Quite complaining Mike, you should bless you luck! Just think, all that lovely snow, all those low temps, ... why I could open my window, and get AT LEAST another 10% better O/C. Might even break 4Ghz.

Could be a couple of things: First thing: " Capacitor Squeal or excessive loading. You're pushing the 'board too far. When you back off the O/C the noise goes away.

But what are all the different eVGA skus? There are 581s and 582s and 583s, etc. Anyone know? Looks like they might have some different cooling solutions, but I can't be sure if that is the only thing. All they are are various speeds of 7900 GTs, with as you said slightly different cooling solution...

Nvidia is well aware of the problem, they just don't want to go public with it. Nvidia doesn't have to care about it since anything above reference-speed isn't supported by Nvidia but by the manufacturer.

Check out this review at [H]ardOCP. It should help you out. "No less than twenty-four screws had to be removed to open the casing and get at the two final screws that hold the radiator in place."

The first thing is to stay away from Nvidia based 'boards. They consume much more power. It seems the most efficient boards today are using ATI chipsets. Unless you're going to wait and buy one of the new Conroe CPUs, which are very energy efficient, then that would mean you will have to get an Athl...

Anodized in gold? What is the point? Copper is a better conductor of heat. The block is probably made of copper, the radiator is probably aluminum. By coating the block with gold there will be no galvanism. Koolance has done the same thing with their systems since the beginning. A copper radiator t...

So it now looks like a pretty solid bet that these new 750gb drives demand extra cooling, meaning at least a dedicated fan now. Guess it goes to show that I don't want such a large drive due to heat.

Linux support for video decoding is a bit tricky to set up and incomplete. I don't believe most of purevideo's features are available using xvmc.

Well, I found this: GeForce 6 and 7 GPUs all have a video engine built into them. The engine, powered by the PureVideo software, will get an upgrade in ForceWare 85 that will enable the H.264 decoding. Most GPUs from the 6600GT and upwards will be able to handle full bitrate, 1080p content, accordi...
