Not so sure about that!

This is just a humble Quicksilver, running a passively cooled GF 6600GT which doesn't even have an external transmitter!

...and no, it is not the Quad behind the corner, driving the display! 😝

Its only been a few years, but just noticed the non stock cpu heatsink on the QS. What CPU are you using ?

Cool monitor

It looks like a Powerlogix single 7447.

The thread adds notes about a method to do the benchmark more quickly (do it manually using the mouse wheel) and how to increase the score in Leopard back up to Tiger levels by putting the display to sleep for second.

Very interesting. I noticed the fan going to full speed after sleep and it annoyed me but I didn't think it would have any effect on performance.
