ive bin running my vnf3 for 2 months now. and ilove the performance im getting
amd64 2800+ 1gb stick ddr 3200 corsair. gainward fx 5900. runs fast and smooth.
this is how i like it ..,

can any one sell me on buying the vnf 4 . my only dislike is the pci e cards the fans run in the same
direction . one fan is sucking heat from the card in front of it. smells like voodoo all over . it could be a
problem for over clocking.

Well, if you're satisfied with your current performance, there's no need to upgrade. You'll spend a bunch of money for not a whole heck of a lot of performance increase (unless you go SLI).

The point of SLI is that you won't need to overclock. Look at the scores the dual 6800GTs were getting. Over 100FPS in Far Cry at 1600x1200 with high settings and 4xAA. Thats insane. I do agree that heat might become a problem (especially for cards like the Ultra). I'm kinda curious as to what some companies will do to overcome this.

from. those guys got thier hands full. lol!!!!! the 940 i cant aford the fx cpu chip.
