thespatalian Posted August 3, 2003 Posted August 3, 2003 nice dude, really nice. Do you really need to spen all that cash for a 3.2? I bought a 2.6 a few weeks ago and i've got it to 3.25 easy enough, ran for prime95 for over 10 hours w/ no errors so i'm imagining i can pull a bit more out of it. As far as makers for the 5900, I've heard albatron is good but I know absolutely nothing about those cards, I'll just stick w/ my radeons for the time being. What are your plans for this computer btw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trezu Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Hey.Tx for reply. About that 3.2Ghz -i need rock solid system(ithat why i dont plan heavy OC). What about Gainward FX5900 Ultra256Mb? Im in 2 online games and plan used that mostly for Video Editing and games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespatalian Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 if you aren't doing heavy ocing then why get it watercooled? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 if you aren't doing heavy ocing then why get it watercooled? It's quiet and keeps it running nice and cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newb_ocer Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 (edited) buddy 10 hours of prime 95 is solid enough 3.2 lol Half of your cpu would be idling and wouldnt get used unless your using folding@home.. you wouldnt really need 3.2ghz unless your hard core gfx animation and games these days run fine on 2.5ghz+ even lower then that But if money is not a worry. Then Buy all means dont listen to ous Money Watching people bull gaurding people overclocking's sole purpose is to save hella money and make faster :P/ show off your skills.

thespatalian Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 Dude, a 40$ Zalman 7000 would be just as quiet, and 200 dollars cheaper at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb_ocer Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 what is a zalman 7000? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 which segate drives did you go with? 7200rpm, 10k or 15k? well no matter which way you went, you'll get performance over any ide drive... 320mbps sustained instead of burst rates upto 133. zalman coolers are known to be very quiet, I run one one my opteron 244 and it does a nice job with limitted noise (till my dumb butt changed the fan over to a vantec tornado). you can take a look at thier products here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespatalian Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 www.newegg.com search for zalman 7000 it shoudl be in there somewhere, i'm too lazy right now to find a link. it's a hsf w/ a huge hs and huge f. all copper, very quiet, just an awesome hsf in my opinion.
