I am going to upgrade, well actually build another system and then give away my smaller Socket A rig. To heal the soul all I have left is to build things... Nice result btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 EEEEEENGH wrong my ram was ACTUALLY running at DDR533! However, with more cajoling and fussing with the stupidest CMOS jumper setting I've ever encountered, I managed this, with DDR 667...

Sorrento Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 And all that with a tinny x1950XTX??? Tehehe I am building a system around the E6800 and prolly an 8800GTX... I am scared about the power because I have two 8800GTX in mind :tooth: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am scared about the power because I have two 8800GTX in mind :tooth: And it's with a X1900 Yes, it's gonna be gigantic. Most smartest thing you can do if you already have a power supply (like mine) that's ginormous, get a supplemental PSU that's specifically for the video cards, that's what I plan on doing. 300 watts, theyr'e available on newegg. I'll find it again and link ya to it, it's specifically for video cards. I figure if I buy one and use it for one card while my PSU powers my system and the other (when/if I get two 8800GTXs) and they'll handle it.

Sorrento Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 And 300w would be enough for two 8800GTX cards???? :confused: I already have two PSU's on my system... the Epsilon 700w and a smaller Coolmax 400w. One is for main system, HDD's and Video while the other powers the fans, lights, water, CD-Rom, Floppy and the other stuff I forgot. When I tried the Epsilon on its own I felt the system ran out of power... I can only imagine it with two 8800GTX cards :eek2: Hmm, what if instead of the Coolmax I put a GOOD one just for the two video cards... but it would be a mess in balance the Epsilon, or maybe not.

Not even close. 300 watts will suffice for ONE card. That's what I meant. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=4812 I'm getting one. I'm listin' my cards on EBay ASAP. 11200 in 3DMark06 FROM ONE CARD. I'm sold. And this: Other GeForce 8800 series features include 128-bit HDR with 16x anti-aliasing and NVIDIA’s Quantum Physics Engine. ATI's supremacy in the field of visual quality is OVER.
