Ok I tried my darnedest to live with it, but I can't be quiet any longer. I understand that [H]ardOCP and the [H]ard|Forum takes money to run. But man I can't stand the text advertisements that are in the post now. Of all forms of advertisement I truly hate this kind. The Newegg, Monarch...

Maybe Newegg is trying to help AMD mask their processor shortages by raising the prices. This has been done before, not necessisarly at Newegg. High prices creates a low demand, giving AMD more time to build up a supply of chips. This is how we do it in the automotive industry, and pretty much...

Keep it. Easier to Crossfire than to do Quad-SLi, might get better down the road but not at the moment. And who doesn't like the sweet red ATI PCBs. :p

HIS X1600Pro 512Mb $132,99, $112.99 after mail in rebate. Hard to bet that.

Nvidia is making them because the niche was too small, same reason ATI is now discontinuing the All in Wonder. On board sound has gotten much better than it was years ago and graphics cards now a days can output in the same formats as the AIW. So it isn't really needed anymore. Low sales and...

Everything does seem to have hit a limit here resently. Be it air cooling or water cooling. We just keep seeing larger heatsinks with more heatpipes in air cooling, and most water cooling taking after Swiftech at the moment. I think the future will be based on several factors. Either an...

You are not alone. I definetly think this thing, computer case if you will, looks ass ugly. Not nice ass but like gorilla ass. It looks like a lot of wasted space to me, but hey I'm sure there is a market for it out there somewhere.

I hit 24C on my Athlon 64 4000+ when the ambient was around 70-72F. So it might be right if your ambient is at 72F.

The really thick one you see people using is a phase change unit. The return tubing is in with the tubing going to the cpu. It works on the same principles as the inside of an air conditioner. I think this is what you're asking. I am by no means an expert on it, so hopfully some of our other...

I love this mod! Old school FTW! But what was the deal with your family and Betamax, VHS all the way lol. :p

Actually you can take tubing and aim them at the cpu, gpu, ram etc. . . so that the cool oil coming from the radiator blows straight on to the specific parts. If you look close at the Thinktank mod you can see it has them as well. With that said I don't know if it is better than water...

I believe that Nexus owns Yate Loon. I don't think they are relabels though. Anyone else remember?

The Lian-Li V series is awesome. Silverstone's TJ07 case is also nice. I'm a bigger fan of the Lian-Lis but the TJ07 is nice as well. The Lian Both have great cooling, you can't really go wrong. If you go with the Lian-Lis get the Plus II version. They have more fans and a better flow path. The...

Yeah I don't ever recall anyone saying that it was just distilled water in a heatpipe. You it would take 100C to vaporize, if you will remember back to your elementary school days. So my NB, SB and CPU all have to hit 100C before this works. :eek: I think not! If I recall right, heat pipes...

Ah.

Actually when I use Speedfan my Temp3 says -128C also. I thought it was just mine. :p Parently not!

Why 20mm thick, what is restricting it?

Question. Does anyone know who makes the 120mm fans that Lian-Li uses. I have three in my PC-V1000 and I love them. They move tons of air, and are super quiet. They have a low noise from the air they move. The Aerocool 120mm I have on the other hand not so quiet. It moves air but man is this...

Well let the search for SilenX fan reviews BEGIN!!!! But yeah I suggest using caution, I haven't seen any real reviews, just their own website and the sites that sell the fans. I'd love to see some reviews though. I hope it is atleast close to what they claim. Hell I'd still get one for 80cfm...

Wow your onboard sensors are bork. That is not right at all. You may want to give the manufacture a call. :confused: Try speedfan to see what the core says.

Yeah I figured, but I don't water cool so I wasn't really sure. Just kind of scray from my perspective. If you saw some of the sacraficial metal disk you would be afraid too lol.

I know! They cost more than your average fan though. :( This site has them on pre-order for $19.95. But most have them for $24-25.

I just saw these fans in another thread. SilenX, they aren't out yet. But there is a 72cfm at 14dBa version. Man 90cfm at only 18dBa, I can't wait to get my hands on atleast one of these. If not four of them. :D

The site has a list of resellers on it. 90cfm 18dBa But they aren't out yet.There is a very nice 72cfm at 14dBa version already out though. :D Almost too nice to wait for the 90cfm at 18dBa version, almost.

HOLY CRAP!!!! :eek: Where do I sign up for these. I must have them.

Nice mod, I love stopping by and seeing how it changes. But uh, just one question. What about galvanic corrosion due to the two different types of metal you are using in your loop, the copper and aluminum. In the boating world to help stop galvanic corrosion we add a small "sacraficial...

I like it. I love being able to see all the stuff in my case, and what better way to do that then use a test rig. I just wish it had a couple more 120mm fan mounts. :p I bet stuff gets dusty though.

Not a bad case. The inside looks strong enough. The outside looks nice. Although I could do without the name down the front. WTF is Smilodon anyway. I say get it.

Nice case! I love the color combo, very nice.

Bleh I don't like it. I'll be sticking to my PC-V1000 Plus II. Too big, and not enough Lian-Li styling that we have come to know. It just looks like two Lian-Lis smashed together.

I'm not saying that you aren't correct. I agree with the V1-Ultra and ASUS's silent line of graphics cards, as the heat pips would point straight down. WIth heat liking to rise this probably wouldn't be very good AT ALL. But I was refering to the ASUS motherboards, I've seen a lot of people run...

I'm pretty sure you can get a fan duct that runs from the heatsink to your rear exhaust fan. Just have to look it up online.

Well then there are a lot of people in this forum that are going to be disappointed to hear that their rigs aren't working well after all this time. :p When you say ASUS heatpipe video cards, do you mean the completely passive cards they have because I could see them not working properly. But...

Lol this is a common question. I think ATI should put waring stickers on the boxes. :p

Are you saying your 850XT can? :confused:

LMAO good god man! Head for the store now, post back once you get it. :p

Well, that part all comes down to you. :cool: Glad we could help you narrow down your choices.

I think that this would orient the tower heatsinks to blow out the back of your case then. You might want to go with them. IIRC that is lol. Not sure about the ram clearances. I'll try and find out. Edit: You can change which way the Infinity faces, so you should be good.

Also, if you are concerned about weight. The Infinity is 960g, the Ninja is 815g, and the SI-128 is 510g. The SI-128 is near identical cooling but ways 305g less than the Ninja, and 450g less than the Infinity. :eek: Wow I didn't think they weighed that much more.
