Re: New PC what do you guys think

Looks nice, and you are upgrading from an 86 to a 98 thats good imo. CoD4 and FFoW will run great, crysis on high i know that cus my rig runs it on high.

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Yeah I know that I wouldn't run Crysis Perfectly lol I just CBF typing so xD

Um... what 3D mark score should I expect to get and my mobo is the 780i not 790i cause its the formula

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Get Vista so you can have DX10... otherwise you aren't getting full use out of that 9800.

Re: New PC what do you guys think

I have it not getting Vista till I get a second HDD and Dual Boot Vista is still terrible in my eyes

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Oh alright. just wondering, anyways buddy all in all the PC is great, i know that crysis should run on all high (not highest) with that system, it does on mines and i don't have vista.

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Hey Guys I have decided that I want to do a little mod it has been done before its so you can turn you Power supply upside down so the fan pushes the air out of the case(Antec 900) instead of onto the motherboard can anybody tell me if this is a good idea and if so what tool should I use
Here is an Image of what I mean:

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Well, you need to make sure the case is off the ground enough for air to be sucked it.

And, yes, the big 120mm fan sucks air in, not out.

You would have to mount some feet for the Antec 900 so it has clearance off the ground and then maybe use a dremel or some kind of rotary saw.

Re: New PC what do you guys think

ohhh... well forget that then I thought it blows out the air XD never really taken notice might do it later if overheating occurs.

Also anyone know if that power supply would handle SLi(2x 9800GTX)

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Probably not enough power on the rails.

Re: New PC what do you guys think

Damn. I guess I'll upgrade it later

Re: New PC what do you guys think

I think its a 800W PSU limit to SLI i remember hearing that somewhere.

Re: New PC what do you guys think

The overall wattage doesn't matter too much, it's the amps on 12v rail (i think that's right? Correct me if it's not).

Bad PSU's don't provide enough power usually.
