Yea, took a little artistic "liberty" with the Photoshop. Just wanted to see how another one would look in there. Now I wish I'd have gone with 470s in Tri-SLI just for the looks.
Truth be known, I run a six year-old Dell Dimension - All the rest is Photoshop enhanced.
See for yourself - Here it is without the visual "enhancements,"

What's your OC on that processor?

Nice man, how is it? Worth the cost? I've been considering replacing my 460 as it's faulty, the original owner won't give me an invoice, and I need one for an RMA.
It's amazing! I only paid $340 NZ (which is a hell of a deal here) even at retail it's definitely worth it. 35% fan speed and 30*C idle and ~45*C full load. I'm running everything on full at 1920x1080 and it breezes through it. This weekend I'm going to OC my CPU and the 6870 and see how it looks in benchmarks.

great job! Only Problem is that V8 is hindering a Ram upgrade
- Not your fault obviously but still lol. 
Im running mine naked because of a problem,and was testing diffrent things to narrow down the cause...keep messing around with the case is a hastle so i took it out for a bit.
The motherboard is the problem :/

Thanks! Yeah, the Kingston wasn't my first choice unfortunately, but it was the only decent RAM we had at the shop. I may sell it and get 8gb of something else. Maybe G.Skill.great job! Only Problem is that V8 is hindering a Ram upgrade
Thanks bbz. It's been a while since you've been around these parts.Absolutely beautiful

My supplies arrived!!!
So here I'll be showing you what the Arcti Clean does. Basically it eats away the old paste, you wipe what's left away (Had to do this 3 times on the cpu/cooler and 2 times on the gpu) and the second bottle basically makes it shiny and smooth
Next are the fans, and they are 100mm fans, with the TX3 fan clips mounted on them. The fans are nice because they have 100mm mounts and 92mm mounts.
The CPU and TX3 back in place with AS5 applied.
first fan attached.
second one.
Now on to the GTX 460.
As you can see the cheap thermal paste that came with the TX3 doesn't look like it applied very well. I certainly fixed that up!
Having finished with the 460, I pondered keeping the shroud and fan off and attaching the TX3's stick fan to the card in some way. Sadly I'm all out of zip ties so it has to wait
So now everything is back in and ready to go. Note that my old temps were 28c idle and 60c under load. Now for the new temps...
I like that improvement! I'll also post new temps after the AS5 cures, so expect them late next week.
