looks hot! I was thinking about doing something to mine too

looks great. Love the subwoofer!

It's okay man. Don't worry about it. One week is now the end. Just make sure you don't let it continue. Keep it going!!!

Well, one other thing I did was run one of the benches I used to frequently use... And it bowed out pretty quick but the log file for it never created and I tried several times... usually I would just get a "passed" or "complete" ... I guess I could check dmp files but I don't know if that will be it but worth a shot.... And I don't OC anything on the machine.... I don't find it beneficial to my budget

cool toy!!!

Yea I know I'm not looking for the BEST... I'm looking for the best for my budget... And $525 gets you alot of card... Nothing specifically "dictates" how much you want/need.... Different types of editing use more ram than other... Higher res, color quality, editing tool being used, size of area being edited, for both video/photos.... I have been getting slight hang ups on the stamp tool if I grab too large a portion in PS ... But when I say slight I mean, to everyone else they don't see it just me... lmao.... So really I'm being picky about it... As far as workstation vs desktop graphics cards I couldn't tell you... Money wise for someone who doesn't have a business with alot of budget then desktop is always the best solution... Workstation graphics cards always had more memory and higher clocks... but didn't always work well for most people because of price.. I just clicked over to Newegg as I was typing this and saw a $4k "professional graphics card" with 6GB ram .... and they aren't always compatible with standard motherboards... So I've yet to know first-hand.... On topic: display nvdspl. blah blah blah.... with random matrix code .... or display driver not working... it happens during anything... With the overheating, typically anything over 80C + is a bad sign... with that previous card, a friend of mine who was more versed showed me the melted thermal paste running on the card... as if it had gone past the point of what was normal.. that in turn cause a heatsink to lose 100% contact and obviously caused a very slow death... but when it died it was like a snowy hell on my first ever 1920x1200 monitor back about 8yrs ago Also, I am not experiencing the overheating on this setup.... I rarely hit 70C ... But I think memory/volt regs/caps could be going bad or something else awry on here...

So great advice... I actually went as far as going with Xtreme tweakforce drivers ... The farthest I went back was December drivers since I knew for sure I had no issues with them .... I always uninstall the drivers/software then run cc cleaner... then reboot to safe mode... Then install.... Its been my practice for over 10yrs... I had a card do the same thing to be years ago due to an overheating issue which I was too inexperienced to notice at the time... I have been leaning more towards ATI since the hardware is somewhat ahead of Nvidia in terms of performance... I'd also be editing so extra vram is helpful.... I just haven't figured out who is totally on top, but I think the QC hardware wise on the newer cards goes to ATI based off reviews and test bench charts... They are only slightly lower in some games compared to Nvidia but not enough to matter to me... Plus I have a decent machine to handle more load ..

I find that hard to believe.... Maybe your gains aren't set properly? I had a 12" Icon on 500 watts and it was crazy loud sealed.... But your vehicle is different so maybe it's reacting differently.... who knows. I currently have a 15" Xcon on my BC3500d @ 2ohms ... And it is plenty loud but I will eventually port it for a but more push!

Glad that Rick and I helped you guys out... And since you were so nice about it ... we will only charge you a flat rate fee of $250 .... We take cash only!!!

there weren't alot of "models" there... but some nice cars and bicycles....

lol.... you soo lucky I didn't get to quote you before the edit... lmao!!!

If you want a little bit of extra reassurance, I have 100% feedback on caraudio.com which can be found here -> http://www.caraudio....r.php?u=1003693 EDIT: for the record don't text me pics cause I won't get them. I use a texting app on my ipod and pics don't work for some reason. Just email them to me: [email protected] I can't wait to sign you up on many different ghey porn sites. ;-)

nice equipment swift... happy to see all the other issues ain't stopping you! Also, you got any open positions at your place? I'll relocate!

Quick work... Keep up posted, I'm hoping that is your resolution man! Maybe I should look into the resting voltage of my batteries ... although I think that isn't the reason for the car dipping into low 12's and high 11's at idle....

I'm not sure about your issue but I still have a low idle issue with my Mechman alt (same model as yours)... But since it's a daily driver and I don't have the original alt since it was bad .. I'd have to buy a new factory alt just so I could use my car... it also doesn't help that I am unemployed... They were nice at Mechman so hopefully you can get it resolved

looking good!!!

Congrats man! Alot of great things are coming!!!

this!!!

I must have missed it but what drivers are they?

looks good edub

Without going crazy you can get a very nice component set..... Look into Alpine Type-X IMO, Rainbow, Hertz, IA comp set on SSA store is good from what I've read.... And get a nice 4 channel and bridge it... Reason I say that is if in the future you wanna go active then you have the power to do so!

Very subjective... But the ones that seem common for HU w/ processing is Pioneer and they just released a new unit 80PRS ... getting amazing reviews... As far as amps for.... You just need something to deliver the power with the amount of channels you need.. So if you go 2-way active.. then you need a 4 channel amp.... If you go with a component set then you can do a nice 2 channel amp or a 4channel and bridge it... Speakers have waaaaay too many choices... goals and install are very important for anyone to provide you with a REAL suggestion...

Careful, Julian has been known to rape forum members. Lmao

welcome sir!!!

Nice bike!!!
