KiRiN April 16, 2003 Author Share KiRiN Member April 16, 2003 blew up? why'd it do that? the most i've ever done is burn out a PS, which smells really bad and started smoking... not exactly what i want to see from the back of my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 16, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 16, 2003 Rooster is being a little melodramatic when he said "blew up". It just fried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[VI]ROosTEr April 16, 2003 Share [VI]ROosTEr Member April 16, 2003 No, it literally exploded, I tried to defuse, but alas I was too late Yeah, it just quit working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiRiN April 16, 2003 Author Share KiRiN Member April 16, 2003 well the benchmarks for the 9600 Pro are out and the 9500 pro beats it in almost everything. so with this in mind should i buy a 9500 Pro now while i can still find them, or wait until i build my computer in 2 months and buy whats out then?

KiRiN April 17, 2003 Author Share KiRiN Member April 17, 2003 i've also read some reviews of the new intel chipsets, they sound really good and if the price is right i'd lean towards them with the faster FSB and ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 17, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 17, 2003 The 9500 will be around for a while. I say wait to buy it...the longer you wait, the cheaper it will get. I just recently got a 9700 Pro for $265 from the following site. Best price that I could find (Thanks Rooster). Also, it has free shipping (albeit it takes about 2 weeks...but I can wait). http://www.ocsystem.com/videocard.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL April 17, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 17, 2003 (edited) Sweet, I got my RAM today (OCZ Tech 2x512MB PC3500 Cas2 DDR from NewEgg.com) but the vid card isn't due to arrive until the 21st. P.S. Man, we are straight up pwning the MB tonight. P.P.S.

[VI]ROosTEr April 17, 2003 Share [VI]ROosTEr Member April 17, 2003 Yet another lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiRiN April 17, 2003 Author Share KiRiN Member April 17, 2003 i looked around OCSystem and its interesting, but would you recomend them? it says they are not responsible for OCing so do they have a good rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[VI]ROosTEr April 17, 2003 Share [VI]ROosTEr Member April 17, 2003 They aren't responsible for you when you overclock your system? I don't think anyone would take that kind of responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL April 17, 2003 Share dwEEziL Member April 17, 2003 I don't OC my stuff so I don't know about that. Rooster pointed the site out to me so I hope it is ok. /me crosses fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiRiN April 18, 2003 Author Share KiRiN Member April 18, 2003 oh i guess i just read it wrong, i was thinking they said they arent responable for the OCing they do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
