I would recommend if you want to dip into the mechanical keyboard realm, get a switch tester or find a local meetup to try out some switches and boards. Once you know what you like, take a look at a Code, Ducky One, or even the Rosewill 9000. They are all well made boards that will last a...
The errors are because you're trying to enter an interface thats not correct... your 'show inventory' will show that you have a sub slot 1 for that module and so therefore your interfaces are fa1/0/1-48 with your 4 gig trunking ports. Different models/designs will have different interface...
If you dont know any programming language, go learn C to start. Those concepts transpose to just about every other language and you'll find it easy to pick up the differences.
Ok i'll start with doing exhaust for the radiator, and try both intake and exhaust on side panel. those are easy fixes.
The fans are mismatched. The 2 in front and 1 in the bottom are from the case manufacturer. The added 120mm center/bottom fan and the rear 140mm fan are NZXT...
Yeah a hole saw.
So this is the ideal setup - so i should actually make the panel an intake, and then flip my radiator fans back around to make the top an exhaust?
this is the case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811855009
...you can see that it needs to be hit with a circular saw most likely.
yeah i know, airflow in this case is terrible.
The way you describe (top rad as exhaust) is the initial way i had it set up and the CPU was hitting 65C... on an h100i GTX. I flipped the fans around to intake and it stays around 55C at max load. I had considered taking all fans and making them...
Yeah the Sapphire 7950OC has a shroud around the whole thing and slots in the bracket but not a lot of air flow out the back of the case.
i will try with a 200mm fan through the side panel in either direction and see which is more efficient ... pulling hot air out, or putting cool air in.
I...
wait... so the fans on the cards are exhausting to the inside of the case? ok that makes a lot more sense... so i just need to exhaust/vent on top of them and it will help them suck in outside air from the slots in the back panel?
I have a pair of sapphire 7950-OC's that turn into a jet engine when pushed. The top card in the pair gets up to 67C. Obviously i've got some air flow/supply issues to address.
Is there a better option than installing a large intake fan on the door panel - or is the next step to add a GPU...
I was hopping for a good condition used one for $40-50. I'm in no rush so i've just been watching ebay, newegg, and amazon for deals but if someones got a spare i'd rather buy it here.
Hoping someone is upgrading or has a spare. I'm looking for a second drive to stripe my other primary c:\ and hoping to not have to buy it new for $70 on amazon or newegg.
Let me know.
Thanks.
yeah i'm a little surprised it runs so hot. Room temp is around 23C. Its a little cooler with fans oriented for intake flow but i'm still hitting ~55C once the gpu's heat up the inside. My original plan of intake at the bottom/front and exhaust at the top/rear didnt work as well.
Case: CFI...
For those that are interested in the differences with my setup - dual Sapphire 7950 @950mhz:
1045T oc to 3.1ghz - air cooled:
In-game Temp: 55C
3dmark firestrike bench: 9050
FX8350 at 4.1ghz water cooled:
In-game temp: 51C
3dmark firestrike bench: 9135
soooo....yeah, not a whole lot of...
Well I bit the bullet and grabbed an FX-8350 off ebay for $135. Seemed reasonable enough. Probably not the best deal in the world but it'll do for a couple more years.
Just got my 2nd 7950OC card installed in crossfire and with some mild overclocking (CPU from 2.7ghz to 3.1ghz and the GPU from...
as a network engineer... i would say you need to punch it down either at a block or on a biscuit jack. As a cheap ass, i would say you can probably get away with a cable splice.
Performance per dollar is essentially what everyone has to justify for time, right? Case in point, would i pay $400 for an upgrade that yielded me 30% improvement? probably not. But if i wait a year, would i pay $100 for that same upgrade? yeah sure. But like jcdenton2k, i'm doing full system...
yeah the CPU thats in there is pretty old 4-5 years? , the rest of the hardware is a a year old and i'll probably use it for another 5 years. I'm not a huge hardware junkie.
I use it primarily for gaming now with the occasional photoshop/illustrator projects and photos editing jobs.
So...
yeah i hear ya on price points. I seem to flip flop builds every 3-5 years going from AMD to Intel. This ones AMD with pretty much no expense spared (built over a year ago) for gaming and graphics work.. accept the CPU was a recycle from an older HP desktop i had. I figured it was good enough...
yeah i saw that thread... extensive read. I would hope i should be able to keep it cool with the 2x bigger rad than OEM... I'm filling out the rest of the fan slots in my full tower as well to help front to back airflow.
I was reading through the comparisons of the FX9590 to the older X4 945...
The last piece of the puzzle here, my CPU needs a bit of an upgrade. I'm currently running an old Phenom II X6 1045T 2.7ghz 6 core... in a Sabertooth 990FX board. What is the best option - FX-9590 8core 4.7ghz? I plan on installing a 240mm contained radiator/waterblock, probably the corsair...
***Found one on eBay for $110+shipping. Thanks***
Looking for a specific card to do crossfire with my existing card. I know its kind of a rare find but just in case someone comes across one i'd love to buy it from you:
11196-10-40G is the model that has the 950mhz overclock from factory using...
Yea this is still for sale. I've not been good at replying to peoples PM's since it wasn't notifying me and i don't log into [H] as much as i used to.
Everything on this board works perfectly well - it ran in my rig briefly before i went to a sabertooth (for no reason it turns out).
New replacement board from Asus. Not in original box but essentially brand new. Opted to go with the upgraded sabertooth and so this one is an extra.
AMD AM3+ FX/Phenom II/Athlon II/Sempron 100 Series Processors
AMD 970/SB950
Full specs here...
Update: Solved for real now.
I ended up calling Asus support and worked with a tech for a bit testing some things and trying to get the board to work right. We couldn't figure out what was going on so i opted to try their flagship board the Sabertooth 990FX. It boasts a better RAID controller...
I'm starting to think this motherboard does not do something correctly with SSD's in general but especially on ports 5-6 and using RAID/AHCI. It seems to me like the drive is going to sleep... If i reseat the sata cable on the drive when its not showing up it seems to come back.
Looks like #6 (same controller) is mildly flaky too... had to move back to port 1 with the SSD. Submitted for an RMA, we'll see how it works when the new one shows up.
**** Update - Solved!
Ok so after installing all the updates from windows, drivers, office and basic software I shut it down and moved just the SSD back to controller 5-6. I opted for port 5 this time as port 6 interferes with the video card and presses against the sata cable connector (poor...
**** update - Semi success!
well i got it to install with the SSD and all 6 ports set to RAID. I unplugged everything but keyboard/mouse, the SSD and the dvd. It would lock up at 11% during the "expanding windows..." option. I tried with a bunch of different SATA cables with no luck. Eventually...
so in doing some further reading, it appears as through the RAID option in the bios even for the non-raid drives (SSD and Optical) include the AHCI drivers and should (in theory) work normally when all are set to RAID.
Someone suggested from a thread on (overclockers back in mid 2012) removing...
