Yeah I have also have an 9600GT installed too and I'm a little confused as well. What modification to your case did you make exactly? Also, if you mount some fans on the back of the case it will help at least 3x with your circulation problem and works amazing. (That picture is right as I'm typing this during idle but under full load it'll never go above 110F.
But yeah don't go cutting a darn hole on the bottom of your case.
but dont know if it will be better than the efficient 9150e quad chip. do you know if your bios update will work on my model of slimline?(7720.uk) and does your pc accept quad processors?hi jeremy
just for the record the reason why my PC could fry an egg on top is because of the 9600gt and the cooling system, there is no vent holes at all next to PCIe. all the heat thats generated from this card has no where to go so this is the main reason why i need to cut out some holes to extract the hot air! im not sure if the insides of my PC are different from the US models or newer slimline models but im sure you guys will keep me right
you are correct about the ram but someone has installed 4gb of OCZ ram and worked with 64bit OS, he did say that if your using 32bit it will only show as 3gb, which im using at the moment so until i get 64bit OS system then this will do fine. as for my case im going to cut out a small section and replace the hole with a square wire mesh, similar to the mesh at the back of my PC. i will submit photos when all done!
is there a reason to why i cant cut out a small section from my case???
also will the 9150e or 9350e quad core work on my motherboard and will it be faster than my 5200+ 2.7ghz (this has to be 2600ghz due to core voltages etc... as this baby will give blue screens) will i also get the full benefits from this chip as some people say that due to bios and my bios sucks i wont get all the features with this chip.
is there another way to update bios because HP seem to be slower than a snails pace to release bios updates for modern upgrades!!!!!!!
as for power supply im using the original supply that came with my PC and yes it powers everything! i bought a molex splitter and my 9600gt came with the 6 pin so everything is working ok
if someone could answer everything above would be very appreciative
kind regards me
Hi, i didnt see anyone reply. but a while back a few of Us tried different Phenom CPU, I myself tried a 9550 and i believe someone tried a 9350e, neither of us got the CPU work. I am hoping these CPU will work later, so i am holding back on my mods until then, else by then i would have upgraded.
i know i could do that but i want a cleaner look rather than having horns stick out
im thinking 2 ways of doing it.....
1. cut out a sqaure and use a square metal mesh i bought from maplin.
2. get it machined or drilled either by myself or company depending on cost!
either way i think it will still look better than having fans stuck to the back of PC but thats my opinion
i will post photos once its done and you can say wether its good or bad
regards me
if anyone is interested in buying please let me know....UK only please!why would anyone buy the 9500gt its a piece of $hit go for the 9600gt and take a chance, i did and it works perfectly in my first gen slimline however, my case is overheating and im modding it as we speak
regards me
but why stay in the shade when you can bake in the sun like people have said in previous posts the memory im losing is marginal. and not 160, she cant take no more captain shes gonna blow! if it does then im hoping i can get a slim PSU to replace the exsiting one and im sure you guys will keep me right
