Aaaah so that is why the tulips were given as a gift... beautiful piece of history! Thanks for the very nice story and guesture! Awesome.. Are all Canadians so generous and kind?? :-) Amongst other (international) internetters your character stand out quite remarkably :) I understand the...

Beautiful story with an inspiring historical significance! I did not know that! :-) Very generous of you! Thanks. Indeed it will be much more expensive than buying one here. I think my options are clear now: either buy a (new/secondhand) usb powered active dual link adapter OR build another...

Awesome thanks for clarifying that! 100% clear! Never been to Canada but I imagine its beautiful ;) Nevertheless, thanks for the offer! I think there is enough information and insights in this forum topic so its up me now to make up my mind and make a decision: either buy a 100$ adapter or use...

Thanks for your findings gentlemen! rtangwai - This is the "graphics card" im pluggin into: a Gigabyte BRIX PRO 4770R quadcore i7 mini pc http://www.gigabyte.co.nl/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BXi7-4770R-rev-10#sp Tested and well capable of driving a 4K @ 60HZ from miniDP > DP cable. - The Netherlands...

Good idea! I wend ahead and searched eBay allover mate, but helas no luck... if you now later or ever device to let go of your miniDP > DVI-D then message me! ;-) You are right though. DVI connections become quickly ancient nowadays with everybody switching to (mini)DP monitors...

After some research i found this adapter, which EXPLICITELY states that 1. it will work at 2560x1600 and 2. at 60HZ! https://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/Mini-DisplayPort-to-DVI-Dual-Link-Active-Adapter-USB-Powered~MDP2DVID As a whipping 150$, are there any new cheap 10-50$...

Awesome reply! Thanks now we're getting somewhere! The second one is 10 fold more expensive. 1. The first (10$) clearly states that it will work at 2560x1600 @60HZ. So i am curious what advantage the second (110$) brings compared to the first adapter? 2. I need miniDisplayPort, these are...

Is it theoretically possible to achieve 60HZ signal at a resolition of 2560x1600 from a miniDisplayPort > DVI-D adapter? I ask this because I have tried THREE adapters one 8$, one 15$ and one 32$ and all three promised to go into resolutions of up to 4K @30HZ, and the latter promised...

Anybody knows anything about the all new Intel i7 Baby Canyon (KBL-U) coming out this year? Will it be dualcore (4 threads) OR quadcore (8 threads)? How will the Baby Canyon's KBL-U CPU differ from the current topmodels' SKL-H CPU (i7 6770HQ)? Will the baby Canyon replace the current topmodel...

Yeah indeed! my quadcore i7 4770R from 2013 is 20% more economic at 19V @ 7.1A :)

Your welcome! :) indeed nice. I myself was looking specifically into the tiny cubic models that disassembled can lie FLAT(!) for approx 500-700$. I want to use the parts to build in my own project so thats why i am looking into the models resembling the BRIX stacked design that can be made flat...

Thanks! But thats over a year old! 1. I am looking currently at models such as the already released Intel NUC NUC7i7BNH and Gigabyte GB-BKi7HA-7500 but it doesnt state on the websites weather its a dualcore or a quadcore. 2. Also I am interested in weather anybody knows what newer models are...

Many years ago i bought a Gigabyte BRIX-4770R, a QUADCORE powerhouse i7 that is still going strong... After that many new barebones from intel and gigabye appear to be all merely dualcore. Which New/To Be Released barebone will be a QUADCORE powerhouses that is worth upgrading to compared to...

Thankgod there is a thread for all the X99 and 5820K OC lovers :woot: After enjoying my 5820K @ 4.4 Ghz 1.290V stable (44x100 bclk) max 80 C on load on an Asus Rampage V Extreme for over a year now, I wondered why my custom polished (till copper is revealed) cpu with mercury nasa quality...

After years of incremental steps forward, intels answer with Haswell-E X99 chipset finally convinced me to upgrade from my five year old X58 (no decent data3, no usb3) and move from my 980X hexacore to the new affordable and superfast intel 5820K and overclock the heck out of it! Coupled with a...

I am starting to feel that pewter77 might be right, afterall..... thanks folks for your insightfull suggestions! PS I do edit heavy big files often ( +/- 50mb~100 MB indesign files, huge raw files where sequential read / write speeds ARE a factor that I cannot completely forget... for photo...

I will be making full backup clones often so please forget about the raid problems X1 vs X2 vs X3 vs X4 drives. performance is what I need and of course affordability :) i use now 4 drives in RAID0 for over two years without any hitch, backuping entire disc regularly. cooling HDD's is the key.

