As infrequently as humanly possible.

x1950pro causing my computer to crash while playing games.

I like overkill, I know I can use a 600watt and be more than okay, but hey. Overkill is more fun in my book.

x1950pro causing my computer to crash while playing games.

My fans didn't ramp above 40% according to ATi Tools. I don't like the temps that high, but hey. They are right next to each other, they are single height coolers. I was thinking about the 1KW Enermax, EGA something.

x1950pro causing my computer to crash while playing games.

I'd expect PSU problems too. I'm, stupidly, running two 1950 Pros on a 530 and I get the exact same issue in C&C3+Sup. Com. I ran ATi Tools on the other monitor while I played, temps didn't top out too much above 90, stock cooling no O/C. Am currently waiting on some pay so I can get a...

Sony dvd rw dw-d22a

I have a friend whos DVD drive that will, annoyingly, only burn .iso files, as oppose to just files, as Nero Express allows you to. There have been no software changes that I'm aware of, or that they have made me aware of, there's no games published by Kochmedia so Starfarce isn't causing...

X1950Pro water cooling

I like W/C, because I'm pretty much the only person I know in person (As oppose to online) who does (did) it. And I liked the temps during the summer >.>

X1950Pro water cooling

I've actually just ditched my W/C loop all together. I have two 1950's now, and as both are different. See image Text for a depiction of what I mean. It'd be too much of a pain in the backside to W/C the both of them, with their different layouts. I'm using a thermalright XP120 or some...

X1950Pro water cooling

Well, I already have watercooling, for the CPU, and have done for quite some time. That, unlike the GPUs, is overclocked. I would prefer lower temps on my GPUS, I can imagine during some proper gaming sessions that they will spike well above the ~70 I've seen. Besides which, from what I...

X1950Pro water cooling

Just got a second 1950Pro, same as the previous (Sapphire 256), and guess what. It's got a different block on it, and would be fine with any of the solutions mentioned here, without additional fabrication. Question is, do I bother W/Cing? I have no intention of O/Cing, and they barely hit...

X1950Pro water cooling

Personally, I'm using 3/8th due to space inside the case, I found that airflow for non W/c parts was really restricted by the 1/2" I was using. As for pump strength, I was planning to up the current pump to an Eheim 1250, I figured two GPU blocks, DD TDX and a Thermochill PA120.2 should be no...

X1950Pro water cooling

If you look at the Sapphire X1950Pro Ultimate, it has an additional heatsink at the rear of the card - This appears to cover three things for cooling. I'm running a standard 256mb 1950 Pro myself, as such don't have that heatsink spare. Although some waterblocks list compatability with 1950...

How Big Of A PSU For Two 8800s In SLI?

Huzah, my PSU would support 8800's... As if I'd ever buy any. I'm not hugely surprised that most of the list are in the KW range. Two 8800s can hardly be being friendly with power, can it. What, requiring two 6-pin additional power sources each. I guess someone's going to have to start...

Sony Data Sheet: Price comparison of PS3 premium VS Xbox 360 Core

I heard about it, but never bothered to read it.. Damnit, Sony are screwing up in my opinion. I remember being up until three AM watching the live E3 broadcast, and being excited like a child all over again. Funny how, in the space of a few months, they've actually convinced me not to get one.

So who got a PS3 reserve today?

PS3 probably won't drop in price until Sony realise that they're not a premium brand and cannot ask for a price that high for their product. Even if they call it a home media centre it's not going to sell. Granted, it's a cheap(er) Blu-ray player, but that's not enough to make it exclusive. I...

Hynix DDR2 SODIMM

I did look at getting a single gb stick, something like £90 shipped for some Corsair stuff. I can get the matched 512's off him for £60, or there abouts. I was thinking, save some money by buying the RAM off him, and spend the saved cash on a processor upgrade.

Sudden loss of video while gaming on X1900XT

When my card does that (X800, don'tget too excited =P) it's a VPU recover. Whatever the hell causes it, I don't know. Happens mostly during Fable: TLC, I don't recall it happening anywhere else..

ATI R580+ FORMERLY KNOWN AS X1950 XTX RELEASE DATE

That's the best thing about new releases, IMO. More often than not the previous items get shoved off to the side and prices go south :D Hoorah for not being on the bleeding edge of technology.

WideScreen Displays

Bought mine a few months ago, love it much more than any of my vast CRT army. I wouldn't object to a shade higher on the resolution, a shade bigger than 1680x1050. Other than that, to use a terribly annoying collection of characters. <3 for widescreen.

Suggestion for a WC case?

Just looked at the Kandalf LCS. The door rdiator mount looks like a good idea, and would make it easier for you, but my biggest concern with that is the tubing size, because TT will probably be basing it on their 6.4mm tubing, rather than something like 1/2 inch. And Tygons wall thickness, while...

Suggestion for a WC case?

The thing you need to bear in mind when mounting the rad it is you'll need space for teh header tanks and the parts (Usually 35mm long at most, my TC barbs are about that.) short of actually toying with some drawing, or the parts themselves, it's more difficult to work out what to put where...

Suggestion for a WC case?

My biggest concern with putting the rad at the bottom would be the cards in the mobo, and their height interfearing with the rad, and the other thought for that is, where you'd mount the pump, the PA 120.2 is a lot fatter than the pictures make it look, I was surprised when I got it out of the...

Which is a really good watercooling setup to get?

Personally, I'd look at car heater matricies, and if you can find 'em, 12volt waterpumps from cars/motorcycles. Tehy may be noiser than the things you can get 'specifically for pcs' but they're a damnsight more powerfull. Rad. wise you're talking 30kilowatts + cooling power vs your 1-2 kilowatt...
