If people are dumb enough to play games for 19 hours straight without moving and die because of it...Sorry but there has to be a Darwin award for that somewhere. The risks of sitting for too long are publicized all over the internet. The pop up thing is not a bad idea..for a WOW player from...

What is the max safe temp? I'll try running a game and rendering at the same time tonight and see what it gets up to. I suspect with those 680's I'll hit 90C. The hoses are very warm to the touch. Maybe if I added some pusher fans for a push/pull setup?

I'm at 1.32 Vcore, 1.92 Input Voltage and 1.3 on the Cache voltage running at 3.5ghz. All pretty standard voltages for 4.5ghz. My question is, am I at risk of frying it over 80C? I'm going to be rendering non stop on this thing for weeks for an animation project I am working on. What is...

Once you get it stable with the cache at 30 you can try bumping that up slowly and adding some voltage to vCore and VSSA I believe it was. 1.35-1.45 on the VSSA and you might be able to run the cache at the same speed as the CPU. I have an ASRock board and so far it's been very easy to overclock...

I'd like to say that I purchased a pair of these and sent them back 2 days later (thanks newegg). I have a x-fi Titanium sound card and I had to turn the volume up all the way on every setting I could just to get these to sound OK. I also have a gaming headset by Sennheiser and besides the...

I bought an nivida card from best buy like 2 months ago, a GTS 250 I think it was. I didn't know they weren't supposed to be selling them at best buy.

Not sure about that TBH. At idle I'm pulling 540 watts which is less than 40% however with a normal outlet and not a dedicated 20 amp one you can only use 1100 watts worth of power. Any higher and the breaker on the cord pops so if you look at it that way then I'm using more like 45% but still...

I have owned the Ultra 1600 PSU for a few years now and a few things I'd like to say. First, yeah, my electric bill is roughly $100 a month just to run my PC. I have been visiting my family in NY over the summer and my electric bill dropped from almost $200 a month to just $83. That is in...

So let me get this straight. Correct me if I'm wrong. You are in a thread all about Eyefinity yet you care nothing about it...Wow that makes total sense! :rolleyes: You guys are posting so fast, that was to the guy on the page before. My bad Oh yeah, and gaming on Eyefinity and then going back...

I run 3 24" LCD's in landscape mode because for some reason I do notice the bezels more in portrait mode because they are much closer together. That said, gaming on 3 monitors, either portrait or landscape still totally blows away gaming on a single monitor. There is no comparison and I don't...

What they said :) Also if you use a bucket you'll have to keep filling it as it will evaporate over time. If you could get that bucket O' water about 3ft underground and in an aluminum container with lots of fins all around it then you'd be on to something. You'd have to bury it though so forget...

He already has a D0 so I don't see how that will him him much. Higher pressure in your loop may lower it some but if you are hitting 90C you are at the point of majorly diminished returns. Get your bench on or whatever it is that you need it at that speed for and then run it back at your 24/7...

My latest and greatest creation. I have room for 38 Hard drives if I lose the cylindrical res and go to something that fits in the 5 1/4 area. For now though I still have room for 27 as it sits now which is more then I'll ever have (until next year). There are 4 Tripple 120mm fan radiators in...

I live near Tulsa and the sad thing is even though these are all the meth lab's that have been busted, there are probably at least this many that haven't yet. I'm originally from NY and I have never seen anything like it down here. People hare are not the brightest per capita from what I've seen...

Hmm, I have to use the one that came with the board? I was using a different one. I have tried the 185.20's and no go. What it shows is in the device manager is a little triangle with a ! in it and says device has been stopped and cannot start. I have seen error code 11 as well as 43. This board...

Hey guys, I can't seem to figure this out. I have a new DFI X58 board (the expensive one) and with 2 GTX 280's installed in it only one will function properly. I get a device code 43 on the other card in Vista and in Windows 7. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers did nothing. Putting in 1...

I'm working on a project and as the title says, I'm in need of 3D models of computer components. Not simple ones either, but highly detailed. The project consists of a new case that I have designed which will hopefully get made. It's made from wood but it's pretty rediculous. I want model every...

I guess I'm confused? :confused: (it doesn't take much)

Did you make Africa and Country big for a reason or is that some kind of glitch in the matrix?

