    GTX260 (192 cores) SLi with GTX260 Core 216?

    no big deal, and that psu you suggested wouldn't fit in my case without having to move my "front panel" usb/firewire/sound elsewhere. and i really don't want to dish out more money on a new power supply considering i just bought this one a month ago.

    GTX260 (192 cores) SLi with GTX260 Core 216?

    so if i were to SLi the 216 with the 192, one of the cards would only effectively use the 192? EDIT: i'm mostly concerned about my power supply, so i'm wanting to go with a gpu with a smaller die, and there is no news of there being a 55nm GTX260 with 192 cores

    GTX260 (192 cores) SLi with GTX260 Core 216?

    i haven't seen this question come up in the forum through searches, but i must ask Will a 65nm GTX260 with 192 cores (factory OC) SLI with a 55nm GTX260 Core 216? according to nVidia, an overclocked card can be mixed with a standard-clocked card to run SLi. --source...

    Some more info on 295 GTX

    beautiful. i'll be able to run one of these babies without having to get a bigger and badder psu. but if it turns out to be crap like the guys say the 9800 GT2 was, then i'll have to see about the 55nm GTX260...but then i might run into a cooling problem.

    Buy a GTX 260 for $220 today or wait?

    i'll probably have to wait til we get power consumption comparisons of the GTX260's vs GTX295... hopefully the 295 would use close to 2/3 the consumption of the 65nm GTX260's in SLi.

    Buy a GTX 260 for $220 today or wait?

    i'm running an MSI GF GTX260, and it's very nice and the cheapest card on NE. the week after i bought it, the price didn't change and it came with a copy of Rainbow 6 Vegas 2... oh well. the one thing i don't like about it is the size of the cards nowadays. put one in your case and it...

    new system!! help noob not fry cpu (neo 4 plat with amd 3500+) [pics]

    I'm running the MSI Neo4 Platinum (SLI model) but i am using a Thermaltake A1838 cooler. I happened to be lucky because my CPU HSF didn't require a special backplate; it worked with the one already on the mobo. first...The board DOES come with a backplate. second...I am pretty sure that all...

    Hdd Led like a mac?

    so you want the led to fire up instantly then fade out? or are you wasting your time here?

    Hdd Led like a mac?

    i got mine to work...bought stuff from radioshack... the breadboard was expensive (over 8 bucks), but it's nifty enough! i wasted $.69 on the wrong resisters so i say forget them! it works fine how i have it...

    Hdd Led like a mac?

    found one of those 4N35 optoisolators on an old isa modem card. it's all about figuring out which way everything goes from here on... EDIT: found a 22µF cap on the same card...imagine that!

    Gimme SUM MO-tors

    i'm disappointed at the lack of room in my case for my super microwave fan. the fan blade is 4.5" in diameter. i think i might make an external air filter similar to this guy's setup. here's what my fan looks like: i'm afraid mounting this to a plate might be a bit difficult...

    Hdd Led like a mac?

    usually when your comp is in suspend/stand-by, the light flashes already. i'm not an electrical engineer, but i think it might fade on and go off suddenly (assuming you are using the correct size of cap.

    Gimme SUM MO-tors

    i have a huge fan that came off a microwave, i'm not sure how i should go about installing it because it is a 120V/60Hz. i guess i should have saved the power input components from the microwave before i threw everything else out... anyone have any ideas on how to make this bad-boy run in my...

    Hdd Led like a mac?

    if anyone is having trouble finding these 100µF to 220µF, try looking in some cordless home phones. (all from garage sales ;) ) if you're like me, you have like 10+ phones in a box in the storage room. :D i pryed one of them open and found a couple 220µF 16v caps in there.
