Cool, thanks for the info. I've already removed the bay, so I'd definitely be interested in the 200mm option. People get a CPU/GPU working on a single 240mm rad in the M1, and I realized a 200mm x 200m was a lot more surface area than that (400 vs 288). The 240 and 140 combo would be...

I see, thanks. It looks like you couldn't even put a fan on that radiator without hitting the daughter board of the MB. Is it just super thick? It seems like with a standard width ~35mm radiator you should be able to put a normal fan on, but now, with these photos, it's looking like...

Do you have a picture of this? I was hoping to mount mine to the right side of the case (viewing from the front), but I imagined the ports being toward the front, away from the MB.

This sent me on the hunt that identified the issue. It is an EVGA Classified 780. I was greedy in wanting a medium form factor system with this card, I know. It turns out the size specs on Newegg were wrong. Updated my post accordingly. I might "step-up" to a reference TI. That should...

So I got this in the mail on Tuesday and put my build in. One problem: The MB is so high up in the case, that I cannot hook up power connectors to the video card without losing the top panel of the case. EDIT:Turns out the specs for my card that I was going by, from Newegg, were...

Why not the stock cooler? Will you be overclocking? You could get some cheaper memory and a cheaper SSD. Also something like an ASUS direct cu r9 270 is clocked nice and gets pretty close to a 270x. It's usually around 200

So I've worked a fair bit on V2V and V2I systems, and the misinformation here is crazy! There is no super-network for the data to get recorded on -- think of a bunch of localized radio signals, and you can just read the ones around you. There is no enhanced ability for the government or...

Quick note: it appears the Obsidian 250D is available from Corsair directly, if you are interested in going that direction.

If it's metric and you have US or vice versa, you can use a smaller key with a rubber band: lay the band flat over the hole, shove smaller key in. Should be enough grip to turn it

liangr's list is pretty good if the monitor is separate from your budget. I would recommend a slight PSU upgrade into the 600W range if you want to drive a 780 down the road (780 can pull 375W on its own). Also note the Obsidian 250D isn't shipping until mid-february either, so I don't think...

M1s aren't available so it isn't really relevant. You'll have to post the dimensions (length) of your 780 if you want that to be an option. Most cases have a max gpu length and this may force your hand in one direction or the other. You are looking at spending 300 on a monitor, 100 for...

Looking for any working CPU for a 1155 socket and the cheapest stick/pair of DDR3 you have to sell. I just need to get an old motherboard running and I have to test some things. I already have the PSU/VGA/MB. Thanks, let me know your price! -Alex Heatware under astyler

Ah good to hear. I'm sure a second would make up for the additional flow restriction it creates, even if slim with slim fans. It would get very, very tight though (maybe 15mm between GPU block and rad?). How thick are the radiators people are putting on the side? Is there a...

Anyone have this running with two 240 rads internally yet? Just curious if it had been attempted, haven't seen it online. You can definitely fit a thin rad with thin fans under the GPU, but its more fittings, more tubing, and might make the loop tough (while also using a side 240 rad)...

Pics asap! Also if using dual psu I recommend combining them to a common ground. This should solve most weird problems you may run into using two PSUs in one system.

Also get and run GPU-Z to check the sensors. It's also possible your gpu is under load in a botnet mining some bitcoin equivalents.

That's more than just a case fan issue. What's your ambient temp? What else is in the case? You should be down near 35-45. Could be an improperly mounted heatsink.

What he is saying is still true, it just isn't happening yet. Just because they are limited now doesn't mean they will be when the dam breaks. It will follow the same pattern as sha256 ASICs if it happens. Also there are more ASIC-resistant algorithms coming out, and you will see a new...

You could be pushing the limits of that PSU. The symptoms seem like a power issue. Try differing the order in which you activate them, there may be a specific problem with that one card or its power connectors. It's also possible the four are drawing too much power through PCI-E, but I...

DP 1.2 doesn't have the bandwidth to run 1440p at 144Hz. It probably gets close, and I assume does 144 Hz at lower resolutions.

