All, I just received a new EVGA 8800Ultra Superclocked 768MB video card today from Newegg and it seems to be performing worse than my previous ATI x1900xtx video card. I installed the latest 8800 driver from EVGA – 163.75 as well as tried a clean install of the driver package CD from EVGA...

All, I’m debating on whether or not to upgrade my current video card from an ATI 1900xtx to an EVGA 8800Ultra Superclocked 768MB only or upgrade the video card as well as the CPU and motherboard to an Asus Strike Extreme Edition, Intel QX6850 with 2GB of Corsair DDR2 800 CMX1024-6400C4...

Any idea how this will perform compared to the stock x1900xtx cooler? I purcahsed an ATI x1900xtx and am looking into overclocking it a bit on air of course. The stock fan is the loudest in my case, but I don't mind when it spins up and I'm gaming because all I hear is the game :D I just built...

All, When trying to establish maximum HTT, CPU, RAM, and HT in order to safely overclock a system, should you start out with CPU voltage set to “Auto” in BIOS? Currently, mine is set to “Auto” on an Asus a8n sli premium board and wondered if it was safe to leave this at this setting when...

Darkjedi, I have my FX-60 slightly overclocked to 2.85GHz and after running two instances of Prime95 for exactly 10 minutes, motherboard temperature is at 36C and CPU temperature is at 49C. I’m using the Antec P180 case and just added a Zalman 9500 as well as an Antec TriCool 120mm used in...

Found the answer! :) I found some information at this URL: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article255-page5.html Thanks!

Yatzee, I just installed the 9500 and you are correct in that it looks much bigger in a picture than it does in person. I had no problem fitting it into the case and previously I had removed the middle drive cage. I have to Raptors and one additional SATA drive in the lower drive compartment...

From what I can see by looking at the pictures of the Asus A8n-Sli Premium and A8n-Sli Deluxe, it would seem that the location of my cpu slot has been moved further to the right, but the first graphic card slot that I must use has also been moved a bit further to the right. Based on the...

Okay, after running two instances of Prime95 for 10 minutes focused on each processor, my motherboard temperature remained at 36c and the cpu temperature rose and remained at 54c. This is my very first system build and I believe I may have placed a bit too much Arctic Silver 5 on my current HSF...

Incredible reply! Not only do you have a similar build, but included pictures. How are you able to run Prime95 on each core? Every time I open a new instance of Prime95, it just resorts back to the first. I see the affinity option, but there is only one option to select cup 0 or 1. I was going...

Anyone using a Zalman CNPS9500, Asus A8nsli premium and Antec p180 combination? Any problems with the Zalman fitting or orientation of the fan blades/blowing? I'll be using it to cool an AMD FX-60 with a mild overclock to 2.85GHz. If you do have this combination, what are your temps on full...
