That`s the problem with many compact cameras, if you can set your focus manually, shots will be sharp. If you have a questions please write me a PM, I`ll try to help.
Take care :)

yo thanks bro.. is this any better.

Hi shazbom - it's great to see your interest in improving your photography, but it would be better if you start your own thread (there's also a photography section) or PM SSN75 as suggested, so as to keep this thread focused on Malik's work. (that last pic looks good!).

Malik, you're my inspiration. Everything you did is extraordinary.

May I ask what size of tube are you using? Is that Tygon 11.1 mm. ID, 15.875 mm OD?

Thanks in advance.
03-02-2010, 07:08 AM

Yes, i used this size of tubes ;)

Thank you for answering.

I also have some more questions.
1. How did you clean your blocks? It was very nice and clean. :up:
2. What was the red fluid and dye did you use?
3. Did you use Tygon tube? It was bending very well.

Thank you again.

That last pic quoted by tsawana is just incredible. You achieve some preety beautifull color combinations!

Guys i have problem ... i don't know what is the best :)

1. Stay with TRI SLI with GTX 280 EVGA

2. Asus 5870 Crossfire

3. GTX 480 ... sli ?

4. Wait for new revision of gtx 480
03-29-2010, 10:01 AM

03-29-2010, 10:20 AM

I'd say go ATI ;).
03-29-2010, 10:26 AM
Church

I'd vote for stay with current setup, but that wouldn't be Xtreme :)
Imho it's worth upgrading when bigger performance gains are seen. So it's (4.), if that meant next gen of fermi, which i doubt to see sooner then another year to wait, or dual 5970. (2. less power usage) & (3. psysix support) won't be that much of performance gain from current setup to justify purchase(including new fc waterblocks)/upgrade .. and just for dx11 support it's not worth it imho ..
03-29-2010, 10:26 AM
seba84_2005

for now ATI, in the future NV, but not fermi :slapass:
03-29-2010, 10:28 AM

Second option is the best in my opinion. Go for it

ATi FTW !
03-29-2010, 12:25 PM

i'd go for 5870 Xfire... less power consumption but still engouh power compared to the little gain of two 480 in sli...
and cheaper... if that matters ;)
03-29-2010, 12:54 PM
Kaldskryke

not an NV fanboy by any stretch of the imagination, but GTX480 SLI wins... as long as you can handle the cost and power consumption of the cards. A single 480 isn't terribly impressive but they scale remarkably well in SLI. Better than crossfire by quite a bit.
03-30-2010, 02:42 AM
Malik

I see ati is the best option for me :)
03-30-2010, 02:47 AM

When you`ll show as pics of triple SLI inside your case?? Lot of new experience inside next project?

When new PSU arrived ... Antec TruePower Quattro 1200W, and two BP sli connector ;)
03-30-2010, 02:55 AM
SSN774

I thought 850`s is too "weak" for triple SLI ;) You`re planning to sell it or it (850) stays with this config? I need something more powerful for my new rig
03-30-2010, 02:57 AM
Malik

That depends ... i think in two weeks i will be know what stay and what will be out ;)

Go for an ati 5870 crossfire or wait a little bit for 5870 2gb and do a 5870 4gb crossfire :p

I dont like that psu really :shrug:

Nice camera. Photos will be even better:>. Nikon D90 one of the better cameras in its price class very good choice, but the covenant itself probably buy the cheaper Canon 550D. The new Champion Nikon D3S is a great addition to almost indestructible. Only the price kills ;>.

As for the Cards took me to the ATI is much less heat than the new GF Fermi. I suspect that like to lie down on the fermi could have broken an egg is to fry up nicely ;>
After the event, as the only Metro 2011 and new coming up Battel field uses the new possibilities GF 470/480.

GF 480 in full temp are 90 – 105 Celsius wery nice heater for the winter ;).
I will try it in my project.Nice to see that not only did I want to use the 1200 watt power supply in draft.
Good Luck whit your draft Malik.

I really dont think so . . . antec is not the best brand for psu, not even close.

I have one antec 850 dead, now i have one corsair hx 850 and that is a really good psu.

Antec is overrated imho like thermaltake :down:

I'm not talking about Antec PSUs in general, It is all about their Signature series ;)
If you have an SG-850 unit that died on you, It could just have been some faulty / defective part that caused the malfunction

Can I get some insight here? I want to go for best quiet cooling at low use to idle mode on a 4.3GHx i7 930 (@ 1.32v) w/ single GTX 260 on Rampage II Extreme. This system sits on my desk so I am interested in quietness a night or during music editing. As long as it cools equal to if not somewhat better then when on air (755c or below) I'm good. I am more interested like I say in the desktop idle temps at low flow. I have XSPC RX240 Dual 120mm Radiator. The box doesnt have space for bigger rad inside but willing to add additional dual externally to keep it quiet if ned be.

Thankx in advance

BTW, cable extensions are the one and only way to go with TPQ 1200 'cause removing those "Turbocache" capacitors leads to huge fluctuations on 12V rail...
03-31-2010, 03:29 PM

Malik, it`s loooong one. Wonder how this 80mm fan cooling down the PSU with that power. Lot easier to do sleeving the extensions than sleeving the PSU cords. So, we`re waiting for some photos :D:D:D

That was only for test... after that i decide that tri sli is not so good. Sooo finally i will make 5870 in crossfire with nickel - plexi EK Waterblocks and nickel backplates.

Two 5870's like this soooooon....

Hmmm:

Pro:

1. that looks awesome :)
2. huge kick in benchmarks

Cons:

1. Heat
2. Place in case
3. Not so good performance in games ( i check with bc2, metro 2033, shift, gta4, dirt2, bioshock 2 )

In all this games FPS was high, for example in bc2 was 180fps but ... i observe microstuttering. That is annoying.

In the end i think... tri sli is good for benchmarks etc.

That's why decide change my cards.

More photos from testing tri sli:

So it will be CF 5870 and Eyefinity? Or you`ll stay with one LCD display? Must say triple SLI looks amazingly. When you`ll put PSU inside there almost no room for tube from last block, am I right?

Time for bigger case? hehe, i`m just kidding. Hate this moment when you have big-tower and there is no space for something more. In mine LL there is a problem with mofset cooling. I need about 30 mm space between board and midplate, but there`s any :( so it`s time to cut some alu ;)

This case is awesome, so no need to change. Cutting .. also no needed - for CF is a lot of space ;)

I was interested in that filter too when bundymania first posted it in the parts gallery, that is until I saw it was from Innovatek. All their stuff is over priced, under engineered crap design for low flow systems.
