You said you got an exclamation point when you passed 1100 some-odd Mhz on the slider... it sounded like you had. I really wish that they would list the true speed of the ram on video cards as well as the effective clockspeed rather than the effective clocks. You'd be surprised how many people...

DDR man, it's DDR just like your ram. 950Mhz in real speed or 1900Mhz effective. I'm surprised you haven't fubared your card trying to push it that far outta spec.

She's got a pretty voice although it's not what I'd consider my type of music.

Antec's are basically the exception to the rule on 80mm fanned PSU's because they put in slower lower flowing 80mm fans than 99% of the other MFG's out there. The trade off is that the PSU tends to run hotter and as a result the life expectancy is lower than competing 80mm fanned units. The...

The cooling on a single 120mm+ fan PSU versus either a single 80mm or dual 80mm fan cooled PSU is going to slightly worse as the air has to turn 90 degrees in the PSU rather than flow in a laminar fashion (straight line) so there are dead areas but those are more apparent at high temps such as...

Where did you read about modular PSU's? PC Power & Cooling's website with the FUD they disseminate like perverts handing out candy to children? It's all BS, at worst you'll lose less than a tenth of a watt at normal PC loads to a modular interface and maybe half a watt under full load. It's...

That PSU isn't worth the cost. You don't need more than 500W for that system even with SLI 8800GT's so why pay $200 (or whatever the combo deal is, maybe $30 off?) for a mediocre 800W PSU when you can get a really good 500W+ for under $100? If modular is important to you look into the HX520W by...

Might I suggest the Corsair VX550W? It's more than sufficient.

Not so much a bad taste as a lesson learned. The integrity of the data on a RAID -0 stripe is only as secure as the drives holding it and unlike a normal situation where you use two drives singly, where you only lose the data on the one drive when it dies, you lose all the data on your stripe...

5 Years ago I had a pair of WD 120gig SATA drives in a -0 stripe and it broke (one of the drives failed) and I lost all my data. Stuff that I didn't have backed up and was impossible to replace so I'm not a huge fan. If the SLI memory is the same or near the same cost I'd say get it, it will...

Is water cooling necessary? In my mind it's absolutely crucial because it's ten times more efficient than air. Is RAID necessary? Not really and unless you go with redundant RAID it's risky as hell. Do I run RAID, yes I have a 1TB RAID -0 stripe but I don't keep anything that I'll miss...

Gotcha. I think the 1200 would lend itself well to water cooling if you put a Thermochill PA160 in the spot that the 200mm fan resides in so there's that for future consideration.

Not going for water cooling? Just because he said so? That's sad. Pitiful and sad.

You do know I was kidding about you being a fascist I hope...

Stay away from water cooling? You're a fascist aren't you? "You've got to start somewhere" and "there's no time like the present" are two of my favorite sayings and in this case they're both true. But, you need to do your homework first. Don't just blindly jump in feet first. Go read...

No, food coloring will separate out and clog your blocks/rad(s). You can buy purpose made water dye for water cooling but I dunno where off the top of my head.

<strong>Overall, you scored as follows:</strong></p> <p align="center"><strong><font color="#00cc00">40</font></strong>% scored higher (more nerdy),<br> <strong><font color="#000000">1</font></strong>% scored the same, and <br> <strong><font color="#0000cc">59</font></strong>% scored...

I'd look into another PSU. The RX and RT series aren't bad but the Stallion series is OEM'd by Deer which is bad, very bad.

That number doesn't jibe with what I'm finding at the 'egg, care to find a linky?
