It's OK about the PSU, I found a thermaltake 550W which I think would be more than OK. However my initial question remains the same, would the crossfire will perform better than a single 8600 GT in most games (applications)? In other words does crossfire (or SLI) give more than 50% to the...

Hmmm, there is one x1950 pro priced at 120 Euro, but I don't think it's the best option especially since it's not that faster from 8600GT, and since hd 2600 pro crossfire is faster than GTS, for mere 15 more you get something a lot better IMO. Additionally HD 2600 pro x2 score about 7300 on...

I agree, but I can't find x1950 xt for less than 200 Euro here in Greece, so it is out of my league and unfortunately a non-option

Hi, I'm about to buy a new Graphics card. My mobo is a DFI 975x and supports full Crossfire x16 on both channels. According to this review, two hd 2600 pro performs better even from a 8600 gts on most occasions. Considering that I can find two HD2600 pro for 135 Euro, would it make it a better...

OK my specs are right now: vcore: 1.5V vdimm: 2.2V vfsb: +0.3 vmch: +0.3 Mult: 9x FSB: 389MHz (3.5GHz) under burden Temp: 47C (Quite well I think, a lot better than before, that's for sure) I haven't done any stability tests yet and I doubt these will be the final clocks, but I run...

I am sorry, the last time I o/ced was the 300MHz Celeron era. I'm a programmer but I don't have much time to be involved with hardware. I only did now just for the heck of it.

Yeah, that's about how much I spent on my heatsink. I thought that the next range started at 400MHz not 401Mhz, whatever. Thanks for the advice

There was indeed a problem with my heatsink, one of the four legs plastic part is skew, prolly cause of me when I rushed to deattach it from my old board, I somehow put the heatsink a bit better, but I think that I can't put it in the optimal way (any advice on how to repair the skew "leg" would...

Thanks for the advice, although it's far from the first time I've ever mounted a heatsink, but -oh well- mistakes happen when you're impatient to check your new hardware. In fact that was what I was to do next. I hope it'll work

OK, my current specs: vcore -> 1.4785v vdimm -> 2.2v fsb -> +0.3 mch -> +0.2 Mult -> 9x FSB -> 375 MHz Idle Temp -> 64C (150F), Core Temp data I've barely managed to write this, my system is unstable as hell. If I do anything CPU intensive right now, my PC gonna reboot, in fact I'm...

Thanks for the Reply Duvie. The first thing I did was to update to the latest bios. I also tried the 8x multiplier but the results was even worse, the best stable value I could get was 8x 380MHz (about the same as 9x 333). Also my CPU temps go over the top even if I increase vcore by a minimum...

Hi, 4 days ago I bought a new mobo, the Gigabyte DS4, which is about the same as DS3 on overclocking ablilities or a bit better as some people reported. Well before that, I had an MSI p965-Neo-F board which it supposedly sucks for overclocking. Indeed the best I could clock the MSI's FSB was...

I indeed have 8800GTX. Thanks BTW Killer4Hire

At least inform me if DS3 will work fine with my OCZ Gold XTC 6400.... Thanks

Since I'm buying the motherboard in a few hours, I have to bump it (and plead those who can to help the situation)
