    Corsair Hydro Series VGA Cooling Lucky Draw

    1. Yes but I do not care for the modifications I had to do for a viable product, whereas the HG10 comes complete and doesn't need the modifacitons. 2. Yes if the price difference was only 0-15% higher than doing it myself.

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I use a VGA to PWM adapter to go from the 980 Ti fan port on the pcb to the fan on my h90. Works like a charm and you can use Afterburner or stock NV software to control fan curve. Retains a motherboard fan header if you are in short supply of them also. This is what I am talking about. I...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I am right there with you buddy. The best I can do is 1477 with +27mV and even that doesn't hold after about an hour of gaming/stressing. Sometimes you just don't get lucky with the silicon lottery lol. My ASIC is 65.4%. My temps are stable around 55C at load and I pretty much stick to...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Yeah power is good. I just took out the card and tightened the screws for the AIO it I seem to have dropped about 5-7C so maybe it was not tight enough. I can see the pcb bending slightly on the card now. Going to run it for the next couple days and see how it reacts. I actually got the...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I put the G10 and H90 on my card but I am having some issues. Before with the stock cooler I was stable at 1466 for hours. Now, I will get a driver crash after about an hour with the same overclock. My core temps in AB cap out around 60-61C with my custom fan curve. My setup is: the H90 is...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Got my card in today. I am still waiting on a vga to pwm cable before I slap the G10 on so that gives me a couple more days to stress test it on air. The cooler is actually pretty quiet but man does this card heat up fast. I am stable at 1466/8000 on air with +0mV and a fairly aggressive fan...

    MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB

    Barring a few game outliers Fury X was generally considered to be within single digit % performance with 980 Ti. The problem, to enthusiasts (which is would buy a $650 card), is that the 980 Ti overclocks very gracefully and that has not been the case with Fury X so far. That may change with...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    About how much clearance between the G10 bracket and the midplate over the VRAM? Curious since you took off the foam spacers, and I was thinking about putting some heatsinks on that midplate. Also how high were you able to click your VRAM?

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Let me know how it goes! I am curious if you will need a shim or longer screws. Are you planning on keeping the midplate and VRM plate? Backplate? My card and G10 will all be here Monday, but I don't plan to put it all on until I have had a couple days to stress test the card. I would hate...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Well they turned my order over to be filled by the manufacturer/distributor so maybe that is why...they didn't fill it. It is getting shipped from CA, no NY where they are located. This is at the bottom of the shipping email: Looks like I will not be receiving it until Monday. Not sure why...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    Yeah going to go with H90 and use the saved $ to pick up some copper heatsinks to place on the midplate over the VRAM. Should help increase surface area from the flat plate in that area, as the VRM already have a finned plate. Probably won't order all that until a week after I have played with...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I ordered on Sunday when it said delivery 7/10 and I got an email this afternoon that they sent my order to the manufacturer/distributor and my order would come direct from them. Then at about 8pm tonight I got another email that said my order shipped. Not sure how mine shipped faster than...

    Wanting a non-reference 980 Ti

    MSI and Corsair will be making a hybrid card with an AIO cooler that should be pretty quiet. I believe it is coming in August if you can hold out that long.

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I ordered on BH as well...tempted to cancel it and order from NE but tax on a $680 purchase as well as the other items to apply the G10 bracket is a solid reason to keep away from the cancel button. If one of you remove the heatsink on your card, let me know if the G10 can fit without a shim!

    GTX 980 Ti Classified.

    I agree with Tainted on the differences. If you look at EVGA site here it lists the comparison: EVGA comparison chart near the bottom. You will notice it has double bios, 14+3 power phase (instead of 6+2) and also changes to 2x8 pin power connectors. Usually the components used such as...

    MSI Launches The GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

    I am looking at doing the same thing - MSI Gaming with AIO and bracket. I plan to retain the midplate and backplate though. Waiting to hear if I will need a copper shim or not as the die area looks pretty clear compared to the EVGA ACX that has the 4 metal tabs from their midplate that come...

    Why not get reference GTX 980 Ti + HYBRID Water Cooler

    Would a Kraken G10 bracket and a corsair AIO work on the Ti? I know they are compatible with Titan X according to NZXT's website and the TX and Ti share the same pcb. Can you still use the backplate with the NZXT bracket? I prefer the AIO as they are quieter than fans and exhaust heat out (or...

    Do you think there's a Fury/X price cut coming?

    So the question is: If the air cooled Fury has the same performance and just run a little warmer is it a great buy at $550? I think maybe.

    AMD Fury X... Wait, no DVI?!

    No horses here my friend. I am sorry I seem to have struck a sore spot with you, but whether it was the only thing on the market to fill that niche is irrelevant of the point that the Korean panels are cheap alternatives that cut corners and have no warranty compared to mainstream monitors...

    AMD Fury X... Wait, no DVI?!

    So let me get this straight, these folks with Korean monitors knowingly bought cheap monitors where corners were cut to save costs and only had a single DVI input. It was stated in Decemeber 2010 that INTEL and AMD would be moving to HDMI and DP. AMD is following through on their word and you...

