Kraken G10 on Asus STRIX 980 worth it?

Yeah I ran my 7970s with no VRM cooling at all just the H55 ziptied to GPU and it worked like champ. Ran hot, but no issues. The G10 then brought the VRM temps down to normal with the fan on them alone. Thinking maybe just pulling the 7970s and throwing them up for sale as they sit with the...

Kraken G10 on Asus STRIX 980 worth it?

I guess my only hesitation with using it would be minimal gains and potentially voiding the warranty on the new card.

Kraken G10 on Asus STRIX 980 worth it?

Yeah I'm not sure how much I'm gonna push at this point and honestly I've had minimal issue with VRM cooling on my 7970s with the G10s but I'm not sure if that's a bigger deal on the 980. The Asus cooler does look pretty solid and is supposedly pretty quiet as well (which is what prompted the...

Kraken G10 on Asus STRIX 980 worth it?

As the title says, is it worth the effort to do this? I currently have two 7970s, each with a G10 and Corsair H55 cooling them. This setup works great, but I'll be replacing them with an Asus STRIX GTX 980 at the end of the week. Should I just leave the cooler alone for now since I won't be...

anyone use myfitnesspal?

As long as you use it and are honest with it, it works great. I've lost a good bit of weight using it to track my meals.

Watercooling for MSI gtx 760?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. I have a pair of those on my 7970s and they've been working great for about 6 months now. Soooo much cooler and quieter.

Would your tipping pattern change if you are rich?

For standard service my tipping habits certainly wouldn't change, but for the occasional instance of exceptional service, my tipping amount would certainly increase.

does quality bourbon whiskey matter more if your making cocktails

If I'm mixing whiskey I wouldn't use good stuff. I buy the good stuff to sip straight.

Spirit Airlines can suck it

Yeah I learned this lesson a recent trip to Vegas. Friends were going and didn't want to spend a ton on flights we booked the cheapest flight we found. They just simply suck.

7D to EOS M?

How you rank the EOS M as a point and shoot to compliment the 7D? At this point I realize that getting rid of the 7D seems to be the wrong way to go so it's a matter of finding a point and shoot for everyday things. I still like the idea of the EOS M though for the flexibility.

7D to EOS M?

Well I'm pretty sure upgrading the S90 with another good point and shoot is the best way to go. I don't use the S90 because it's my wife's camera so I very rarely know where it is. It's also fairly old, battery life is not so great anymore, and honestly I think my phone is almost on par...

7D to EOS M?

I guess I don't mind the "stuff" sometimes, it just holds me back for quick uses. I like having the option, even if I don't use it much, but I do see what you're saying. I'm wondering if simply upgrading the wife's S90 would be the better solution....decisions decisions.

7D to EOS M?

To be honest, I have backpacks, straps, slings, etc and I still don't use it. It's just not convenient to carry and/or remember when I already have two kids to contend with as well. Hell, my daughter's birthday was last month and I forgot to pack the camera up and take it to her party because I...
