Hey,
Got a Intel 535 240gb drive today. Did a data migration from a older Intel drive to this, first time I ever try a migration and it went smoothly. (no time to do clean install just yet).
Ran some crystaldiskmark benchmarks on the Intel 535 (which is my OS hd) and Samsung 850 EVO. EVO...
How are the temps with your dual gpu setup? and what cards are they ^^
thinking of building a X79 matx setup with this case, just hate the goddamn CPU cooler limitation (height)
so anyone found any reviews or people who used this case for their builds?
only live pics Ive found are:

I installed this cooler for a couple of days ago on my 4870x2, and I cant really say that I had problems with the x-brackets at all. the card is from Powercolor, but I guess all the stock 4870x2 coolers come from AMD/ATI so they should be the same (some vendors excluded, tricool etcetc). I...
Anyone playing at 2560x1600 with a HD4870x2 ? My game lags now and then, really annoying. with the SSOA enabled.
edit.
ok SSOA was enabled, disabled it and it runs constant 60fps.
Got a question about asus maximus formulas northbridge voltage.
I've set it to 1.45v in bios, now I can see in everest that its jumping between 1.39/42/46/1.50v. This happens in idle and Load (prime/intelburn).
My board is about 1yr old.
Is this normal ?
mmmmm, nice article. I was set to get the new gtx260, but now the 4850CF seems a good competitor. I have a dell 30inch, but going past the 300$ is not worth it for me (as I dont game as much anymore).
where I live you can pretty much get 2 4850 for the price of one gtx260 heh
(anyone know...
im pretty much in the same situation. Had a 8800GTS 512mb, it couldnt rly run nothing smoothly at native (2560x1600) with candy on. I'm now after a new card, sold the gts, but not keen on spending money on a SLI/crossfire/4870x2/gtx280 combo/card. Curse the high ress, eh.
So Im either going...
Ah, thats what I feared, thx for the info. Everything gets so hot inside the case with no exhaust fan, so i thought that replacing the heatsink on my 8800GTS 512mb would reduce some of the heat (but I guess it would still generate the same amount ..). Any other silent heatsink choices?
I...
8800GTS 512mb / Gainward
my stable ( so far )
original: 650/972/1625 mhz
OC: 760/1000/1850 mhz
780mhz on core seems to get me artifacts, 1900mhz+ on shader gives me artis. havent tried to max out mem yet.
I got the Ultima-90 for my Q6600. Iam not too fund of the attaching method, using one metallic thing to hold it down. I thought maybe one can use the mounting kit for ultra 120/extreme, LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit for the ultima-90.
Anyone tried this? is it doable.
It just seems like a better...
hmm this happened to me too, bought a 8800GT from evga and when I got the box, the box seal was off (cut off) and the metal part which u use to attach the card to the case was bent. Returned it, didnt want to take the risk of it being a service ex, so I got the 8800GT SCC from evga instead for...
ok its weird to check all these reviews of 8800GT getting superb results in 2560x1600 and irl when u play its different. If it can hold the 30.40fps border when its the most heaviest then its enough for me
ah yea I know, I just put the wrong name for this thread heh, my bad.
it is the ddr2 version Iam getting, as said my only concern is that the heatsink will reach the dimm slots.
and I went with 2 HD3870 just for the heck of it :) lets hope the psu doesnt falter under pressure (with cpu oc:ed).
could some of u guys check the space around the cpu socket. I took the OCZ reaper memories and those have huge heatpreaders, and the heatsink i took is pretty wide so my concern is that will it reach the dimm slots. thermalright ultima-90.
Ok, so it was time for me to put up a new system, with this new motherboard as the base. Just need to check if the synergy is there :cool:, or if some parts need to be changed etcetc.
what I picked;
-------------
Asus Maximums Formula
Q6600 + Thermalright Ultima-90
OCZ Reaper 2x2gb pc6400...
Gonna pair this mobo with a Q6600 and OCZ reaper 2x2gb pc6400 memory (4-4-4-15) and a Thermalright ultima-90 cpu cooler. Are these components a good match? not going for any extreme ocing results though, but 3.2-3.6? Or should I reconsider
ok, so 2 dual slot graphic cards would be too much, 2 x HD3870.
How about 1 x HD3870 + 1 x HD3850, anyone know if these would fit in it?
or is it only possible with 2 x HD3850.
I wouldnt do it. but thats just me. ATI's new card is also out soon.
the SX38P2 is still almost 2 months away, so hold on atleast until you know the exact shipdate of SX38P2
yea, well I just hope they will release it next month, waiting to see the new ati cards anyway. With ddr2 being cheap and new cards coming out next month, it seems like the perfect time to buy a new comp:cool:
wonder when reviews of these babes are gonna pop up. and would be nice to see the new case design for their x38 deluxe ed; is it gonna be another bling bling kind of deluxe or something more discreet and sleek.
well the bios settings are the same I used before, mem ran somwehere around 22x mhz. the bios kinda sucks on this board, but it has a AGP frequency setting thing and thats on 66.Also possible to increase the agp voltage, but gonna go check out some more.

ok, so had a Auto Detect PCI clk...
