    Really quick 4890 question

    or just run furmark at a nice oc for a few minutes to get it nice and toasty, quick shutdown, flip, and peel away! =)

    PCI-E Video card w/ HDMI Output, need suggestions!

    depends on the gaming, but why not a 4770 if you're concerned about power consumption? very strong in this respect, less heat at the 40nm process if you have a strong enough psu, why not a 4890 instead of a 4870? roughly the same power consumption, and stronger card, and less heat inside your...

    Toyota Prius +2004 phase-change cooling system?

    so ummmm... besides it not being an "air" conditioner anymore, my biggest question is: are you going to be building a new heat exchanger to reject heat from your cpu/gpu loop to the prius AC coolant loop? sounds hard, and im an engineer developing heat exchangers for a living...

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    if it's the reference cooling design on that card, try moving the fan power cable a bit.

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    Are you referring to Table 2-8 and Figure 2-3? If so, I was trying to figure that out as well. I would assume that current (Icc) would vary with load. However, it states max current is 145A and of course TDP is 125W. Were one to use these numbers to determine a voltage it would be quite...

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    vengeance, that doesn't seem to say that intel doesn't legally support a processor being run inside max. absolute limits, only that there is a risk of damage, which i think we all understand. the intel guideline was referenced as being something to abide by if one wanted to be legal about the...

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    I'm a mechanical guy. So definitely not comfortably at home with Intel's datasheet, but doesn't Table 2-6, page 22, state Vcore max (Vcc in Intel's lingo?) is 1.55v? In this case, it is not only generally accepted but also Intel accepted?

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    i guess not many are interested. in case anyone pulls this up though, i submitted a ticket to xfx for the rattling/ticking and was told to gently tug the fan power cable away from the fan. lo and behold it worked and is obvious that's the problem as moving it around while powered on can...

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    just got my system up and running with this card. there is a definite ticking/rattling with my fan. it is dependent upon fan speed. except, it is mostly gone above 33-35% and completely gone by 40%. simply upping the minimum speed isnt an acceptable solution since it's too loud for...

    Affordable, Cool, Black, Aluminum. Where?

    panzerbox: i like the look of this but it's gotta be hot in there (esp around the GPUs) http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/nzxt_panzerbox_/3.htm i'm not sure i trust the thermal results on the next page. hdds block the big front intake, psu blocks the side of the gpu, cables block the...

    IO Shield RJ45

    B'Duh, think I answered my own question here. Because they use the same one for a few boards, some of which don't have the jack(s)? I guess I can just cut the tabs out...

    IO Shield RJ45

    Bought a GA-EX58-EXTREME Why does the IO shield block the two RJ45 jacks? Whown here: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/motherboards/2009/01/21/gigabyte-ga-ex58-ud4p-and-ds4-review/1