    H110i GT $97.99 AC & AR @ NCIX or $92.99 @ Microcenter

    If I remember correctly the main difference with the H110 and H110i GT was the latter came with better fans. The rads were very similar with the newer one having longer end caps. Best thing I did on my original H110 was replace the crappy stock fans with Noiseblocker PK-3's which are quieter...

    390X coming soon few weeks

    I wholeheartedly agree...need a 140mm rad variant to look sweet tucked away in my Air 540 case! Before the pics with a recessed fan I was thinking about rigging it up to one of my 140mm intake fans with zip ties or some other method of southern engineering. I could still do that with 980ti...

    No AMD 300-series review samples?

    If I were AMD and I knew certain sites were going to trash on my products due to their brand allegiance to my competition, like hell I am going to send them my stuff. Pcper and legitreviews are about as unbiased as FoxNews or CNN. It is about time AMD stood up to shoddy journalism and reviews...

    Cooling capacity of various AIO coolers?

    Considering that the 295x2 is cooled by a single 120mm AIO, I think your 79xx will be ok with the same size rad. The only thing I would do is maybe change out the fan, but I hear their stock 120mm rad fans are decent (the 140mm ones on my h110 were crap so I changed to Noctua fans). Also...

    Running a tech site must be great times right now. Throw up "leaks" and say "confirmed!" then you get tons of clicks and traffic. I see people do this with Star Citizen too as they have a very vocal fanbase that falls for clickbaits as well. Less than a week and we will know for sure, poor...

    390X coming soon few weeks

    Given that pretty much every card release is accompanied by either a same day driver release, or sometimes a future patch (one before the public can download it), the placeholder ID could be a real possibility. Then they just have to replace the code with the correct ID at launch. Furthermore...

    If only more people on this forum could admit when they were wrong about something! I think if you are a tech company that does not heavily invest into R&D you will not last long as the industry moves very fast.

    Fury won't beat 980Ti, much less Titan

    I wouldn't say null and void. To my knowledge the PCIe specs were never updated so on a technicality he is right that the 295x2 TDP was over spec. Now the relevance of the 300W cap on the spec is certainly debatable (with facts of course, not subjective charts). I give credit where it is due...

    390X coming soon few weeks

    While FreeSync on TVs for consoles and Steam machines would be cool, I do not think that will happen in the lifetime of your 390X/Fury. Look how long it has taken to get it on monitors and we are still waiting for a good implementation of it. Monitor manufacturers are learning they need...

    Fury won't beat 980Ti, much less Titan

    Man so defensive, I read your link and nowhere in all 4 pages did it have any exact measurements of the plugs. Instead people guess based on the graph in the video that went from 20 to 95C. The target was set on the VRM. So I ask again show me something that specifically measured the plugs...

    Fury won't beat 980Ti, much less Titan

    Some of the ASRock x99 boards have extra power connectors (see the extra Molex just above the top PCIe: X99X Killer) I think the Gigabyte or MSI X99 boards had a SATA power connector for extra PCIe power as well.

    Fury won't beat 980Ti, much less Titan

    It was a great analogy for anyone that understands Furmark is nowhere close to real world usage scenarios. I would say the same for NV and AMD products. Furthermore, your anecdote was about operating something OUTSIDE its designed specifications. So why can't I expect my gorilla glass to...

    Fury won't beat 980Ti, much less Titan

    I completely agree, that is why when I get a new cell phone I have a fully loaded dump truck run it over to make sure the glass will not break. If it does then it is defective because it did not pass the worst possible scenario. /sarcasm

    5930K 4.75GHz @ 1.3v - Think I got a great chip and need help pushing it further

    You can try small bumps in the CPU input voltage and System Agent Voltage. While I was not as lucky with my 5820K, I can hit 4.6 stable with 1.3v and slightly bumping those voltages. I do not care to drive it so high though so I keep it at 4.5 and lower power (realistically the performance...

    You do not know a GF respun Hawaii with GCN 1.2 would get annihilated. Nobody knows that although lots of sketchy "benchmarks" around I am sure. Now, if they just bump clocks and rebadge it then sure it would not be a competitive product against the 980. Also AMD should capitalize on the...

    390X coming soon few weeks

    I agree, everyone and their brother is pulling numbers and estimates out of their hind regions these days. However, I have to disagree on the $399 Hawaii refresh unless it is a direct rebadge. If they respin it at GF and bring it up to GCN 1.2 (hard to call it Hawaii then IMO) that could...

    5820K overclock stability?

    I run stable at 4.5 on my 5820k. I have not run AIDA64 but I have encoded a ton without issue. My corsair H110 fans were changed out for some Noiseblocker PK-3 and my case fans were changed to Noctua NH14 PWM so everything is cool and quiet unless I'm doing long encoding sessions. I think the...

    Yet the Geforce 780 TI which has 3gb VRAM and the original Titan at 6gb perform the same at 4k in pretty much all those games. Shadow of Mordor @4K Dying Light @4K Lords of the Fallen @4K I could do links all your games but I think you get the point. Really the only people getting these...
