    The Altcoin Thread

    Thanks....but I am getting it for around 300 with a waterblock. The 6990 seems to hash around 800-900, but also sucks power, I think about 350W for the card. this is where I am stuck on whether to do it or not. I am looking at LTC, Doge, Lotto etc.

    The Altcoin Thread

    Guys, how much khash can I expect with a 6990. Also is it worth running that for altcoins, taking into consideration the power requirements?

    The Altcoin Thread

    Where can I find a link which shows which coin uses which algorithm. I am a bit confused about the whole thing. So for eg, Bitcoin uses x and therefore is compatible with coin A,B and C, whereas protoshare uses y and is the same as coin X. Y and Z....something like that. Is there any USB...

    3 Month Old 7950 Burnt Out (LTC Mining)

    XFX has a habit of changing designs from the reference to use cheaper components. I have seen a lot of older XFX (6950/70) cards which are generally not upto the mark as far as component selection goes. You must udnerstand that the die comes at a fixed price from AMD, depending on the...

    Illuminating a Logo Cap With LED?

    What I would suggest if that you use clear or white acrylic, snaded down to make it a more mat finish and then put the LED behind that. That way the chances of seeing the LED would be minimal. Also a 5 V should be fine if its not too large a piece. Film may not give you the look you are looking...

    Has anyone switched from Android to iPhone?

    Well, as far as the experience, yes iOS is a lot more closed as compare to the Android system unless you are willing to JB the phone. But with the JB, there seem to be a few other issues, like lower battery life as well. Stick to stock and one thing I can promise you is that it will work and...

    EK Back to their old Tricks Again..

    After having the new EK electroplating blocks fail on me for a second time (two 6970 blocks), I decided to use another manufacturer and this time I got a Aquacomputer block and I must say the finish is superb. I like that the stand offs are already well attached to the blocks and they dont have...

    Quick disconnects

    Basically, there is not much flow resistance with Qd's. You should be fine with it. I didnt click the links you put up, but basically the QD's open up to full bore only after they are connected in a pair. Adding them to your GPU setup may be a pain, depending on how you plan to do it. They are...

    iPhone 5C 16GB to cost $550 off-contract...isn't that a little much?

    I have been using an Iphone 4 for 2 years and the 5 for about a year now and even though its probably one of the best devices I have used I would say that this time the non carrier prices are way too high for me. I think I am going to get a nexus 5 when its launched.

    Cooler Masters HAF Stacker series

    Cant really get myself to like this setup. I was soo hoping that the stacker series would make a come back. But CM insists on working on the HAF series only, and have forgotten about the original Stacker and full tower ATCS series...:mad:

    Total War: Rome 2

    So do you guys normally play the single player, multi player or the wars part? Have been getting into Shogun 2 for the last year now, and even though I stopped in between I restarted a few days ago and am really enjoying the replayability. I also added FoTS and thats given it a lot more...

    Pre-fab watercoolers.. ie, antec/corsair.

    Actually distilled becomes conductive in a few short minutes of you pouring it into the loop as there is bound to be some impurities already present. In the same way, I think every liquid that are available to water coolers will be contaminated in double quick time anyway. But, distilled...

    Diablo III: Reaper of Souls' Expansion Revealed

    I have mixed feelings about this. Though the features in the expansion looks good on paper, I am a bit concerned on how they will implement a few of them. I will probably wait a few days for some reviews before jumping on this, unlike the last time around.

    760 SLI or single 780?

    Single card options always work out better. I would vote for the single 780 as well. Though I would think holding out for a month or so makes sense as AMD cards might be announced and there may be a chance of price drops.

    770 vs 780

    On 1080, the 770 is quite adequete. I can run almost all games at the best settings without any stutter or slowdown. Cant tell you much about 1200 though.

    ASUS Maximus VI Hero LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Actually quite a good board for the money. Sad that Haswell OC is a bit of a hit or miss as most of the Z87 high end and mid end bords look to be packed with features.

    CaseLabs Merlin SM8

    Heres mine, so you guys can see what you can do with this case. I used up the bottom area for the light box, but you can install a rad there as well as in the front.

    Did you like Fallout 3 better or NV?

    I liked both and put in roughly the same amount of time on both of them. If had to choose, it would be NV. I wish they came out with FO 5 or whatever they want to name it, but with a current graphics engine...

    Tomb Raider reboot will make PC gamers "very, very happy"

    I really enjoyed this game...put in about 28 hours and worth every cent of the USD 10 I paid for it. The graphics are very nice and the story is quite nice as well. I have still to finish picking up all the stuf and one tomb left as well.
