I have an almost 8yr in service old OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ-FTY1000W-EU that used to power 2x R9 290 (275watt each) and an OC 2700k. I now have much lower watt hardware 5600x/GTX1070/2 SSD/1HDD/ 8x 140mm fans. It has been working just fine and don't need to touch it. I ordered a extra PSU Seasonic...
I did find in the Windows display settings where I could increase hardware acceleration and I told PHOTOS to run at max acceleration. Now my home videos in 4k 60fps are playing better with far less CPU. I didn't have to make these setting changes in those other 2 systems though. Maybe left over...
Yes, they are all Windows 10 64bit. Some are Home some are Pro version.
I did turn on a chrome setting to not use software encoding and it appears to be working better at least with youtube 4k /60fps. My CPU is barely working now and even my GPU shows only 1% or so.
I have added some modern low end cards in this last year to get smooth 4k playback on these Media centers. My dual core G3258 paired with a Nvidia 1030 has made that system be able to handle even 8k 60fps youtube no problem. I just did a upgrade on another media PC that couldn't handle 4k...
So we can save money and support the confusion of a group of people? Loving someone is telling them the truth with genuine love. Not supporting something that is scientifically false. Support the person not the lie.
What on earth does this have to do with Hot Deals?

I'm no expert on the current latest and greatest aside from google searching. I did buy a 600/650 Rosewill Platinum a few years back and so far so good, no issues, runs quiet. The system hasn't seen much use though. I had the same concern and the reviews I found for the power supply showed it as...

Pioneer 1222 receiver receiving LPCM audio via HDMI out of my AMD 6970 HDMI. Dobly Digital, DTS , Dolby True HD & DTS Master all work correctly when watching DVD or BluRay movies. The receiver properly jumps over and reads Dolby TrueHD when BluRay is playing and then back when it is a...
Ok, I had in the past month back when I first noticed this issue and was trying to figure it out uninstalled the APC software and tested the issue with Windows Power management. Same issue occurred.
This time I uninstalled the APC software again, moved the USB data cable that was going to a...
Truly thank you for responding and trying to help. I would ask you to read my post again because your questions were already answered in my original post. :)
Like I said in the OP, I can run the system for 30mins if I simply disconnect the cable. The battery is fine, the run time is fine...
I have a APC UPS XS1500 battery back up. When the PC goes off AC power from the wall and the UPS kicks in my system will go blank screen and then shut off properly. Almost if it is going into hibernate. Upon reboot there is no " your pc shut down incorrectly " nor does it load up from a...
Anyone? Is two medium RPM 120mm fans too much for the single header on a video card? I guess if I knew what the super loud reference fan was then that would help.
Think it is safe?
Finally got the last bits to reuse my Prolimatech MK-26 on my $217 ebay 290. Installed the cooler and currently am running dual Corsair 120mm SP High Performance fans off the header. They are rated at .18amps each. I have a fan NZXT controller for all my case fans and I could use an empty header...
Never understood why zip ties aren't mentioned. I just installed my MK-26 w/ dual 120mm Corsair SP onto my reference 290 and like on my 6970 this 4slot cooler has serious sag issues. Simply get creative with a couple zip ties. I used a 120mm fan hole closest to my MB and ran it from the bottom...

