Really need to find a camera.

Got my 24" BenQ G2400WD monitor.

A second 8800GT for SLI and another 2gb RAM

VGA coolers, Arctic Silver, Heatsink Cleaner

Before

After

New Keyboard and CPU cooler

All done =D

Some bargain bin pick-ups

 

[tmaynard]

After

How complicated were those coolers to add, and how much of a difference in temps did you notice? Also, noise?

Awesome post. But why not get Accelero S1s?

 

[Router]

Shit! I didn't know it was out yet.

 

[Manp]

apparently at full speed they're pretty noisy and the fan speed is not adjustable unless you have a rheobus or something like that

 

[bloodline]

Not too difficult. You just unscrew the stock cooling from the back. Stick some heatsinks on the memory, add some grease and screw on the new cooler.

I had an older model 8800gt and a newer one. Old one was 80c idle / 105c load. New one was 70c idle / 80c load. Now they are both 50c idle / 60c load.

As far as noise...theyre about 10 dB quieter than stock...but there are more quiet coolers out there if thats your main concern.

 

[bloodline]

I looked at those but you have to get a special SLI bridge to accommodate their larger size and I didnt want to deal with that.

 

[Hazaro]

Very simple, just a few screws. Temps probably around 30C drop, looking at 40C idle-ish.

Awesome post. But why not get Accelero S1s?

Because they are OOS everywhere :lol

Or maybe didn't want to deal with a flexible SLi Bridge either.
Plus, the bottom one would of had to run passive, or maybe he just likes copper and blue LEDs. :lol

As far as noise...I really have nothing else to compare them to other than stock and theyre much quieter than the stock cooling.

Should of turn fan speed up to 60% or higher instead of stock 20%.

I had no problems before upgrading to my S1, Crysis ran for an hour just fine as my card hit 92C under load :lol

I would of expected them to perform better than that :/. My S1 with a single 80mm on it does 42C idle and 52C load. Passive I get the same numbers as you.

*edit: last thing, those Ballistix look single sided from here, not the best sticks in the world anymore fyi. They stopped the awesome D9 production a while back, and even then lots were dying.

Just looking out for ya. (Even if they are $20 some times)

A second 8800GT for SLI and another 2gb RAM

This is what I exactly purchased this month, 2 gigs of RAM and the 8800GT. Although I did not attach any extra cooling devices. Running Unreal Tournament 3 and Quake Wars at full settings is bliss.

Now I have an interesting dilemma when purchasing games since they now look way better on my PC then the Xbox360.

[Esperado]

Are you sure you have the heat sink pointing in the right direction?

 

[Echoes]

• Batman Begins
• The Dark Knight OST
• The Departed
• Sly Cooper
• Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Special Extended Edition, those editions are godly awesome)
• The Office UK

 

[mambadragon]

yeah, that heatsink is backwards.

 

[Scotch]

Well, depends on the direction the fan is blowing in.

 

[stawnkald]

Yay I can finally contribute to society (or just this thread) since I have a decent camera phone to replace the shitty digital camera that died on me. Note "decent" since the picture still kinda sucks. :lol

I needed a new mic and this was only 8 bucks more than a mic sold by itself.

[Amir0x]

A second Wii Fit board, because I'm a consumer whore. Batman Begins special edition. I purchased all 6 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, not pictured here. Finally got PERSONA 3 FES because I think I'll have some time to crack into it, since Final Fantasy Tactics A2 sucked so much and I'm almost finished with FFIVre. Space Invaders EXTREME is so awesome. And some weed for my super high. All gone though, already smoked

 

[MickeyPhree]

The wii will make a nice compliment to the ps3. No more xbox360 and RROD for me!

Sweet buys there especially that joypad.

 

[Kadey]

It's definitely backwards. :lol

Supposed to blow out like this. Fan on heatsink is supposed to suck out all the hot air from within to another fan acting as an exhaust.

 

[Metalic Sand]

+1 NPD. Took me 4 hours to get a PSN name

Capcom classics has NES port of BC!

So youre saying it should be blowing hot air across the heatsink...rather than pulling it off?

 

[Drewsy]

The new iPod Touch by itself... no

The iPhone yes... name me a better phone with better browser/mail capabilities

Blackberry curve (email), but the blackberry browser/Media Net is really ghetto compared to the iphone's.

 

[Kadey]

Yep. If you want to check it, open your PC case and have it running. Notice the direction it's blowing.
