    Thermaltake?.. Eh no.

    Swiftech H20 apex ultra.

    Going to add a swiftech gpu waterblock and the watercooled memory module (or just some heatsinks) and a 2 or 3x 120mm radiator as well as the the 2x rad.

    (that's next months wages..)

    He blew up an HD2900XT by overvolting the PCIe bus slightly.

    When was this?!

    SF03, how about you leave the graphics card alone... say for at least 6 months

    *preps graveyard for the 8800GT next to the 2900XT and 7900GTX grave sites*

    NEVER! Push everything until it dies... you only stop if you can't afford a replacement.

    WellnV liked the extra voltage... ATI did not.

    I never told yall about the other ATI card I killed by OC'ing too far. I had a 9800 Pro with a water block that I took so far it eventually blew a transistor... that was under warranty though. Got it replaced by Dell... ah n00b days.

    This is what I do.... run things hard until they fail. I should really be a product tester, rofl.

    Edit... no fair. I got my money back on the 2900XT!

    No... they decided to refund my money in stead of replace it. I didn't ask them to, they just did it. Ended up working for the best but it wasn't my choice, just luck.
