Yes, I did some reading up (excellent guide here on AT) and did some basic research for the blocks for my GPUs and CPU. It's around £250 for them both since I looked at the best ones.
However, I got lost as apparently I need to know the flow rate etc etc. I am not sure which pump, reservoir...
Hi all,
Recently my room got quite hot plus I got some new components so my air cooling is struggling to keep my parts cool. Besides I can't stand the drone of the fans anymore! ( I have over 8 fans in my system).
However, I have zero experience in installing a water cooled system. Been...
Wow! Thanks for the detailed reply.
I really have my doubts to be honest as the choices are kind of limited and the price for decent storage space astronomical.
I guess I will just hold on for the moment then.
Hi all,
I am considering adding a 128GB (or maybe 80GB) SSD to my setup and run my OS (and maybe a few select games) from it.
I am just wondering if they are really worth the high price they demand. Will it really make a difference and are they really worth it? Also are they reliable?
I...
Hi all,
Two questions here that I hope someone could answer:
1) I have a 1TB HD with my OS installed on it (plus all the program files). If I buy a new HD can I just copy the whole content of the HD over to the new HD and run it off the new HD?
2) Is it possible to save Program Files to...
Hi,
I am posting here because I got worried after some comments from a friend of mine.
I have an 920 i7 CPU overclocked to 4.0GHz @ 1.400v at the moment. My room ambient temp averages @ 26 Celcius. According to CoreTemp v0.99.4.65 are cores are idling around 46-47 Celcius mark. On full...
Thanks for all the kind replies!
Unfortunately, as my case features a removable mobo tray, I can't really utitlize the third PCIe lane :( So I guess that option is out. I am running the cards with the side panel off at the moment with ambient room temp of 22oC. GPU idles at 55 and GPU at 48...
Hmm, according to the manual it's best to use 1st and second slots for duo SLI. I will try to find out more.
Also now I noticed that whenever I try to run any benchmarks my second card's temp will shoot right up to 105oC while the 1st (top) card is only 88oC... On idle the top card hovers...
Hi, thanks for your reply.
My cards are Palit GTX 275s. Some pictures I am not 100% sure (since I can't find a proper air flow diagram for it) but I have a hunch the hot air exhausts from the side fins.
The ATCS840 case also have a custom exhaust box attached to the GPU slots behind the...
Thanks for your reply. The spacing between the two cards are very tight unfortunately. Around 10 cm or less from the 1st card's intake fan to the 2nd cards PCB (bottom side). I am thinking of putting a non conductive material between them so that the heat from the second PCB will be dissapated...
Alright, I updated to the latest nvidia driver (186.18) and things seemed to be improving on stock speeds w/o OCing the card. I am hitting the 16k mark now in Vantage (although I had to manually adjust some performance settings in the Nvidia control panel). Temps are still high (second card...
My GFX card is a Palit gtx 275 which has custom coolers that exhaust hot air inside the case. So I drilled a 120mm in my case to exhaust the hot air out. I tried intake but that just blew the hot air back in.
Am I doing it wrong?
