I think its more to do with using only 1.24v for 4GHz. Most people need 1.3v+ and thats when their temperature rise above 70c.
I'm running two single loop systems at the moment and their temperatures are stellar. Dual loops means another pump, and it just adds to the...
With SLI supporting games, the 9800GX2 is generally faster than the GTX 280, but it was only a filler gap until the 280 arrived. Both cards use...
I've still got their GTX 280 OCX. The largest factory overclock at the time for the 280.
Cards like the HD 5970 can gain 15fps from massive overclocks to 1GHz. Takes it from 5850 crossfire performance to over 5870 crossfire...
I recent built a core i7 920 and an HD 5970 into the 800D with watercooling. In my build, I put a XSPC RX360 radiator in the roof, a Black Ice...
If the 920 hits 4.0GHz with under 1.3v, definitely switch it. My old 920 requires little extra voltage to reach 4.0GHz, where as the new one...
This whole video seems to be based around rubbishing the core i7 and its users. He keeps saying the Xeon series of CPUs are better, but can only...
Use the H70 with Push/Pull 1850rpm scythe gentle typhoons on the CPU. Then I would get a laing DDC pump, with perhaps a reservoir pump top...
If I remember, altering the fan speeds required editing the bios of the card. It could be a case of the bios being altered resulting in a loss of...
I've never had a problem with GPU waterblocks and air getting trapped. Given the nature of the block design, the water plows through the channels...
I think the only reason someone might buy one is to own an iconic graphics card. Its a shame that I ended up with the 8800 GTS 320 instead of the...
I know it was wrong, so I ended up changing it immediately. By then however, I had wanted to put a 5970 in anyway. A quite stupid error, but I...
//Update// After wrestling with high temperatures and other issues, I've finally finished the build and have a 5970 to replace the previous gtx...
To anyone saying 100% load temperatures on a core i7 should be under 50, thats plain wrong. Unless your running San Ace or Delta fans at 3000RPM,...
If you take into consideration that the block is on tight, and you have used less paste, you can only come to two conclusions ; either the block...
I know this could be a silly mistake, but make sure your inlet and outlet on the GPU are NOT on the same side, i.e both on the far left ports....
The block probably isn't making very good contact with GPU. I would go around the screws checking whether they're fully tightened. Also, my...
Your idle temperatures are most likely so high because of the ambient temperature in your room. Also, the reason why the PC wasn't stable is...
I think you're going to have to look at the AMD Athlon dual cores and the MSi 770 C45. That should come to under £100. Then, factor in £30 for the...
