That nailed it, Goty...had to put the case alllll the way on its back to get the air bubbles out...man, they should really put that in the instruction manual for pump mount kits like this.

So I have everything set up for my water cooling loop: FrozenQ Fusion Dual Bay Reservoir Swiftech MCP35X pump w/ pump top (mounted to back of reservoir) 3/8" ID tubing w/ BitsPower compression fittings Raystorm CPU block Koolance HD 7970 full coverage GPU block Black Ice GTX Xtreme 240mm...

I have a Phantom 410 case by NZXT and I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to mod it so that a 240mm rad could fit in the bottom part of the case next to the PSU. The 2.5" bays are split into two sections, and I've figured out how to remove the lower one so that I have enough room...

My monitors are all 23". When I set up eyefinity, it lists it as one of the possible resolutions, so I just clicked on it. I'm still messing around with it a little bit, though, 'cause I noticed (like you did) that it is not the normal 3x wide resolution. The testing I've been doing in...

Go back to my reply to your original post, and I think you'll see that there are lots of equally likely potential explanations. My PSU could be faltering, I could be hitting the x8 bottleneck, the cards could be overheating, crossfire or graphics card drivers could be the problem, I could have...

Not really sure why you said this. I asked a guy who popped in to say overclocking graphics cards was stupid to stop being a troll. After that, he mocks the difference between 170fps and 150fps on a system that cannot achieve either (I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why he said that)...

Oh my good god, man...I freaking said it was an Eyefinity triple monitor setup. At maximum settings, I'd be lucky to get 60-80fps on modern games @ 6036 x 1080 pixels. Seriously, STOP TROLLING. As per my last post, it's quite clear now that you're being brainless or an asshat, so bug off...

Seriously, where is this coming from? Do I even know you? People like you should be banned from posting in the forums; this is a ridiculous comment to make on someone's post. If you're trying to mock me because I said someone was "sounding stupid" when they accused me of answering my own...

An answer to the question. Go read it again. When I OC'ed the one card, everything was fine. The fact that OC'ing them both results in a problem is evidence for several underdetermined theories. In essence, there are multiple equally likely explanations for what the issue is - it could be...

The description on my youtube video says it all, but I'll try and explain it a little before you check out the video. Basically, I got a second hd 7970 to run crossfire on a eyefinity triple monitor setup. I plugged it in, got it all working, gave it a nice 1260/1725/1.3 gpu/memory/volts...

Yeah this is the exact same as saying that higher RPM fans are worse because they don't let the air spend enough time in the radiator to absorb very much heat. I mean, that sounds crazy, right? Additionally, that 7-23 lph thing must have been a typo, or at least I hope it was. I could move...

The title says it all...I have a decent amount of money set aside and I can get a uber nice, extremely fast pump (1000+ lph) or I can go with a slower pump. My intuition says faster would be better. For example, the faster air travels through a radiator, the better cooling you get, so it seems...

Basically, I just want to know if people think there is a good 120mm rad one could use for significantly overclocking a CPU...anyone?

Does anyone know a good 120mm rad (I'm flexible as far as thickness goes) for cooling an i7 2600k CPU on its own? This is my first build, so I selected a Phantom 410 case, and am now finding that it really doesn't have enough internal space for watercooling a CPU and a crossfire/sli setup. I...

I'm not trying to do a 3-D display, just 120hz 2D...I took that to mean it would not display a 120Hz 3-D setup, not 120Hz outright. On that thread you linked, someone brought up that they have gotten this adapter to work on 120Hz 2D displays. I wish that thread really explained things more...

So after all this drama, I got some Eyefinity-approved Accell adapters for converting mini DP into dual-link DVI. I've plugged everything in and it's working fine, except for the fact that I can't do 120hz for some reason. Whenever I set it up in the CCC, the screens go black, the third...

Can't find this in any store - not at CompUSA, Circuit City, TigerDirect, HHGregg, Brandsmart, Best Buy, or Radio Shack. The guys at Radio Shack didn't even know what displayport was; he kept telling me I needed to tell him what kind of display connection I needed whenever I mentioned it...

Starting to go a bit crazy here...driving all around Miami, without an active converter in sight. Decided to use the list found on the amd eyefinity page of active single link adapters...best buy, tiger direct and radio shack no dice. Think I could find one at HHGregg or Brandsmart?

While this is true, the problems have been with Apple's mini DP -> dual link DVI adapter, not the single link version. The single link version has high reviews on every store website I can find, and there is no mention of issues anywhere on the web. I don't know why you though we were talking...

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3382#9 Under number 4, the middle picture is a picture of the one I am using. Under number 9, the FAQ clearly states "The Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI and Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapters are active adapters." Given that they always refer to the other DVI...

Arrrggghhh...The apple website specifically states that those adapters are ACTIVE! What BS. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's attached to a dual-link cable? You think if I attached the monitor to the converter via a single-link cable it would become active? At this point, it's...

Yeah, just changed the settings a bit...Basically, I can extend to either of the two monitors, but not the third. An interesting thing I noted just now is that the one that is hooked up via mini DP converter shows up in the catalyst control center as being a DVI monitor...dunno why that would...

So here's how everything is set up: HD 7970 Three Dell AW2310 Monitors One monitor (the main one) hooked up to DVI - mini DP via apple's active converter for single link DVI Second monitor hooked up to HDMI straight up Third monitor hooked up to DVI Now, I know this setup will not...

Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004MYFODS/ref=pe_175190_21431760_cs_sce_dp_2 Had to dig through my email to be sure. I liked the fact that it had short circuit protection, among other things. That appears to be the 850 TXv2, as it says in the title of the page...right?

Alright, I figured it wasn't the case that everything would be running full load at the same time...I just figure that's a good bet as far as the PSU is concerned (if you have enough wattage to run everything at load, you have to be fine as far as that's concerned). Good to hear, though, that...

That would solve the issue, as that would be a difference of ~170W, bringing the total to around 700W...and you said the CPU would use 140W which is 60W greater than my calculation, so that would bring it up to 760W. Oh crap, I totally forgot...I have a pump, too...what would the wattage be...

Danny - I have a Corsair Enthusiast Series TX850 (80 plus Bronze Certified, whatever that means) Profumo - According to that website I cited, as it was the only real thing I had to refer to, here is the breakdown (let's go ahead and assume minimums for the moment): Wireless PCI Card - 5W...

So I found this website that outlines in broad strokes what you need as far as wattage goes in a power supply - http://www.pcpower.com/technology/power_usage/ Dunno if it is up to date or accurate, which is all the answer I need, I suppose. As for my specific question, I have a 850w power...

I'd still like to know if there's a vrm problem with the reference (i.e. non-dual dissipation) HD 7970.

I'm assuming everyone is familiar with the VRM problem on the new HD 7970 Black Edition Double Dissipation cards: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1666378&page=1 http://www.overclock.net/t/1200211/stay-away-from-xfx-7970-black-edition-design-flaw My problem is that everyone...
