I have done a new micro atx build with the silverstone sg10 case. I love the case, but as is the issue with SFF I'm have an issue with heat running a GTX 970 SLI setup. The top card quickly gets up to 90c and throttles. One way to keep heat down would be to undervolt the cards. The issue is that...

Have you tried Left 4 Dead? L4D2 is on sale right now for $9.99

Can you post a pic of it? I'm helping a friend build the exact some system I have...I'm curious as to the benefits of the way you installed your H50.

Hey Rhyme, are you using the displayport cable that came with the monitor?

I'm not why you are choosing an hx650W (though I know corsair makes good stuff), but I went with the Silverstone st70f because you can buy a short cable kit that makes a huge difference when dealing with such a small space. In the picture is a Tagan 1100w which fits, but is just way too much...

Both fans intake and the PSU fan helps in exhaust. But I recently upgraded to a 5870 vid card and the bottom fan has to be removed or replaced with a slim 120mm fan.

So I have specs as in sig (MY COMP) and I am seeing flickering triangles when in direct sunlight. When the sun is down I'm not seeing any flickering triangles, but when the sun is up it starts. Its also only when tessellation is ENABLED I'm running Cats 9.10 and have never OCed the card, so...

Double Lifetime Warranty...higher resale value

Thanks Attila for putting forth the effort to give some actual testing to end speculation. I so want to try your exact build. Will conquer any game on a 30" except for Crysis. But, for now I'll have to settle for my slightly larger mATX build.

I'm feeling lucky!

What program to use to flash to Asus bios?

Nvidia is dumb...why the hell would they disable PhysX when an ATI card is present :confused: Because of this thread (revealing the mod), I will probably go and buy a 9800gt so that I can run PhysX. But, if Nvidia would just coop with ATI and not given them the palm...more ATI users would...

hmmm...why the choice to use both after burner and amd gpu oc tool?

What did you use to get your volts to 1.274?

So my next question is...what program should I use to flash a 5870? Has anyone tried to flash a 5870 yet?

Awesome...Just found this: http://downloads.guru3d.com/AMD-GPU-Clock-Tool-v0.9.26.0-For-HD-5870-download-2383.html I'll check it out and report back...

Thanks NKD...yeah, I'm curious to see the ASUS results from OCing with Voltage Tweaking. Its not that the 5870 doesn't already slaughter every game except for Crysis...its just the goal of having a 1ghz card! And a little curious to see what affect it has on Crysis.

Looks like none of the utilities specify if they support RV870 chip. They list other chips, but not this one...never flashed a vbios before so kinda hesitant. Don't want to brick a 2 day old card.

Where would I find an Asus bios?

So, I go an XFX 5870 off of newegg. I know that ASUS has their own volt tweaking software, but I wanted the double lifetime warranty. Anyone know how to software volt tweak a 5870? I want to do a slight bump in voltages to be able to reach the 1khz mark :) I assume it can be done in...

Ordered XFX 5870 from newegg yesterday afternoon..."Out for Delivery" according to UPS!

I have this huge PSU in a small Sugo case. This is way too much PSU for my needs. Asking $115 shipped --- or Trade for a SilverStone ST70F 700W PSU PSU is in perfect working condition with cable bag and gloves. The only mod I did was change out the fan guard with a custom guard to reduce...

Ok, so this thread took a detour to online availability of the Corsair HX520. Which, as far as I can tell, doesn't support short cables. Anyways, still haven't heard as to other PSU manufacturers that make short cable accessories or sell PSU's with short cables.

the 135mm PSU fan pulls heat away from the DIMMs and Northbride. The NB was initially an issue, but all it took was flipping the PSU around and adding an exhaust fan at the top/back of the case. DDR3 only runs at a max of 1.65 volts...so it is much cooler than DDR2. As you can see in my...

tvih...Yes the top front fan. Or you can mod a 120mm fan opening on the top of the case towards to rear. All depends on how you design your airflow. This is how I have mine configured:

Use this calculator to see how many watts your current configuration uses and how much headroom you have.

You either have to have the PSU plugged into a Motherboard or short it out.... Here is how to start your PSU without a motherboard: http://www.dvhardware.net/articles5.html
