2 Things, that is the 520 watt PS, I went with the 620 in case I wanted to do SLI, I don't think 520 will be enough for 2 GTSs. The reviews on the 620 Corsair are all 5s too or at least there were, can't beat the warranty on that kind of PS. Secondly I think you will like the board. It got the edito...

31 degrees? Hrm... I put a line of AC just like it said too on the website to cover both cores and it definitely was slippery with the big heat sink. What does your MB usually run at? My processor is usually about 4 degrees cooler than the MB. Thus under load I'm running about 42 degrees and the pro...

Well your board isn't SLI anymore :) I just purchased the Asus P5N-E SLI board with the 650i chipset and I'm very happy with it and I think it will save you about $45. It's kind of picky on the ram but I installed 2GB of the G.Skill PC2-800 and have been rock solid with the only issue being the heat...

Yes Miir I have :) With an OC E6400, 2GB of DDR2-800 and an 8800 GTS I expected much better performance than I'm getting in EQ2. However I will admit that the max textures and HDL looks nice when it works... Still undecided on Vanguard, will probably wait a few months at least. As I said, having a t...

OK... well by scream I mean more than 5fps :) My friend just built a new system (he went by Kashi in EQ) and his is running 40-50 fps, the only difference is he has a GTX and I have a GTS... should make some difference but it should be much better than what I had. Runs Oblivion like a champ... didn'...

Yes that's under SP2 with a GTS remember and a 6400. I suspect with a non OCed 6600 and a GTX you should be around 10,000-12,000. I thought that the only unlocked chip was the extreme edition... going to have to check on that because I would love to just OC the processor and not everything else. Marb

I'm running the 6400 stock with the Zalman, it's about 36-36 degrees most of the time, then about 40 under heavy load. Perhaps I didn't put enough greese but the heatsink (zalman 9700) was sliding all over the place trying to put it in (wasn't going to attempt doing it in the case). My guess is that...

I think you can reset your AA points and move them to either but don't worry about it, just explore Fay and you will get 6-10 pts to put in the new area.

Ok, finally going to upgrade... Looking at the ASUS 650i board, Zalman HS, Intel Core 2 E6400 (will OC), 2GB of Corsiar PC800 and a new PowerSupply as well as a couple of SATA drives. So...
