ViperJohn Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 I'm wishing I'd gotten two of them cuz one of mine the little speed adjustment thing broke off of. How did that happen and why didn't you just RMA the pump??? Viper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshadow Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 1) Minimize pressure loss. I have a rather large case. (MozartTx)2) The security of knowing if one pump dies, I will still have waterflow in the system. I have a mozart TX as well, along with a storm rev.2 and I am quite happy with just one mcp655 / d5.. The block requires alot of pressure, but the one pump is more than up to the task. Theese are high quality pumps, so I don't think you have much to worry about.

Guest LookBackX2 Posted December 26, 2006 Posted December 26, 2006 Great read so far Charmed. I think I am gonna consider a 8800gts now instead of the used 7900gtx's in SLI I was settled on getting and using the modded sli bios to run them on my board. Do you think the 8800 GTS is a better option than going sli and 7900 series cards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the 8800 GTS is a better option than going sli and 7900 series cards? Two 7900GTX's in an SLI will be faster than a single 8800GTS by a pretty chunky margin if you have the system to support the SLI pair.

CharmedLover84 Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Short answer: Yes, it is. Long answer: You have a 4400+, it's a bottle neck for SLI, regardless of speed. With a 8800GTS or GTX, yer lookin' at nearly twice the power of the SLI power... with no SLI bottleneck. You're going to see NEAR the same numbers you would with a high end SLI pair, with less heat, less power consumption, and better graphics ability (8800GTS can handle 8x or 16x AA, SLIed 7900s have problems with that, I know cuz I had 2 7900GTXs and they hated SLI AA), and directx10 compatibility.

Yeah but how cool would it be to have two super video cards? What processor would'nt be a bottleneck for an sli setup?? and don't you dare say connie! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LookBackX2 Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks guys, looks like it will be the 8800, and maybe a opty 165 upgrade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, who needs sli anywho.. I'l be happy with my rig for quite a while. I might have to upgrade when amd decides to put out a connie spanker, and the r600 lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like to see how well FX-74 pulls the power of the 8800 SLI! (…though I have not overclocked the x6800 yet (waiting for the Vigor Monsoon II delivery), overclocking the cards does not do better…: “DFI Forums - General Discussion - Video Cards - Nvidia - XFX 8800 Factory overclocked") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted December 27, 2006 Posted December 27, 2006 ::big fat eye roll:: It doesn't do no good my butt. OCing my 8800GTX got me extra FPS across the board, in benchmarks as well as FEAR and Oblivion (from 575/1800 to 620/1940) and I ain't even BIOS Modded it yet, which I plan to. Talkin' about 8800GTX in SLI with a Conroe though, that's a whole 'nother ball game. It's two 7800GTX 512MBs and an FX-57 all over again as far as bottleneck goes.
