I'm going to do some testing with the fan for the other card turned down to 50%, i probably won't post anymore screenies, but I'll post the temp results.
I used them all up trying to perfect the positioning.
After adding all other ramsinks, the loctite444, and adjusting the zipties slightly:
Temps at idle:
Temps at "load", BFBC2 @ 1920x1200 @ 16xAF 16xSSAA(i think read below), Vsync was turned on by accident (and I meant to write 60-63deg max...
Excuse my poor pics and poor hosting choice!
The system all together (minus that ramsink that decided to fall off due to my poor usage of thermal adhesive):
A close up inside the case, blurry:
The card overhead, showing my ghetto zipties:
A side view, notice how clean I am with those...
I'll probably throw some on to reinforce the zipties, I have Loctite 444 which states "for printed circuit board assembly", and has a thermal conductivity of only 0.11 so i'll minimize the use of it...
EDIT3: Added pics, scroll down!
This is a work in progress, but I wanted to give you guys the lowdown on my very much WIP of modding a Corsair H60 watercooler (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181015) to work on my 6870 MSI Twin Frozer II...
Piracy won't matter nearly as much years to come as every major release will be "on the cloud" or "always connected". Basically every company will be "big brother" and they will be watching. Hackers/Piraters will have to get much better than a simple CD Key Gen or a Crack... They'll have to...
You should look on the XNA forums about setting up a Dual Boot, or having a rooted/non-stock OS on a fast SD Card.
Rooted, OC'd stock is probably the best for no-hassle usage.
I'd like to see The Witcher 2 added as a benchmark (though there are issues with both nvidia and ati cards atm). Its an extremely beautiful game on a unique engine and I think would provide some great insight into the more modern features/performance of GPU's.
it does not have on included jordan. The usb plugs into the bottom, so there is a good chance that someone has/will make one.
There is a pretty large community of modders on this device specifically, and it has proven extremely useful as a PDF viewer (wiring diagrams, technical manuals ).
And...
I jumped on the $50 ebay coupon a few days ago, had some trouble with the rooting ( i was getting greedy and trying to dual boot), for the life of me can't get APK to work (my windows refuses to let me install its own drivers, no matter what settings I change / messing with device manager)...
Apparently the OP built his in early 2010, so many of those parts weren't nearly that cheap... but for someone trying to copy this guy, that is a great $1k rig. And if you don't like 3x screens, replace it with one 22-24in.
its also a babysitting service.
i think most parents don't want to send their kids to a camp that will likely make them fatter, unless they are total tools to their kid's demands.
I looked into it more and you're correct. I've been away for two weeks (away from access to internet at all) and my initial reading of the story made it sound as though it either: A. was 310 no matter what or B. Was BoA and scaled to 310 even on your characters you didn't earn 310 on.
That...
Actually, mounts in the game have different speed ratings, and before this horse came out you needed to do a significant achievement in game to receive one with the fastest speed rating , "a 310 mount". You either had to do very well in the PvP (Arena) game or very well in the PvE game...
i prefer Terrance Howard. Far better actor. He actually knows how to be serious...and actually speak fluently in American English....which is you know.. important... being an American in the film.... not broken british slang tongue.
What job does a mac do well that a pc doesn't ?
( note: its 2010, the photoshop argument is a dead one. )
To me, buying a mac with the intentions to game / mod / tweak / whatever is purposely crippling yourself. You are buying a sedan to do a pickup truck's job. Furthermore, the...
And your wife and I could power the whole city !
zing!
just kidding.
I could see this tech powering a bluetooth or a music player... anything more than that would probably involve some stupidly large + heavy battery pack. ( stupidly large being anything larger than a D-cell, imo )
I propose that a mac owner ( and solely a mac user ) could ever consider themselves [H]ard. The entire idea of the mac goes against the entire idea of what this site is about. ( modding, tweaking, building, benching, OC'ing, accidently freezing in a barrel of liquid nitrogen-ing ).
eh ...
That sucks that there is no longer any spark in your life/soul/being that you feel that you don't need/want to experience *any* new music.
Even my grandmother comments to me from time to time about stuff she hears that is new/interesting to her.
Why do people insist on buying crap like:
When the only thing most radio stations play is:
?
Advertising of new + good music by :GASP: playing it on the air ( not just satellite radio ) would improve sales dramatically.
Some people hate indie music, or specifically the "idea" of indie...
I dunno if you guys read kotaku... but they do this stuff all the time.. Constant de ja vu.
Ya'll should read your own website(s), its pretty damn good.
I was listening to CBC3's comments on the "talk" they got from the olympics commission lawyers. They aren't even allowed to SAY certain phrases during the games, and printed/televised phrases such as "the games" "the olympics" "the winter games" "the games in canada" etc etc aren't allowed...
