Sup guys,

The 10.6" long gtx260(216) is massive. It makes the 110mm Zalman 9700 look small. The CPU is getting great airflow, the 2 120mm and 80mm fans suck air in from the front of the case acorss the gtx260 and Zalman heatsink and exhaust it out the rear 120mm.

Heres a few pics, I've got some screenshots showing the 120-200fps steady I get in cod4 with all graphics cranked as high as they can go...

For normal 24/7 operation I'm using the below overclock...

CPU Clock: 4512 mhz
CPU FSB: 475 mhz
CPU Multiplier: 9.5x
Memory Bus: 475 mhz
Memory Info: 950 mhz 5-4-4-14 1T
Memory Ratio: 1:1
Rated FSB: 1900 mhz

For max oc benchmarking I'm using the below overclock...

CPU Clock: 4750 mhz
CPU FSB: 500 mhz
CPU Multiplier: 9.5x
Memory Bus: 500 mhz
Memory Info: 1000 mhz 5-4-4-14 2T

Favorite part about this new PC is that I only spent $550 total for all of the "(new)" items saving almost $400+ compared to buying new, gotta love having a good connection

Very nice. If you're getting 180, you should be maxing that sucker. AA all the way up and detail as high as possible .

 

[Ph?bus]

Seriously. Max that foo!
And how is that 120Hz display? I get tired of people saying there is no visible difference in 60Hz vs 120Hz. Just because your rig can't crank out more than 60fps doesn't mean there isn't a difference.

I never really believed that either.

Way back when, with my CRT I could tell a difference between 60 and 75.

My bro's monitor can do 75Hz and I could tell the difference. It was very slight, but I could tell the difference.

Let's start with math.
4/3 = 1.33
1024/768 = 1.33
1280/960 = 1.33
1600/1200 = 1.33
2048/1536 = 1.33
1280/1024 = 1.25
(x? + y?)? = 20. This is a known triangle, 3-4-5. So divide 20 by 5 and you get 4 multiply x and y by 4. 20" viewable means 16" x 12". If it's a 22 or 23" NEC the viewable area is still 20". Those are marketting numbers.
16/12 = 1.33

There are several dominating aspect ratios in the world today. 5:4 is not one of them. That is why I hate 17" and 19" LCDs and have an aneurysm any time someone uses it on a CRT. No CRT ever was made for that resolution 2.35:1 is for movies
1.85:1 is for movies
16:9 is for HD movies and also is the HD standard television resolution
16:10 is for wide computer monitors but easily supports 16:9.
4:3 has been around forever and most video you find is this
5:4 is nearly a box.
