You could get a reverse ATX case, but the cooler will still blow into the cooler

I'm sure you could figure out a way to reverse the fans on certain models.

I'm currently lusting after a 780 Ti, so of course it must go here.

dj-electric · Dec 1, 2013

Currently testing a GTX 780 Ti Windforce Ghz Edition
Once you know how fast does a full GK110 run at 1250Mhz, the card seems much prettier

radrok · Dec 1, 2013

How much is it clock per clock compared to a GTX 780? and Titan just in case.

Also don't forget to enable LLC to get that 0.025v !!

+0.025v is cute, this card allows +0.075v with a dedicated voltage controller

They rebuilt it's PCB to have another 2 phases over reference.

radrok · Dec 1, 2013

Is it 0.075v over 1.212v or 1.175v?

Reference can go up to 1.25v atm, I guess you can push to 1.3v? Right?

Thanks

Sorry for the little derailing, qubit

Well I received a box full of some ole hardware today. In the box was some motherboards, chips, coolers, memory, and.........................................

Well, open the spoiler and see. :peace:

A frigging Voodoo 5 5500!!!!!!!! Wow, been wanting one of these forever to add to my seriously crazy ass collection of nostalgic hardware. LOLOL

Even had the original Quick Install book with it!! Simply amazing. :toast:

Wish it came with the original box.......I know, that is asking too much LOL

I honestly thought the original titan cooler looks pretty damn good too.

i really like how Elsa's GTX 970 and 980 only think that's bad is they are only available in japan

pretty bland and plain .... again what's really hot about that over used reference design? color? led? ... nah just plain and tasteless, if it's a contender then all ref titan titan black 780 780Ti 770 are too

a contrario: these are hot looking

although i understand that not all have the sames definition of "hot"

for me the hottest card doesn't come from a AIB (and not meaning hottest because of temps :roll:

)
