[MERGED] Your Main PC - Pictures, specs and discussion <IMAGE HEAVY>

thanks guys

aye tx manties....see in the pic where u see the sidefans door open, i have the bottom rear one on the side faced backways,pumping air out :P, at the exhaust of the gfx card, if u put ur hand up to it, u can feel hot air coming out, and that part of the frame of the case is quite warm lmao...the one above is it pumping in on top of the cpu cooler...i tought this would help pump air through the cpu cooler better, RealTemp shows the cpu running @ between 35 & 40 degrees at idle and around 50/55 under 100 load wit everest test

techguy, yes the 9800GX2 is a savage card , on cod4 with max settings and on 1680x1050, your talking about 200fps solid, it goes as far as 500 walking about in some maps, if you set it on 125max fps which your supposed to for some servers, it will never drop, will even sit solid on 150, but 125 is loads,

Crysis, Dosnt get the same kinda fps as cod4 in this lol, With 1680x1050 and everything on very high, your talking about 40-60fps, the first level isnt as good for some reason, get as low as 10, average 15 on it. its poor, (on full settings) Ill have to go play again and check,maybe i could have done with a reboot at the time, because it was running fierce well one night there, hardly ever play it, stuck on a lvl and it pissed me off lol, havnt tryd the multiplayer yet lol

The new GTX280 is supposed to be better, Its only 1 GPU instead of 2, the 9800gx2 even thou its 1 card, it is like sli, u even get that sli kicking in flicker when u go in cod4 (cod4 utalises sli) not many games do i think

If your looking to play crysis smoothly at full spec, i hear this new ati 4870X2 is supposed to run away with it

Cant wait for farcry 2 to come out, its coming out shortly, wonder will it be as greedy as crysis??

It does run fairly hot yes....Youd want fans taking the air out or it would prob heat your case up lmao

Dont take my word for 40-60fps now.... As i said, it goes as low as 10, I changed my hard drive last week so i cant get playing the higher levels i got onto which seemed to run smooth, also the processor i have might be helping me with it running as good as it does for me.....its pretty expensive one, but u might be fine....
Also if im not mistaken, i think you can run the ati cards on nforce board (only 1 at a time, like cant run crossfire/sli wit em), what is your board and we can check

I dont want to put you in the wrond direction...Just tell ya that for how much money i spent on this comp, Crysis dosnt impress me that much still lol, a guy i know over the internet got the 4870x2 and he said it runs crysis soo smooth

What kinda pc is yours anyway, did you build it yourself or is it a dell or sumtin?, Gotta be sure the card will work with it too....origionally i bought the 9800GX2 for my dell dimension 9100....(dell tech said it would work) so i got it and it wouldnt work on it with the power supply its on now in new pc, (one in the 9100 was only 375w)
Thats how i ended up getting broke / building this pc now lol

Maybe ill sell u my gx2 and ill try out a 4870x2:D
by the way, what kind of card are you using at the minute?
