@S_M: I can't tell you for definite (I'm in the Canary Islands and so its sitting at home as we speak) but I'm pretty sure its a GT555. And I agree with you, but I had no downstairs space for a desktop (and I hate being shut in my room all day) and I like it being portable (which mine is, or I'm just a tank :D)Oh and I'm a coffee guy, so your point there is invalid different to mine Wait, mine is an i7 and TRB's is i5. Well blow me.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything
Of course, internet debates are fun! Well, as long as the other perspn isn't a complete bigot (which you quite clearly aren't ;D) It depends what you mean by portable. I wouldn't be comfortable under your arms all day but inside a shoulder-strapped laptop bag its brilliant.And I'm 99% sure its either a 555GT or a GT555. Whichever way round.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

(Image removed from quote.)Those are a fan controller, if you don't have room on the motherboard for more 3-pin fans, you can plug them into the 3-pin ports and plug the 4 pin part into your power supply and the other 3-pin plug into the PCI mini-card. Secure the mini card with a screw, and turn the knob to adjust the fan speed.

Thanks. Guess that means I don't need it, I have a nice little program that lets me control the overclocking and fans, which is useful. So, anybody know why it's running so slowly?
Is it not about time for GTM Awards 2011? o:
