In the hope to o/c my E8400 some more (4.4Ghz+ air cooled), I've upgrade my heatsink (Xigmatek HDT-S1283) and case to a full tower (CoolerMaster HAF 932). The case is awesome...it has 3x23cm fans (or supports 7x12cm) + 14cm rear exhaust, also, for when I try my hand at water cooling latter down the track it can support 2 PSU's and 3 fan radiator + 2 fan rad + 1 fan rad = :P:D

hahah awesome Patrick I've been thinking about a 4850 gfx card cause its mid rang bang for buck and i dont have a good enough CPU to even make full use of its power but I'm sure its better than a x1900xtx

thats why u have 2 8600's like me xD

I had 8600gts. not bad.

but the new 9800gt runs cod4 perfect. everything high. high res too.

crysis runs smooth too on high. very happy. and it doesnt cost the world either.

I'd doubt they'd release it mid-year....if they were smart it will most likely be closer to the Xmas season plus will give more opportunity for other programmers to make their software compatible.

Yeah I'll prob try it out...good thing Vista has disk-part otherwise loading this for a tri-boot would be a pain.

first impressions of win 7...

u cant set the start menu to the old skool style... have to use the homosexual spec new one. and the aero shake thing is pretty cool.

other than that it seems to me that they have made vista, more "vista" does not wanna let u think for urself

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