Folks what a great insights you are giving here! Thanks! It is already changing my descisions... @Pandur, if wht you are saying is true (I have never heard of that 700mb/s cap??!! where have you found this? :cool: very curious!) this makes 4 drives useless indeed... 2 would then be better...

I have an interesting question for all us owners of Intel X58 chipset architecture (for example my motherboard X58A-UD7 rev2) who have to choose between putting their SSD on either: - Intel ICH10R Sata2 with TRIM but bottlenecked at ± 270mb/s - Marvell 9128 Sata3 without TRIM no bottlenechs...

Hi all, What is the Most Reliable Harddrive of 2011? I just saw Seagate released new series in April 2011 being the Constellation ES type e.g. ST1000NM0011 Does any one have seen good reviews where they put harddrives into ovens to shorten life expancies meanwhile increasing the...

@Rossi that is a too optimistic curve! On my sample, only temp that I see is in the range of 70 ~90 when the door of my Corsair 700D is closed. My other 9800 GTs (passive cooling!) idle beautifully at around 30 degrees, just like my 980X sixcore by the way that runs idle at 25~34 degrees (the...

@R-Type, the whole idea is that without instnely high sound pollution, the card as manufactured, should perform delta +/-16 degrees hotter than ambient. You are missing the whole point. Of course in AfterBurner 100% Fan controol will dissepate most of the heat, but have you any idea how that...

@Lord Exodia. I have, after plenty of research settled for an Antec Quattro 1200 Watt, till now proving to be very strong and eating up anything you throw at it. I dont have the feeling that the PSU is the bottleneck... But good of you to check and double check to rule out the odds...

Only problem is that if I run off one of the two monitors completely (not standby but power off) then after a few minutes the exact same insanely high Idle remains: 66 ~ 68.

YES, Nascasho, im running two 1920x1200 on the card. Wauw that would explain a lot, then....

@Dizon248, Thats a very interesting suggestion. My 980X sixcore also needed great finetuning in order to not be overpressure don one side, making it liftoff on the other side. The The proper presure from all sides is indeed crucial on large area chips... But, the metal heatsink actually feel...

Only my idle is very different from normal 40 degrees, while load is very simmilar to the normal 90. From power up the card jumpt to that hot metal touch (currently 66~68). I hve just my desktop on, all programs shutdown, except Firefox with a few tabs for typing this.

Thanks! Great info. Thats hot 93! much hotter than the 60 degrees on various reviews as load temp. The Delta temp on TomsHardwares graph should bring my temp to 18+16 = 34 orso at Idle, which explaines the 40 degrees idle temperature on that Turkish review site!! hmmmm.. I'm just so far off...

Hi! The Case is a full tower Corsair 700D, with an open door, there are two other 9800 GT in Sli each running at 40-41 degrees idle. There are two 12 cm fans angled right towards the GTX 470, with current idle temp of 67!!! Roomtemperature is 18 degrees. I live in the Netherlands, where it's...

On my Gigabyte GTX 470 video card ( partnr GV-N470SO-13I ) all of the 12 green LED lights are ON, all the time, from power up! I haven't seen these lights off, ever. Is this normal? Secondly, I have an open case, well ventilated, yet the cards idle temperature is 67 and Load temperature of 92...

Thank you for your replies and ideas. The wisest thing i read, is that a pwoer supply should not be default 80% or 90% loaded, but around 50% !! That changes the whole perspective of this assignment of choosing the right power supply. After thorough and direct comparision with the two quietest...

Thanx all for your ideas and comments! I decided to forget the whole 990x greedyness and just be happy with a 980x.

Salutations earthlings. For us who are upgrading soon from an entirely outdated Core 2 Duo (E6600 / E8500 / Q6600 etc) and have to start from scratch choosing the best rig, we are faced with three options very soon: A) Get the 980X (go safe: this one has proven itself worthy) at a high price B)...

My hopes for keeping the Antec Signature 650 were rising untill I read that HDDs spike a peak load of 25 watts when spinning up at power on, then resume to 8~12 watts. And that DVD burners use 25 watts when burning. (Is this the same as cd burning or weaker/different laser / wattage?) Currently...

Thanks! Had already that suspicion! See this review of Toms Hardware overclocked 980X Their monster workstation peaked at just under 298 watt. Thats their whole computer and all six cores @4ghz Full Throtle... Sure my computer will have some more sata drives and a second graphic card, but...

Saluations fellow earthlings :cool: Q1. What power supply WATTAGE is adequate for a 980X setup? :confused: My system will be: a Corsair 700 d case (with air vent below to let power supply suck in cool air = longer life span) Gigabyte X58A-UD7 rev 2 | 980X 6 cores@4ghz 24/7 | 12 gigabytes...
