5900XT worries

Two days with a jet-engine-loud Enhance, but no warnings--time to shop .

Just ordered that cooler for my 5900XT, thanks Zap. I had been looking at it when it was $11.99, this just sealed the deal. I think that it is a fine card too, and it even handles FEAR at decent settings in my secondary rig.

You're welcome. I also have played FEAR on my 5900XT, as well as Quake 4, BF2, COD2. Works fine in a multiplayer environment for me. I haven't played any of those games single player.

Circuit City has the Antec TruePower II 480W for $50 after rebate, also available on their web site with free shipping. Today may be the last day... don't remember if it was a regular sale or a weekend only sale.... nevermind, just checked web site and sale is over. Still has TWO rebates, but now $70 AR.

If you don't want rebates, Fortron FSP400-60GLN is available for $51 plus shipping at Ewiz. Silent PC Review looked at the unit.

Anyways, glad it was such an easy problem to solve.

It's got to be worth at least...

I took out a rosewill 450W by swapping in a 5900XT where I had a ti4200 before, I forgot to mention that
