6800 Ultra and NV5 questions

Ok, so I suppose my final question is: Does anybody know for sure which online retailers are selling the version that includes the double bracket, or am I just going to have to call around and check? Thanks again guys, Smithers

6800 Ultra and NV5 questions

Yes Martin, that is indeed what I was asking. Creig, I also heard that it came with a replacement, but how does one remove the double wide backplate from the card? I have replaced vid card coolers before, but removing the backplate sounds hard/scary. Does anyone have any links to instructions...

6800 Ultra and NV5 questions

Hey all, got two quick questions. First, I am under the impression that the NV5 works by using the fan to circulate air over the heatsink and then out the back of the case through the supplied brackets. How then does one install with an ultra, as an ultra takes up two pci brackets anyways...

Problems installing some software on K8N Neo2

Hey all, I haven't seen this particular problem posted for this board yet, but forgive me if I missed something. I have an MSI K8N Neo2, a Winchester 3000+, NeoPower PSU, BFG 6800 OC, and a 74 Gig Raptor (hooked up to SATA3). Windows install went just fine, so I began overclocking. I used...

Ritek R03's

Honestly, I think the 03's are good media. I have an NEC 3500 and I believe I have burned nearly 200 of them without problems. That isn't to say I haven't had a single coaster, but I can't recall having one where it wasn't merely the fault of Nero freezing up and refusing to respond. I...

Couple of general questions

Yeah, obviously it wouldn't play as fast as the AMD FX that AT was using, but I didn't think it would make that big of a difference. However, I run the counter strike vid card test (1024, all settings high, AA and AF off) at around 75fps. My friend with a 9800 Pro and a Dell computer runs it...

Couple of general questions

Ok, first question. I am planning on upgrading to a socket 939 A64 CPU, and would like to overclock. I have PC4200 OCZ memory, so it is decent latency but capable of pretty high FSB. Would I have a better chance of getting the 3200 with the 10 multi, or going with the 3000 with the 9 multi...

Best Power Supply on Market?

Question maybe you all can help me with. Everywhere I look, the OCZ's are getting great reviews from people that own them. They certainly cost less than some (PCP&C, Zippy) and put out nice 12V current. However, doesn't the new ATX 12V v2.0 standard say that for large 12V amperage it has...

Getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow...

Quick question about this. I need to get two removed (fairly impacted). Can anyone, preferably multiple people, give me an idea of around how much money getting two cut out with IV sedation should run. I have already gotten a price from one place, but it seemed high, and other places are...

Help with new PSU purchase

Hey all. I am looking for a new PSU for my main rig. I run around 5 HDD's, couple opticals, couple fans, right now running P4 processor @ 3.0 and a 6800 vid card. I have looked at a couple reviews online, but those guys only test for a few hours, where the real mark of a power supply is how...

Need help /w a math problem

I agree, 3 seperate problems. OTOH, what the hell kind of English is "according as?" I would call total shenanigans on the whole problem based merely on that. Smithers
