It almost fits. See the attached image. The red boxes are the part where the heatsink overlaps board components (chokes in this case), presumably because the 1080 Ti has more of these than the 1080. Other than that, the mounting looks like it'll fit perfectly. I'm inclined to try cutting the...

I hadn't, but nice find! I haven't verified, but from the image it looks like it should fit the 1080 Ti FE, not just 1080/1070. I'll order one and test.

Ahhh, they're not available on the Europe store (just checked with a proxy, since Arctic's site uses geolocation and doesn't have an override option without registration). They're in stock on the US store.

Arctic's site is stupid. The heatsinks disappeared from the "spare parts" tab on one page load, then reappeared when I opened a new private browsing tab (Safari isolates every tab). Here's a direct link: https://www.arctic.ac/us_en/heatsink-accelero-twin-turbo-ii.html?___SID=U. (As with...

That's true. The FE cooler uses the same concept, but the entire frame (including blower assembly) is one piece, so there's more metal area on that. Sorry! They're under the "Spare parts" tab, listed as "Accelero Twin Turbo II - Heatsink." I should have noticed that the URL doesn't change when...

Thanks for all the responses! Yep, I bought the III. The IV's backside VRM cooling solution looked more like a gimmick than an effective cooling solution. I was referring to the main (front) heatsink assembly on the FE cooler. While the entire FE cooler frame is a single piece of metal (with...

I'm replacing my 1080 Ti FE cooler with an Accelero and trying to find the best VRM/VRAM cooling solution. The Accelero includes basic RAM and VRM sinks, which will work but are going to be a pain to install properly, and there's the additional failure mode of thermal tape failure. The FE...

In the past and on other boards, I've set LLC to "disabled," which presumably means "Intel spec behavior." On this board, Asus doesn't provide an obvious "disabled"/"Intel spec" option; instead, the options are "auto" and "levels" ranging from 1 to 7. The setting description within the BIOS...

Looks like it is available on Twitter, just wasn't retweeted on the Amex account (which is where I looked) until later: https://twitter.com/Newegg/status/542017030657175552. That means the offer should be available with Serve and Bluebird accounts as well (and Serve accounts can have 4...

Edit: looks like this is available to everyone. It is also available via Twitter: https://twitter.com/Newegg/status/542017030657175552. (See https://sync.americanexpress.com/twitter/Index for details on that.) This means Serve and Bluebird accounts should be eligible as well, and Serve allows...

Thanks for that. It seems there is still some conflicting information on this from various different sources (and the older Haswell overclocking articles, from the IDF presentation, don't specify anything about the actual SKUs), but I'm inclined to trust Anand. BCLK straps seem pointless now...

Seems that nobody knows (understandable considering no reviewers AFAIK have reviewed the Xeons, and it seems retail stores aren't carrying them so the earliest anyone will get them is Tuesday). I'm going to wait until tonight and if nobody has an answer, I'll order a 1230v3 from Newegg (seems...

The Haswell Xeons are up on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116906 (E3-1230v3) Has anyone heard if it's possible to OC these with BCLK straps, or are they disabling that like with 2011 Xeons? (It's between that and the 4770; my next CPU is going to have...

FurMark gets throttled by the drivers. IIRC Kombustor is a rebranded FurMark. ArmA 2 tends to be CPU-bound although it depends on the exact settings.

Force that phone to roaming and I guarantee they will. (Check the terms of your data plan first; I'm pretty sure it's unlimited data in the US, but it's probably worth checking to avoid any surprises.)

I'm unable to install or run any newer Linux (Ubuntu 11.04 works; 12.04 didn't) with X properly, or OS X, due to an ACPI issue with my board. Windows 7 works fine. Here's what happens: Ubuntu 12.04 - if installed (possible using the alternate installation disc which is a text-based...

Yep. At least if you pirate them, you know EA can't take them away from you. (I'm not condoning piracy, but rather just trying to make a comparison.)

No, I haven't been banned.

Again, I wasn't suggesting that. I was simply pointing out that they have that option. The most practical solution to a misbehaving forum user would be to ban them from the forums. EA can't have it both ways. They can either take the money and provide the game, or refund the money and take...

I doubt this would fly with newer games like Battlefield 3 that require Battlelog (and the corresponding EA account access) for even single player. Of course, there's only one way to find out. Another issue would be digital distribution services like Origin. I suspect most BF3 players...

Because some of these people will purchase the games again.

Right... before taking their money. This is along the lines of paying someone $50 to mow your lawn, and them saying "sorry, I can deny service to any customer" without refunding you. It doesn't fucking matter. EA has no right to disable a customer's access to their paid for products, with no...

Then they can ban those customers from their forums. Unless EA intends on providing full refunds of each product, removing access to those products (even the single player portion) is completely unacceptable.

Small claims court wouldn't be a bad option. Or, if you only have newer games on your account (BF3 for example), chargeback. Most banks only allow you to chargeback within 2-3 months of the purchase however. EA is going to get fucked if they continue with this.

There's a good chance this specific individual will be having some of that in the near future, but I doubt it will be willing. (As in, he's taken things WAY too far - and committed several cybercrimes with DDoS attacks, botnets, keyloggers, etc.) I know some will probably say having someone...

December 15th with an MSRP of $220. (Source: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Seasonic/P1000/9.html)

As an ArmA server administrator, I care about that. Why? Because it adds a barrier to entry. When you ban someone for hacking (and given the open nature of ArmA, that is pretty common), it's nice to know they'll have to pay $20 to buy a new CD key. The only exception is the idiot who has...

I agree, and BI does an excellent job at that. While I haven't played TKOH, their other franchise (ArmA) is amazing for what it is - a military simulator, not an arcade game. That game is also extremely flexible in terms of modifications - with both game mods (maps, weapons, vehicles...

Something similar was actually done during the funeral of one of the children who was killed during the Tucson shooting earlier this year. Westboro was going to "protest" at it and an emergency law was passed that required them to be at least 300 ft. away. (Also, how the hell are these...

I didn't even take that into account. I've got a P182 which blocks out quite a bit of noise. Still, I doubt the 580 noise at idle is going to bother you. If you really want to hear annoying, go get one of those Gigabyte GTS 250s with the Zalman coolers that are not adjustable at all - 2500...

The reference GTX 580 cooler is very silent while idle. I would assume that the 570 cooler, being based on the 580 design, would be similar. I believe the 560 is a different cooler design - given the lower heat load it's probably similarly quiet but I can't say for sure.

ASUS has them too, or at least they did on my 580.

How is Amazon supposed to move a distribution center to China or India when most of their customers are from the US? Their shipping costs and shipping times would drastically increase.

Security is another concern for this engine. I understand that modability will compromise security to a certain extent, but the situation could be much better. The hacks in this game are fucking ridiculous. We're not talking ESP but rather game-destroying hacks like destroying bases with a...

I would assume any pages requesting your credit card details would be SSL. Wouldn't you need a UK payment method? I can't see how this would work, at least not easily, for a US resident.

Who's the retailer?

Been a member for 7 months, but visited there for a lot longer. AA3, ArmA 2, BC2 Vietnam

Please explain. I haven't had any driver issues with my 580.

I suggest you sue AMD pro se. I'd love to see the mess their lawyers would make of you.
