just a quick bit of motivation for you - I've got mine running at 3.06 Ghz stable, so it can be pushed all the way, just keep on trying!

not sure what size pelt. Physically about the size of a cpu. Has anyone tried using a pelt to cool the ambient case temp by bolting on heatsinks? Any luck?

Quite simply, I've got a spare peltier sitting around, what's the best thing to do with it? Thinking CPU/GPU cooling? Some way of using it to cool the pipes on my A8n32? Cheers

Cheers for all the input! Yep, it's my first! It's a big setup to do for my first time but I've got to start some where! Just doing lots of research, asking about etc. I like the idea (seeing as it's my first time) of using the Swiftech Apex Ultra kit + 2 GPU coolers. Would this setup...

yeh, I want to mount the Rad using the screw holes for a rear fan, that's why I like the idea of the Swiftech Apex kit, just not sure if it could handle the addition of 2 GPU's into the circuit if I use 1/2" tubing?

OK, well thats OK. Just going about my reading, £160 seemed right. I'll spend more if it needs it. So If my budget was £230, could you spec me a full custom kit for that that's suitable for OC and still quiet? Cheers And no holes! But I wouldn't mind maybe cutting the top or back exhaust...

Hi I want to cool: 2 x 7800 GT (SLi'd) Opty 144 It will all be installed in a P180. So, I'm after a few recommended setups from people based on the parts they already use. I'm starting from scratch so need everything. I've not got a budget but would like to stay below £160 if I can...

Hi I'm running : Asus A8n32-SLi Opteron 144 @3.06Ghz SLi'd 7800GT 2GB standard memory at 214 Mhz, 3-3-3-8 2T How much of a bottlekneck is my memory in the system? It is a gaming rig. If an upgrade was worth the money, what would match my system nicely? Thanks Tom

I'm using coolbits to, so not sure! will need to have a look when I get home later! Cheers

Hi When I only had one card installed I was able to right click on the desktop and check card temp on the nVidia menu. Now that i'm running SLi, however, I've lost this option on the menu. Any idea how I can do it? Cheers

LOL! Did you set out to find the most extreme examples ever?! Hideous!

Hi Have been looking around but haven't really found any major help with the problem of cooling when running SLi. I'm running 7800GT SLi using Zalman VF700 on both, which aid the cooling of the cards greatly but as such increase ambient case temperature. As I'm running a A8N32-SLi this is...

Hi Just a quicky, what exactly denotes a gaming case? I thought it might be the the style i.e. all crazy with molded casing, windows etc but have seen many standard cases still come under this umbrella. Thanks

Well I think I have my answer, thanks guys!! Everythings sat there ready to go, just not enough power! So frustrating to see a 7800GT sat there doing nothing!

After much deliberation, reviews read, posts read etc, I have decided to go for the Enermax EG701AX 600W PSU. Coming in at £25 cheaper than the Seasonic (when including delivery) this seems to makes a sound choice. I'm just after peoples opinions really as to whether it's a good choice? I'll...

Hey Nvidia recommend the Silverstone ST56ZF 560W as one of only a handfull of PSU's that can cope with Dual GeForce 7900 GTX or Dual GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB. Is it really that good a PSU? If So, for the price it can be had it seems like a bargain. Why is it so much cheaper? Can it cope...

Hi Quick Question: As retailers are stopping the sale of 7800GT, should I snap one up now so I can run 7800GT SLi or should I wait till I can afford to run 7900 SLi? Is there a major difference worth waiting for? Cheers Tom

Good calculator! Well I got 548W with a 25% surge so I think I'll go 600W. So will I be buying pretty much the best PSU out there? So many contrasting views!

Evening I'm about to go SLi and will need a new power supply. I will be running the following: Asus A8N32-SLi Opteron 144 @ 3.06Mhz 2 x 7800GT (Will be overclocked slightly) Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3500LL After much research I have decided to go for the FSP Epsilon. As most of my money is...

Ok, well give me a spare 8hrs and I'll give prime a run
