For VISTA BOINC works the same with HT on as HT off, just an FYI. Apparently HT slows it down drastically, but only in VISTA

what about W7? :confused:

PaulieG · Apr 19, 2009

Hey guys. I'm looking for some new fans for my rad to improve cooling my i7, and minimize noise. This is my Rad:

What do you guys suggest? I don't want to spend a fortune on fans.

i WILL GET SOME OF THESE SOON, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TOO!

however I dont know how they are with noise. But they sure would cool better

CP, when I said VISTA for the BOINC thing I meant VISTA only.

N4cot1c · Apr 19, 2009

I'm still stuck on whether to get a XSPC Triple or the MCR320 Sandwich with 6 fans. I would get the quad, but IDK where I would put it, so it's looking more and more like the XSPC triple.

just making sure, since W7 and vista are very similar OS'es.

Binge give me an update on your water cooling, hows that going dude?

So where are you mounting the rads?

also what will your loop look like....

how many waterblocks and what pumps, all the details, I went looking for your rig stats, what's your system again.... all this info are factors that impact cooling, so lets get a refresh for the new people just joining the convo so they don't have to go back and read a lot of pages...

is this the case the xclio 1000.

looks like it shouldn't be too hard to mount a rad to the top internally heh?

SystemViper · Apr 19, 2009

that case is a giant

it is, kinda similar to the chief tech i would say heh?

PaulieG · Apr 20, 2009

OK guys. I sold my Gene and my Gskill Pi sticks. I need to buy new sticks tonight. These are the contenders. Help me decide!

I really like the tridents. They will match my Blood Rage perfectly, but are they worth the extra cash?

SystemViper · Apr 20, 2009

G.SKILL Trident 6GB ftw

i WANT TO TRY THEM MYSELF, ESPECIALLY THAT PRICE!

Yeah, I'm really close to pulling the trigger on these. I'm slightly suspicious as to why they are so cheap. I wonder what IC's are in these beauties?

Binge · Apr 20, 2009

You know they are probably really high binned ICs whatever they are, and knowing GSKill they will run at the specified settings, but probably no higher.

I'm sure they are D9's or Elpida Hypers. I'm just wondering why they are so cheap!!

I doubt they are hypers at that price, but for that price they look good to me..

I heard that Hypers were becoming more plentiful, and the prices were coming down on them.

Binge · Apr 20, 2009

They still cost a premium right now. Also Hypers I doubt would be cas 9.

Yeah, I forgot they are cas 9. Probably D9JMN sticks.

If my RMA on my board does not go as planned and they do not fix it or give me a new one, can anyone suggest a good mobo. I had the MSI eclispe x58 SLI. I hear good things about the DFI around here and the ASUS. Any suggestions.

N4cot1c · Apr 20, 2009

Its going to be a CPU loop only

Your right patty. I should be able to fit a quad on the top.

My watercooling setup is going to look something like this

Should have the money in a week. If you guys have any suggestions, don't hesititate to tell me.
