thanks man. It is soooo much fun being a sysadmin, so much fun stuff to do..
You are god of the users. You can make the users or break them lol.Especially if they **** you off,, so many things you can do to get even.
This prometeia is very quiet. It sounds exactly like a small bar fridge. It can make a little noise when it turns up full speed if you are maxing it out, but that usually doesnt happen. My power supply fan is louder than this thing,,, but seeing how i have a 1kw psu, that doesnt say much lol. the graphics cards are louder than it too when they spin up, they have stock fans.
with the x6800 oced to 4.2, this thing stayed at least negative 40*C. With the quad core,, twice as much heat and if i am running a cpu bench it dips down into the negative 20 and 15s, and when it does that, i can hear the pipes in it whistling at me lol. I updated the firmware on it last night, and realized that the fans have only been runing at 60%, so i shouldnt have a problem anymore.
This thing is 300mhz slower stock, so that also makes sense why i cant oc it as high. I posted at 4ghz at 1.7 volts, but it dies in the middle of test 1. I raised it to 1.75 volts, same thing lol. So i will adjust the fsb tonight to get some more performance out of it and try to get it around 3.9 and see how it does. .
I was going to wait for the r600 to come out, but i am tired of waiting and tired of it getting pushed back. I am sure once they come out, they will slightly beat the 8800gtx's...
I hate the new nvidia control panel so much... HATE HATE HATE
