    Fractal Design Torrent Compact RGB TG Light Tint

    I didn't see any significant temperature difference. I tested this with an older AIO (Liquid Freezer I 240) and just the pump became noisier than usual, not by much, but enough to become noticeable. I suspect this was also due to coolant getting less over time even though the CLC was factory...

    Fractal Design Torrent Compact RGB TG Light Tint

    AIOs generally don't like being put at the bottom of a PC case, especially when the AIO pump is above the rad and has to struggle with pumping the coolant through the entire system, such as with any AIO based on Asektek's design. Seeing this particular AIO model that has the pump attached to...

    NZXT Expands its Kraken AIO Liquid CPU Cooler Line

    They should be compatible with the G12. Any AIO with the standard (round) Asetek mounting will fit the G12, even if that particular AIO isn't listed on the G12 support list, since NZXT seems to no longer care about keeping the list updated. I mounted a first gen AC Liquid Freezer 240 onto the...

    Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO GPU Cooler

    Are the QC hoses of the Eiswolf 2 compatible with those of the Eisbaer LT? They seem to look a bit different color wise, thus I'm not sure if the quick disconnects would properly match each other.

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    After having installed the 280.19 driver + the modded driver, the windows desktop shows down in the right corner "Test Mode Windows 7 build7601". Is this normal behavior?

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    I'll be using sli patch on my amd 790fx chipset at least until the x79 platform shows up. I won't be upgrading to the new sli amd motherboards which don't seem to bring much improvement to performance since there are no bulldozer chips on the market yet.

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Thanks for your input. The only thing which "fixed" somewhat my de-sync / double image problem was to lower the frequency to 110 Hz, which resulted in flickering of the glasses, still it was playable like before the 270.61 driver release. Unfortunately running it in 110 Hz mode gave me a...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    That's correct, I installed SLIPatch first and then the drivers. I rebooted after installing the drivers, the system asked me to do it it anyway. I installed the drivers in SLI boot. When I installed the 270.61 drivers first, I had the 266.58 drivers + SLIPatch v.1 final running, which worked...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Yes, I did uninstall all nvidia drivers in safe mode and did a driver cleaner run as well. I'll try the unused "neighbor USB plug" trick when i get home, although i only have the USB cable for the glasses plugged in, but they're not connected to the glasses so they theoretically shouldn't...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Darkbluesky, thanks for your input. Well, the SLIPatch was installed with administrator privileges and UAC disabled on beforehand. Afterwards, i proceeded with the 270.61 drivers and the required reboots and activation of 3d vision. The IR emitter is connected at the back of the case, so it...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    I get some similar symptoms with 3d vision glasses enabled and running on latest 270.61 drivers in combination with 1.42 SLIPatch. The glasses tend to get outta sync. Basically this is what happens: the game starts and it runs fine in 3d vision mode, however after a couple of minutes I'm...

    How To: Enable SLI on pre-i7/i5 hardware

    Did you update the driver in SLI mode boot option upon OS selection or in the normal boot option? Thanks.
