Sapphire X1950 Pro AGP is LOUD

[apoppin]

in general

Well, turns out the Sapphire is the loudest thing in the case. Left the lid open after I installed the new PSU so I could easily tell where the noise is coming from. System is not that bad when in 2D, but when that fan kicks into high gear in 3D it is pretty rough, but I maybe spoiled, coming from an aftermarket Zalman CU-700 on my old nvidia. But, I have to admit, I do like how this card performs and down the road it will not be hard to slap in a zalman after I am certain that the card wont die anytime soon.

just make sure you slap a heatsink on the VRM's as well, they get pretty hot on the Sapphire's.

Sometimes I wonder if apoppin has a habit of invoking random facial expressions in real life like he does online. I bet it would be like talking to a spastic, schizophrenic mute with Tourette's.

His "facial expressions" are not random; they are pointing out common paradoxes in a lighthearted way. One of the problems with society is that people tend to make fun of whatever they do not understand. There's no point in adding to the confusion.

 

[Steve]

I think another problem with society is people lacking in their sense of humor, such as it may or may not be.

so your sense of "low humor" - ridicule is OK ..

but *mine* with emoticons are NOT?



hypocrite

 

[Steve]

If you really think I'm out to ridicule, you need thicker skin. And you need to realize that an essential part of a sense of humor is to laugh at yourself, and not take things so personally.

Also, you need to clean the crap out of your sig. We have rig links for a reason.

as i said - you are a total HYPOCRITE ...
apply what you just said above to YOURSELF

... and try editing your rig before you talk BS about my sig
--they are screwed up
:thumbsdown:

Unable to edit system rigs


you aren't capable of effectively ridiculing me

 

[Steve]

Not sure what your problem is, my rig link works fine for me but I'll check that link

Explain to me where in this thread where I got thin-skinned, took things personally and didn't laugh at myself
