Gtx 295?

[nebj00la]

yummy.

[p2501]

Yummy indeed, but the sexiest block IMO is still the Koolance block. ( http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...product_id=778 )
And the one from AquaComputer is the lightest, it's somewhere around 700 grams.

damn, nice points youve got there....

ill be down for a few days, im changing my main rig over from phenom to a Q9400 and everything is "wet" so ive got to shut it all down.

thy way these 295's are producing, i might just have to pull the trigger on 2

In view of the forthcoming race...can anyone remind me....I know mixing 112shaders with 128shaders is a no...what about mixing various 200 series cards, does that cause problems too?

How well do they support their products? Danger Den has been very good to me.

Well, there we have 212 and 240 shaders, and while this is percental a smaller difference, you might run into problems still. Try asking at foldingforums, maybe s.o. over there tried it.

AC or Koolance? Dunno, never owned one of their products, I'm just stating the fact that they look pretty. I keep wondering if two 295 and a q6600 will be kept in check with two 360 swiftech rads.

I've got two Black Ice Xtreme radiators, a II and a III. The II handles the CPU/Northbridge and the III handles the GPU's.

Now I need a new case that will hold the two radiators in a presentable manner.

The Danger Den blocks are now available! I just ordered mine.

That's the problem, I have exactly one mcp355 and I don't plan on another one, so no dual loop for me. So the only question would be two or three 320 rads. And if there's enough money for that project. My current plans are to just LC CPU and NB and leave the GPUs on air, bc 260€ just for two GPU blocks are not far from another 295.
If I put another 295 in that rig and clock it like this one I wonder how summer is going to be lol.

[MaK2000]

Imagine how it would be for me when it is like 112F/44C outside. The high today is 78F/26C in January.

You'll be the cookie. And your room is the oven. Doooom. Impending dooooom.


Edit:

p2501 to 295: Fold beotch, fold!
A little over 7k PPD from one part...

Hey P whats it gonna take to get you over to team bourbon?

[DAK1640]

Skycrane...2 is too many...Send me 1 of them

You'll nevar get me, hahahahahaha! *runs*

[coo-coo-clocker]

CURSE this recession! I really would like to have a 295...

[=[PULSAR]=]

I wonder with ATI's new card coming out if the price tag is going to drop significantly?

[p2501]

I don't really think it's going to be a significant drop, because this card packs some expensive tech, with which I think the price point even at launch is well chosen. If they go down to 350€ or less I'm sure I'll get another one. Only problem is cooling them. Running it at 712/1620/1242 with 1.14 volts leads to 80-83°C on the cores with the current ambient temps (we shut down our heating, the card is doing the job together with my quad). Summer = meltdown?

Yea I know what you mean. I wonder if running these cards at 100% load and heating your house is more cost efficient than using your heat I know ever since I got my 3 card setup my heat hasn't been on. Typically its in the 30's outside and my room sits at a comfortable 72F. My roommate came home the other day with his room freezing turned on the heat so his room was 68F and I came home from work and my room was a blistering 86F Even with central air this summer I think I may still throw in a window unit.

[p2501]

Well I don't think I will be able to afford to power an additional aircon. I need all the power to the folder and even this is and will be expensive... why are there no discounts for folders?

[=[PULSAR]=]

I only wish there was some way to write this off on our upcoming taxes.

[p2501]

Tax refunds for folding and power used, that's a nice idea. I'd like to have some more 295's here.. =)

[nebj00la]

My GTX295 is much happier with GPU1@30°C7, and GPU2@37°C!
