| It's OK. Probably better off with an 8800GTS 320MB, though. The BFG was about as much as an 8600GTS.

| The 8600GT OC from BFG is a great little card but too expensive in my opinion. Still a good seller at work though since the 8800GTS is a bit over what people expect to spend on a video card. ALSO, Intel original cooler... You're not on my testament anymore. :P ![]() If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power.

| Yeah, the stock cooler..... Keeps my CPU at 35C idle with CoreTemps, though. Really happy how cool the Core 2 Duo's run compared to my old Pentium D 805. Prolly going to get a Thermaltake V1 or a Zalman 9700 in the future.....

| BTW, the ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard looks WAY cooler in real life than in pics. The copper heatpipes look great. Just saying. ![]() Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 + Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme DFI Blood Iron P35-T2RL + Thermalright HR-05 IFX 2GB G.Skill 800MHz F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB Silverstone Decathlon 650W Western Digital 250GB SATA II | ||||||||||||||

| i would have to agree. it is definitely an impressive looking board with the two big heat pipes and the dual pci express slots. i have the P5N32-E SLI (not sure what the Plus version adds). btw, nice build! ![]() ![]() Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 @ 4.2GHz Asus Striker II Extreme 790i Ultra Corsair Dominator 2GB DDR3-2000 (9-9-9-24-1T) EVGA GTX 280 Tri-SLI Western Digital Velociraptor Asus BC-1205PT Blue Ray Drive Danger Den Torture Rack Custom Black Water Cooling - Dtek Fuzion V2 - D5 - 120.3 - EK Res400 - 1/2" Tygon - Bitspower | ||||||||||||||
