    Overclocking 4870x2

    I used the CCC to OC the GPU clock and memory. I am sitting at 800 Mhz on the GPU (as high as CCC will let me go) and 970 on the memory. At idle I sit at around 42C with the manual control at 40%. You cant hear the fan at that speed. My CPU fan (Stock Tuniq Tower) makes more noise that it...

    Need help with Overclocking on P5E Board

    Which voltage are you referring to with this? VCore? Also is this assuming I have changed the bios from the P5E to the Rampage?

    Need help with Overclocking on P5E Board

    Currently I have a Q9650 with a Asus P5E board with 8 gig of Corsair memory. I have currently changed the FSB to 400 in the bios to get the CPU from 3.0 to 3.6. I would like to take it higher but have no idea what other settings I need to change (and please be specific as I have no idea about...

    how do i enable the s/pdif port on my P5E?

    I have my optical out working just fine. I currently have my rig hooked up via HDMI to my 59" tv and sending the audio out to my receiver. What bios are you working with?

    P5E to Rampage

    I can concur on that. I have had nothing but trouble using the Asus utility to download bios updates. I use the EZ-Flash utility, works wonders. Really great because who doesn't have a flash drive nowadays?

    [Project sub topic] parts needed for W/C!

    I don't know much on this subject (yet) but I have seen these fans pop up in a lot of high end builds like Langer's PrometheusCu project http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6441/fan-378/Scythe_Ultra_Kaze_120_x_38mm_Fan_-_3000_RPM_DFS123812H-3000.html#blank

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    If I was to then add another 4870x2 and water cooled it would there be enough space between that second card (fit into the blue slot in the pictures) and the rad fans to allow for adequate airflow/dissipation? Also you reference getting rid of the fans in the front. Does that include the...

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    Touche...dealmaster...touche. I wrote the last post quickly on my way out the door (where I should be now) . I am more concerned about the performance abilities of the CPU/GPU as I would like to keep them overclocked and perhaps go higher as the program I will be using the most 3dMax does indeed...

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    Here are my idle temps (withstanding firefox running 5 sessions of HardOCP that is) :P while I realize (IMO) these temps are real good the overall use (once I get everything setup) for this rig will be for Graphic Design and Rendering/Animation. As a result it is going to be running 24/7...

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    Currently I am not overvolting at all, the only "real" Overclocking thing I have done to the CPU is flip the FSB from 333 to 400 (taking it from a 3.0 to 3.6). I would like to try and hit 4 Ghz if possible. I am not sure if I want/need to do the chipsets (but the geek in me says yes, as...

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    While the n00b aspect may begin to become annoying the remainder will always be true. I discovered a long time ago there are always people out there smarter and better than you (in my case most of them seem to post on these forums often) :p

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    I decided against posting pics of the actual rig as it would be extremely confusing with all the wiring in there and hell to edit. I grabbed some pics of the case and mobo from newegg and used illustrator to drop in the parts where I see them going. Regardless of the size of the res I would...

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    I do indeed like that. Anyone have any experience with the DangerDen Block for the 4870x2? http://www.frozencpu.com/products/8138/ex-blc-519/Danger_Den_DD-4870-X2_ATI_4870_X2_VGA_Full_Card_Water_Block_GPU-6892.html?tl=g30c309s787#blank So the consensus seems to be either two independent...

    Looking for help with watercooling setup

    I currently am using a 38mm thick fan on the front and while it cost me around 25 dollars it is one of the quietest fans in my system. I will heed well your advice on the cpu circuitry, I am thinking of using a fan I have seen in some of TomsHardware builds. It has a flexible neck and you can...
