Do you find it worth that car to have PhysX? I have an 8800GTS, but haven't found a PhysX game worth it yet...

Click to expand...

It's the energy efficent model so it's doesn't draw a lot of power, doesn't run hot and is silent and I got it for £50 so I can't complain.

Metro 2033, Batman AA, Mafia 2....there's quite a few games I play that use it :)
 
In preparation for Skyrim, I reinstalled Oblivion. The game still looks superb, with the right mods, even by today's standards. I finally figured out how to use Qarl's, so building textures are nicely bump mapped :)

She's like 99% done :D

Things to finish are :

- Sleeve the HDD and Power cables.
- Buy more screws for the radiator fans as they only have 2 screws in.
- Maybe some more UV cathodes

Excuse the picture quality, my phones camera is not very good....
 
you shouldnt really as the heat from the cpu + gpu isnt being dumped into the case like it is with air
I think they are just going to create noise and suck in dust (they look nice though ;))
 
Hey davros, There's 10 fans in my system and the reason for that many is pretty simple.....NOISE.

My fans have 61cfm of air flow at 20dBA at 12 volts which is quite audible so I run them at 6 volts which makes them completely silent but halves the air flow. So I run twice as many fans to make up for the cfm I lost by running the fans at half speed. It also eliminates dead spots ( Parts of the case with no air flow ) because the fans are spread out more :)

And they just look pretty :p

10 fans at 30cfm gives the same cooling results as 5 fans at full speed but without the noise.
 
Now back on that theme of computer photos...I realize it's not water-cooled (gave that up in 2006 when I came home to a burnt-out pump, but at least the computer had shut down gracefully), but this is my new upgrade and it's very sweet indeed.

The Asus Sabertooth 67 is a bit gimmicky in that it has a piece of plastic covering the motherboard, but there's a 50 mm fan (not included) pushing positive pressure under the plate and my hope is fewer dust bunnies. So far it's a great board having no problems pushing the i7-2600k and 16 Gigs of Gskill to 4.4 GHz (the memory is running stock 1600 though).

The top CrossfireX card is a real (HIS) 6970 and the lower one is a flashed (Vistontek) 6950. believe it or not this rig with no water-cooling is actually very quiet thanks to having very large fans (Coolermaster HAF case).

Now I just want two more Dell 2405 monitors so I can run three in portrait mode on eyefinity...alas I think I've pushed my toy limit to the edge for now... :(
 
And now a few screens from Fakefactory's Cinematic Mod of HL2 from that rig at 8x SSAA and 16x AF (forced) with all options maxed:
