depends what you're doing. nothing atm really except F@H uses PhysX so the 9800GT would be wasted...

but on the other hand, graphics overclocking is usually VOLTAGE limited, NOT heat. unlike CPU's however, you can't simply just upp the voltage, so you're kinda stuck with what you have. unless the heat IS somehow stopping you from ocing further...

have you actually oc'd the 9800GX2's yet? evga precision screenie?

i know thats what im use in my system as a a PHYSX card im basicallly usees the physx in that card .. wittch well give me better frame rates for sure but well it be better to over clock that hell out of my gx2s instead ?

 

[V3NOM]

if nothing uses the physx cards it wont give you any better fps... almost certainly WORSE FPS actually, since the CPU has to manage another GPU.

and arent those 9800GX2's kinda close together? should the second one be further down... maybe thats causing the high temps LOL

one final note: WTF is that fluid in the tubes? sewerage water?!

lol at V3NOM it does look like some really dirty water in them pipes... maybe its like UV reaction black =P...

first off i well garunted get better fram rates becuase my I7 can hannddle more then that.. second they have to be that close becuase i gotta use the first and second pci slots and there not high temps there average and third that "water you see coast me me 45$ to fill it up that tubing is 100$ so take a better look at it before you decide to be a **** face
