nicknametooshort — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:26:34 +0800

PSU - CM Real Power Pro 650 Watt has total Ampere is 57A
and it has 3 +12V wires.

is the Ampere distributed evenly among the three wires (meaning 19A each)

or

is 57A divided to how many cable used (2 cables used means 28.5A each)?

mobo too hot?

nicknametooshort — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:35:36 +0800

I am using a QX9650 + p5q3 + 2x1GB DDR3 1333MHz

and i recently added a XFX GTX 285.... and the board's idle temp is 43-45Celcius, on load it is like 60C.

is this too hot?

if so, can i stay with air cooling or do i need water cooling?

i7 965 or qx9650

in the long run, which one is worth buying and/or keeping?

one thing of my concern is that whether Intel is going to keep using the new socket? (LGA 1366)...
this question does affect the market value of the "i7-compatible mobo"... so i am a bit worried here...

which one is worth buying and/or keeping..

CUBEMAP using openGL

nicknametooshort — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 10:25:42 +0800

Hey, i am new in this graphics programming.

i using openGL libraries rite now. the GL.h, GLu.h, glut.h, glext.h...

rite now i am trying to use the GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP extension...

so...
here are the problems that i am stuck with...

1. is there any reliable image loader (preferrably for .bmp images)

2. what is the process between image loading and actually using the image as texture

3. i cannot apply the extension GL_TEXTURE_CUBE_MAP_NEGATIVE_X and its 5 other friends properly in the program.

Fyi, i can do a makeshift cubemap using GL_TEXTURE_2D, but porting it to be useable with GL_TEXTURE CUBE_MAP is really hard.

Thanks for answering. snippets of code would be really helpful

PSU requirement

nicknametooshort — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 11:58:20 +0800

Hi, i am thinking of buying a gtx 285 soon.

i have read many reviews, and most of it stated that a single card system can be successfully stable with a PSU that is 550W or above (real power of course).

SO, i would like to know wether my CM 650 Real Power Pro is sufficient to power gtx 285.

thanks for answering.
