    why not to use dye's for watercooling

    I wish they would stop selling this stuff. So many people have posted problems like yours and they are just duping new people into making a mess of their loops.

    HD6970 Reference, Non-Reference, Craziness ><

    In the end, Newegg was quick to refund me the entire purchase price, no restocking fee. They even sent me a shipping label so I didn't have to pay return shipping. I went with the Sapphire 6970 and my EK block fits beautifully. Sapphire, BTW, changed model numbers for their 6970 board revision...

    HD6970 Reference, Non-Reference, Craziness ><

    So I am building a water cooled setup and was in the market for a reference 6970. After doing a little egg hunting I came across this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-356-_-Product Has all the hallmarks of a reference design; AMD logo on the slot, backplate and bios switches...

    One SSD for boot and SRT?

    Well during the install i was planning to partition of X amount of space and leave it unformatted while formating the other piece and install windows on it. You are saying this will not work? How can you install SRT before you install windows?

    One SSD for boot and SRT?

    Has anyone tried splitting an SSD into a partition for windows and a partition for SRT on other mechanical drives? I am getting a 60 gig SSD and was planning on splitting it 30/30 if possible. Any idea if it will work?

    Water Build Questions

    I would rather not have to mod the case much, thus the 120x3 and 140x1. The 140 will attach to the vent on the rear of the case.

    Water Build Questions

    Yea after reading some reviews, I think the MCR320 is about the price/performance range I'm looking for. Basically I am looking for good thermals more than totally silent. I would like to keep the price reasonable so some of those $100+ radiators are a little much. Any suggestions on a single...

    Water Build Questions

    So I am in the initial planning stages for a full system rebuild with cpu, mosfet, and dual gpu blocks. I am not completely set on HW atm, but it will probably be an i7 and dual 6850s. My possible loop will be as follows, nothing set in stone. Corsair 800d to house it all. 120x3 Rad...

    Windows 7 x86 and maximum memory.

    I know there have been several topics discussing Windows 7 x86 and how much maximum memory it can have, but its very confusing to me. Here is what I think I know so far: -Windows 7 x86 supports well over 3 gigs of ram installed at one time. -Windows 7 x86 can only allocate 3 gigs max at one...

    Would You Bomb A School?

    The second Hamas, the ruling party in the Gaza Strip, bombed Israel, it started a WAR. Israel showed great restraint by waiting so long before they actually invaded, but you only swat at the fly so many times with your hand before you go get the fly swatter and smush the fuck out of it...

    Random "lag"
