    News on PCP&C Silencer 750 + 8800GTX SLI

    The TDP of the 8800GTX is 185W, isn't it? 31A for the two of them, then you have 29A left for the rest of the system. :eek:

    Help with this build please?

    With an E6400, any old DDR2-800 memory will work, since at DDR2-800 speeds, the CPU would be running at 3.2GHz.

    Best PSU for under $150?

    FlexForce is an Ultra thing. They might even have trademarked it. Also, the CMPSU-620HX costs more than $150. hdwag06, for a system like that, you would do well enough with the Enhance ENP-5140GH if you get an 8800GTS. The PSU itself has enough power for an 8800GTX, but I don't know if it...

    What do you do with your PC? Gaming, audio editing/recording, what else? If that's it, you'd be set with an OCed E6300. Since SLI isn't in your future, go with a cheaper board like the Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 or Biostar TForce 965PT unless you need Firewire support. Is the $1800 available only...

    If you stay with one CPU and a reasonable number of HDs (say, less than 8), you'll be perfectly fine with the vast majority of 700-750W PSUs.

    New Flight Simulator X Rig

    I had in mind a linear scaling of performance (i.e. before the point of diminishing returns). Any game will speed up if you OC the CPU, even at 3200x1600 resolution.

    Yet another "Please look over my system bofore I buy it"

    Honestly, latency is pretty much useless. The only real advantage is that sometimes you can raise timings and extract more speed out of the memory. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2006/07/18/core_2_duo_memory_timings/7.html I have the ATX-400PN. Popped it open and saw Teapo caps. Not bad...

    New Flight Simulator X Rig

    How is something limited by more than one factor? BS. If we assume that most 750W supplies have a combined +12V output of 60A, that leaves at least 32A for the CPU, mobo, PCI cards, hard drives, and optical drives. Let's say you have a quad-core C2E with TDP of 130W, that's about 11A. No...

    AFAIK, flight sims tend to be CPU-bound, so you can drop the GTX to a GTS if you want DX10 compatibility. Will you overclock your CPU?

    New value c2d build

    How far do you want to take it (OCing, I mean)? If you just want to play games on it, you won't need the highest OC you can get, but instead just a speed that'll ensure that the games remain GPU-limited, really. If that's the case, I'd go with an E6300 and DDR2-667 memory which should be good...

    will this work for 2x 8800 GTS?

    Each 8800GTX sucks up 12-13A, and the 8800GTS should take less than that. According to techreport, it's just under the power consumption of the X1900XT 256MB, which should mean ~9A per 8800GTS. Say 10A, because the power figures are lower in the techreport chart (possibly because of the...
