    EKWB Supreme VGA Block inefficient GB 280X Cooling

    So what you're saying is that a bare gpu making no contact with the ek waterblock ran 45C. On top of that the gpu shut itself down after hitting out of speck temps? That's pretty cool, so no damage to the gpu and it functioned fine after reattaching the stock cooler?

    OpenCL quadfire r290x cooling

    Well, I hope you keep us updated. I'd love to wc my cards as well, but the investment is too prohibitive at the moment, at least for my main mining rig. I have a personal system that's wc'd but currently being rebuilt at the moment and unfortunately running into some issues, but that a whole...

    4x7970 water cooling?

    That's what I would do if I had a basement and put that $750 back into some gpu's :D

    An idea using a heat exchanger from work...

    Any chance for an update on this? Curious what kind of pump and fans you went with, also what temps did you end up with?

    OpenCL quadfire r290x cooling

    Holy crap! :eek: Sorry to hear you fried your mb. Good luck with ek. Mind if I ask what kind of temps you got on your setup?

    4x7970 water cooling?

    As long as you have internet and power it shouldn't be a problem to keep you rig in the basement. I wouldn't recommend a closet just because your radiator will need to breath to keep the gpu's nice and cool. That's a really nice open air case but if you have your rig setup for watercooling why...

    Ungrade from HD 5870 for around 250$

    I wish you luck since pretty much any card worth upgrading to ie. 7950, 7970, r9 280x are pretty much all sold out everywhere. That being said, I've read great things about nvidia's lineup lately. Really curious to see what you go with so please update :)

    A new cooler! CRYORIG R1

    Wow, that thing is huge, almost 1 kilo minus fans, that's just over 2 lbs sitting or hanging off your mb. Better start working out!

    4x7970 water cooling?

    Looks like your planning on doing some mining. I know I'm not really answering your question but why water cooling? are they running too hot? too loud? Watercooling will significantly improve both but it's going to be expensive for four cards. Here's a thread about someone who watercooled 4...

    4 Watercooled Video Cards in Antec Mini P180 Case?

    Unless you plan on doing some serious modding, doesn't look like your original idea keeping everything in the case will work. Just doesn't have the rad space. Having said that, I'd still love to see you try :D

    Jeff Bezos Will Unveil a 'Big Surprise' On 60 Minutes Tonight

    I wonder how powerful are these drones going to be? Imagine stong winds, blowing a bunch of them off course, bad gps during storms, other flying predators etc that will affect the delivery. Conceptually a great idea but as someone else mentioned so were the Segways...

    PCIE Extender Cords (x16) for high end graphics

    I remember reading about a usb 1x pci-e riser but for the life of me I can't find it again. Obviously won't work for what you need but maybe there's usb 16x pci-e out there somewhere?

    World's Most Elaborate Bitcoin Mining Operation?

    Not really a random guy, those boards he's using must be custom made, that 3m fluid he's using sounds pretty exotic=expensive and finally he's setting this up in Hong Kong where real estate is expensive as hell so he's definitely spending some big money to house all that custom equipment.

    Asus DirectCU II 760 just caught on fire!

    Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I can't imagine what could have happened if you hadn't noticed the fire in your computer. I'm pretty sure the store or asus wouldn't warranty replace your house.

    Bitfenix Prodigy "Mirror"

    I thought it was a render at first it's so clean. Very nice job. I watched the video and I see you used glass for the side panels. Every think about using Plexiglas? Lighter and less concern about shattering.

    Half-Life Turns 15 Today

    I totally agree with Half-life being revolutionary but Doom, Quake and even Duke Nukem were revolutionary in their time. Without those games Half-Life would have been a console 2d side scroller.

    Plz help identifying this older CPU cooler

    Wow, that's crazy. What's with the heatpipes on the bottom of the mb? What kind of case did these sit in?

    Liquid cooling old Lian Li case. Where to put the rad?

    If you're willing to mod the case then isolating the rad from the rest of the system by placing it in the bottom compartment will be nice, might need some extra fans to help with exhaust though.

    Was what I bought worth it

    Everyone get buyers remorse but after a week or two of hardcore gaming it'll all be worth it. As for water cooling, that can also be expensive but rewarding. Buying a complete kit can be a little expensive but nothing more than what you already spent. I think it's more fun when you put it...

    MB for q6600?

    Just a quick update, found a p5q for pretty cheap. Not planning on oc'ing it but maybe with a good cooler I can crank it up a bit :D

    MB for q6600?

    Thanks, I was wondering why so few 775 mb's were listed. I know it's a little old but I figured it might be worth it to just pick up a cheap mb and build a simple system around it. I'm not in a rush so if something pops up in the next little while, I might try it but we'll see.

    What's this about an AMD-ARM server CPU?

    I really hope AMD hits it out of the park this ARM strategy. Not that I want either AMD or Intel to crash and burn, but I think the consumer wins when there are at least a couple of players in the game.

    Cooler Master HAF vs Antec 900.

    MB for q6600?

    Had a q6600 fall into my lap, not really sure if it's worth it to build a system around it, all I would really need is a mb and some ram. Any recommendations on some decent mb's that would provide good performance and mild overclocking?
