Failurbydesign Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 eXtreme power line is flaky and yeah you didn't really take a step forward with the video card. More of a side step if that. Ok! This is why I asked for assistance! For what I do and what I play the video card will be more than fine. If u or anyone has recomendattions for a ps and a video card ( must work in os x) that would cost me less than 250 with tax and shipping please feel free to post links and what not! All this can be returned so I'm ready for whatever u got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwai lo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Okay, well this thread kind of got off to a...not quite focused start. I didn't read through the other stuff because it seemed..well all over the place. So if you wanted to start over... Can you just relist your complete system specs again? What size is your monitor/what resolution do you game at? I have no idea what video cards would have problems with OSX, I imagine it all to be on the driver side of things...but the power supply won't be anything to worry about.

Failurbydesign Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yea i picked up an extra 80mm fan stick it at the front of my case under my HD's! Blows a little more cool air into the card! Im also looking to get away from my m-atx case and i like the cooler master 690!
