    Twin Turbo installed on my 5870 :-)

    How much space does the twin turbo pro occupy? I mean, how many pci(e) slots does it block?

    Do large displays hamper competitive fps-type gaming?

    I guess his is my main concern. Since my desk is kind of narrow i would have to come up with a wall mount or a new desk to move a 24", say 80cm away from my face.

    Do large displays hamper competitive fps-type gaming?

    hmm, i could try to borrow a large screen. however, i just realized, that probably, it doesnt even matter. my clan and I are so bad at playing fps that i could as well play it on a big screen with all the gimics to at least enjoy the graphics galore :-)

    Need advice on 24" Gaming monitor

    the iiyama e2403ws might be a good choice. don' know about availability in asia though. it has a custom overdrive function, works best on level 2, i read on prad. my impression is that this screen is a benchmark for gaming in its class.

    Do large displays hamper competitive fps-type gaming?

    Considering all the other threads in this forum, this one might be a bit out of the way. But anyways, here it goes: I was thinking to upgrade my 17" pva-type TFT because it shows significant ghosting in titles like Call of Duty 4 and other fast paced fps games. Naturally, I started looking at...

    Try the ClearType Tuner PowerToy from Microsoft. Might help.

    Silencing my SG03 build

    three ?? how did u fit in 3? the fans in the front were not that bad. mainly the gpu and the HDDs were really noisy. but i though, might as well do it right and tuned the fans a bit... and now everything is really silent...

    Silencing my SG03 build

    Lately my SG03 build was starting to annoy me noise wise. The original build had been complemented by two Scythe Kamakaze 120mm fans with blue LEDs blowing in through the front (these fans come with a potentiometer for speed adjustment) mounted with rubber "screws" for noise reduction. Last but...

    I usually use the vacuum cleaner to remove the dust. Works fine, even without removing the grill.

    Passive 8800GT and SG03

    Yeah, but the accelero is mounted on the FRONT side of the card - how about a passive heatsink that is attached to the back side of the card?

    Passive 8800GT and SG03

    Did anybody try it yet, fitting the sparkle passiv 8800GT into the SG03 with the NT06 installed? I am a bit worried about the heatsink on the back of the video card....

    c2d lanbox build

    So, its done. I am quite happy with the build. I found a cheap 7950gt and I went with the p5k-vm, because I wanted to have an ASUS. Now, however I see that maybe it wasn't the wisest choice, because Vdrop is causing the overclock to end at 3,2GHz (BIOS set to 1.5V, which yields 1.38V under...

    How's your cooling with the NT06 and PSU fan?

    I guess all the SG0x cases use the same cooling mechanism when used with a NT06-Lite, so temps should only be different for different air intake capabilities. Maybe your fresh air supply is not sufficient? From the silverstone site i take the sg01 has only one 80mm intake fan at the front? You...

    How's your cooling with the NT06 and PSU fan?

    I'm looking around for a good combination of a power supply together with the Silverstone NT06-Lite cooler , i.e. the heat sink has no dedicated fan but the fan in the PSU drags air through the heat sink. So I wrote to the Silverstone guys: and the reply came 8 hours later, the seem have real...

    PCI-E 2.0

    The x38 will probably be all DDR3. However, the motherboard manufacturers might build ddr2 capable boards. I'm too sleepy to concentrate on this from the SIG PCIE-2 FAQ, but i am reading "2-way" compatability: The new NVIDA G90 and G92 GPUs will be PCI-e 2.0 devices (German website). But i...

    c2d lanbox build

    Just found a build with a SG03 + NT06 and a Q6600 overclocked to 3GHz without extra fans to support the airflow through he NT06. So, i guess, the E6750 should overclock just finely with this setup! Lucky me! :cool:

    c2d lanbox build

    I think the lanbox is the better choice for me compared to the sg03. I'm not willing to spent that much money (case+bag) on basically a better cooling solution and the possibility to install a video card that i am not going to buy in the first place. The lanbox seems to be able to house a...

    c2d lanbox build

    Yeah, I have the same thoughts. I was just wondering whether things have changed or not. I have an old Audigy 1 from my old rig that i can use. I might consider to give myself the AuzenTech Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 for xmas...

    c2d lanbox build

    The SG03 is a nice alternative, together with a carrier like the sugo bag. And the un-necessity of a dedicated fan for the CPU heatsink is really nice. Hmm..., it is a bit more expensive, however, i am tempted... I will sleep over it ;)

    c2d lanbox build

    umph, i guess i wanted to ask Skott instead! The guy who actually has the X-Fi in his signature... so...? Actually, right now a whole bunch of 7900 gtx are available on ebay germany. The narrow slit for fresh air available to the 7900 gtx when a sound card is next to it shouldn't yield more...

    Does anybody know whether the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro cooler (dimensions: 127H * 107W * 97D (mm)) will fit in the TT lanbox? EDIT: Found a review stating 100mm clearance between CPU and PSU... so i guess the freezer won't fit. What do u guys think about the TT Blue Orb II? ( it should fit...

    c2d lanbox build

    Leman & Skott - Thanks very much - Since both of you believe, that the msi is no good, there must be some truth to it ;-) probably i will opt for the gigabyte (it's a bit cheaper). I guess i will have to look for a pci-e dvb-s2 card to pair a x-fi then, in the near future... I was concerned a...

    c2d lanbox build

    EDIT: After going through your very inspiring ideas the Silverstone SG03 has killed my tt lanbox plans for the following reasons: 1. SG03 has better cooling (slow moving 2x120mm as opposed to 1x92 + some small fans) 2. SG03 offers a very nice and quiet cooling solution for the cpu in...
