Separate VRAM blocks murder flow, even one as low-restriction as the swifty one.
*shrug* the point of those blocks is cooling the voltage regulators on cards anyway, they're the only thing that needs cooling GDDR3/4 runs just fine with no ramsinks whatsoever and secondary airflow.
The F-joints give those blocks feck-all flow, but that's enough for it, so it works well enough if you dont want to switch to a real fullcover or to a GPU-X.
The latest NBs however tend to get pretty toasty, so I'm wondering how that will hold up temp-wise after a long load.
yeah - i had it that way before... then a coupla nights ago, my ramsinks started popping off from all the work i was doing on the card.Quote:

not to mention that the CPU - GPU - Chipset block locations are extremely close on my setup...
so I figured I'd alleviate both issues w/ the swifty solution...
Shoulda just bought some good thermal tape for a dollar or 2 on fleebay :)
SEKISUI #5760 ftw.
I've used this tape. However i find 3M's one much better.Quote:

Generally speaking LiLis always come with ADDA fans... they're not particularly good though.
ive always thought that adda's were supposed to be good fans :confused:Quote:

and here i was gettin all excited :rofl:

I don't go after a girl just for looks, cause usually they are very shallow and its not often you find a girl that looks good, has a brain in her cranium.
Yes but....the pics arent loading. http://www.lazyforums.net/images/smilies/hsugh.gifQuote:

I would be an ass for just showing off her pics, that would not bode well for me talking to her.
Okay you pron surfing, no life geeks get back to talking about PCs and stop oggling the lady in my avatar,:nono: cause if anyone stands a chance with her, its me :-P.:woot:
:D so back to questions, do the Lian Li cases come with fan grills like i see in the pics too? Cus i was about to buy AC ryan meshx grills and then i saw that pic and was like...hmm i think they may come with grills.Quote:

Matrix Orbital display...
I replaced two of the Arctic Cooling fans with the Yate Loons...
what a difference in noise.
ok - a little mini update...
completed the upgrade to Yate Loon fans all around. Night and day difference in sound.
I was going to 7V mod the AC fans with some zener diodes i picked up from radio shack but no need now...
