I was running SLI but had many issues; swapped to a completely different mainboard and the problems were not solved. Testing each card individually did not reveal which card was bad and I did not have a third card to swap around with to isolate the bad card, so I sent both cards back to NewEgg for r...

Ed, is your BFG card a Geforce 7800 GTX? While BFG is selling the GeForce 7800 GTX, assumptions based on their previous cards don't apply as Nvidia didn't give them enough time to deviate from the reference design. Yes it is. I ended up getting rid of my two XFX cards and getting a BFG one (long st...

You'll know in a few days; I ended up returning my XFX cards to NewEgg since one of them appears to be faulty and won't work right in SLI mode--don't have a third card to help figure out which of the two it was, so I sent both back and NewEgg is currently out of stock on XFX cards, so they just refu...

I'm wondering its possible to tweak the 2D clock speed so it puts out even less heat when you're idling. Has anybody tried this? Thanks in advance. The 2D and 3D clocks are set separately, yes. I've also noticed that the card, when in 2D or idle runs fairly quietly, but when it kicks the fan in und...

The I, the data transfer interface is SATA, not PCI; the PCI interface is A) a physical form factor so that there's a place to put the thing in one's system and B) so that the device can receive standby power when the system is off but the ATX power supply is connected and on (the very same standby ...

#1: I honestly don't know; it's difficult to say because the airflow is designed to go straight through; I think it would work fine if oriented to blow out the back and a fan is mounted to it, but fanless, I am unsure. You'd have to try it to really know. #2: It is only adjustable for how deep into ...

I wonder why they made it with 2 DVI ports and no D-SUB port. DVI can carry analogue, D-SUB can't carry DVI. So you can't run two DVI flat-panels from DVI+D-SUB, but you can run two analogue monitors from DVI+DVI (assuming they're the right flavour, and you have the DVI->D-SUB widgets). And my XFX ...

What Mike is describing here is what I've traditionally called, "baffle-effect," acoustics. It's basically that mid-low to low frequency sound that occurs when the air pressure within a damped enclosure fluctuates rapidly due to flow. By capping off the top, the effect is amplified, as there is less...

Re: photos--I'm still working on the best overall solution in terms of keeping max performance while dropping noise little by little and maintaining 100% stability. Once that's finalized, I'll be able to do a final clean up of my cabling, at which point I'm perfectly happy to shoot some photos. As o...

What Tzupy is talking about is precisely what I'm already doing; HTT255 * 11.0 = ~2800, at 2.0 8-3-2 1T. When I have more games that benefit from >1GB than I do that don't, then I'm adding more and switching down to 2.5 8-3-3 2T. And just to clarify exactly what the basic issue here is--many people ...

First of all, RTCM is also in there. Second of all, I am using specifically high voltages (3.1-3.5) which is why I got the VX. Btw I've been playing BF2 on this machine for the last couple of days and I don't see where I'm losing this dramatic performance you're talking about for using "just" a gig,...

As just one example, take a look at the results from this recent test using the very same memory I bought, OCZ Gold VX. Notice that the timing settings are already quite close between all the tested samples in here, and the results show consistent and obvious differences; remember that with dual 780...

a gig of RAM This is a mistake; Battlefield 2 actually uses almost an entire gig while running [at highest detail]. I can send you taskman screenshots if you're skeptical. As of mid-2005, all high end gaming rigs should have > 1gb. And any gaming rig definitely needs 1gb minimum! I never said there...

If this thing is built like I think it is, it looks like a decent candidate for water cooling with minimal modding... And it's nicer looking than a YY Cube, and takes less space, not to mention likely cheaper and less heavy. YY Cube is currently one of the very few choices for a case that can handle...

Hey btw... S12-600 and AN8-SLI work fine together in P180; cables reach where they need to without need for extensions, even with a pair of 7800GTX adapters and a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZX blocking the path of the P4 cable. In fact the only real issue was getting a cable to reach the spare molex pow...
