I just picked up a MARS board and planning on getting a 790i for sure and a 780i maybe

I've heard great things about the mars . Great voltage regulation and quad clocking. Almost as good a clocker as the DFI P45 board and way less finicky. Also, Sierra if I had to guess I would guess that x48 wont be much more than 790i because with 780 still being relatively new I expect nvidia to market 790 as to the same segment as the ultra and keep 780i around as a slightly cheaper option. Plus, X48 is just a binned X38 so it doesn't cost much more to manufacture but it remains to be seen how Intel translates that into price .

So you already purchased the board? If you don't mind rebates, Newegg has that same board for $59.99 (after rebate). Link

I never thought that I would say this but if people do not want to share in the work maybe they should be put on some kind of "Inactive Color Status"?

We ARE a team and that should mean helping even if it is one work unit per day. Just my thoughts.

Sounds reasonable to me.

BTW I just noticed my WCG stats bar is goofy, reports 928,863 but I have 1,454,261 .... *edit* fixed. Oooo I'm coming up on 1.5M!

TRUE = Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme

Thank

I had been wondering if you went all out for air.. or if there was a bang for the buck/mass alternative that was a better idea.
Its hard to look seriously at other sinks after handling a TRUE though... I know I am addicted!

((I had to ask Dave the same question once not too long ago!))

You.

[David_L6]

Have you read the rules?

Rules? What's dat?





EDIT: If I ever did, I forgot. I have now.

Who is going to go through the 700+ names and see 1. if they have the color to start with and 2. Are active.

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd also restrict access to the xxxxxx to only the people that are currently contributing.

I'm good with this.....you can change mine, if you wish.

If this goes any further I would have to say if a person is a active member of the XS DC community they keep the color. It is for everyone that puts time and money into the XS machine.
On the other hand xxxxxx for WCG should be just that IMO.
Not picking a fight here, Just pointing out. Also every time we start this kind of talk we loose members. History is our best teacher.

I am sorry that I even brought this up, never mind. I was not trying to alienate anyone, I just was hoping that we could do something to get our existing members back in the saddle for XSDC and help the team.

My apologies,
John

And on another note, have you seen those Irish Ladies, those guys ain't looking for no damn sheep! Those ladies are HOT!

Maybe a contest? I saw one posted here at XS for another forum that was giving away a used Q6600...

I've pondered what we could do to have a contest. Something along the lines of "everyone that submits more than [some nominal number] of work units on any (?) XS DC team is in the running for [some prize]" Or else I note that over at HardOCP they have nominations for the cruncher of the month. I think they give away access to the pay-only subforums over there. Not sure what we'd give away, but I'd pony up a buck or two for a Newegg gift certificate fund.

No No, It is good to think out loud on ways to drum up help. I was not down on that at all just pointing out.

Yeah but in Rips case it is in his jeans. And I mean in his Jeans to be a sheep fluffer.

Nah. You'll wonder back by sooner (we hope) or later.

The cpu for quad #40 is here. Just need a TRUE and it will go online. That brings us a little closer to 5 million.

Bingo!
Ditto here. I have at least 9 of them. I did try my first Tuniq Tower 120 on my last build. It's ok, but I like the TRUE better.

[123bob]

I'll have to try one on my next build, of course unless I come up with another van radiator....

I've been stuck on the Zalman 9700s for my aircooled machines. How does this compare to that?

Bob

[sierra_bound]

The TRUE will beat just about everything. Scythe just came out with a monster-sized cooler called the Orochi. Not sure how it compares.

I have two TRUE coolers matched with Minebea fans in push-pull configuration. The Minebea's are expensive, but they have a life expectancy of around 20 years. My grandchild will inherit the fans. lol

How is the 9700 going temps wise? I've got a 9500, but it isn't really coping with the quad at load. I'd like to stick with Zalmans because I love their design
