The video card is as loud as the rest of the computer.

I installed Richard Burns Rally last night. That game is HARD!
Turn 1 of my driver's test: rolled it. 3 times. ![]()

Yeah, I yanked the loud fan on my Fire GL X1 and put my own on there...plus my NB didn't have a fan (??!), so I put a 24v fan running on the 12v rail ---- nice and slow. Both CPU fans, the chassis fans, the power supply fans, and the graphics fan are on a fan controller, so I can manually dial the RPMS. On my server at work I placed a 12v 120mm fan on the 5v rail for low-speed action sucking air from the side. It's almost like hearing each individual blade go sweeping by, but not quite. I'm running RAID 0 for video editing, and its a bit faster even though its software RAID. With duals I do have some calc time to spare. I really want a 3-Ware card or something for full hardware RAID, though....
memtest86+ that's the one! Now to mix in some less-geeky stuff, even if it sounds like it: I decided to kick up the gun reinvestment lately, so my computer is not being regularly updated with new hardware ![]()

My brother just bought a Dell :shock:
I am actually surprised that he was able to get such a good deal on a pretty damn good computer.

To echo the title of the thread... Holy Crap! I just started playing HL-2 last night and damn... that is a sweet game. The environment definitely has an eastern-bloc decrepit industrial area feel to it... really well done. I can't wait until I get the gravity gun so I can start throwing garbage at people.

There's nothing like chucking cars at zombies.
![]() And as far as the "feel" of the game... (except for RavenHohm which is scary as hell) I can't get the feeling that I'm walking around in an alien invasion version of 1984 out of my head. Big Brother on the TVs. The proles holed up in their apartments trying to stay out from under the foot of the Overwatch. The constant feeling that there are higher-ups controlling your actions. Fear of the unknown around every corner. HL2 is easily as good as the original was in '98. And IMO it's *the best* FPS in the history of video games. I think I'll end up beating it tonight. Then I'm cranking up the difficulty and looking for codes for all weapons and unlimited ammo and seeing if I can't just blaze through the game a second time. ![]()

For shits and giggles I overclocked my system.
2.2GHz -> 2.4GHz (7% increase) 370/1.0 -> 420/1.1 on the vid card (that's fast than the top of the line GeForce 6800 Ultra!?!) ...and everything seems stable!! :shock:

oH nOs!!!11!1! oVercLockErZ!!!1!!1 Pretty soon we'll be talking about back in the day when you could get a P2 333mhz and clock it to 500+ (week 37). You gonna mount your MB in the freezer and run the cables out for your drives?

Dude, I'm an OCer from way back.
Remember the days of the Celeron 300-A? 450's in disguise! ![]() Or searching for that PII-300 that was made in the Malaysia factory that was really a 450 in disguise? I had one of them running that's been running at 450MHz from 1998 till 2 weaks ago when it was finally replaced by my Athlon 1600. That was a trooper!
