I am no expert but I have built my own phase.

But a 1/8hp? seems small. Try 1/4 or 1/3 hp.

There are other phase gurus that will chime in soon though.

Hi all,

The reference cooler on my 5870 has been making noise for a very long time.

When its cool, it will make noise on start up. Noise goes away after the card heats up 40c+.

It has been...

Correct me if I am wrong, I thought many fans used oil impregnated brass and adding oil caused problems in the long run?

Seems same as 11.7.

Running 2x 5870 in xfire.

Will try when I get home and post back

Thanks for all the help.

I think I will keep my current core sys and just eek a few more mhz out of it, its got the headroom i just never fiddled with it.

Zalbard, your avatar brings back...

How much of a bottleneck should I expect when using 2x 5870's in crossfire with a Q9650 @ 4ghz?
I know I can expect some, but I am wondering if it would be worth the 400-500$ investment sandy setup...

Definitly not as stable as 2.2.

Ive noticed a bug with google navigation, when you turn the screen off but leave nav running after a few min it will turn the screen on and off rapidly until you...

I have the exact same problem!
Although I can change clock speeds just fine voltages do not change. When gaming I have the same voltage as you (1.125) yet its not in ANY register, GPU or VTT.

...

As long as it cools the voltage regulators well. When I overclock my 5870 its the voltage regulators and not the gpu temp that limit me.

Most the stickies are so outdated its shameful.

They are good, but couldn't they be better?

Like using higher voltage? But that would add considerable cost...

I'm starting to think there is no hope for sub-zero tec temps the way I run my...

Gigabyte EP45-UD3P ordered.

Well thats a lot of posts.

Yeah I was running 1.5v in the bios, I honestly don't remember the other settings. The board has been running 24/7 for almost a year, only a quick power cycle every few...

So another motherboard bites the dust....


So I wake up and turn my pc on and I hear a small pop, but since nothing is wrong with the computer (it was still working), I think nothing of it and...

Ok Jim, is there a diagram that illustrates all of what you just said (or some). Perhaps its my state of mind, but whenever you post on TEC's im a little baffled as to what your saying.

Such as?

Lower voltage!

I have always had a soft spot for TEC's, there just so neat. So much cooling power in a small package. But as we can all see by the many posts in this forum, the biggest most complicated tec setups...

Is that aluminum and copper I see mixed?
That thar be a bad idea...

I see a fire waiting to happen in these pics! :O

Yes. They are. I have nearly broken mine off a few times.

So, for a single stage unit. With a compressor running 24/7/365.

What could one expect the life of a hermetic or rotary compressor in this fashion to be? I know there are other factors, but what...

Sure it will work. It will just run hot.

There are so many variables.... You could probably run an entire system off a mcr120 if you had a couple tornados on it...

Try the search feature out,...

Reminds me of MacGyver
