Was just saying the EVO pro is $40 more for around same size; only difference is the pro will preserve data for 60-70 years vs 17-20 for the standard EVO.

I'm free tomorrow if you wanna tackle it then?

From what I'm reading on forums, most issues with MSY surround customer service in initial sales at particular outlets, i.e. usually noobs not having a clue what they are buying and walking in looking for the Harvey Norman experience. It's just an in and out parts supplier and that's why they are cheaper than anyone else / popular with a lot of computer techs.

There have been issues with warranty dealings in the past, but the ACCC cracked down on them hard and fined them big for it a few years ago.

I can't speak from much from personal experience...it wouldn't matter anyway, cause everyone seems to have their own good or bad story and it seems to differ from store to store...but the guy I dealt with yesterday was pretty friendly, even carried some stuff out to my car for me. And that's how I like to shop...no fuss, no upselling or anything...just go in there knowing what you want and come out with it.

ive had no issues with bootup and have tried 50+ games :P

main issues are SLI/Crossfire as there is alot of games that dont support it.. like the new need for speed for instance

You say that but ive never had a problem with sli?? not once :)

Unr33l: those are some impressive scores for single card, nearly as much as my gtx 680 sli!???

PC built! Fk it's quick to assemble them these days. Everything so modular and easy. Windows installation / boot up on SSD is a joke too. Thanks to Leigh for helping me with it!

No worries brah! half of it was already build don't forget!

Now to wore up the peripherals and get dat 3dmark score.

Yeah run 3dmark 11 it's what most people use, my guess is around 11,000 ish given your GPU not quite as good as what I had in it :P CPU / physics will be practically the same just the graphics score will change a bit.

dat gigabyte windforce, good looking card - still love my reference card 'geforce gtx' glow though :D

no problems, just a lot of games dont utilise both cards. When I was running SLI downloaded some tool that optomises it (and had some effect on games that didnt use it)

well.. tried to run 3dmark last night but couldent :(.. cpu was overheating, so this arvo got some beers and set too.. cleaned everything, the rad was blocked BAD lol. and applied new thermal paste to the cpu die and the ihs, has been 5 months since i de-lidded it..

EDIT: just made some more points

Recently got a MSI Twin Frozr R9 280X but I think my 955 is now a bottleneck :(

Though the cooler/fans for the graphics card are brilliant and now have removed the 2x12cm fans I had on the side panel so the whole system is quieter now.

nice score mate! those asus cards are very nice heard many good things - what was your cpu at in that run? and what cooler you usinig? h110 or something it looks like? post up a link to the 3dmark result so we can browse through the info :) keen to see what I could get my 780ti in graphics score but don't want to go too hard :P I'm just running a modest overclock right now

not very much info on that page... cheers mate, cpu is at 4.8ghz at 1.42v.. the cooler is a thermaltake water 2.0 extreme pretty much exactly the same as the h110.. the software even looks the same..

be mean to it hahaha

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