If noise is a concern I would think put the quieter card (TF) on the top so the louder card can run cooler. Either way the reference should exhaust more hot air so I bet that will be best regardless of noise preference.
I run eyefinity running 3x 1080p monitors. I started back with a 5850 1gb...
ibex, hey I just decided to add some pep to my old 775 system. I replaced the e6300 w/ a free E8400 (thanks Brother in Law) on my Non OC Intel MB. Took out a 6570 1gb DDR3 and dropped in a 7850 MSI TF3 ($93 AR) and I'm sure it's bottlenecked but my in game performance on the one game installed...
Well 7850 was finally delivered at 930 "PM". OnTrac didn't even knock and the package sat on the porch in 19 degree weather till 330am when I woke up. Lets just say OnTrac has proven to be my least favorite delivery company after about 10 deliveries in the last 6months. DHL/Smartmail seems like...
Decided to try the 7850 and if it's too noisy for what I need I will just send it back or sell it on CL. The 7790 won't show up till early next week most likely so I have sometime to see how the 7850 will do. The extra muscle will be nice when turning up in game detail levels but only if those...
Wow, opposite information. It's just hard to tell which would be best. You would think 85 vs 130 TDP would make a difference in power savings , heat and noise but maybe not.
I already told OnTrac ( not so much on track) to refuse delivery. They are pretty terrible so I bet it's still in the...
Seriously... you are the man. Thank you so much for the insite. I will stay with the slower , cheaper but quieter option. Again thank you SOOOO much for taking the time to help on this thread. Take care!!
Wow, excellent. Someone that has had both cards. Thank you for the reply. Are the Asus 7790 fans larger? I do not plan to Overclock it at all, I want cool n quiet. If you factor in the limiting system I will be running the card in I would think the 7790 would be a better fit anyway. The itch I...
I already ordered both cards and the 7850 is arriving today. I originally leaned towards the 7850 for the obvious 2gb and overall better speed. But then I realized Cool and Quiet is my focus. The system is a much dated E8400 / 4gb DDR2 / SSD + HDD / AMD 6570 / Antec 900 case w/ newer Corsair...
Well had the system up and running for over a week now. Easy enjoyable build. Love the routing of cables. I added 2 more 140mm fans and a extra 120mm all running on the middle 7v setting. Picked up a cheap tower cooler for my Pentium D and temps are good.
Not sure how long the fan bracket...
Yeah I ordered the R4. I know it won't have the airflow of my 900 but since I love my R2 XL(main rig) I know this is just the slighly smaller version. I ordered two more Artic140mm fans plus I had an extra Hyperborea 140mm. Total 5x 140mm. 3 on the intakes and 2 on top of case . Keep the fans...
I have Windows Home Server 2011 w/ 7 HDD currently installed in a Antec 900 case that I added an extra 3x HDD bay to. Each 3x HDD bay as a 120mm coolmaster fan blowing through the drives. I believe my cooling is about as good as I could hope for with the 3x 120 intakes directly on the drives and...
Thanks TheEyeDoc for updating your post. I have been researching adding another 5850 for my Eyefinity setup (6040x1080) 3x23". Think I will hold off till the 6970 come down a bit in price in the next 6months or till my HTPC needs the 5850 and I can upgrade my main system. Thanks for the info...
Well this Asus 4870 sure is a warm running card. From the looks of it , it runs cooler then other 4870's. With standard 50% (fairly noisy) fan speed it idles around 53c in a case that doesn't breath all that well (2x 60mm exhaust fan & 120mm PSU fan exhaust).
I set the fans to 25 percent...
Wouldn't the dated 4870 @ $90 AR be the best bang for the buck? Besides the DX11, why not grab it as a much more powerful hold me over card and wait for the next wave of video cards. Almost wish I would have taken my own advice with buying a 5850 a few months ago for $290. I love the card but...
Thanks for the feedback & opinions. I decided to test the system without the video card since I already removed the 9800GT. I plugged it into a Watt Meter and then connected via remote desktop(also needed to remove nvidia drivers still) to the system. Even right now with a 2nd hard drive that I...
Alright I jumped on a $90 4870 to replace the 9800GT that I was going to use in my not silent HTPC. Plan on doing some Dirt2, L4D2 and maybe some Crysis on the 60" Sony. I wasn't planning on upgrading but figured I could sell my 9800GT on Craigslist and upgrade for cheap. So with my current...
Well contact me if you decide to look into it further. I bought a card in May and submitted the rebate accurately on June 1st and it still shows "initial" under status.

I feel dumb, I figured it out. Under Nvidia Settings I can adjust resolution and if I wanted the monitors seperate or cloned but can not change where the monitors sit in relation to each other.
Now under Vista I just have to go under normal display properties and again in that screen there are...
I just replaced my old G80 8800GTS for a very light upgrade 9800GT. I loaded the latest Vista 64bit drivers and then attempted to setup my 2nd display. I found I had to swap my monitor cables to get my secondary monitor to appear on the left side of my main screen. In the past I wouldn't need to...
Possible, but wouldn't the playback over the same network also show signs if it was a bad nic,cable,driver? The same content playbacks back fine over the network.
I have tried a different ethernet cable but not a new nic / drivers. Easily can try that though.
Yes, the trial software I installed included PP1. And I have ran all the updates. Its great I have a working solution now on my video ripping but now one left hurdle to get over and that is saving to the server has issues where any other network PC has no problems.