I would assume that 100% otherwise what is the point of putting a number on it at all. I guess a really long progress bar at the bottom would be easier to understand? That might be kind of cool actually.

That would be fine. And is it too much to ask for a hooker once in a while? I mean this is Africa, the largest AID infested country in the world. They can't all be gay! Your character has Malaria, what's a little HIV thrown into the cocktail going to do? Realism is key here people. AID's...

I'll take what I can get! Thanks. Sorry for the double post on this. I am remoted into my PC from work and scrolling through a lot of threads is painful. I'm on 4 different forums reading what peeps have to say about this game. Too bad it sounds like most don't like it. I personally really enjoy...

Check it out! http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=143018#143018 I don't take any credit for this tool, I only take credit for posting about it first :)

I think they were hoping the over 1 million people that bought this game were stupid and wouldn't notice. Out of the more then 1 million people that did buy this...how many do you think did notice?

I guess I just am one of the lucky few that are having no problems with this game. I have almost no mouse lag to speak of. I have everything maxed except AA and that is still at 4. I have not had a single crash, the game always comes up full screen, and it even did the laundry for me lastnight...

I so want to play this game today!

I'm not saying ATI has a problem with these cards however I'd like to point out that I had a 4870 go bad on me after 1 month of use under watercooling at stock settings. My friend just had a Saphire 4870 X2 die on him also watercooled with stock settings. These cards ran at no hotter then 45C...

Hey guys, I am running a watercooled X2 but that really doesn't matter because the problem i am getting happens on my 4870 in my HTPC also. Playing crysis MP DX10 I get major graphical corruption on the screen. If you haven't played the remade surf level from farcry on crysis you need to check...

I'm downloading from steam right now :). I am remoted in to my home PC and from the looks of it I should be able to play when I get home from work. :)

So I didn't read all 6 pages of this, figured some thread crapping would happen in here as crap does happen. I have my 4870 X2 cooled by two DD maze blocks and some sweet ramsinks. I do have some issues in a few games but most is minor stuff. I love it and you can put me on the happy list.

Their customer service department is about as perseptive as Hellen Keller from what I can see. I sent an email requesting an RMA, that took like 2 weeks to go through. Then I shipped the card to them in the original box. They had it for 3 weeks, then all the sudden a white box shows up at my...

I have to disagree with all you guys on the overclocking standpoint. My friend and I have almost identical setups. He is running a 4870 X2 at almost stock speeds but has found that it really makes no difference. I am running my X2 at stocks for now until my heatsinks come in so I can install my...

So I got me a 4870 X2 after already having a 4870 watercooled in my system. I decided to use the 4870 X2 to run 1 monitor and the 4870 to run the other. There have been a lot of threads about the X2 not showing any screen on the DFI X38 and X48 chipsets so I thought I would chime in my findings...

I officially have a brand new VisionTEK in my hands from the guys at AMD. I received the card this morning :) My other VisionTEK is in VisionTEK's RMA department's hands. I already sold my P35 motherboard and upgraded to the X48 DFI board. They looked the same and had the exact same number of...

Nobody huh?

This is a used 24" widescreen CRT made by Sony but branded SGI. There is a big thread on these monitors on the forum. This is designed for CAD/Graphics design. I am selling it due to 2 brand new 24" Samsungs LCD's. I hate to see it go but I don't have the desk space. It weighs 90lbs or so and...

Spank you :D

He called me today on my cell phone to get my address :) Here is the deal though, I misunderstood him. He was saying when I RMA my card I'll have 2 for crossfire not him sending me 2. I should have asked him for a discount on an X2 instead. At any rate, he has a brand new Diamond 4870 that he...

I guess I forgot to mention that I did inspect everything before turning it on. I removed the side panels, pushed in all the cards (sound card WAS lose) and also tweaked all the sata connectors because they tend to fall out. I had 2 that had fallen out in transport. Not too bad having 14 hard...

The guy I talked to's name was John. I actually talked to 2 different people. The first guy came over and examined my PC and confirmed that I did indeed have a dead card. He then got me talking to John who asked me if I could get some nice pics of their setup they had there. He did not even tell...
