Same deal with my previous 8800GTS and the blower design; almost 60C in idle, 70C-80C under load.

This one idles at or under 45C and climbs to 60C-65C under load. Quite the difference.

*Oh and that's with the fan fixed at 50%. I imagine if I allowed it to auto-control, it wouldn't even get above 60C.

Yeh, I grabbed the old 8800GT and had a ''What the...'' holding it next to the HD5850

I'll bet.

Need a bigger case. Cable management is... well, non-existent.

Not true, I can see you've managed to get some cables in there

.

Could do with a vacuum cleaner to get rid of the dust though, or is that just a 'weathered' look

Well, your design indeed sucked and where forced to by that Fan mod.

that Fan mod of yours looks awesome thought and seems to be able to keep it cool, hope it works as good as it looks.

Yeah should give it another dusting. I did check when I put in the card if anything was blocked, but all the grills and sinks are clear, so airflow should be fine.

The case is the one thing I "saved money" on when I build it. Should move to a larger case, but this one is the perfect height to put my legs up.

Temps on everything are fine. Not exactly looking forward to stripping and rebuilding the whole thing again either.

Oh sorry, I was thinking of the Momo?

Until a year or so I was driving GTR2 in Gamers-Crib and was sooo close to start a career in the North American Grand Prix ALMS serie, when the old leg forced me to retire...

antikristuseke · 09-11-10, 01:14 PM

Oh,mostly played GT Legends and GTR2 with the Power and Glory mod

Bump to the thread

Just a quick picture of my current setup, with my newer gaming PC on the left and my old media (i.e. everything else) PC on the right. The division of duties helps keep things more stable on both ends, although as you can probably see in the picture the older system has quite a cooling problem and took more than a day's worth of maintenance in the last week to get back up and running after suffering several hardware/software issues. I plan to keep it running as soon as I can - it's just too nice to be able to optimize systems for different things, especially when neither is a real beast of power.

And the laptop is mostly something that goes to work with me, while at home it serves as my digital kneeboard when flight simming. Very handy

If you're wondering what all the clutter under the monitors is, that's mostly airplane and tank models, along with other trinkets and souvenirs. And yes, that is a 1/144 U-552 toy with open interior - nice little window dressing
