    Thermalright HR-05 IFX on Asus P6T Deluxe

    Is there anybody who's done it? does it work? Any tips? Update: I did it..sort of.. I just removed the top part of the passive cooling system of the motherboard, which is directly over the northbridge. that exposes a copper plate approximately 5x4 cm. This is not the typical application of this...

    though so.. I have a friend though that may have the equipment to do it..I'll see and say.. Update: My friend will come on Saturday so I'll have an accurate reading of power consumption then.. Until then.. I replaced my second HDD with a WD 1,5T Green and installed the Accellero S1...

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    @ Danny Bui: Ok... if it is THAT far off, is there a more accurate software? @Earley: it's not about patience. I did save my money and I bought this PSU which costed me 150 euros..That's a lot in my book for a PSU.. but more important than that is silence and as i have stated before this is the...

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    I just Installed the cards and everything runs smoothly.. :). I tested them with Red Faction and NFS Shift both at max quality settings 1920x1200 60MHz.. and APC PowerChute recorded around 230 watts.. I understand it's not accurate but how far off can it be??.. PS: The noise is...

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    haven't got them yet but I just learned they are not going to be gigabytes with passive cooling but saphires... I don't know if that changes anything power-wise.. Anybody knows if they can be modded to being passive? UPDATE: I searched around a little bit and it seems it can be done and most...

    Prolimatech Megahalems LGA 775 and LGA 1366 Cooler @ [H]

    I just finished installing last night.. Arctic cooling says break in period is 25 hours for the ceramique paste I used, also I removed some fans and cut off every honeycomb grill there was left in my case, removed all filters too. right now I have CPU:33 degrees SYSTEM:46, GPU:47 idle with all...

    I use 3 out of the 6 slots and the closest to the cpu is empty so i don't have that problem and i have this dilemma :)

    Prolimatech Megahalems LGA 775 and LGA 1366 Cooler @ [H]

    Could you go in a litlle bit more detail on why it will be better? Also if we take into consideration the whole case airflow, things may become more complicated.. I will try to describe it: All fans are Nexus Silent and they are manual controlled with a Zalman ZM MFC 1 plus (usually...

    Prolimatech Megahalems LGA 775 and LGA 1366 Cooler @ [H]

    Hello, I ordered one myself plus a Scythe Kama PWM System Fan 120mm and they are coming in tommorow (hopefully :) ).. I have a P6T deluxe and a CM-690 case and I have 2 Nexus Silent Series fans on the top and 1 at the back, all blowing air out. No fan installed on the upper side panel slot...

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    I read a review of the earthwatts 500 where they tested PSUs even at 110% load and they couldn't test it even at 100% because it failed at 398 watts. Their conclusion was that it's actually not a 500 watts PSU but 400watts. I've been googling for 30 minutes now but I can't find it. I remember I...

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    Absolutely correct, I wanted to do it from the beginning, all i wanted was confirmation to make me feel better about the risks :).. or someone to present undeniable evidence that I will destroy my pc and drop the project.. Anyway, I want to thank everybody that took the time to post...

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    well, I don't expect any overclocking. My PSU has a single 12volt rail with 35 amps and all the reviews I've read praise its quality and stability even at full load.. since the manufacturer says I can do it (at 30 degrees ambient temp) I will try it with a fan blowing on its back..

    4850 crossfire with 450 PSU possible?

    @ King Icewind + shadowghost: Buying stuff is not an option. I have 2x4850 coming my way for free. I'm not looking to buy a new card. @ Danny Bui: I also have had a PSU blow up first time but it was a faulty one, guaranty covered it. I am aware that instability and fluctuation of power slowly...
