Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

Yea.....I looked at that thing a few times, i figured thats what it was for, didnt look it up in the manual, i tried to flip it around before i got everything together, but it didnt seem to come out easily, and i didnt wanna break it, it is very fragile. I do notice that it then runs my card at 8x instead of 16x. But thats pry fine, since its just a mainstream card. I might switch it around later and see if it makes a difference.

you have to push down on the little silver tabs on the sides
 
Re-seated my northbridge heatsink, cos I knew from when I first put it on, that my temps hadnt lowered as much as I'd thought. Was expecting a 4C drop, actually got a 10C drop (idle), down to 33C (room temp 22.3C).



When I can be bothered, I'll tape up some of the holes to prevent any air being pulled back in.

EDIT: That is indeed the 70mm fan I ripped off the stock AMD heatsink, and resting on the CD drive is a 12cm blower.
 
well.. SLI does load the CPU a bit,.. i dont think you would notice a speed difference because of the x8/x16 bus speed difference. but im not sure if the CPU gets some extra work now because the motherboard has SLI enabled, because there arnt 2 cards in it. :o


It did up my 3DMark scores about 300 marks, so i guess it was a nice increase in performance. Wasnt noticable to me though, since it plays all my games fine at 1024x768.
