    Really quick 4890 question

    or just run furmark at a nice oc for a few minutes to get it nice and toasty, quick shutdown, flip, and peel away! =)

    PCI-E Video card w/ HDMI Output, need suggestions!

    depends on the gaming, but why not a 4770 if you're concerned about power consumption? very strong in this respect, less heat at the 40nm process if you have a strong enough psu, why not a 4890 instead of a 4870? roughly the same power consumption, and stronger card, and less heat inside your...

    Toyota Prius +2004 phase-change cooling system?

    so ummmm... besides it not being an "air" conditioner anymore, my biggest question is: are you going to be building a new heat exchanger to reject heat from your cpu/gpu loop to the prius AC coolant loop? sounds hard, and im an engineer developing heat exchangers for a living...

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    if it's the reference cooling design on that card, try moving the fan power cable a bit.

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    Are you referring to Table 2-8 and Figure 2-3? If so, I was trying to figure that out as well. I would assume that current (Icc) would vary with load. However, it states max current is 145A and of course TDP is 125W. Were one to use these numbers to determine a voltage it would be quite...

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    vengeance, that doesn't seem to say that intel doesn't legally support a processor being run inside max. absolute limits, only that there is a risk of damage, which i think we all understand. the intel guideline was referenced as being something to abide by if one wanted to be legal about the...

    Intel Core i7 920 Overclocking and Heat @ [H]

    I'm a mechanical guy. So definitely not comfortably at home with Intel's datasheet, but doesn't Table 2-6, page 22, state Vcore max (Vcc in Intel's lingo?) is 1.55v? In this case, it is not only generally accepted but also Intel accepted?

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    i guess not many are interested. in case anyone pulls this up though, i submitted a ticket to xfx for the rattling/ticking and was told to gently tug the fan power cable away from the fan. lo and behold it worked and is obvious that's the problem as moving it around while powered on can...

    XFX Radeon 4890 consistent ticking sound.

    just got my system up and running with this card. there is a definite ticking/rattling with my fan. it is dependent upon fan speed. except, it is mostly gone above 33-35% and completely gone by 40%. simply upping the minimum speed isnt an acceptable solution since it's too loud for...

    panzerbox: i like the look of this but it's gotta be hot in there (esp around the GPUs) http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/nzxt_panzerbox_/3.htm i'm not sure i trust the thermal results on the next page. hdds block the big front intake, psu blocks the side of the gpu, cables block the...

    IO Shield RJ45

    Antec 200

    Wow, it is pretty ugly. Wonder what it would look like just to cut the 'web' out and just put a big mesh screen there. Also, no front audio? Those are Power/HDD LEDs next to the USB, right? I'm less interested now.

    Antec 200

    Looks interesting: http://www.tweaktown.com/news/12417/antec_200_gaming_case_reduces_price_not_features/index.html Can't really see the case to judge aesthetics from the lighting in the video. But looks manageable. Front fans look to be 90mm, though... Wonder what the price would be here.

    Battle of the Budget Cases

    Wow. Cooler Master has got to be mad. As a guy who has been looking at the Cooler Master 690 since I don't want to spend on a nice AL case, Xigmatek looks immediately recognizable. It's black on the inside, I may just have to consider it. Upsets me that I could deign to support such a...

    Gigabyte EX58-UD5 [H]

    Tri-SLI or CFX on this board, how? Since most cards nowadays are dual slot, how would 3x dual slot cards fit? Have to buy a special case? By my count, you'd need 8 slots. For reference, applicable to UD4P, UD5, EXTREME:

    Affordable, Cool, Black, Aluminum. Where?

    i had found that iceberg case after a few replys, it seems to be bigger than the adamas. not quite just a rebranding. but i hadn't hear of the adamas until you mentioned it. it looks good, one review scared me by saying their gfx card didn't fit but they had a much longer one than i do...

    Affordable, Cool, Black, Aluminum. Where?

    i like the price of the pc7 but not the front fan grill, beggars can't be choosers of course. i found sundial micro also the other day. both luckily and unluckily they are local, no shipping charges vs. taxes. ill keep an eye out on their products and also on the fs/ft/hot deals section...

    Affordable, Cool, Black, Aluminum. Where?

    being that these are primo cases, do these ever get deeply discounted? while not in the same class, i've seen reports of people buying cases for very little compared to retail. for example, from 07 or 08 where people bought cooler master 690's for $20-$30 while they're retailing now for...

    that's a nice one, too. right now i have an old antec that i'll probably use until i find a great deal. so i'm not in a rush. do you think that ft01 offers alot more than this: http://www.axiontech.com/prdt.php?item=80417 alu front, rest is steel

    Affordable, Cool, Black, Aluminum. Where?

    I'm building a system and am having trouble deciding on a case. I thought I had narrowed my choice down to a HAF 922, which seems to have a lot going for it (I don't mind the look). Especially, it is getting favorable attention for ease of use and cooling. Before I pull the trigger on...

    ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 vs GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5

    chosen the gigabyte, still looking for a good deal on one... the expansion slots seem to allow more configs than the p6t (deluxe) would; both are polished, though. ud5 & ud4p are both viable for me. probably won't be watercooling, so i don't think the extreme is worth it.

    cool, if that's the only issue, that may be a go then another site did a review of the evga x58 sli with sli gtx 280 oc's, conclusion was indiscernable difference between 16x-16x vs 16x-8x: here

    ASUS P6T Deluxe @ [H]

    how about one in blue pciex16 and one in black pciex16? hopefully i can get all the usb, 1394, etc. connects under the last card in the black slot. or is this not possible for some reason? that way i'd be leaving open a pciex4 (black), pci (white, left), and a pciex16 (white) for the...

    ASUS P6T Deluxe @ [H]

    i am liking this mobo based on reviews; however, i'm wondering a few things. note: the first and last computer i built was around 2002. single agp vid card, pci soundcard, cpu, hook it all up, done using this picture for reference: are these motherboards designed around having a dual...
