so i collected $800 for insurance and looked into 7800GTX for $850 was expecting it to blow the x800 away but it didnt so i took it back for a full refund and waited and got the X1900xtx

well i just d/l this and will give it a go see what its like.

this man does alot of waiting...

well i just got a good offer on 2 8800GTS so im now SLI.

Im selling my 7950GX2 for 300 dollars to anyone thats interested, thats a firm price.

On another note, say I have a computer thats drawing 450watts, what would I need to put it in the car and have it run?

$300 is a real good price, for sure.

450 watts on a 12 volt system is 37.5 amps.

You'd need a power inverter, like this one:

600w_lge.jpg

LINK HERE

They say 90% max efficiency, so it would draw around 42 amps, and I'm not sure what skyline alternators are rated at.

Not a cheap proposition, but possible.

Probably not a great idea for long periods.

lol yeah.... cost of that?

Hey im running the 8800GTS's in SLI on an Antec 550w Trupower 2.0 PSU...

I think I need to upgrade my PSU as after maybe 40 mins or so of gaming I get a BSOD or on one occasion the power just went out.

Here are my specs:

Antec 900 gaming case 5 fans (1x 200mm exhaust fan, 1x 120mm exhaust fan, 3x 120mm fans)

Thermaltake Blue Orb CPU fan (My water works is in the works)

Core 2 Duo E6600 running at stock speed

Asus P5NSLI motherboard

4GB of DDR2-800 @ 1.8v (The Elixr shit)

Pioneer DVDRW combo drive

LG DVD drive (generic)

2x 250gb 7500rpm Seagate SATA2 drives.

2x MSI 8800GTS OC in SLI

---

Antec True Power 550w PSU (SLI Certified hehe for what). http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=23550

Now, I bought these 2 cards for cheaper than a Ultra and at the resolution I run games at on a WS this card is faster than a 8800 Ultra.

But Ultimately, what PSU would I need. I noticed tangles I think it was is selling his PSU, would that be suitable?

Edited by Pauly33GTS-t

my psu is great

650 up to 700w

plug-in braided lines, quality is right up there IMO

why Im going higher? - well, it has 2 only connectors for 6pin pcie

with my 2900xt's I need 4 connectors for 6pin pcie (and have bought 2x 6pin-8pin converters)

this 650w psu I have worked beautifully with 2x 7800GTX's MSI brand 256b each on full bore

:)

Well tangles, tell me this, would you be confortable powering quad sli 2 7950GX2 with that PSU?

cause the 8800GTS draws the same power if not just a touch more on my card compared the the 7950GX2 and the recomended is 700w for my setup.

I am bidding for an enermax galaxy 1000w on ebay, should be good enough...

lol

why no, no I wouldnt

:)

Id look for a 750w unit like a Thermaltake Toughpower, or even a SuperFlower Aurora 750w

hehehehe :bunny:

all good, got 10 watchers for it on ebay atm

(shamless plug for the winnnnnah)

fark i just read its been measured that my SLI setup draws 340-390watts at full load on 3d mark 06....

and i am using a 550w power supply atm, my graphics are chewing up resources, shit.

Maybe i can use sli in the meantime by powering off a HDD and the optical drives... 4 sticks of ram, a mother board and a 65w E6600 + 390w max f**k too much maths give me a beer.

anyone here MCSA certified ? or CCNA certified ?

i need to do get these certifications for work

Yeah I did CCNA at school for $400, the joys of my school paying for the bulk of it. What do you want to know?

Its a peice of piss and to be honest unless you are working with cisco equipment it really doesn't teach you that much.

well.. f**k me im lacking 300 or so watts... ill have them soon tho... weird thing is its working properly so maybe my PSU has a good source of power and wattage on the 12v rails. wierd.

EA Sports are some of the worst games going around.

If you want a decent soccer game play Winning 11 (Pro evo in australia) and for basketball play the 2K sports games, formally SEGA sports.

Much better than anything EA make.

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
