I've got two machines here set up to play DOOM with on the home network. One is a A64 and the other is a P4C. So I figured why not go and get an Nvidia card too, that way I can have a real AMD/Nvidia vs Intel/ATI fight :D After all, all of the cards I had left here at the house were still ATI's.

Never EVER place ATI and Intel or AMD and nVidia in the same phrase again! Everybody knows it's ATI/AMD and Intel/nVidia. Come on, people... Intel = PresHOT.... nVidia = GeForce5800 UltraHOT. Are you seeing a pattern yet? =P
 
I would think it's AMD/nVidia. They nForce is for AMD after all. ;)

I've since removed the stock heatspreader over the voltage regulators, and put on my own long RAMsink. It picks up a lot more heat. I also wrote a lengthy review.

ime likeing it. unfortunatly i dont have it right now(i know this sounds weird, but takeing away my computer is my moms defalt punishment for anything. i dont get grounded, i dont have an alawence(i work for all my money), but if i do somthing wrong, my mom takes away the computer. anywhay, imesed up 2 dentist apointments ina row, so i wont be getting it back untll thursday)


anywhay, now that i'v got you laughing at me, i will say that i like the card. i was able to get it fairly far(416/1.12) and i think i may get it higher on the core a little bit, but i love the card. its nice and quiet, and cools well

and how can you not like a 6800 GT?????

and this is so miss spelled b/c i have to type w/ the moniter off half te time b/c she doesnt know i have this computer running for anything other than folding
 
its kinda weird all these people talking about how they "only" have a9800 xt. 2 mo. agao people would have killed for that shit:p. i guess im guilty of it two, as i could have gotten by w/ my "lowly" 9800 pro @ 432/780. still, braking the 10k mark in 3dmark 03 is realy nice :)

I don't have the 9800 Pro anymore (I sold it to a [H] forum member here) but when I used to have it, I could take the core to 460MHZ. For everyday use, however, I preferred 440MHZ with 360MHZ on the memory.

The Koolance block I'm using is the GPU-180. It's really good. It's currently installed on top of my BFG 6800GT and it has allowed me to hit 435MHZ for the core with idle temp of 53-55 C. After running the HDR demo for about an hour, the temp tops off at around 68-69 C.
 
Strange, i just got one(BFG 6800GT OC) a couple days ago (Best Buy Retail- employee $310, heh :p) and the thing has a cooler like that crazy Asus 9800XT pictured above. Furthermore, both fans have blue LED lights that match my case, woot. Just wondering if anyone here has seen/has one of these (besides my coworkers, u know who u are!) Anyways, the copper heatsink and dual fans keep this thing icy even under OCing load. :D

p.s. my first post here on [H], but i've been visiting for quite a while, welcome to me! :D
And i haven't quite figured how to post a pic on this forum. I will asifio, (as soon as i figure it out)

What's "shitty" about an all copper heat sink, half the size of the card, with two fans? :confused:
Click to expand...

nothing, was just messing with you. though i do think bfg is innovative enough to make a new cooler for the nv40 chips rather then use their nv30-35 coolers
 
OK well, I just have to post this.

I threw this together a whiile ago, looking at my Father's old IBM 5150, which i used to play Early Games on, and do most of my schoolwork. We used this machine up until 1995, and my father bought it in 1982.

I just had to post a pic of this baby:

The funny thing about this card is... It was an RMA replacment from PNY (Geforce 4 Ti 4200) and unlike the original retail that broke this one has all copper heatsinks, damn thing weighs a ton! Better then the original :)
 
Got mod?

Sapphire 9800pro, R360 core

The silent 2100rpm sunon is now held on via lexan secured to the 2 holes and memory heatsink instead of the 2 bent-up slot-a fan retnetion wires. Basicly 1.5 GlobalWin Athlon slot-a HSF's went into making that. Sure, it takes up 3 PCI slots, but I don't use any PCI cards anymore ;)

The original write-up & reason for doing. FYI its in a Lian-Li case now, so its running a lot cooler. Also, I do not know whats up with the picture in post #14 lol... Another note, I got some proper springs and nylon washers/bushings (single T-shaped, 2 per spring) that keep the springs perfectly centered and insulated. I might update that thread later...
