Got the game yesterday from Best Buy ( about the only thing I get from B B ) And of course it has the SecuRom protection, which I had to bypass as usual. Always a hack to play the game you bought...huh. I have the game all maxed out and getting 60 FPS and temps at 42*C Check out a part of the...

Now, That's a nice board And all the little extras I may just build a third machine this year And it's Rob fault....... ( Chuckle ) Great Preview Merlin

Welcome back..... Of course you missed all the excitement around here...... Merlin

You have me curious, so I got the demo. I must say I'm impressed with the way they all link together from start to finish of a project, yet 1,600.00 USD or 599.00 Upgrade would have to warrant, to what the project would render in profit. I just do a few of my own projects, just for fun, so that...

Great Source Thanks Merlin

Great FSB any pics of the Northbridge passive cooler installed? And the color scheme is still the same ( rainbow ) Merlin

( Old Merlin rubs his head..... ) I meant to say Photoshop Extended instead of extreme ( although it WAS an extreme upgrade price Merlin

When I got the GTX280, I could finally max any graphic settings to MAX, it's just the heat factor. At 70*C ( 158*F ) bothered me, So I got a case with four heat sectors ( Mozart TX ) and added the NV200. Now the CPU runs cooler as well as the GPU. This is my entertainment center for games...

I have had Photoshop since 3.5 and upgraded so far to Photoshop unlimited, that's about as far as I will go Unlimited does everything I need for the time being, I don't think I will be going any higher Merlin

Sorry, that wasn't at idle. Idle is at 34*C Zero frames would be idle, the card shifted to half, thats why only a 4* drop I tested it with the Le Mans race, it's a graphic hell Easily It would hit 70*C on stock cooler and idle around 58*C So the difference now is 34*C and 45*C to 46*C Merlin

I'm very pleased with the temps. Idle temps at 41C* and load at 45C* And upon arrival, I found a surprise gift, a USB drink chiller ( figuring on modding that also ) LOL Shipped as a 6 lb. package, I opened like a child at Xmas. All the goodies that I had hoped. Although very little install...

Download was painless, at 1.2 MB/sec ( server limit ) for a 143 mb program. I'll install later Merlin

I'm pretty happy with my systems as of now. But when the reviews and comments of systems up and running, then I'll consider. This year I built two machines, I use both and have no room for a third. So basically, I'll wait and see. Merlin

Got my new toy today, the GPU cooler from CoolIt As I suspected, the Mozart case is different from most and I had to even mod the cooler. I mounted the cooler on the other side of the motherboard tray, just below the PSU. Temps are great, but I may take off the two small fans and use a 120mm fan...

Finally I put everything into the case today. This case is great for hiding wires I did have to mod the CoolIt Freezone, the case is built a little different than the Armor case. The Freezone mounting was too close to the Northbridge and the CPU Getting better temps on CPU ( 24C, was 28C, idle...

LOL Actually it is quite quiet. I moved everything from the Armor case to the Mozart Monster today. The fans ( 8 right now ) run slower, but move more air. The photos show two bays open for the CoolIt NV200, due to arrive Monday from CoolIt. The guys from CoolIt are great to work with, it's just...

I had to reverse the fan to blow up and out....I dont think you can just reverse the wires even though it is DC....tried it and it didn't work Merlin

Hmm..I could do that to the front of my Cosmos, but the gloss is too nice I don't want to cover that up, maybe the top tray instead. Oh please no! Unless you have one of those pointless I mean super cool aluminum wings on the back of your front wheel drive car. Check it out :o) Merlin

10 not enough? As the case comes with locations for 10 fans, I decided that was not enough. So, I took the 200mm fan off of the Aluminum Armor case and put it in the top of the Mozart Case. Merlin Continuing mods to come

( Standing up from chair ) ( Knuckles on desk, leaning over, gritting teeth ) It's Greed, I tell you, greed And now in the USA, we are paying the loan defaults of those who wanted a bigger house that they could not afford. Merlin
