Re: MY MoBo Died or I Killed it
The fan count has got up to six including graphics and CPU.. To answer Celestas question.. My rig plays games beautifully and was designed to do so (by me ) the reason I have plenty of heat is because I'm running a 3.2GHz chip which are like little fan heaters! The thing is though not only does the chip run very warm but the northbridge does too but then again with 3.2GHz of information being funneled through it I'm not really surprised. Adding to all this heat is also the graphics card, an 8800 GTS 320, which is huge but runs fantastic (and one of the best cards I've ever owned)..
Addicted to speed you say... Hmmm well I chose the chip for power and longevity, even now it's still faster than many of the latest quad core offerings by AMD and I don't need to upgrade until the 45nm node.. Again same for the graphics although in a perfect world it could do with a tad more memory...
Just my 2cents...
