i would just get a 9800gx2 but it needs a pci express 8 pin connector?? my psu only has 2x 6 pin connectors and im worried a simple 6 to 8 pin converter wont work due to some loss of required electrics. :(
im not sure i can afford a new vid card + psu or new vid card + mobo. dam you...
I have a m2n32-sli motherboard with the nvidia 590 sli chipset. I am considering buying two 4850 vid cards for an xfire setup but am not sure if it will even work. Does anyone know for sure if it will or will not?
I ask because ive seen contradicting info on this subject and cannot find a...
I have a m2n32-sli motherboard, it has 2x pci-express x16 slots. I am considering buying two 4850 vid cards for a xfire setup but am not sure if a xfire setup will work on the 590 chipset. Does anyone know for sure if it will or will not?
6 week update.
all the nubers are the same as above. i am truly impressed. sub 40c at idle and low 50s at full load over 30 minutes done with only the faintest, barely noticeable hum.
heres hopin... if amd doesnt blow us all away with the bulldozer core im not so sure their future will be very bright. bulldozer seems to be amd's last chance to grab some major market share and make money at the same time.
the bulldozer core cpus are going to be extremely interesting to see in action. ive got a 6400 right now and couldnt be happier, paired with an 8800gtx there is nothing that my system cannot handle well. id say get the 6400, save your dough and get a bulldozer core when it hits the streets.
i could not be more pleased with the Xigmatek hdt-s1283. I have asus pc probe on and am looking at the numbers in absolute awe. my cpu is sitting at 36c my mb is 38c (reconfirmed readings with speedfan). the cpu fan is not noticable at all, unlike the zalman 9700 which sounded like a blowdryer...
today i went to my local frys and bought a zalman 9700 NT. i dl'ed asus probe II as well as speedfan ver 4.34 Im getting readings playing cod 4 on all max settings in game of
speed fan
tmp1 43c
tmp2 39c
tmp3 73c
pcprobe II
cpu 43c
mb 39c
its currently 23c amb
xclio case...
holy crap woodbutcher, youve been one of the most helpful and insightfull peeps ive run into on anand's forums, thank you. i used to be more active on these forums a couple years ago but gave up after i got so little actual help and so much damm flamage. and i cant believe i never thought to cut...
i was all ready to by the xigmatek hdt rs1283 till i saw this http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835233012
wth is going on, isnt this thing supposed to be gods gift to air cooling?
with the size of my vid card i cannont mount any other way than i did, and i know its mounted properly. im using ac5 as my tim. with a room temp of about 25c i guess it should be sitting at 48-49c but it idles absolutely no less than at 53c. you have to consider i have an 8800gtx bfg oc version...
to answer woodbutchers question, taking the side off increses idle to 60 while leaveing the side on with the 2 large side fans off puts it at about 58. right now at full speeds my cpu is idling at 54c
its the new model that does the first model has only one speed
i guess im gonna buy a thermalright 120 and put 2 x Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D fans on it. 2x 9db is only 18db so that sould be great airflow on a great heatsink right?
I can see your logic theplaidfad and its good logic too. Using that logic it would appear my 3 choices would be between these
xigmatek 1283
thermalright ultra 120
scythe mungen aka ninja rev B
according to this chart http://www.frostytech.com/arti...?articleid=2233&page=4 the xigmatek...
im also considering the Noctua NH-U12P too
i do know that i dont want a hs/fan thats so darn big and heavy that i would have to bracket it and never be able to move my case around without worrying about crackin my mobo.
i have an amd 6400 and an 8800gtx overclocked inside a xclio wtbk advanced case paired with a zalman 9500. in my hardware monitoring in bios as well as nvidia's temp monitoring im seeing my cpu idling at 53c and and topping out at 63c under full load for 30+ minutes. I want cooler temps than...
HI, I am looking to upgrade my input devices and have been looking closely at the new HD7600L mouse and Spectre keyboard from Creative. I only know about there soundcards, speakers and headsets. I have no idea wheather they have good products otherwise. can anyone attest to thier quality, ergos...
I not only reinstalled windows, I rant dban and used the department of defense 7 layer wipe to clean it good. then I wrote zeros over the whole disk to blank it out and then formated and installed windows fresh.
still got the same problem after that!?!?!?!?
Thanx for looking at this thread. Im having a very wierd problem. Windows starts up ok, but when I get to desktop I cannot click on most any icon, start menu button, 'x' button to close out windows nothing. I can right click and bring up the small menu but cannot click on anying in the menu or...
ive noticed some disturbing problems with my OS and decided to format and reinstall my OS. after doing so i noticed the same problems!!!! Im not positive its a virus, it could possibly be hardware but its probably not. so, b4 i rma my new equipment, and even if I do, Id like a good hard disk...
they shouldve got the death penalty. hippie fux. the death of their child is not even enough a punishment for such ignorance and utopian arrogance. this makes me sick.
install the provided dirvers from the asus disk first. then go to nvidia.com and download the appropriate chipset drivers and video drivers if your vid card is nvidia based too. then go to add/remove programs and remove all nvidia drivers. restart. install the new chipset drivers, then install...
