I put an S1 on my 9800GT. Not sure how different the 8800 Ultra is, but my install might give you some ideas. My 9800GT / Accelero S1 Rev2 / Scythe PWM install

This pretty much sums it up for me. My ECO A.L.C.'s pump finally died after 4.5 years of 24x7 use. Due to the layout of the rad, mobo, and case, I was forced to mount it a certain way. That resulted in the intake hose not being on the bottom, causing the pump to occasionally suck air (which I...

My Phanteks PH-F120XP and PH-F140XP case fans are much louder than any of my AIO pumps (ECO A.L.C., Corsair H60, and Tt Water 3.0 Performer). It actually took me a while to figure out that the pump in my A.L.C. was dying - there was no noticeable noise when it was running, so there wasn't any...

I had my CoolIt ECO ALC for about 4.5 years, running pretty much 24x7, before the pump died. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1512127

I had my CoolIt ECO ALC for about 4.5 years, running pretty much 24x7, before the pump died. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1512127 When it died, I bought a new H60 to replace it, and I'm using another AIO to cool my GPU. I'm very happy with the combination of price, performance, and...

The original CM690 had a mount for an 80x10mm fan under the mobo/CPU. The biggest issue is that there's generally not a lot of room there for a big fan or much airflow. You end up with a fan that's not all that quiet and isn't moving that much air. I'm sure you could make it work better in...

I had my i7-920 (OCed to 3.5GHz) in a CM690 with a CoolIt ECO ALC. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1512127 With a single fan on a normal-thickness rad, it peaked in the low 60s. After 4.5 years of running pretty much 24x7, the pump finally died. I replaced it with the new version of...

That sounds to me like getting rid of the old analog stuff. Notice that they specifically mentioned DVI-I, which is the variant with integrated VGA. DVI-D video is HDMI-compatible (but it doesn't have audio or HDCP) so you can convert between the two ports easily with a cheap adapter. DP can...

I'm quite happy with my EVGA GTX970 SSC ACX 2.0+. On the quiet BIOS, it turns the fan completely off until it hits 60°C. It was keeping my card in the low to mid 60's at only ~350RPM. With the AIO cooler installed, it's peaking in the 30's. I too have always preferred the idea of the video...

A "dedicated PhysX card" is just another video card. I used my PhysX card for my second monitor the whole time it was installed. However, I don't have firsthand experience with SLI. I'm not sure what the options are for routing video out a card that's not part of the SLI cluster (back in my...

I think B is better. That seems like it would also get more (though slightly warmer) airflow over the rest of the card too. I have a Lancool PC-K63 with an H60 on the CPU and a Tt Water 3.0 on the GPU. All three of the clear fans visible in this pic are intake in my setup. I have my...

Another option is to use regular thermal paste on most of the chip, with a tiny dot of superglue in the corners. The TIM will do the heat transfer as usual, and the superglue will hold the heatsink on securely, while still popping off easily if you're specifically trying to remove them. The...

The EVGA GTX970 SSC ACX 2.0+ has an Accelero-like cooler on it, and it's programmed so the fans don't even come on until 60°C. While playing HotS at 1080p with the highest settings, the fans only spin up to about 350RPM to keep it in the low to mid 60's. I was quite impressed with how cool and...

I'm getting old and lazy, so I'm likely to settle for "decent but easy" rather than trying to wring every last MHz out of it. I originally went with 167 BCLK because it's a nice multiple from the stock 133, so it doesn't skew all the other speeds. I was trying to get back to the stock 25x...

I bought a 920 and E758 back in February of '09. I used StepUp to go to the Classified E759. After running it stock for a while, I bumped up to a 167 BCLK for lazy 25% overclock with everything set to Auto in the BIOS. Recently I got looking at the BIOS updates for it again. I had memory...

Are you registered with their dev program? I'm not, so I can't say whether or not it's working properly.

I still have my KT7A-RAID, with XP-M 2400+. Note that the older boards don't support the fifth multiplier bit, so you can't access all the multiplier options with an unlocked chip. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=776492 Pics for nostalgia...

This came up in another thread, and I hadn't seen it before, so I figured it deserved its own post. https://developer.nvidia.com/content/latest-physx-source-code-now-available-free-github I'm not a registered developer, so I don't know all the legal details, but this could lead to open...

As Nenu already said, a game generally uses a single physics engine, like PhysX or Havok. I suppose you could theoretically write a game to use both, and choose PhysX if the user has hardware for it but switch to Havok if they didn't. That's not a very likely scenario though, as it would...

