I suggust using an OEM version of windows for a custom built computer.. laptops are usually brand name.. and if your trying to use a brand name-modified version of windows on a custom system, your likely to get some problems.

well, after a bit of bios tweeking, the windows cd installed fine. i think i had the cpu underclocked way too much. lol. clock speed was set to automatic. then i changed it to default. then booted windows like that. and windows froze. then i went back(after an hour) into the bios to find that the multiplier was set to only 5x!!! so i was only at 1.0ghz. lol. after that, windows cd booted fine. but it didnt detect my hdd. said it was corrupted. so i connected the hdd to my old pc. didnt recognize. so im guessing its busted. oh well.

badninja, is that card loud as hell?

 

[badninja3]

i cant even hear it. but thats probably cuz the cpu fan is really loud, and always at near-full blast.

The 7600's are so low in power consumption that a PCI-E power plug isn't needed. All the power it needs is feeded through the PCI-E bus. That's why the 7600 is such a good budget mid-range card. It hardly uses any power, but for the $150+ price range, it offers performance better than the 6800 GT and GS by a healthy margin.

That thing screams when the fan is at full power, such as when playing games. Its not too bad at idle though.

There really aren't any stock fans that are built for silence. If you want something quiet, go for the Zalman VF700-Cu or VF900-Cu depending on your budget.
