i know that water cooling is less noisy, takes up less room and cools more efficiently. but how much do the temperatures drop on average from standard air coolers? i want to have a go at decent overclocking when i build my new rig (not what it drops down to, how much it cools down )=

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just check the temp on my 9800GX2, and while playing a video in Media Player the GPU temp is around 87 degrees celsius, and the PCB is around 78! Surely that's too hot? After playing games they both go above the 90 degree mark, even to the 100 degree - how can I cool this mammoth card down? Some games it gets hot and the video card just shuts down and I have to reset. I have a cooler master CM690 case, with a front intake fan (120mm), a rear exhaust fan (90mm), a side of the case fan over the CPU (120mm, exhaust), and a side of the case fan over the GFX card (120mm, intake, blows air over the gfx card). Maybe I need to change the configuration of the fans? Or get something a hell of a lot better for them? I regularly use a can of compressed air inside the case, and on all the fans to keep it dust free.

So i want to find out the best cooling solution apart from water cooling as i don't really want that much maintenance, is there anything different i can use or is that the only thing i can use for best results.

You had us at oil submersed motherboard, CPU and GPUs. You didn’t even have to dunk the SSDs, PSU or create a custom motherboard and bullet resistant tank too to convince us that you’re really hard core, umm, Hardcore.
Of course, if you stare too hard at the tank, you’ll miss all the heavenly glory that the Hardcore PC truly is. From its beautiful aluminum case, to its top port routing and the easy to access hard drives, every centimeter of the machine oozes custom computing. And we can honestly say that after tinkering with the most exotic PCs available on Earth for a decade now. What Hardcore is trying to do is so over the top that no one has ever tried it before on a production machine.
But before Hardcore can ascend to take its place among the top performance PC makers, there are an awful lot of questions to answer. Like can they really make and sell these babies for how much the company claims it can? Does it really work? To find the answer to that read on.

I am not afraid to fry my rig but I am better at following orders from someone that has done this before than me testing and trying various changes on my bios. Do any of you, knowing my specs, want to take a gander at helping me OC my rig? I am not looking for extremes, just something to help me play games better (ie: smoother visual and better fps's). I understand if you are reluctant but, we so love to test and what better way to do so if it won't break your rig, right?

