Hi Guys, First time to water cooling and been searching quite a bit and this is what I've come down to and looking for some feedback. Current setup: Case - Lian Li pc-011 dynamic CPU - 9700K GPU - EVGA 2080TI FTW3 Hybrid Ultra Gaming Both the CPU and GPU are currently overclocked pretty...

Having a situation with my 9700K w/ my Aorus Pro motherboard I'm hoping I can get some perspectives on. So I've gotten my 5ghz (@1.35v) OC to pass 1) Prime95 (non-AVX) overnight, 2) TimeSpy Stress Test for 3dmark (EVGA Hybrid FTW3 2080ti OC'd), and 3) mem test for 8 hours (corsair ballistix...

Anyone put one on? I ordered the 980ti version off amazon. Heard install is a PITA.

Selling most of my deadly silent computer. Owned for 1 year. Moving to a mini case. Computer runs strong, silent, and stable. The cpu runs cool at 4ghz. Check out pics of bios and other utilities' pictures. Happy to answer questions. - Intel Core i5-4690k LGA 1150 Devil's Canyon Processor (Runs...

What are the down sides of getting the reference GTX 980 Ti (while it's in stock) and then slap on the HYBRID Water Cooler for $109 when it comes in stock? Is it that the reference TI has lower clock speeds?

So I have two Radeon 290 Tri-X OC vid cards and it appears that when I run an hdmi connection from either card to my TV (through a HDMI splitter box) the TV (as a sound device) doesn't appear until I pull the cable out, replug it in the back of the card, and reboot the computer. Without going...

So I had the opportunity to try a pair of GTX 770 4GB SLI vs a pair of Radeon Tri-X OC 290s 4GB XF and interestingly enough the GTX beat the Radeon by ~5FPS in Watch Dogs. 5 FPS might not seem like a lot but 1) I had to OC the Radeons to 1100/1300 to even get that delta and 2) every frame counts...

So I upgraded from GTX670 2GB Sli to Radeon 290 Tri-X OC XF. Of course the first thing I did was the synthetic benchmarks. Something goofy is going on - I'm getting paltry results from the upgrade. 3dmark 11: 670 SLI = 13,046 290 XF = 15,263 3dmark vantage: 670 SLI = 34,959 290 XF =...

Will a cooler master 700w silent power (Bronze 80) TWO Sapphire R9 290 4GB TRI-X OC in x-fire or do I need to upgrade the PSU? I'm not really looking to OC the cards. I'm finding a decent deal of $575 (used) for the pair - thoughts on that? My other option is going w/ 2 x 770gtx 4gb $600 new...

I'm selling my custom gaming rig that I used to play all the latest games at maxed settings on 1920x1200 resolution. This rig is super silent with aftermarket coolers unlike all those noisy machines. I've built another computer and want to sell this as a unit - $450 shipped. As you can see from...

So i have my rig connected to a dell 2408 (DVI 1 connection) and a vizio 37" tv (HDMI connection) using Win 7 x64 and a newly installed GTX 670 (on 304.79 drivers) . When I'm streaming to the Vizio, I like to turn off the dell so it's less distracting to have a large white screen next to the...

Just upgraded to the latest generation so unloading this rig. As you can see from the pictures the items are in excellent condition: Intel Processor - i7-860 ($150) P55 Motherboard - Gigabyte P55A-UD3 ($100) 5870 Video Card - Radeon 5870 + Accelero Cooler ($150) 1600mhz Ram - 16GB (4x4)...

Anyone know the difference between the 2 Gigabyte 670 cards (GV-N670WF2-2GD vs. GV-N670OC-2GD)? It seems the WF2 is newer. Does anyone know the difference? I think the OC has a higher clock but why is it cheaper?

Time to get a 27" monitor and stronger video card. Here is the link to the cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186046 Going for $150 on ebay figured a free cooler sweetens the pot

So my xfx has the arctic cooler twin turbo plus cooler on it. I believe i've installed it correctly (followed instructions). The issue I'm having is the fans don't seem to adjust in speed as heat goes up. CCC allows me to manually adjust the fan speed but I want it to happen automatically. I'm...

So I just bought a 5870 which is attached to both my lcd (for computing) and my plasma (for watching). I've come to grips with the fact that you can't ever have 2 sound outputs enabled and outputting at the same time (i.e. ATI HDMI output + Creative sound card or Creative sound card + Realtek...

I apologize in advance if this isn't the right forum but need to figure out what the sellable prices (forums and fleabay) are for the following pieces: C2D E6850 (G0; can easily get 3.5ghz on air) Thermalright Ultra 120 on the processor Gigabyte p35-DS3R Crucial Ballistic 4gb PC 8000...

Been googling this for some time but has anyone here been able to modify the cooler to fit on the 5850. Several posts mention how the dvi connector comes in the way. I was able to translate the following german review to get a glimpse as to how you'd modify the 5850 but the translation makes...

Guys, I'm planning an upgrade from my 8800gtx to either an 5850 or 5870 (leaning to this) mostly for BFBC2 gaming @ 1920x1200 at a good frame rate. I recently added an OCZ SSD to the rig and clearly have seen drastic improvements. Other than the SSD and the vid card, I really don't want to...

If so, is there some connector to run from sound card to video card? I want to tv-out to my plasma and hear/control the sound/volume through the tv vs the speakers. I have SB X-Fi music. According to the specs it mentions it for the hdmi but not the dvi: "Output protected high bit rate 7.1...

Here's my dilemma: Currently, I'm running video only (dvi-out) from my GTX 8800 to my 42" Panny (HDMI-in only) over a 25' ft dvi (female)-hdmi (male) cable. For sound, I have 2 of my rear speakers setup in 2.1 mode placed under the Panny connected to my SB X-Fi Music. I plan on...

I have the Realtek On board audio as well as the X-Fi Extreme Music soundcard. Can I use both sources and have them play sound at the same time?

Guys, For some reason, the same mic that worked well on a previous motherboard seems to struggle to capture my voice. I've updated to Realtek's latest driver (A401), run the calibration using Gigabyte's Audio Software and unless I'm on top of the mic, it doesn't capture it. I've turned the...

I have an hr-03 plus cooler installed on my Gigabyte P35-DS3, C2D E6850, 4x1gb Crucial Ballistix PC8500 (1066mhz), Corsair HX620 rig Temps & Scores are as following: Stock (575/900) 40C Idle 50C Load 3dmark 06 score - 10,824 Highest OC (670/1000) 51C Idle 68C Load 3dmark 06 score -...

Guys, Max I can seem to run my e6850 w/ my P35-DSR is 3.6ghz at 1.325V (9X400). After that no matter what I do (increase FSB incrementally, increase volts (NB and CPU) incrementally, or fiddle w/ my ram settings), I can't get it to be stable in either Orthos or OCCT. I really don't think temps...

Would love to see what others are getting these chips to on their gigabyte boards. Post your vcore, mhz, and temp pics here. My initial OC'ng has mine stable at 3.6 with very low temps. Will post more later.

just received it. Has a lot of machine marks/grooves and some weird grease mark? I haven't wiped it yet w/ rubbing alcohol but wanted to know if this base seemed good enough? I plan on OC'ng to the max ability of my 6850. thx

typical build question: installed a e6300, w/ a tuniq tower, evga gts 640, 2 pc's of crucial ballistic 1gb ram, with a corsair hx520 psu all on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3. All the components were worked when I plugged them first in and the system booted fine to bios. All I changed was the time...
