Bleh.. Energy bills $120 again this month. I'm approximating about $35 per rig a month. Then there's house heater (gas) price too. I might have to turn off my C2D for the night or what not. Can't afford to continue paying these prices since parents are complaining.  Going to get a more efficient PSU for my Quad too. The current one is only 70% efficient; getting a 85% Antec one. Yep, and the more you use the more expensive it gets with PG&E. I calculated $30/month/machine over 5 quads, 4 duo's and a lamer single. But you may be right at $35 as I have other large loads like the pond and waterfall pumps. Hard to figure. Working for good things is not without sacrafice. (Remind me of what I just said when I get my next bill  ) I had to cut back I'm trying to hang on until I have to shut down for the sumer heat.  Our US economy is not helping either.  Hehe. I'm taking AP Econ. And that reminds me... I have to pay for AP Tests soon. I decide to go buy a power supply that's more efficient for $35. It's been on sale for that price for weeks now, so I go to the website and guess what. It's back to $50.. Yeah, my plan is "run what i brung" until it gets too hot, then I'm afraid almost everything is getting shutdown... unless I get that new PC like I've been planning - if so, it's liquid cooled, so I can't imagine that would affect the air temps in my room nearly as much as an air cooled machine, would it? What's your room temperature? |

Final Results Team Name_____Current Score_____"MOTified"_____"Christianized" Christians 7,161,621 6,021,491 7,161,621"MOTified" = actual * 0.84080 "Christianized" = actual * 1.18934 Well MOT it was a quiet challenge this time but don't count us out just yet in that dept.  We do actually talk!We'll meet again in future challenges   We've had some technical difficulties during the challenge.. But either way, we all win. |

What's your room temperature? about 55-60 tops in winter hopefully less than 70 in summer? |

What's your room temperature? about 55-60 tops in winter hopefully less than 70 in summer? My E6600 with a 50% overclock stays 50 C under crunching full load with a room temperature of 61-71 F. All fans on low on AIR cooling. I'm telling you water cooling is overkill since you're not overclocking. I have a Quad Core using the stock Intel cooling. Cores at 50-57C under crunching load. Not overclocked. Max temps for a G0 stepping quad is 71C. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 4, 2008 7:09:15 AM] |

I'm now debating over 6600 or 6700. The 6700 is $260 more and is 2.66 ghz vs the 6600 at 2.4 ghz. My thought is that I can EASILY get the 6700 to 3 ghz. Although, if they both can hit the 3ghz mark, then I really don't care and I guess I should get the 6600 and spend the extra cash on WATER COOLING! |

Another question: I recently bought an Nvidia 8600 GTS from BFG TECH to replace my 6800 GT in my alienware. Would it be smart to buy another 8600 GTS from BFG TECH and run them in SLI mode in my new computer (I can put that 6800 back in my alienware)? Will I see solid performance? Is the rule that SLI doubles the performance of one card? |

Trust me here. You can get 3.0 GHz in one go. 3.2-3.4 by taking some time. 3.6 GHz if you put forth the effort. If you're lucky and you have a good chip, higher. I'm telling you the manufactured watercooling isn't good. You have to make your own for performance. Can you give me more info on that water system you're purchasing? |

Is the rule that SLI doubles the performance of one card? 8800 GT > 2 8600 GTS Why? Graphic power and energy consumption. SLI does not double the performance. You get 30-40% of the performance. |
