about to add another GXT480

mrh2019 · 21 Oct 2010 at 22:00

Hi all, I’m about to add a second water-cooled GTX480 to my system, but I would like to know what distance connector to get between the two water blocks, is it a 1 or 2 gap I need??
Thanks in advance.

They do. look in clearance. There is more watercooled stuff in there than in the main section

The gap depends on the motherboard you are using

Is your Sig up to date then?
Is the motherboard in your sig the one you are going to add the second card to?
Do you only have the one rig & is this shown in the Sig?

and will no doubt perform around 10% better than a 480

or exactly the same if you clock it...

he has 3d vision, so the requirement for sli is justifiable.

Feser also make a 1/2/3 Slot Pack that will do all three positions.
OcUK do not sell these unfortunately but google is your friend

Have one more Acer GD245HQ to get

Nice! I've got the 2233 Samsung, I can imagine Trine in 3d surround being pretty awesome. If you haven't tried it already should try (physics based puzzle). Got any recommendations?

I had one of those Samsung monitors, good monitor!!! but if you can afford it and your graphics card and handle the resolution, get an Acer, Alienware or the new Asus you will be stunned at the difference..

I play a lot of lord of the rings online, looks really good, even though its not profile supported by Nvidia.
All the resent Tomb Raider games look very good, again if your graphics card can run it Metro 2033 is worth a look and the new F1 2010 game is nice.

I must admit I find strange gaming games in 2D now
