mine was making the buzzing noise. took the amp out and sure enough the BASH board/chip was making a high pitch, hissing noise. so i wiggled the whole board a bit.. and bam.. fixed... haha.. ghetto as fix but hey it works for now. I'll replace the whole bash board once it breaks for good...

I've just about ran every single torture test, stress test, graphics test... etc and all of them passed without a hitch for 48 hours.. But I'm still having hanging issues. I've just replaced this MB from MSI that i F'ed up on the bios update and did a fresh Vista64 install. Even at stock...

never thought that.. coo stuff.. I just use 15mil think 3m Thermal conductive tape

thermally conductive tape is hard to find.. ebay is your best bet

i have that LG monitor.. it kicks ass.. plus it's NOT a TN pos panel

how are these rads compared to other rads from swiftech and black ice?

You can look at my sig of what setup I have. I'm thinking of adding another mcr220, but i dont' think it will drop the temps all that much

Here's a tip about O-ring sealing 1. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN 2. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN 3. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN 4. use a form of lubricant for surfaces that touch the O-ring (water will do) most problem with O-ring seal has to do with overtightening and deforming the O-ring. your barbs should...

only reason thermo chill is good is because is 2X thick as mcr320.. I bet 2 MCR20's stacked on top of one another would just as good if not better.

if all your sticks are showing same type of behavior, seems to me it's either the MB or ram timing settings. what do you have your ram timing set at? I had similar problems where auto mobo ram timing settings was not compaitble with Gskill's, i had to manually set. another is that you...

All 6 of my yate loon from Petra make wining noise at 60%. they need at least 65% to be quite. One of the 6 of the petra's fan is not balanced so it is louder than all others. Personally. I think it's quality control issue. J-T might have gotten a bad production run order and petra...

get the 4gb Gskill ddr1000 set,, you won't be disapointed

Well when I just had ram sinks on my 8800GT, I was getting artifacts right away with anything over 750/1850. but I found that back of the PBC got pretty hot around the mosfets. So I put a large piece of 3M thermal adheasive tape and heat sinks and was able to get another 39mhz off the core and...

newegg's got unbeatable prices on swiftech stuff if they have it in stock, i just check nothing left.. i suggest jab-tech or petrastech both great shops to order from

use a low tac double sided foam tape. Taht's what comes wit my apogee GT back plate. it has just enough tac to stay on the mobo. when I had air tower cooler I had the same problem so I cut a square on the mb tray so I have rear access to hold the bracket.

I managed to my hands on the 3M thermal tapes. and I have to say they are quite effective. If anyof you have problems with your existing ram sink adheasive like *cough* Swiftech. this tape is a great replacement. only thing it it's expensive. I think performance-PC sells them for $3 for...

my E6750 at 3.8 with 8800GT get's 13900

I'll definitely see temps go down for the next few days but right now i'm seeing 55c Coretemp on Prime95 large FFT with 22c ambient. it's about 3c drop from non-lapped cured AS5 temps. I'm expecting another 2-3c drop after AS5 has cured. not bad with 1.6v on dualcore

just do a search here for lapping. you'll get many guides and links. after reading some guides most agree that after 600grit performance gain is very minimal. so i just used 320git and 600grit. with 320 it took about 60 up and down passes on both directions to remove all the zinc coating ...

from personal experience they're very close after 100 hours after AS5 has cured.

well I just lapped with 320 grit and then 600 grit. It was so easy it's not even funny. took less then 20 minutes. now to let the AS5 settle and see how well this lapping works.

just do it ^^^ X2

I'm starting to rethink my adivse. has there been a test done with multiple blocks with different hose? I've seen many comparison done with just 1 block but not with 2 or 3. And since the flow/pressure graph is a curve graph, I'm starting to think that there may be a differnce if you add up...

I would pay few bucks extra for pre-sli ready with caps. But i won't pay a cent for one that isn't

I have the MCP655.. have it on full setting and dont' hear it with my case closed up. at setting 4 I can't hear it above my yate loons at 9v. with case open

glad you had good luck with your swifty's sinks but i had mine fall off my 8800card, I didn't want to use glue and make it a permanant solution, So right now my case is upside down and using AS5 to hold the ram sinks until i get the 3M 8815 thermal tape I'd be afraid of those ram sinks...

DO NOT GET SWIFTECH RAM SINKS. ok now calmly.. they suck.. well the adheasive sucks and ramsinks will fall off your vid card.. get enzio ones from petrastech. they come with 15min 3M tape which are much better.

IMO noise reduction isn't the reason you should be going water cooling. there are much cheaper ways. I went WC because i like modding my computer, like overclocking, and testing the limit. And consider it an investement. I knew initial investment was going to be a alot but I'll always be...

well mine is Dual core but at 1.6v 3.8ghz. i get 60-65c load in large FFT prime95. and 36-40c idle my room ambiet is about the same as yours and i have 8800GT in the loop as well After running CS:source for 2 hours i get a delta of 10c for CPU and delta of 2c for GPU my watercooled...

go with ID 3/8th tubing.. no temperature difference and WAY easier to bend. get some herbie clamps.

i thought full blocks have better flow? Anyways. like you said it's not your flow, but your video card ram/mosfet getting too hot I had the same problem.. my computer would stall for no reason.. found out that my mosfet and ram was getting too hot.. sizzleing. What ramsinks are you using...

well he said 30-32c liquid temp.. so your cPU temp seems from from improper contact. try remounting..

from what I understand scythe Tunic tower is dense fin configuration? and you'll need more static pressure fan. s-flex do not provide enough static pressure i believe. could be wrong. try putting on medium speed yateloon on just the CPU cooler,. which has more static pressure. and you won't...

I think you do for his application. to just use the MCW60 you dno't but to combine it with the D-tech unisink you do. from the pictures unisink sits on top of the 4 GPU block mounting screw holes. Either you have to cut the unisink or use the G80 adapter. I could be wrong.

Headhunter, I thought of that too. but here's the problem. MCW60 will bend your card no matter how careful you are with screws,in order to put enough pressure against the GPU, 1. if that heatsink is perfectly flat. then you'll run in to contact poblems. 2. mosfets are not perfectly even...

i read a few reviews on the Dtek-uni sinks. none of them were good. I suggest going with either cheaper option of running individual ram sinks and mosfet sinks or running a full face cooler

we also spend time designing cars with cloth/leather on top, while europe designs cars that go zoom-zoom on autobahn

So I got sick of buying expensive overpriced barbs from online retailers and found this www.colder.com/Portals/0/pdfs/NPT.pdf http://pipeandhose.com/?q=node/1 ########################################### There are two basic types of National pipe threads: NPT: National Pipe Taper...

Same here.. couple of days ago my computer kept crashing.. found that 2 of my ram sinks were hannging off by threads.. litterally.. it's cheaper here http://www.jab-tech.com/D-Tek-UNI-Sink-nVidia-8800-GT-GTS-G92-512MB-pr-4147.html i've had good experience with them.

I have a high overclocked E6750 1.6v and 8800GT on 1 2.120 radiaor and it's fine. He said light overclock. So one 3.120 radiator with 3 yateloons at 7v. the dont' turn anything below 7v. MCP655 at max setting is silent in P182 case. so no worries there. You need to modify your case to...
