WintersFury Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Well neither temp is amazingly high. If you plan on OCing the GPU then upgrade that, otherwise I'd leave it as is and save the $ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cull Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Put the money asside for an emergency. Sometimes you make stupid mistakes and ruin your hardware like, me jsut ruined my CPU. Keep it for just such an occasion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzeld Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 with $50 you can get both the VF900 (non-LED) and the VC-RE at jab-tech.com. although you might want to think about saving another $50 and getting a Soundblaster X-Fi or something like that.

t_ski Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Yep, I'd agree that if you had to spend it, buy the Zalman VF900. It's hot in my room right now but my X1900XT is sitting at 41C as we speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaisyo Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Main reason I wanted to upgrade both fans since both is noisy, with new fans, i am kewler with less noise ... all at 41 dollars (taxed n shipped) I order Sunday night ... it shipped on monday .... got it wed after noon ... below is 2 jpeg of being on light load n kewling before n after:rolleyes: I bought the VF700 Alcu (the low end one) and evercool twinkler ... so both gpu n chipset can drop:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_ski Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 Seems fairly good. 9C on the vid card should make a nice difference, and it probably helps keep the chipst down some as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
