Hey, I just installed the Windows 7 RTM build from Technet. I also just purchased an AverTV Combo M780 Tuner (for the analog and OTA). I already had a HDHomeRun which gave me 2 ATSC Digital signals. But I'm having trouble configuring all the tuners in Media Center... I can get the Analog...

Hey, I just installed Windows 7, lost all my old settings. But I notice something really annoying that happens. When I start up a program, or open a folder, Windows shows the loading icon, I can't click on anything, then I hear my hard drive spin up. 2 seconds later, my computer is back to...

Damn... thought so. "lol who the heck told you that? ATI has supported 4 displays in crossfire since they released crossfire years ago.." That was what someone replied to me in another thread... Because of that.. I went out and bought an extra un-needed 4870.. ugh!!!

Hey, I ended up getting 2 4870's.... But I need a little help.. I have them in Crossfire mode. I formatted to Windows 7. Did not install Catalyst yet, so all 4 monitors working (crossfire cable is on). Installed Catalyst 9.8 for win7 64-bit.. got blue screen. Restarted, 2 monitors were...

haha, sweet.

I thought I'ld ask to above, just because its interesting. But I'm sure I can still get help from people that dont know any formulas. How about the placement of the rad, res, and blocks? Should one be higher than the other? I have my triple rad at the bottom, res at the top, and blocks in...

Yikes, maybe my setup is just.. weird. I haev my triple rad at the bottom because in the stacker t01, I can't really find any other place to put it. the 3 fans are intake fans drawing cool air away from the rad (sitting on top of the rad), and actually.. damn, I only have one exhaust 120mm...

Yeah, but its cool to actually use the math I learned back years back in cal 3, instead of letting the knowledge go to waste. I know theres some tech people in here that might know, thats why I asked. Most people here are probably engineers if they're really into this, and engineers are usually...

Just a random, bored side question... Can anyone think of any Mathematical Formulas that an be used for water cooling? Ex: Calculating heat transfer in the loop, Calculating the curves in the water cooling loop and using that to calculate water flow resistance, etc. I just thought it'd be...

Speed Fan shows HD2 and HD3 temps only. HD2 is 44 C, HD3 is 40 C. The temps haven't moved since I opened SpeedFan... so I dont know if its accurate. Since I have no temp probes on them, and I dont think the hard drives have an internal thermometer, I dont think SpeedFan knows. 'Shrug' But if...

I have 4 hard drives screwed in a 3.5 bay holder, with LITERALLY about 1-2mm space between them. Barely any room at all. What would you say is the most effective way to cool them without spending a lot? Out of my entire system, I think that generates the most heat. There's a fan in front, but it...

Okay, just thought I'ld ask before I attempted anything. Thanks Waterblock is on the northbridge, when I meant chipset above, is it assumed that its the northbridge?

Hey, I sold my motherboard and cpu to someone, and have another motherboard and cpu to replace it with. But as of right now I'm waiting to build it until my new video card comes. I had a water cooled setup, But I'm adding a second video card, and don't want setup my water cooling with the new...

I have a MAZE5 thats currently in use on my x1900xtx. Im hoping that the holes are the same size, that way I can put my MAZE5 on my 4870. And then I'm also going to buy another 4870 with a mcw60 on it. Is that all I need? I know those aren't full coverage blocks. Do I need anything else...

okay cool, thanks. Does brand matter much if its the same 1GB 4870, but a different brand/name?
