    New to GTX470 sli

    No, it will not be a dud for overclocking. The way Nvidia binned these chips was to increase the vdd up to whatever voltage was required to meet these clock speeds. I have two 470's from EVGA, one has a vdd of 0.97 and the other is 1.03. They both run 100% stable overclocked. Every...

    Anyone use teflon tape on their fittings?

    I don't use it. That's what the o-ring is for.

    Loop setup, or maybe not enough raditor cooling?

    The only thing that matters in a loop setup is that you have the res right before the pumps. Other than that the order doesn't matter. The water is moving so fast, and changes temperature so slowly, that the difference in input and output water temperature on either side of the blocks, or...

    newbie questions for SLI 470 + i7 930 setup

    The MCR320 is fine for 2x470. I have one with 3 yate loon medium fans, a MCP355 pump and Koolance vid-nx470 blocks. The cards are running an OC of 1.075V and 800MHz, and under Kombuster sit around 65C. Gaming they don't get above 55C, in a room at 26C. Idle around 30C.

    ohhhh boy, spilled coolant everywhere

    I really hope it was off and unplugged when you emptied your loop onto it. ;) Dab up as much of the water as you can with a towel. Use compressed air to blow out any remaining water from the pci connectors, power connectors, underneath heat sinks, between components, etc. Then set it in...

    Noisy water loop!

    I have almost the exact same loop setup as you, minus the fill port and drain port. Here is what I did to remove the air from my loop. First, make sure you have unplugged your system power supply cable. Then I removed the reservoir from the case and then placed the reservoir on top of the...

    Parts list for SLi 470 in a mid tower

    You power supply is right on the edge. Anandtech just posted a 470 SLI review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3836/msis-geforce-n470gtx-gtx-470-sli/1 They show a 740W system load when running Furmark, and less when running Crysis. If you push the OC higher with the water cooling, your...
