    Coil Whine or something else?

    Whenever I get up in the high 1000's of fps I hear a high pitched whine from my video card. Wondering if that could damage the video card in anyway. I usually play with vsync on, but Skyrim seems to have a stutter issue when it's turned on.

    Anyone using these fan filters?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811988015 No instruction came with them. Seems pretty self explanatory how to use. However, they don't seem to snap on over any of my 120mm fans so I had to screw them on -.-

    GTX 280 Temperature Issue

    This card has been good to me until I messed with it. I decided to clean out my case and redo the wiring and put new thermal paste on the cpu (1090T) which lowered my idle temp by about 7-8 degree's (33c Idle). Since that worked out so well I thought I might as well do the same with my video...

    Processor/Motherboard sandwich plate

    This probably isn't a new idea (though I have yet to find anything like it) and I'm sure that processor manufactures would most likely be against the idea because they would not make as much money in the rare case that a pin does break, but why not make a plate with pins on both sides to...
