how can I tell which model I have?

[inspector-71]

I recently bought what was advertised as a mach 2 GT with r404 from ebay.

When it arrived it says mach ii on the rear and r134a

At idle I get -48 on the display and -26 in mbm5 (dfi nforce4)

under load of my 3500 winchester at 2.57 with 1.55v on prime 95 this becomes -38 and -5

not looking like a gt?

any other way of telling?

Its ok...mine says R134 and its very very R404..and its a stock unit.

One way to tell if its a GT is the LCD display...basically...the GT has one..the ST doesnt, and your temps sound more or less about right for the load

Yeah sounds like it is a GT - they are all built around a recharged compressor, hence the r134a labelling. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

Did you order a mach2?

My GT says Mach2 GT on the sticker on the back. Of course it could well have been re-gassed to r404 which is the only difference between a mach2 and a GT.

It was sold to me as a GT, which, if it's a regassed mach2, is a bit cheecky.

Does eveyone's mach2 GT have that written on the sticker or has anyone got one like mine

Mine says Mach2GT :S

Not really cheekey as essentially all the other features and components are the same the re-gas from R134 to R404 means you get 5-10 degrees better cooling.

It's no big shakes.

Some peeps could not afford a GT in the beginning (or a standard mach was okay for cooler CPU's) - so get a standard mach and have it regassed at a later date seems like a cost effective solution.

We have seen it here a few times, but now if a re-gas is going to happen, peeps opt for R507.