View 7 Replies View RelatedSome people are unsure on how to overclock the GPU. Quite frankly, the GPU is the easiest thing to overclock in a system. Lets start from the beginning. This will void your warranty if you have an ATI video card. The first thing I recommend is to grab some useful programs and the latest NVIDIA WHQL drivers. The programs I recommend are EVGA Precision 1.7.0 or Rivatuner (for the overclocking/monitoring), GPU-Z 0.3.3 (monitoring/GPU info), and ATItool (artifact testing). ForceWare 182.50 WHQL DriverWinXP 32 bit WinXP 64 bit WinVista 32 bit WinVista 64 bit Proper uninstallation/installation of video drivers (Vista, in XP it should be somewhat similar):Download and install Driver Sweeper or something similar. Right click on computer, click Device Manager (on left) Select your display device (video card), uninstall video device software. Delete driver folder (C:NVIDIAWinVista641xx.xx) Reboot in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 during boot sequence). Run Driver Sweeper or your equivalent. Only clean Display driver. Reboot. Download and install your desired driver. Reboot. When installing new drivers, make sure all anti-virus software is disabled. EVGA Precision 1.7.0 Download , GPU-Z 0.3.3 Download, ATItool.26 Download , Driver Sweeper 1.5.5 Download
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just got done messing around with overclocking a little, and I'm afraid I might have be heading into trouble. How hot is too hot for a cpu to be running? Right now I'm at about an average of 53C idle And the hottest I've gotten is 57C. I just did a quick 10-min stability test from my nvidia software, and the max/min temps are 66/53C, reported on the motherboard. CPUID actually measured core#0 at 43/63C and core#1 at 43/60C.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis seems to be a knowledgable board, so I thought I would present my questions/problems to you all. I ran XP (32bit) With my single 8800gtx fine, and yesterday upgraded to 8800gtx's in SLI, along with the Vista Ultimate x64 upgrade. I unistalled the drivers from the video card, and the newest drivers after I installed the SLI setup. I don't remember the numbers but I tried the newest beta and certified drivers for Vista 64. When I play WoW (Shame on me I know), The game runs great and incredibley fast, but I get crashes when running it in SLI mode and running 2 versions of WoW at the same time (I previously had done this without SLI before with no problems in XP). That was fine with me, I just switched it back to Single GPU mode for WoW, and all was fine, and I just switched it back to single GPU and I can run 2 copies of WoW perfecetly now.
My real problem lies when I try to play Crysis. The game is patched, but when I get to load up the first level, most of the time my screen will go black and say "Monitor Entering Power save Mode," and every once in a while it will start the first level, then hard lock after about 5 seconds. The power save seems to be the main problem. I tried disabling the monitor power save all together, but even with it disabled it still happens. Anyone have any thoughts? I think perhaps its just the drivers, but it's becomming quite frustrating to me, as I've tried the newest betas/normals.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm building a new PC for my folks and I'm not sure which version of Vista I should install for them. They do a bit more than just check email. My dad likes his audio apps (iTunes, mixing programs, etc) and likes to tinker a bit with different programs. I've bought them 4GB of RAM because it's so cheap at the moment and my dad wants this to be a PC that will last them for several years to come. My question is, should I put them on Vista 64-bit or 32-bit? I know that the 32-bit version will only see about 3.2GB of the RAM I got, and I don't want to have to reinstall everything for them in the near future. Is Vista 64-bit "there" yet? Or is it still for advanced users only? Should I play it safe I install the 32-bit version even though it may be outdated soon (and not see all the RAM), or will 32-bit be the way forward for a few years yet to come?
View 6 Replies View RelatedReference MS Article ID 555910, dated 3 April, 2007. How TO: Enable the build-in Administrator account in Windows Vista. I would very much appreciate a clarification regarding Administrator Accounts or profiles. I am planning to purchase a new Dell XPS 630 computer with Vista Business in the next month or two. I am trying to become familiar with Vista before I receive the computer. If I understand it correctly, when the first bootup is made with the new computer, a user account is created that has administrator privileges. According to the above referenced article, there is a build-in Administrator account. Also in this article, under the Applies To: Heading, it does mentions only Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Starter. However, I have seen some postings or internet articles mentioning the built-in Administrator account, not clarifying what versions of Vista that it applies to.
Question: When I receive my new Dell computer and complete the initial bootup, the new user account, and final install, will that be the only User Account on the computer with Administrator privileges?
Suddenly tonight my Windows Vista Ultimate OS stated that I had only fourteen days left of my evaluation period.This is crazy, because I bought this full version earlier this year, and I am 100% sure I activated it over the net.When slipping the computer the original disk, after a while I says that upgrade is disabled, and that I have to do a clean install.Are those guy at MS completely gone off the walls?Is there a way I can reactivate it?Does anyone know what might have happened?I can vaguely remember some downloading from a MS site to try out something, and after that the message came low and right on my screen stating "Windows Vista (TM) Evaluation version. Build 6001"I can't do a clean install now!I fought for months to get everything to work.Damned if I go through that again!Of course it is my fault. I should have read the small print (if there was
any?!).But changing a legit version into a evaluation version without any proper
repetitive warnings,is absurd!
I cant activate Vista ultimate 6.6000 build. when i am activating operating system it showing error 0xC004E003 and when i am trying changing product key it is also not working and trying phone but there no option for that

View 5 Replies View RelatedThis is my first post as a new member so please forgive me if this is not an appropriate thread. My problem is that I have recently built a new rig with vista 64 HP as the O/S but cant seem to get it to stabilise with 4 Gigs of memory. The system is fine with 2 and 3 Gigs but becomes unstable with 4 Gigs when running process hungry applications such as COD 4. The game will freeze and if I drop out through task manager the screen is then full of graphical glitches.
I have changed the RAM several times and after the system has become unstable I have had it tested and it wasnt corrupted. First try was, OCZ 4 Gig Kit (2x2048). Second try was, Corsair 4 Gig Kit (2x2048). Not sure if one of the Motherboard RAM Module Channels may be at fault as I have had a lot more success with 1 Gig sticks.
