    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    It almost fits. See the attached image. The red boxes are the part where the heatsink overlaps board components (chokes in this case), presumably because the 1080 Ti has more of these than the 1080. Other than that, the mounting looks like it'll fit perfectly. I'm inclined to try cutting the...

    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    I hadn't, but nice find! I haven't verified, but from the image it looks like it should fit the 1080 Ti FE, not just 1080/1070. I'll order one and test.

    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    Ahhh, they're not available on the Europe store (just checked with a proxy, since Arctic's site uses geolocation and doesn't have an override option without registration). They're in stock on the US store.

    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    Arctic's site is stupid. The heatsinks disappeared from the "spare parts" tab on one page load, then reappeared when I opened a new private browsing tab (Safari isolates every tab). Here's a direct link: https://www.arctic.ac/us_en/heatsink-accelero-twin-turbo-ii.html?___SID=U. (As with...

    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    That's true. The FE cooler uses the same concept, but the entire frame (including blower assembly) is one piece, so there's more metal area on that. Sorry! They're under the "Spare parts" tab, listed as "Accelero Twin Turbo II - Heatsink." I should have noticed that the URL doesn't change when...

    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    Thanks for all the responses! Yep, I bought the III. The IV's backside VRM cooling solution looked more like a gimmick than an effective cooling solution. I was referring to the main (front) heatsink assembly on the FE cooler. While the entire FE cooler frame is a single piece of metal (with...

    1080 Ti FE VRM/VRAM cooling plate available anywhere?

    I'm replacing my 1080 Ti FE cooler with an Accelero and trying to find the best VRM/VRAM cooling solution. The Accelero includes basic RAM and VRM sinks, which will work but are going to be a pain to install properly, and there's the additional failure mode of thermal tape failure. The FE...

    Asus Strix Z270i - odd LLC Level 1 behavior

    In the past and on other boards, I've set LLC to "disabled," which presumably means "Intel spec behavior." On this board, Asus doesn't provide an obvious "disabled"/"Intel spec" option; instead, the options are "auto" and "levels" ranging from 1 to 7. The setting description within the BIOS...

    Amex Offer - $25 off $200 at Newegg, expires 12/31/2014

    Looks like it is available on Twitter, just wasn't retweeted on the Amex account (which is where I looked) until later: https://twitter.com/Newegg/status/542017030657175552. That means the offer should be available with Serve and Bluebird accounts as well (and Serve accounts can have 4...

    Amex Offer - $25 off $200 at Newegg, expires 12/31/2014

    Edit: looks like this is available to everyone. It is also available via Twitter: https://twitter.com/Newegg/status/542017030657175552. (See https://sync.americanexpress.com/twitter/Index for details on that.) This means Serve and Bluebird accounts should be eligible as well, and Serve allows...

    Do Haswell Xeons allow BCLK straps?

    Thanks for that. It seems there is still some conflicting information on this from various different sources (and the older Haswell overclocking articles, from the IDF presentation, don't specify anything about the actual SKUs), but I'm inclined to trust Anand. BCLK straps seem pointless now...

    Do Haswell Xeons allow BCLK straps?

    Seems that nobody knows (understandable considering no reviewers AFAIK have reviewed the Xeons, and it seems retail stores aren't carrying them so the earliest anyone will get them is Tuesday). I'm going to wait until tonight and if nobody has an answer, I'll order a 1230v3 from Newegg (seems...

    Do Haswell Xeons allow BCLK straps?

    The Haswell Xeons are up on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116906 (E3-1230v3) Has anyone heard if it's possible to OC these with BCLK straps, or are they disabling that like with 2011 Xeons? (It's between that and the 4770; my next CPU is going to have...

    DCS: Warthog is pushing my GPU wayyy past normal temps...possible?

    FurMark gets throttled by the drivers. IIRC Kombustor is a rebranded FurMark. ArmA 2 tends to be CPU-bound although it depends on the exact settings.

    Average Wireless Bill Increased 7% in 2012

    Force that phone to roaming and I guarantee they will. (Check the terms of your data plan first; I'm pretty sure it's unlimited data in the US, but it's probably worth checking to avoid any surprises.)