Hi, I've got a GPU requiring two 8-pin connectors for power. My PSU, Corsair HX620, has two 6-pin outs and a bunch of molex/sata outs. It's modular, and within the specs required for this card. The GPU came with two Y connectors that each convert two 6-pin PCI-E into 1 8-pin PCI-E. The...

Your sarcasm didn't come through at all. 144Hz at 1440P isn't possible on DP1.2, so you'll have to wait for a bit until DP1.3 comes around. I think the max bandwidth of DP1.2 allows something like 137.5Hz at 1440P. It's possible the monitor that is coming out, which is listed at 120Hz+, can...

I was looking at one site, Hardware Canucks. They said no such thing. Generally all review sites will measure sound level around 1m away, the typical distance between a home PC and desk chair. The sound level is near the level of normal speech, if that lets you imagine how loud it would be...

Even if you are averaging 50-60fps, sometimes some frames can come in quicker than that rate (like two frames back to back, then a long break until the next one). A faster display has more likelihood of being able to render that quick frame.

Also it isn't productive to suggest that the other users with different opinions than you are paid shills, are stupid for not seeing the way you see, or are trolling you. People have different opinions on components because they value different things than you, or they perceive things...

There's a lot of controlled reviews that show noise dBa for various cards in idle or under load. The AMD offerings tend to run 1-3 dBa louder in idle, and 10-12 louder under load. The scale is something like 50 vs 62 at the top tier, and 40 vs 50 in the middle tier. This isn't really an...

This is a little inaccurate. They are adding the module because it is doing some other things, hence the big ram chips on it. They wouldn't need to add hardware to displays to do something AMD can do on a GPU. The technologies are different. The article is suggesting many display companies...

This isn't a problem for any of the refresh rates (30/60/120/144) being discussed. With gsync, all of them can deliver frames every 35ms with out issue. Unknown-One is spot on. If one of those frames comes in at 28ms render, the 30Hz monitor cannot push it at render, and has to wait 5.3ms...

There are a couple issues I have with this "Free-sync sets VBI based on a predicted next-frame-render time". That certainly sounds plausible, and I would expect the accuracy of the prediction to be much better than you would expect. However, my issue is if the frame takes longer than...

Thanks to both of you for your answers, this is what I was looking for.

So, what Unknown-One and crackmonkey are saying are that GSYNC will work with AMD? That is what I am asking. You say it is a standard that GSYNC is implementing on the monitor end of DP. So all AMD needs to do is update a software driver and they should be able to meet the other standard on...

Anyone have any insight on this? Still curious, can't find the information explicitly

Oh and on his other point, there technically could be a small requirement in game engines for GSYNC to be useful: It has to be capable of rendering frames at variable intervals, aka it has to be able to turn off vsync. There may be some very simple games where it is always on. Without...

So I have a question: It's mentioned here, multiple times, the GSYNC is not really a proprietary thing, because there is a variable v-blanking signal built into the DisplayPort standard. The implication I am getting is that monitor manufacturers have not upgraded or altered their internals to...

I was responding to: Where's the option, "No, I bought an amd gpu because it was more cost effective even without mining" ? I wasn't talking about choosing nvidia due to inflation

This is an unfortunate myth. BTC has no value from the computing power used to create it. You cannot get that computing power back or put it to good use. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Myths Is a great article that can clear up the 'value' of BTC. It's a little biased but is largely spot...

The value of a fiat currency is the purchasing power if commands within the country that issues it (or any purchasing power it has globally as well). As long as it has this purchasing power, the global market could not reach a consensus that it was worthless and stop trading for it. It's...

Great post, spot on. Stock has the backing of the output/production and assets of the company you buy. Your analogy might work better if it were plastic bacon that was not consumable, to further the point that their is no intrinsic value.

Although it can be useful, there is no value backing this cryptocurrency versus any other.

This is incredibly naive. You would be a horrible stock trader. If the price were definitely going to go up, people would pay more for the item. The speculation of growth or crash is built into the price, that is decided by the market. A lot of the people speculating on the BTC instrument...
