    My friend give me this offer, should I bite or not? Before you start, no, it is not a scam :D My friend is extremely rich and he just upgraded to i7 965, leaving an once-$1299 chip in his drawer. I told him I am interested and he gave me this offer without any hesitation. To give you an...

    Problem running OCZ3P20002GK at its spec speed

    it is at 100, and as i found out already, it is a ram issue instead of a pcie or gfx xard issue

    Problem running OCZ3P20002GK at its spec speed

    I have completed my new build, see my sig for HW spec and current OC setting It is completely stable at 425 x 9.5, RAM is L&S at 1700MHz. No graphic issue, or any issues for that matter. But once I raise FSB to 430, I have all kind of graphic issue. Even the 3D setting preview box in the...

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    ok bursted! it is the ram. i unlinked it and set it at below 1700 mhz, then i can overclock as far as my cpu / my watercooling / my own nerve can take... but the question remains... how to take my ram to its spec-ed speed of 2000mhz?

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    I haven't touch the PCI-E MHz in BIOS.... or is the value relative to FSB, similar to the RAM Frequency setting in some BIOS ?

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    It is completely stable at 425 x 9.5, RAM is L&S at 1700MHz. No graphic issue, or any issues for that matter. But once I raise FSB to 430, I have all kind of graphic issue. Even the 3D setting preview box in the Nvidia Control Panel has flickers and artifacts. And it will crash within...

    E8500 + Striker 2 Extreme + OCZDDR3-2000, OC problem

    I have completed my new build, see my sig for HW spec and current OC setting I found that I can OC much higher, I can set RAM to 1800MHZ and CPU to 450 x 9.5 = 4285 MHz with VCore = 1.43v in BIOS. This is Orthos stable for at least 12 hours, but I can't do any gaming or porn watching, or...

    Do I need to watercool Striker 2 Extreme?

    I will upgrade to this MB soon, I have my CPU and SLI watercooled now and I will do the same in my new rig. And I do overclock. I hope to go as far as my new Q9450 permits My question is, should I watercool the motherboard also? It already comes with a chipset block, but due to its...

    OCZ Platinum DDR3-2000 for Asus Striker 2 Extreme?

    ok, so you actually suggest me to go for 1800 MHz instead of 2000MHz? it is a 790i's problem that it can't work with 2000 MHz properly? but isn't that support for 2000MHz a strong point for 790i? so is it actually a OCZ memory's issue? or there is a compatibility issue between 790i and OCZ ram...

    OCZ Platinum DDR3-2000 for Asus Striker 2 Extreme?

    I am planning for my build, 2 components are confirmed so far, they are Q9450 and Asus S2E. Now I am thinking about RAM. I planned to spend some money but after all these years in the OCing game I have learned to spend sensibly. My favorite brand name is Corsair, but their DDR3 modules are...

    External Watercooler Prototype

    Now I am thinking about the cabling. The single-cable approach is very good, but it is very time consuming to make. The whole cabling system is being built with "raw" materials...power cords, D-Sub plugs, Electronic boards, jumper plugs, etc.....and there are more than 100 solder joints....Do...

    External Watercooler Prototype

    As I said, it is a prototype. just like those exotic concept cars you see in a trade show. The purpose of building this prototype is to prove my design concept, and also to build a really good watercooling solution for my PC at the same time. So I spend somewhat ridicous amount of money, and...

    External Watercooler Prototype

    I think I will make one or two design changes before I can finalize it as a mass production version. Most proably changing from BIGTX480 to TCPA120.3, to reduce the overall size. DDCs are running by itself, but their RPM are monitored by Aquaero And yes I am getting back my own camera to...

    SLI Blocks in parallel arrangement??

    I have done an experiment, hmm, surprise surprise.... First, see my setup: an EK res and 2 EK blocks, all in my bathroom fill the res with a running tap Water run out from both blocks Use a bottle to measure the flow both blocks need 15 seconds to fill a 500ml bottle...

    SLI Blocks in parallel arrangement??

    so can I connect my EK block in the way I suggested? seem the primary block will have NO flow, but the law of fluid dynamics say water will flow from high pressure to low pressure, so the flow for both block will be the same, because they have the same water resistance. Or am I correct?

    SLI Blocks in parallel arrangement??

    This photo, which comes with the Swiftech Stealth's annoucment, caught my interest.... it will make tube management much easier... but performance-wise is it actually a good way to go? In Swifech's annoucment it also mentioned that this parallel arrangement can also improve flow rate of the...
