    its actually not half as bright in person. i think the camera doesnt do a great job with it.
    even with the flash off its still a lot brghter.

    have to admit, i love the uv city inside it :)

    small update.

    tempssm6.jpg

    here's a shot of some of the temps. havnt got around to playing with it yet, due to work... :(
    but im working on the oc at the moment.

    current 3dmark06 bench results are 12,800 with stock settings on all.
    i reckon i can get the cpu to about 3.4 - 3.6 as temps are currently hitting 35 idle and 47 on load.
    gpu temps are at 38 idle and 49 on load.

    looks promising!

    How good is that GPU cooler? Has it made much of a difference in temps?

    like you wouldnt believe! ive an 80mm fan extracting the air straight from the duorb fan on the gpu.

    with stock fan i was hitting 63 - 65 on load after several hours of madness.
    last night after 4 hours of crysis it was capping around 50.

    havnt seen it tick higher since.
    its also helped lower ambient temps in the case by 2oC! :)

    well worth the 35 euro methinks!

    heh whats that 38mm fan in the foreground?

    btw you could take the shroud off the outer EVGA card and stick a 120mm on it for the time being :p