I had a lazy 3.3GHz + Turbo overclock on my 920, and ran a CoolIT ECO ALC for about 4.5 years. It peaked right around 60°C regardless of what I threw at it. I got an H60 when it died, and have dropped in a Xeon X5680 now. OCCT Linpack gets one of the cores up to 56°C, with 4 others at 54° or...

In one of my older work Dells, the GPU cooler's pad on the heatpipe wasn't even touching it. They had TIM filling the gap, but it was a huge gap. I ended up taking the whole assembly out and bending it down a bit so it actually made decent contact with it. If you don't mind taking it apart...

When the 120mm AIO CPU coolers first came out, they usually came configured as pull/exhaust, intended to replace the exhaust fan at the top rear of your case. Testing showed that flipping the fan around to be be an intake (and push also) dropped the CPU temps via the fresh outside air, without...

I've never seen a major temp difference between TIMs. Keep in mind that TIM is designed to fill in the tiny surface imperfections with something that conducts heat better than air. Direct metal to metal contact is best, air gaps are worst, and TIM-filled gaps are in between. If you had two...

INTRO: I stumbled across the Kraken G10 on sale a while back. I hadn't been paying much attention to hardware, so I wasn't familiar with it. I looked it up, thought it was cool, and found a deal on a Tt Water 3.0 Performer to go with it. The intention was to put it on my HD5870, which...

PMed you about a GPU bracket.

I was overthinking this and ignoring the obvious. I don't have the upper drive cage installed, so the upper front fan is wide open. Plus it's right in line with the video card. I should have no problem using a 120-140 adapter of some sort there and dropping it right in. Both rads will be...

I found a deal on a Kraken G10 and a Tt Water 3.0 Performer. I picked them up, planning to put them on my HD5870. I previously had an Accelero Twin Turbo Pro installed on it to quiet things down, but it has remained stock after a warranty replacement. I have a Corsair H60 (replaced a dead...

I have the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ (04G-P4-3975-KR). I don't know exactly what the difference is with the + model, but I can grab its BIOS if that helps you at all...

Necro-bump! I updated the first post with a few numbers from my new GTX970. There's not really anything amazingly new here, but it gives some idea as to how newer hardware compares to the older cards. It also includes a direct on/off comparison of PhysX on a single card, which I didn't do...

Keep in mind that you only have to recharge the capacity you've used. Unless you drive 265 miles a day, you don't need to recharge the full 85KWh of a Tesla's battery every night. If you only drive 100 miles daily, it's only about 3.5 hours (or 5 hours @ 6.6KW 28A) to recharge it. Chevy chose...

Dead thread revival service! Just for future reference, I thought I'd make a final post here. After 4.5 years of running nearly 24x7 (with times of running dnetc, folding, and BitCoin mining with multiple GPUs), the ECO is finally crapping out on me. It seems the pump is starting to go -...

I used a similar 100mm fan (the SY1012SL12H(PWM) from the Shuriken) on my 9800GT's Accelero. It just recently died, so I've been looking for a replacement without having to buy the whole heatsink again, and the SY1212SL12H-P caught my eye. Some random Google result forum post said that you...

No, a plain USB cable won't work.

Looks like a few Chinese companies have come out with Lightning extension cables now. DealExtreme has one for $4. http://dx.com/p/8-pin-lightning-male-to-female-extension-cable-for-iphone-5-white-97cm-214647

The Lightning connector is all digital, so there's no direct analog out. The adapter includes a DAC though, so you can get analog audio out of the "iPhone 5 + 30-pin adapter" assembly. The adapters do not support "iPod Out" which confused a lot of people originally. This is a feature found...

The iPhone 5 dockBoss+ seems to be their only product that's close to what I want. The biggest issue with that item is that it uses the headphone jack for analog audio, which means it's tied to the volume controls on the iPhone (rather than using the dedicated "audio out" which is a set level)...

Has anyone seen a Lightning extension cable yet? I need to convert a 30-pin connector to Lightning and then extend it a few feet. Ideally, I'd like a version of Apple's $40 adapter cable but with a much longer cable. I'm also ok with the smaller $30 adapter coupled with a male-female...

They had the commercials with sales guy Chad talking up My Circle, making fun of the other companies' sales guys. Including Verizon, who bought them... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alltel#Mergers_and_acquisitions I hate how a company can be bought by other companies 17 separate times.

There are some apps/devices out there that let you use your iPhone as an amp/effects pedal with your electric guitar. You get a cable with a 1/4" jack for your guitar on one end, and a 3.5mm plug and jack on the other end. It plugs into your iPhone to get the guitar input into the phone, and...
