    Suggestion for a new air cooler for an 8800 GT

    Ty for that link! :D I think the zalman vf1000 might be the way to go for me. Its a single slot solution and it seems to cool nicely. Im particular about how much space they take up because im using them in sli as well as wanting to make sure the heatsink doesnt hang over the end of my...

    Suggestion for a new air cooler for an 8800 GT

    akimbo is the video card though correct? That looks like something i need but the akimbo is the card itself. The zalman looks like it just covers the gpu itself...id like to include the vram as well. I was looking at a few but man they seem like they take up two slots below the card itself...

    Suggestion for a new air cooler for an 8800 GT

    Basically BFG's new warranty sucks and since i can no longer find my proof of purchase my warranty isnt valid. Even though i bought the card last year and the warranty was lifetime they changed it this year to limited lifetime and required me have a POP. Anyways...my second BFG 8800 GT OC is...

    Any CoD 4 players looking for HC Tactical play style?

    Easier to a point. You still have to worry about other snipers looking for you...people sneeking up behind you and knifing you...using smoke to block the sniper view. You would be surpised though how many people do not snipe for that reason. Now for maps like creek thats a good sniping map...

    Any CoD 4 players looking for HC Tactical play style?

    I never was a fan of the CoD series. I came from a medal of honor spearhead tactical clan...we played with these same rules that the 5307th has on our CoD 4 server. I now cant stop playing CoD 4 because of this tactical style play :) Hope to see you on :)

    Since you missed the post above Its an nforce 4 chipset problem. Its not a video problem. I might have posted it in the wrong forum but moving it to the video forum isnt the right place either. If anything it should be in the motherboards forum.

    Turning it off isnt exactly the solution i was needing nor isnt what should be expected. If you pay for a product that has a certain feature then its expected to work. Disabling it isnt the answer. Fixing it is. However, of course, for now its disabled and has been for a while. Sad the...

    Its a topic of discussion for many of us nforce 4 users. For many of us active armor corrupts downloads of large files and for some P2P programs do not work properly. So unless your an nforce 4 ultra/sli owner and have installed Network Access manager with active armor set to...

    The thread is about active armor and the corruption problems many of us have had. I had a guy i was in contact with that was claiming to fix this...however pretty much after nvidia released the nforce 5 chipset i no longer heard from them.
