Thanks...I usually don't keep a computer for 3 years anyway..I am always upgrading and giving parts away to kids or grandkids...lol.

Are you only giving them the parts on the condition that they crunch?

Sorry , it doesn't work that way. Their computer are not set up to run 24/7 the way mine are and most of them for the grandkids are not on the internet. I give them parts so that they cn keep old ones running and I also do upgrades for them. As for the ones I give the kids the don't have the time to bother with computers except to check e-mail.

Darn! They need to be educated!

I got the new card up and running! It produces tons of heat though, a lot more than the GTS 250. The power system seems to be running stable but the PSU's running a bit warm but thats to be expected of PSU running near it's limit. I have to say, SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! She's spitting out the PPS Sieve WUs in only 1/3rd the time that the 250's putting out. This it going to really jack my RAC up to about 300,000-400,000! Somebody pinch me! *giggles like a little school girl*

I find that odd.

My dual 460's, heftily clocked-up from 675 to 900 run MUCH cooler than my dual 250's.

60c as opposed to 80c.

Might have something to to with the fan setup on the card. The 250 has it's fan in the middle and the air escapes on both sides while the fan on on the 460 is on the end of the card and it ejects all the heat out the back. The GPU utility that came with the 460 says they'r both running at 60C. So whatever I guess.
