Updating my graphics card

Corsair, Antec, and Thermalktake are great. Thermaltake is good for me, it keeps the fans in the PC all running for a few extra minutes so the components don't get too hot. Don't know if you ordered it yet.

Thanks for the explanation, Riva. I ordered now the GPU along with the PSU from Amazon. Both should be here in 3-4 days. Wish me lots of luck so that I'll manage to let them work properly.

I was wondering if you still had or not doing this update, and now is the time. Good luck with this experience and hope that all the work gets fine.

Good luck, takes time to find the right one. I hope you like this.

Right, guys! Wheeeehoooo!!!!

I'm sitting right now here with the new Antec PSU and the HD 5770 Vapor-X at MM2X and just enjoyed a ride in Shift Demo. I managed to put everything correctly into my PC and everything works well now!

It runs damn smooth and all other games are now running nearly completely smoothly on max. settings. I'm so glad I can check out now the recent games.

Thanks, guys for your time and for explaining to me everything in detail. Without you I wouldn't be as happy and glad as now. BIG BIG thank you to you, guys!

I'M JEALOUS >:3

Lol, hope you enjoy it. I myself am thinking to get a new graphics card for my birthday (19 days

), but I'm hesitant if they'll go in my computer case or not.

Thanks, guys. Here in Germany it's damn hot and we have about 25-33

many times while playing high detailed games the graphic cards become too hot but you can't do nothing about this it is normal and it is not because of the weather . of course if it is outside -20 degrees and you put your PC in the snow it wont get hot that's for sure but it isn't too much for the weather

i remember that i saw a vid in a promotions tech site for a special liquid cooling system but the site is down since months and i heven't heard for anyone has that special system . You can choose not to play in summer . But you have to know that graphic cards are like tires more hotter better performance

Graphics cards get really hot. I had to change out 7 in a year. Some were even 90% made of plastic. Better get some good fans for the case. Very cheap also.

But I already have two fans, one on the GPU and one of the PSU. This pic is not up-to-date, but you can see the two lower black fans.

The fan of my Antec PSU is much bigger than the one of my previous Bestec PSU. The same goes to the GPU. Aren't these four enough to keep everything cool inside the case? I don't have any place to build in more fans...
