    Case fans will not spin at full speed.

    They are directly connected to the PSU via molex. This is the same molex that is powering my 655 pump at full speed as well. I took one of the fans apart (that no longs spins at all now) and I see no physical damage. What in the world happened? I can upload pictures if that will help.

    Case fans will not spin at full speed.

    I have 3 YL 120 HL's on a 360 rad. They have a direct power source that is getting a full 12v but they do not spin at full speed anymore Sure, they're quite, but I need some airflow. They started doing this after I hooked up a fan controller and the mosfet/transistor or what ever that thing...

    What needs heatsinks on a GPU-Only cooled GTX460?

    I have two EK universal WB's that I'm going to be mounting on two GTX460's . I don't think they are reference designs because they do not exhaust out the back of the case, but they are EVGA brand. What components are going to need heat-sinks? I'd use a Swiftech uni-sink but I don't think they...

    Problems Flashing 6850's

    I'm trying to flash my Visionshit 6850's with some new BIOS to try and bump up the voltage. They are water-cooled, and I can support the increased heat load. Now, I cannot but up the voltage via software because this is a non-ref board. The CHiL chip is not there. Hell, even the mosfets are...

    Elegant Way of Linking WBs?

    I cannot use the heat-killer block. I have non-ref boards, and they cut out that digital voltage regulators (at least that what I think they are) and have shortened the pcb. They also moved quite a few peices around as well...

    Elegant Way of Linking WBs?

    I agree. I got some more picture thanks to Swiftech, and personally, I don't like it. I did a hold of EK and they are making a new top for their block, that will work with their bridges. I just have to wait a couple of weeks. YAY!

    Odd Surround Sound Issue

    Odd Surround Sound Issue

    Only in surround does this happen Everything is RCA, nothing else. I've used two different known good cables, and tested with volt meter. Red to Red, White to White. I'd have to pretty damn ignrant to now know where to plugs these into. I've used CD and DVD's to test audio. Even tried playing...

    Elegant Way of Linking WBs?

    Is there an elegant way of linking two universal GPU Water-blocks? Since I have non-reference 6850 boards, and these thing run 24/7 at full load, I'm in need of water cooling them. I already have my CPU in a loop and I got plenty of raditor to handle the extra heat. But I have to use universal...

    Voltage Creep on cpu?

    Hey everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster. I've been on Guru3d and [H] for a few years though... I have a strange issue that I'm trying to isolate. My dumb-ass killed my AWESOME power supply. It was a Silverstone OP750. What happen is that I had the computer running, and the cover off...
