quickfoot

they no longer carry my 450 wat modstreme so there sending a 600 watt new in box http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817341001 guess they really do have the best warrenty like they claim.

hmph, if i knew i needed a new psu i would have just got a x1950xt. well this ocz modstreme i have has 35 amps and says max load 550 watt, but why did it die? i did after trying the 6pin pci connection try the 6 pin sata connection but should that kill a psu? thats when it went dead made a lil funy sound but no smoke or burnt smell. if i do end up getting a new psu it will be at least 750 watt but i like the modular option on this psu. i never had cleaner wires before this last build. i just want a psu i dont have to upgrade for a while if i get new.

My PSU died while instaling this new card 8800gts. before it died the card fan came on but i got no video, ocz is sending me a new psu but i have to wait. I'm sure the psu is dead, unfortunatly i have no other psu with pci power cable so i cant really try the new card to be sure it works or wasnt damaged when the psu died. is 450 watt enuff for a 8800gts i only run 1 HD and 1 DVD drive and 2 120mm case fans. My fear is i'll wait for the new psu only to find out its not powerfull enuff and end up waiting fora new psu after the rma. the minamum specs for 8800 is 400 watt i belive am i wrong, anyone elce with 8800gts here what psu do you have.

Its my new favorite Game. thrers also a 1.1 patch already but they didnt fix the grenader score bug yet :/

saphire x800 pro pci 16x Reta just the x800 pro 50$ retail box accessories included I just remembered (its in case without window) i instaled a zalman heatpipe cooler on it. the stock coolers in the box and included. if you dunno how to switch such things i can swap it back and send it out stock. get it for less than 1/4 what i paid. this cooler http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zalman/ZM-80D 50$ buyer pays shipping.

i'd guess heat, memory errors or the power supply. or maybe you have an abit board, theres a known issue with the sound on ai7 ics ext..

420 will be agp 423 will come out later and have pci express. so i read someware...

mines still in the mail bestbuy now for all my games.

welp there all gone, was a deal at bestbuy for 29.99 but now all thats left is the regular 6 cd box. i seen dvd copys changing hands in other forums for 75$ since there not making any more anyone who didnt get a dvd is out of luck.

my secondary rig i use for internet browsing and irc downloading has a 1700+ which i had for sale( was gonna use the money on a xp-m) but my 1700 does 2.3ghz and thats fine for what i use it for, but then again for 77 bucks...

i'm legit as a quickdollar bill

hmph

I dont have h20, but i do have slk 947-u 92mm tornado(with fan speed controler, damn its loud stock) NOW back to homers benchmarks!

all specs below are current this is the results from a cold boot, the memory will be much higher cause its a pentium. pcMark 2002 CPU 8159 Memory 11038 HDD 2189 congrats on the new hardware

i agree, still waiting for a good reason to update my year old 9700 pro, i'll let you all know when i find one.

i was downloading it and my pc randomly rebooted at 98% cause i overclock. SIKE!!! sorry i dont have a link this time, but this is one of the patches that acually improves a game in a world of patches that take skill and fun outa most games.

I had a dell, still do its sitting here colecting dust, i bought a 9700 pro foor it about a year ago, the 9700 pro got a 3dmark score of 9,500 points or so.. well then i built my first computer a xp1700 and an asus aznax mobo with 512 corrsair xms3200LL and my very same 9700 pro now benched 3dmark 2001 at 15,000, and the same 9700 pro is in my intel comp now that benches over 19,000 3dmark 2001 so i bet you just need to drop the dell and get a real computer. My dell is a p4@2.0 with 768 of pc2100 and its for sale. first 300$ takes it.

i see it right now at 13.99, its worth 21.99 tho homer, it ducts air out the back of your case, its easily the BEST cooler for an ati card. and yes killer i have a temp probe i tested it stock and with the arctic cooler with the same probe lead and it was 60+ c now its 45c load. in fact the stock ati cooler made my temp alarm go off cause its default to 60c

i use this, keeps my 9700 pro at 45c load down from 60+ , also will lower your case temps a few degres, i paid 25 for mine heres a nice deal on a very usefull cooler. http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=270864 9700 pro 380/340 baisacally 9800 speed.

I predict facehole will become the bigest overclocker of us all.

LOL toms hardware reviews, are you serious only advice i'll give is wait on the prescot from intel, its not really susposed to be a socket 478 anyway.

http://www.clanshack.com/downloads/ i got 310k from the first mirror

yes binding 1 key to do multiple things is configing.

wow bird my scores are almost identical to yours, i also would be happy to hit 20k but thats about 1,000 points off for me. for now i'll just be happy i can play games like farcry @ 1600x1200 perfectly.

i have all the good configs
