yup thats it. you have a pa120.2 already?

The thing is I found a PA 120.3, so Im trying to figure if im better of with that or a GTX 480???

 

[2lowSniper]

 

[Fitseries3]

so you DO have a pa120.2?

you can get another one for cheap and we can build a nice little rig.

 

[Fitseries3]

im sorry but yate loons suck huge horsecocks and i think they are a 500% waste of time and money.

 

[2lowSniper]

lol it was just to help him decide haha

 

[Chicken Patty]

thanks guys, thanks.

FIT, I have my koolance 120.2, is that what you are asking?

[Chicken Patty]

so the 480 cools better

 

[2lowSniper]

Does it ever!

 

[Fitseries3]

i thought you had a pa rad. nevermind.


it depends on the size your looking to keep it.

if a long but small rig is better than we can do that.

if a small cube is better than thats what we will do.

we should move this conversation into a new thread as this is for i7/58.

i'll make one.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Does it ever!

it does right, except for the last test with the ultra high speed fans, seems like the PA had slightly lower temps there.

Thermochill 120.3 or BIX 480, decisions- decisions

temps are not good anymore, really need to get paid and get to work on my new water set up

HT disabled, I will try to go as high as I can with this voltage, I will not increase it anymore until I get better cooling. ANother thing is in the HW monitor window, my NB and vregs are getting hot!!! I already dropped the voltages. Here is a screenshot of my voltages:

 

[Fitseries3]

are you slowly needing more voltage for the same OC?

 

[Chicken Patty]

are you slowly needing more voltage for the same OC?

no, the previous overclock i had posted is 4.0 GHz at 1.305v. I have always ran 1.411-1.423v for 4.2 GHz, it goes back and forth between 1.411v-1.423v
