Hey there guys. Thinking of upgrading my Graphics Card fairly soon to give me a bit of a boost. my question is, what kind of graphics power would it take to make my AMD Phenom II 955 @ 3.4 the bottle neck? Thinking about maybe upgrading to a GTX 570. Thanks in advance guys.

Ok guys. First of all I am very sorry for posting so many topics, but you guys really know your stuff and I like to run things past you I was planning on using an 800d but it appears to be untidy for water cooling loops, only got room for 360 rad which isn't a lot considering the size. So...

Hi there OC'ers just wondering if you could answer me this. is a 360 rad enough to cool lets say, an i7 905 and a GTX 570 or 580? Many thanks

Hey there guys. I am about to start my journey into water cooling and will be putting my fully custom loop into an Corsair 800d. Now my question to you is. where should I put radiators and pumps etc? My thought so far are; 360 rad in the top. drive bay res in the drive bays (DURH!!!)...

Hi there guys, I am planning my next build for sometime in the next 6 months. None of the parts are finalised yet but it will be high end e.g i7 950 , gtx 570/580 (maybe SLI). anyway you get the point. But the thing I really can decide on is the case, for a long time I was looking at the...

Ok guys, I was posed a situation the other day and It intrigued me because I couldn't answer it. I and using a Asus Crosshair III Formula and I am running two 4890's in crossfire If I was to use an Nvidia card, could I have just a single 570 or 580 or something?? Regards, Boombstick!

Hi everyone, been watching the overclock3d vids for a pretty long time so thought I would show my face here. Been a fan of computer building and modding for all of my life and life hanging around the scene. My current rig is an ATI AMD heavy gaming machine but am always looking to upgrade and...
