Is OP right in the head? IE6??? ugh.

I can vouch for the xigmatek. I didnt even plug the fan into the cpu_fan port- straight to the psu and its still super quiet. The loudest thing in my case is the video card.

Normal enough for me :/ im idling at about 44c on each core except core 4 (39). Load hits 78 in prime95. The only reason I havent fiddled with it is because the xigmatek was a bitch to install,

Undercover was fun. Really fast paced, but the performance was aweful (assuming it was volumetric particles?) I miss the Hot Pursuit series. I wanna be the cop again!

-1 for saying "We have a WINRAR" Tired of 4chan material making its way outside of 4chan.

I personally prefer razer mice for gaming, and the MX revolution for everything else. Yes I use two mice.

Its probably your GTX 260. Mine makes a whining noise during the loading screens of games or any time the framerate is over 300. I think its "normal" :/

I never claimed that it was right. Thats just how to read it. But since you mention it, I claim fake on UT3. Depending on the GPU that game can be VERY CPU dependant. Quake 4 looks real, and I cant speak for Lost planet.

You people have never seen a chart like that before? They are useing the Phenom II as a baseline, and all others relative to it. The Phenom II performs (in this chart) at 100% in all tasks. It is the fastest. The chart shows performance as a percentage of the maximum score in the...

Quad core depending on what you do. I personally run my Q6600 at 3.2 and its plenty fast for everything.

18 amps? My EVGA requires a 500watt PSU with at least 36 amps to the +12 volt rail. Yours wont be much different.

Why does everybody have performance problems at the ice levels? I dont get it.

That thars a TN panel. Time for an uppie(at least to a newer TN- they can be nice)!

Very nice. Similar to the method I used before I bought my SB600

Not too surprising. When I was running OS x on my pc it was the fastest power mac I ever used- but I dont think it should matter with PS - my processor didnt change... Also, in my experience having more cores does not mean faster photoshop. Memory makes the difference, and Im willing to bet...
