Glad you put that up. Much better.
Hey when someone throws out numbers that don't jibe you got to fix it!! and you did!!
Keeps everyone on the level and thanks for doing it!!
Now post it right along side a bechmark that you freshly ran!! Cuz it must score well!!!
How about a 3D06 run...
you won't be disappointed with either card. As long as your monitor is 22inch or less I wouldn't consider anything but the 260! The money you save will just add to the rest of your system like a good psu or a good Cpu-cooler. I don't know your financial situation??
Hmmmmm2 the clocks you...
E8400 processors ..... Both have been running at insane clocks and volts since January 2008 ...No degradation at all!!..... NONE I have nothing to worry about and neither does anyone else!!

This card has been just great!! All on stock cooling!!
I do however pump good cold air through the system
Air-conditioned air in summer and outside cold air in winter:D
This card kicks ass when you run it with an insane e8400!!
Asus P5E Mobo and G.Skill 6400HZ memory...
With 6400HZ if you insist on crippling it running it at such low speeds the run it at 3-3-3-5
Better yet use the dividers and get it up between 550 and 625 or 1100mhz and 1250 mhz with timings of 5-5-5-6. You are just torturing that memory by dogging it down the way you are!!! You have some of...
You know I am just thrilled with my 260GTX. I run it daily @ 751/1536/1236 with my fan at 100%
it will run furmark forever at these settings and never exceed 63C. 3 hours of COD4 free for all gets it up to 43C. The card is a little montster.
All that being said however if I already had a...
Voltage was set at 1.58125 in bios. I have been torturing 2 e8400's since January and both still hit as high and fast as ever. One liquid cooled, one aircooled.

Hey, my pleasure Donovan i look forward to you getting your new set up!! I will be watching and will lend a hand when and where and if you need it. I like to get every last bit of speed out of a system I can as it just makes your dollar to performance ratio look that much better!!
WZ
Donovan Tipton I see you are running the MSI P6N SLI Board. I Think were I you I would opt for either the e8400 or the 8500 they are only about $10 apart now @ newegg. I would not hold my breath for ultra high clocks with the MSI board though. With the E8500 if you could get to 400fsb you would...
I have been benching and experimenting with my card the last couple weeks also. I bought the MSI from newegg and it has been just great!! It can hold it's own with any single card.
WZ
Most of the people in this thread will never get near either card's potential because of your anemic clocks. Wolfdales,Conroes, lord some of you are running obsolete amd machines.
All of these will bottlenck these cards at your low clocks. Both are very capable. You are all in here arguing the...
I bought the MSI 260GTX from the egg. I got mine for 299 free ship.
It is the best card I have run on to date. It is also the coolest card to date!!
I see people calling others liars and yet no-one has posted a temp on either side
I seen some say how torturous furmark is so I loaded it...
Not only that but your Prescott will run Cooler than ever!!. You see the Prescott developed much of it's heat due to the chipsets it ran on. With a modern more efficient chipset they run much cooler!!
Check out my old 540 running on my Asus P5KE-wifi. I ran till my E8400 showed up!!

why don't you post up some cpuz shots and maybe some pics of your set up as a 30 inch monitor is kinda an odd size. you have really told us nothing of this alleged board.
So why don't you show it off a bit for us doubters......

