I haven't gotten 3dmark to run; every time it gets to the 4th test the program just exits So no matter what you'll have a higher score!

no my comp doesn't shut down or BSOD (I've finally gotten it stable), 3dMark just exits.

then i can't help ya :S

so what about that cooling? how many fans do u need to cool that baby, my setup will be close to what you have but more beefed up for gaming. 8800GTX beef. what's your idle / load temp? =] and once again how many fans lolz

Well first, lemme say the 8800GTX wouldn't fit in my case, my X1900XTX barely does...

Back to your question, I've got the NZXT lexa which has a 120mm fan on the window, 120mm fan on the back, 120mm aimed at the HDDs and an 80mm on the top. With all my specs my proc idles at 34 degrees, gfx at 35 and case around 24. After a couple hours of CoD2 or NFSC im running: proc-44, gfx- 56, case-32.

Hope that helps.

Yay!
But I just found out I won't be able to get the GTS for christmas

[Ronyx]

ouch :S

I hope i get good cooling with only a 120mm in the front, 120mm in the back and an adapted 120mm side window one. I do however have mesh on top of the case. Check out the Raidmax Sirius case to see what i'm talking about. It's a design cut out and then fitted with mesh. That should help cooling. Also i think your high temps are a result of lack of space in your case? Am i wrong?

[Indybird]

Do you really think my temps are bad?

Oh and I checked out the Raidmax Sirius, that oughta be real good for you, please show us your minor case mods you'll be making!

I just e-mailed them my invoice from Newegg. I'm not going to be able to use this computer while I send the card to them and wait the new one
