    A quick look at the Sapphire Tri-X Vapor-X (R9 280x)

    Yep I meant solder/circuitry/etc. Oh, wow. Then there's two more differences there between the Toxic Tri-X and the Vapor-X Tri-X. Check out the backplate and VRM sinks on the new R9 280x (100363TXSR): Ah, nice. Make sure those fans are okay @ 100% fan speed, lol I wonder if it's a % or if...

    A quick look at the Sapphire Tri-X Vapor-X (R9 280x)

    Lol, what? What fans did you replace it with? Specs on stock fans? The magic with the VRM cooling is on the back of the PCB. It has individual metal ridged heatsinks on each VRM. Get a fan moving air past those and you have nothing to worry about. BTW, does your Vapor-X Tri-X have a backplate...

    A quick look at the Sapphire Tri-X Vapor-X (R9 280x)

    That was one of the reasons I pulled out of buying this card. I noticed the gap between the input grill and the heatsink was different than the Toxic. It appeared that the HSF on the Vapor-X Tri-x is slightly thinner/different than the normal Toxic Tri-X. Notice the gap in the pic below...

    A quick look at the Sapphire Tri-X Vapor-X (R9 280x)

    FML. I cancelled my backorder on this card a few weeks ago and paid top dollar for Sapphire's supposed top of the line 280x in the R9 toxic (100363TXSR). It came with Elpida memory, which is inferior to the Hynix memory the OP has in his Vapor-X model. Memory is the most important aspect of a...

    I have an external USB drive (Seagate Free Agent 500GB) connected to a Dell XPS2 Laptop running XP SP2. When I attempt to power on the machine with the USB drive connected, the bios attempts to boot off of the USB drive and the system hangs at a black screen with a blinking cursor, requiring a...

    DVD drive powering off for no reason

    My dvd drive keeps powering off if I leave it idle for more than 5 mins. It removes itself from the device manager as if it was never there. When I reboot it, it works fine until I leave it idle again and then the same thing happens.
