I have a DQ6, mostly because it has DDL and DTS Connect. One consideration is that it has a backplate for it's Crazy Cool or whatever it's called, so a heatsink that requires a backplate will take some work to be on the board. I use an Infinity which does not require a backplate.

Hey, I'm getting slippers for Christmas. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/comicfusion_1922_102375786 Footwear aside, I'd like a complete overhaul of the U.S. Government system, Muslim extremists to be less extreme, and people to take responsibility for their actions. Oh, an for all of your c...

Canada does have Bret Hart, who would be the equalizer against Chuck Norris.

The Juice is loose! How'd he manage to get around the 35m settlement? He moved to Florida where they can't take his house or cars I believe. Then he spends every sent he makes before it can be accounted for and go to the settlement. Something to that extent. I personally think he was guilty, but wa...

I would hard pressed to believe that the Ninja is one of Scythe's least popular models. If so, why would they make a updated version for AM2, why not let it die? Outside of SPCR, I see the Ninja listed for many users systems on various boards. While we don't always get products available to the Euro...

Maybe I don't know how to setup the airflow... maybe But in idle i had 64 and you 62 so it is very similar.... and WoW is not a stressing game, try some benchmark that really make the GPU work then we will see the temp, and in an hot summer add 10°. I am glad you are happy with this card, I am not...

Sizzle : What setup have you got at the moment ? Be interesting to compare your story with the others on this card :) I have my card in a CM Stacker 830. Input and output fans are 120mm Scythe S-Flex E's. I let my BIOS determine the fan control to use (either Intel fan control or the gigabyte). The...

hey cobalt, can you do us a favour and measure how long that card is ? I'm curious as to wether it will fit in my htpc :) Cheers This is not a good card for a desktop PC if that is the type of case you have. It's more suited for a tower with good airflow. I have my card in and it works well, but it...

I just ordered an MSI 7950gt silent, wich differs a little from the XFX... I had a hard time finding pictures of the heatsink on this one, but I found one site: http://www.mistermod.com/noticias.php?Id_Noticia=176 The heatsink fins seem to be larger, hopefully a more efficent cooling too. I'm not s...

Pioneer's XL series of DVDRW's drives were dampened.

Good job. I have to say when I first saw the thread title, I thought "why would you need to softmount a fan on the Ninja?" Then I was suprised at your creativity to put a smaller fan on there for emergency backup.

Good idear!

I have the non extreme version on the way from newegg. Though I am still waiting for my RMA on my mobo

46C seems kinda high for a Core 2 Duo to idle at. My 6300 idled in the 20's with a Infinity and a S Flex

I thought I read the x1950 did a better job with power then the x1900 but I can't recall where I read that at.

One main advantage of the Infinity is it can be installed on a socket 775 without removing the motherboard.

965 is also very imature of a chipset. Lots and lots of early adopter issues. BIOS updates for the boards are happening on a weekly basis almost (Asus at least). The bulk of 965 boards have Azalia, and a few (expensive ones) have DTS Connect. Some of the 965 boards say they are ready got the quad co...

That is the EE 3800 not the 65 watt one he's comparing. Comparison wise the e6300 is closer the 4x00+ tier of X2's in performance. All X2 3800+'s process identically. Well there is some very minor difference between the AM2 and S939 versions, but the only thing different about the EE and SF EE vers...

The E6300 isn't always faster than the X2 3800+ at video encoding even . That is the EE 3800 not the 65 watt one he's comparing. Comparison wise the e6300 is closer the 4x00+ tier of X2's in performance. As for undervolting, that is a concept I never really follow. I understand the concept, but pis...

The e6300 should not be any hotter running but it will mop the floor with the 3800+ performance wise.

....coming soon to a dual gfx system somewhere with a 700+ watt psu.

I recently installed a Ninja on my 3800+ system. It is cooling the processor extremely well. Via speedfan, I notice that my processor usually loads at around 42-45, however, I now notice that my PWM loads at 52ish. I'm not sure what reccomended temperature the PWM's on motherboards can safely run a...

Thanks. It does not mention this, but everything I have read QST uses some system memory, possibly for calculating the algorithms.

Anyone know any detailed information on the Intel QST, Quest System Technology, that is in the new Core 2 Duo motherboards? Aside from this simple description, I can find no detailed info on Intel's site. I have a Gigabyte P965 mobo, and it does not really explain the tech either. From Intel's site:...

whats the point? no one can even build a computer that gets anywhere near 750watts. lets say you do an SLI setup with x1900xtx's. i think their rated at 120watts each. add in 100watts for a new core2 duo motherboard/cpu/memory. lets say you get 4 hard drives in like raid 0+1 that are 10k sata, your...

Intel stock hsf uses a 4 pin pwm connector.

I have a E6300 on the way, looking at any performance tests, it out performs procs that cost quite a bit more then it does.

I did drop some big dollars on my mother board though, but I guess that depends on the features you want.

I've had a 830 for a while now, and I really like it. Just been too busy to post pics and a write up. Maybe soon. By the design if it, it's a difficult case to make quiet.

I have the 1600XT, very heavy, but I am happy with the card.
