All that hardware ^^^^^^ Just sits on my desk, well thats whats on my desk for today LOL.

*EDIT* Sorry for the terrible camera, because my hole computer is spotless and free of dust this camera makes my computer look gunky >.< .

Any of that older hard ware for sale?

 

[p_o_s_pc]

what card is that sitting on the desk?

That 9600gso maybe but not at the moment ;D

HD 4870 1gb saphire, the other is a xfx 9600gso

willing to donate me that 9600GSO for folding?It would have a nice home with me

Looking toward selling it cause im going to eventualy go to micro center for a e8200/q8400/q9550 I just need moneys :/

*EDIT* Ive never exchanged or sold anything on ebay or paypal, and dont have a heatware :/

i'm sure some folder would snatch that up in a second... If i could sell my 3870 and buy that card that would be awesome.But i don't have a cam ATM(gf still has it) so i can't post pics to open a thread to sell it

Prices combat!

i put my 3870 up for sale now... I forgot i have a cellphone with a cam on it I just have way to much on my mind

Gonna do some major changes soon.

now come on.... what do you need a gpu-only loop for?
thats total waste of money, buy you a heatkiller (GERMAN ENGINEERING),
and cool the cpu also
now that.... i use an accellero, it has the same use as water,as you know

I have to disagree as gpu performance does more than cpu performance in games. For a gamer cooling the GPUs will require less radiator area as well.

for this kind of need, there is dual/tri/quad;crossfire/sli, am i wrong? i never heard of someone pulling much performance from a card. no 100% overclocks, not even 50%
is it really worth that? i find that gpus are pretty easy to deal with,regarding temps

The first card I got to water cool seriously was a GTX295. I got almost 55% core clock increase by going to water. I bet for my 4870x2 I could have broken 850 on the core with a good vmod, and I'm sure if I watercooled a GTX260 there would have been some serious OCs like what trt had which was a core clock over 800 on a 192 shader core model.

I still think they get a bit hot, and for the record it was shown that the 5870 requires about 4% less power for every 10C cooler it gets. Gate leakage is serious business.

I traded 2 280s for the phase change thats coming for my CPU (Reason why i took cpu out of loop) So i had to put this overheated FTW 280 under water cause the stock cooler warped and would shoot my 280 up to 105 in a matter of seconds. So, gpu only loop.

 

[pantherx12]

My case mod is coming along real nice

Buying the final parts, since I can't find 5850 might get myself some WC.

Going to jam a tripple rad in the roof.

Also got space for a single 120.1 rad on the floor but probably wont bother, might just mesh over the hole I've drilled.

and how much is that in game-performance?

i always wonder, what people design these (all) vga´s...they cant be too intelligent, or they would built cards, that wont work right at their birth. why cant they just balance bandwith with power? i want a card, thats like a CHEAPER, 5870, with 384bit ddr5 bus. but they even fail at delivering the 5850:shadedshu

EDIT: how did the cooler "warped"??
can you concretise that?

This made very little sense to me... I saw perf in scale with the OC +/- 5% didn't matter if it was NV or ATI. That's why we OC video cards.

sorry, i just fell into thoughts about, why i need to beat some ATI designers up, for flawing a godlike card

sry, i wanted comparision charts between stock and OC

How about you take that little 9600 for a spin there Wafer?

whats with that? its the worst clocking card i ever had, but it plays source engine games quite well, and is a fairly useful physx processor, and resale object (to my buddys which only "use" their rigs)

i have no problems buying nvidia if it fits (just bought 2 cheap,used 8800gt),and the Price is right, but i normally have ATI on my mind im just not so foolish, to not take the best of both worlds

you hoped im a fanboi,eh?

The FTW model 280s from eVGA have a flaw with them. Some that made it out get so hot they warp the cooler and then it dosent make good contact with the GPU. So thats why i put the waterblock on it. Keeps my GPU around 45 under load.

its getting colder every night so i decided to make a small WC setup for the i7

with small, you mean its lenght. i see a big rad there,do i?
whats this cube? it looks like a res with the shroud of an air cooler?
EDIT: you poor one, you got the old heatkiller block, that has problems with 1/2 barbs. but me isnt luckier too^^
REEDIT: is this small thing the RAD?????

PP, that sounds bad.... i bet this has killed a couple cards from that batch

 

[Assassin48]

Its a small 120 Rad

I'm use to using a 3x 120 for the cpu but this is all i had so i had to do with what i got

how are temps?
(you considered my method? its cheap,if youre lucky, and not much work.)
