it sux.. see dis
shit.. dont know y :S:S:S

Dude I'm worried have you mounted your HSF properly? Because recently after my upgrade I had to do this again and I felt it was damn difficult the second time around!!!

bt 9600 is faster dan 8800 right? or not?

I don't see the confusion here..
I said 9600GT uses less power because it is slower than 8800GT. (you can't compare 9600 and 8800 families...you can only compare two MODELs....eg: 8800GS is usually slower than the 9600GT, but 8800GT is faster...old 8800GTS is somewhat identical in performance...but new 8800GTS is way faster!)

yaaa i think i have to try doing it again...
coz da 1st tym also it was kinda hard 2 attch it...
some tyms dat must be coz of dust and everythin neda?
if dat didnt work will have 2 buy a good fan or a good cooling system.. or my machine is done

mine is 7600gd

GT you mean?

If you have not overclocked, 1.35V is WAY TOO MUCH FOR YOU CPU! I think even 1.2V is too much, but not sure about it. You have test it. I suggest you manually set the Vcore in BIOS to about 1.25V at first and run Multithreaded Prime95's small fft test (1st test) for couple of hours. If it doesn't fail, reduce the Vcore a little bit more....I am running my age old E6300 at 1.16V and 2.8GHz and I don't see why yours can't. Voltage has an exponential relationship with power consumption (hence power dissipation) and 1.2V will lower power consumtion by ~20%. But you need to test it!

Note: When you set Vcore at AUTO and if you are running the CPU at stock speeds, BIOS will always set the Vcore to VID value. Yours it is 1.35V.

ya ya ya.. remeber those days wen i was tring to OC my pc i was reading all about those things (bt couldnt OC coz of dat heat prob, was kinda scared) bt ya.. wat ur saying is right.. i have to see about reduicng my vcore.. i saw it's set to 1.35 by default.. and will try runnig prime95
bt do i have to use da 1st optoin in prime95?? not da 3rd option da? which is blend ?

You are only checking the CPU. So do the first test. It only stresses the CPU.

ahh ic.. k will chk and tell brb

Geez! Don't you read the TOPIC?!

else how would I ask da most craziest question?

yeap it shows how GTX280 sux and HD 4870 rocks

I thought you didn't care about power consumption
