    pics of a FrozenQ res after 3 years

    I tend to feel that way too, except that I would say "Just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's worth the money.":)

    Motivation 2.0

    I have to admit I'm going to miss seeing the TJ07 you were doing, but I'm sure you've replaced it with something interesting. Carry on, as they say!

    I'll be sure to check that video out. And the sleeving of Nils, only the best!:)

    Motivate - TJ07

    I prefer option 1, as it has more flair then just a single red line imo. Regardless, any front panel made by Ricardo will look great. If it resembles a Murdermod/Murderbox design, so be it, that pays respect to an important part of the TJ07 heritage, and still looks good on any TJ07 build...

    Motivate - TJ07

    That's good to hear. I realize that sometimes circumstances change, and although it's rare, I've seen a few good build logs posted that died before they were finished. This one deserves to reach completion!

    Gee, this build log sure looks familiar, exactly like one I saw that was started on another forum and abandoned, same mascot and all:rolleyes:

    Replacing stock TIM on GTX 470/480 Thread

    So, combined with the tim replacement, this should produce a huge temp.drop. jk:rolleyes: I've also been replacing cpu/gpu tim for years. I find the exposed heatpipes of the 470/480 heatsink with it's grooves and uneven surface to be the biggest problem when trying to find a suitable tim...

    GTX260/280 Aftermarket coolers.....

    Sorry, I don't live in the UK, but the HR-03GTX is available in the US and is now appearing in Canada, some shops may ship to the UK. Have you inquired at Overclockers UK? There is another thread in this section a few pages down about the HR-03GTX, I posted to it as well. I won't repeat my...

    HR-03 GTX (GTX 280) - VRM (Bad) & General Temps

    Ya, dccmadams, your reply really helps this thread. You must enjoy being a troll. -x-th: Thanks for creating this important thread. I have a 280 as well, and have just purchased an HR-03GTX for it. I have installed several other HR-03 series heatsinks on various Nvidia cards ranging from the...

    Should I get a quad core?

    bazookaworm: Nothing against quad-core processors, they are great for those who need them, but based on your requirements and what you have stated you want to do, I would suggest getting an E8400 dual-core, good pricing on them now. And they provide plenty of speed, regardless if they are...

    Upgrading from 8800 Ultra to GTX 260....aftermarket cooling?

    Ever read through a thread and all it's replies and then deeply regret doing so:rolleyes:

    Freakin' wow I love my GTX260...

    You will get one hell of an improvement going to the 260, just as RussianHAXOR did. No more stuttering for me, Crysis is smooth as silk. And COD4, R6V2, Bioshock, Assassins' Creed, etc. Oddly enough, even GTASA has had some rough sections I was experiencing with my GX2 and previous 8800GTS taken...

    AMD: EVGA Wanted To Sell ATI Cards

    gx2 to 280

    I agree. Did the step-up from a GX2 to the 280 as well. As many have reported, the 280 is smooth. No more stuttering, and AA can be used without bogging things down to unplayable framerates. I did mine before the price drop but it was still only about 50 bucks. At the current prices it costs...

    Ready to order, which of these 260's?

    That's great, good benches, you don't hold back on the AA and settings either. You are getting very good temps., obviously not one of the overheating cards, although that seems to have been more of an issue with the 280's. Having said that, my 280 has had no temp. problems either, but it's in a...

    I'm going with the GTX280

    You won't regret getting one, I've only had my EVGA GTX 280 for about two weeks now, (step-up from a GX2) but it has been trouble-free. There really is a big difference in smoothness, even with Crysis. And no more stuttering. Not in any hurry to overclock it yet because it performs so well at...

    Ready to order, which of these 260's?

    Excellent choice, I was about to give the EVGA FTW card my vote. Crysis runs very smooth on these cards, let us know how well the card performs for you:cool:

    Looking at buying a GTX 260

    I would recommend you get a GTX 260, it's a damn fast card at a good price. But also check out the EVGA version as they have the Step-Up program and a terrific warranty and customer service. I recently traded up from an EVGA 9800GX2 to a GTX 280 and couldn't be happier with its performance...

    no aftermarket gtx 280 air coolers yet?

    Thermalright HR-03GTX. According to Thermalright (I e-mailed their support) it will be out in August.

    EVGA dropped their MSRPs

    Thanks:) From what I've heard so far, the 260 is another rocketship, especially when overclocked. They are overclocking very well too, so it is looking really good for the 260. If I didn't already have a GX2 for the step-up and had to buy one outright, I would have gone for the 260 as well...

    EVGA dropped their MSRPs

    Good for you, RussianHAXOR, you deserve a new card. GTX280? I have my step-up GTX280 coming (shipped today) from EVGA. I couldn't believe how fast I advanced from #255 on the quenue. And the 280 was shipped almost immediately after they received my GX2. Now I hear I may get a few bucks back from...

    GTX 280, down but not out...

    Go for it. Grab a couple 4850's and load up the "immature" drivers and play some "poorly coded" Crysis with 'em:D

    EVGA has the 280 on the site for Step Ups!

    Lol:p Thanks again for the information and good news. Shouldn't be too bad of a wait. Not that I am lacking any firepower now with an EVGA GX2:) But a new toy awaits.................

    How many GX2 owners are going to upgrade to a 280?

    I joined the EVGA step-up list as well, (#255:(). Been experiencing the micro-stuttering to some degree with the GX2, it's a fast card alright, but I'm really looking forward to the smoothness of the single-gpu cards, the 8800GTS 640 and G92 versions I had didn't stutter like the GX2. The Crysis...

    EVGA has the 280 on the site for Step Ups!

    Hopefully Mr. Haxor will chime in and give us some insight. I did feel better when I saw his post about the step-ups being moved in large blocks. I guess it depends on how many cards EVGA actually has available to ship and how efficiently they can process the step-ups.

    EVGA: Now it's getting silly

    Well, whether or not you like factory-overclocked cards, I think it's cool that EVGA has all those versions of the 280. I have always done well with their vanilla cards and prefer to use Rivatuner, although lately I switched to EVGA Precision (love that Age Of Conan skin by DWood, that girl's hot:D)

    EVGA has the 280 on the site for Step Ups!

    Think there is any chance I will see my 280 this summer? Number 255 in queue:( I have been checking the site for two days, no step-ups yet when I was last able to check at 6am this morning. Since I have to work from 7am to 3.30pm, I couldn't get my step-up in until 4pm today. So much for the...

    Is my GPU DEAD?

    Poor 8800GT:(
  36. D

    Upgrade question. Please advise.

    But if the op uses the BB gift cards to get a card, I think that 9800GTX is an excellent choice. Also, BFG has a Step-Up program so that card could be upgraded within the 90 days to something a little faster *cough* GTX260 *cough*:D

    what happened to nTune?

    R.I.P. nTune sucks, and always has. Grab a copy of RivaTuner or EVGA Precision and enjoy:D

    Good point, it is kind of "the ultimate buyer's remorse item" right now! $250? Where did you buy it, in a bar? :D
