    It may be upgrade time again

    Hey Starbuck, I've got a similar computer (X2 3600+, 2GB DDR2, XFX 7900GT, WD Caviar SE16 250GB) and I get great FPS at 1280x1024 as long as shadow maps and post processing is turned off. Post processing is like the HDR stuff, which I think is overrated anyway, and no shadow maps eliminates some...

    Unofficial 8800GTS Overclock thread

    My card did max out at 695/1100 and was perfectly stable for all my games (CS:S, R6Vegas, CoD2, and even 3DMarks06) but Bioshock changed that. Only 695/900 is stable for Bioshock for some reason. Anyway temps are good, and I've never seen them go above 65C (cooling is stock, but I removed the...

    Thermalright V1-Ultra

    I have one on my 6600GT. Stock ran 90C, Zalman VF700 ran 65C, and the Thermalright V1-Ultra barely breaks 50C (load temps). It's a b!tch to install, but just be patient and line everything up and you'll get great temps.

    EnzoTech Ultra-X - no Payola, No Review?

    Why do you post such childish things? I think Spanki has some very good points and you reply by insulting his name? Grow up kid it's a CPU heatsink! That being said, I too would like to see an Anandtech review of the Ultra-X and the TR SI-128 since both have very similar designs (8mm...

    Thermalright Extreme

    Yea it's a huge consipracy :roll: What have you got against Thermalright? The make great products. And while universal mounts may work universally, I find they aren't as effective as more specialized ones.

    Thermalright Extreme

    I think s939 is dead mostly because there are no more s939 chips being made right? And like i said earlier, TR used to not include S775 mounting which required a kit, but really it's no big deal. You've got an older system now as far as sockets go (I too have a s939 X2), why would TR waste the...

    Thermalright Extreme

    s939 is dead, and if you don't remember, back when XP90, XP120, SI120 were king, if you had a s775 Intel board you had to buy a "kit" too. I don't think it's a big deal. The kit is cheap anyway.

    Switched to C2D...

    Looking at that 3D Marks page you linked, it looks like you're running your RAM in single channel mode (instead of dual channel) which will hurt your score.