The standard evga 8800GTS is just a fantastic card. It is quiet and an absolute terror.
Now mind you my 6600 Conroe is running at 3825mhz daily. At that speed My 8800GTS scores 194,000 on Aquamark and 60,000+ on 3D01SE. As I said it is a terror. There is no game I can't play till I have had all...
on the outside pumping air in. Close up the front of your case and put oin the side cover. you can't get air flow like that. It is also better to have positive airflow. that is just a little more going in than is going out. It keeps the dust down and helps everything stay cooler.
Here is a link...
I run the G.Skill HZ also I have found with 4 sticks that most just think they need to loosen the timings way up. I have found that it is not necessary. It runs like a champ right here. This is with 2.3V to the memory. I have a 90mm fan blowing on my mem at all times.
It benches and folds...
I knew a girl once that could suck start a leaf blower!! She was too damn loud too!!
I remember the 5800fan almost made me react the way fingernails scratching a chalkboard did. You know the thing that bothers me was their were some who really overhyped this 2900 card to get people wound up to...
Did you run driver cleaner it sounds like there may have been a conflict. And perhaps you just got a bad card. It does happen. Trust me get the card issue sorted and you will love the 8800GTS.
WZ
No Need to flash to change clocks!!!!! You flash to change a bios which inturn changes voltage settings.
Just buy the Cheapest possible and clock it yourself.
I just bought the cheapest EVGA 8800gts 320. For $259. Now the evga superclocked cost like $50 to $60 more.
The cheap one comes...
You people get tired of all the hypothetical B.S. Should refuse to RMA it because of stupid question syndrome. Leave the memory in the case and toss yourself into the fireplace...

502-995-0883 ask for bios department. They will mail one out to you. Well at least they will for people on this side of the River!! A little windy over your way.
WZ
shoot an email to [email protected] tell them you need an rma all they will want to know is where you bought it and when an fill out the form and they will send you an RMA#. Just like that! You will mail it off to them the day after they get it they will fedex replacement back to you! I speak from...
This is the best memory going you show no screenshots or no proof of anything you say.
This is by far the best mem I have ever used!!!
This is my Daily clock running my P5W DH with my 6600Conroe and G.Skill 6400HZ

oozish makes the "Deal With it" Statement like he has a clue? What is that?
I like the way you are dealing with it! Anytime you can cut heatdown significantly you are dealing with it. You are making your card last longer. you are increasing your chance for better OC's if you decide to OC it. I...
That board will supoport your 2.8B just fine. Pop it in and put it to good use.
Apply good thermal compund between processor and cooler and it will be a great pick up for him.
WZ
:D You say in the first post that you contacted the place you got it from. It is not Asus holding up an rma from a store. Before you shop at an E-tailer or local retailer find out what their return policies are. I bought a P5N-e sli from Newegg and it was DOA.
I was testing it to be sure and...
You will have to run your chipset disc that accompany's the board to put on all your drivers onto the new board but windows should be very happy since it is the same board.
I have never had to re-install windows even when going to an ientirely differnt set up I have had to reactivate but, not...
wait for the Much anticipated G00se Lake board arrives too. Or you could make any order and start enjoying the fastest system you ever had by this weekend or early next week.
If it is frills you want then the P5W DH definately has them. I personally love the P5W DH. I have been running it since...
They are both 975 Chipset at stock they will be virtually identical. Get whichever one is the least expensive or the one that appeals to your eye.Either will OC later should decide to try it.

Well you are for sure idling way too hot!!
Still you need to download and run TAT from intel.
I am, kinda baffled by the corsair psu. They have been just solid but, yours only making 10.52 volts on the 12volts rail is just way off. If that is correct you need to RMA that psu for another. If...
When asking for help. Let us know the setup. Now you failed to mention just what motherboard you are running this processor on, you said nothing of the memory you ate using. you did not tell us what psu that only puts out just over 10v on the 12 volt line you are using. Shouldn't that alone tell...
I would just tell them on the rma form that the temps are excessive get the rma# ship it and offer no more than that much info. I am sure you will get a new one in the mail. And you can slide right past this. report back on the outcome.

Most people don't get it right when they put a hsf on a vid card. If you give the one that came with the card a good ventilated case with good cool to cold air to use it would cool
itself sufficiently even at high clocks. I would say you are stuck with one card. you need to rma it and if they...
And running as a daily clock on my card, GPU 700mhz and memory 980. My idle tamps are at 30C right now with even much higher clocks and my load temps never exceed 53C. My card is the E-VGA 7900GT "reloaded" The cooling is completely stock. I just have a great supply of cool to very cold air...
All the better that chipset will do is 320fsb well quite frankly there is no reason anyone who reads anything would buy this board ever for what, SLI
Good grief all of you who bought it should read more. not one person should own that POS!! Not one!! For any price for any reason. Then...
