As infrequently as humanly possible.

So long as it's PC related, my wallet's happy ;)

I like overkill, I know I can use a 600watt and be more than okay, but hey. Overkill is more fun in my book.

My fans didn't ramp above 40% according to ATi Tools. I don't like the temps that high, but hey. They are right next to each other, they are single height coolers. I was thinking about the 1KW Enermax, EGA something.

What should I be looking for in said event log?

I'd expect PSU problems too. I'm, stupidly, running two 1950 Pros on a 530 and I get the exact same issue in C&C3+Sup. Com. I ran ATi Tools on the other monitor while I played, temps didn't top out too much above 90, stock cooling no O/C. Am currently waiting on some pay so I can get a...

I have a friend whos DVD drive that will, annoyingly, only burn .iso files, as oppose to just files, as Nero Express allows you to. There have been no software changes that I'm aware of, or that they have made me aware of, there's no games published by Kochmedia so Starfarce isn't causing...

I like W/C, because I'm pretty much the only person I know in person (As oppose to online) who does (did) it. And I liked the temps during the summer >.>

I've actually just ditched my W/C loop all together. I have two 1950's now, and as both are different. See image Text for a depiction of what I mean. It'd be too much of a pain in the backside to W/C the both of them, with their different layouts. I'm using a thermalright XP120 or some...

Well, I already have watercooling, for the CPU, and have done for quite some time. That, unlike the GPUs, is overclocked. I would prefer lower temps on my GPUS, I can imagine during some proper gaming sessions that they will spike well above the ~70 I've seen. Besides which, from what I...

Just got a second 1950Pro, same as the previous (Sapphire 256), and guess what. It's got a different block on it, and would be fine with any of the solutions mentioned here, without additional fabrication. Question is, do I bother W/Cing? I have no intention of O/Cing, and they barely hit...

Personally, I'm using 3/8th due to space inside the case, I found that airflow for non W/c parts was really restricted by the 1/2" I was using. As for pump strength, I was planning to up the current pump to an Eheim 1250, I figured two GPU blocks, DD TDX and a Thermochill PA120.2 should be no...

If you look at the Sapphire X1950Pro Ultimate, it has an additional heatsink at the rear of the card - This appears to cover three things for cooling. I'm running a standard 256mb 1950 Pro myself, as such don't have that heatsink spare. Although some waterblocks list compatability with 1950...

If the PS3 arrives. IF. =P

Huzah, my PSU would support 8800's... As if I'd ever buy any. I'm not hugely surprised that most of the list are in the KW range. Two 8800s can hardly be being friendly with power, can it. What, requiring two 6-pin additional power sources each. I guess someone's going to have to start...
