LOL! Totally forgot my PSU in that list didn't I? LOLZ.

SILVERSTONE 750W Power Supply w/ Triple 12v rails.

Temps on the 8800s are, well, I don't really know. I relayed mine through my cooling system, took off stock. From what I can tell, they are teh same though as my old 7900GTs. Couldn't tell you for certain though. I never really had them installed with stock coolers. My temps right now are 19C idle, 29C full load, so a 10c increase from idle to load. Not too bad if I do say so.

Jesus, what are your ambient (average home temperatures)?! At 19C you must have one hellaciously low ambient.

Actually, that is the strange thing with liquid/electrothermal cooling solutions. Ambient is usually higher. My ambient is about 20-21c.

WHY do you have 1.5 gigs of RAM? You are NOT under any circumstance supposed to have differently sized RAM modules in the same machine. You can have 2 slots with 1 GB each, 2 slots with 512MB each, but never 1GB and 512MB at the same time. Your computer might report that it has 1.5GB of RAM, but it doesn't really work out that way in the end.

Everyone who is doing this should stop.

learn the facts before showing the world your ignorance.

i have 2 pc and the ONLY time you need 2 matched pair is running in dual channel mode. and i have 4 slots with 512 in all 4 not just 2.

the other has 512+256 and is confirmed as 3/4 gig of functioning memory and the MB manual supports it as well.

regular mode you can mix and match as you want.

Quote:

from my Asus motherboard manual on ram

you may install 256, 512, and 1 gig modules up to a 4 gig total.

dual channel must be matched pairs not (on this board) to exceed 2 gig in dual channel mode
