i was reading and all the physx hardware is, is a built on nvidia branded ageia chip and it doesn't use but like a 1/4 of the card to run physx so a 9600GT wouldn't even use it full potential.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

they should make a dedicated PhysX card again, but then agian, there is not that many games that uses it, think its like 20 games or so

 

[Thrackan]

The list of games that actually uses hardware PhysX is terribly short :shadedshu

 

[brandonwh64]

yea but i always know that if a game needs physx then i have what it needs

 

[(FIH) The Don]

+1 on that bro

 

[Velvet Wafer]

@VW i'm so sorry man, i forgot all about the stuff bro, been busy the last few days, will be shipping the stuff out within a few days, and again sorry :shadedshu

hmm okay, i just sold him some things that i have been VERY slow about getting shipped

No stress Don! i start to get wet hands, but i can hold out for a little longer
youre were so grateful, you dont have to excuse yourself, youre alright bro!
as said, cure your illnesses, take your time, as long as you dont forget it
youre one of the kinder fellas i know, i dont want you to die on some wicked influenza or such!

I think VW is referring to my Rogue

It's sitting here, collecting dust, and VW said he was interested in buying it somewhere at the start of this month

YES,YES!
such a beauty! its shipping costs are deadly, but its worth all the hassle!

noctua NH-D14...



works guuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreaaaat!

Fit do you have any other high end heatsink to compare?

 

[Solaris17]

LOL... wow didn't expect that from you, but let the lesson begin:

static pressure.

some fans blow less CFM but have a higher static pressure...

In this case its blade design and fan thickness that affects static pressure. A 50 CFM 25mm fan will get killed by a 50 CFM 38mm fan if you put it on a heatsink, because the 38MM is less susceptible to the backfeed and the restriction of the cooler, and actually blows MORE air THROUGH the heatsink.

This same concept applies to fan design and blade orientation/spacing of fans using the same thickness.

so:
Noctua NF-P12

and
Noctua NF-S12

http://img.techpowerup.org/100328/noctua_nf_s12_1.jpg


The top has more pressure, and is better on heatsinks even at lower RPM, even noctua will tell you this:

http://noctua.at/main.php?show=nf_s12_p12_comparison&lng=en

Same with water pumps, some pumps dont have the GPH of others, but have a higher head pressure due to to motor and impeller design.


here is some bathroom reading:

http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/noctua_nf-p12_static_pressure_performance/1

"The new Noctua NF-P12 now provides the static pressure needed for both heat exchanger and heat sink applications. All credit goes to Noctua for stepping up to the plate and making an even better product than the NF-S12's. Equally impressive is that you can now 'have your pie and eat it too' - cooling performance without the additional noise.

Subsequently, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Noctua NF-P12 120mm cooling fans as a worthy addition to your cooling system."

so... this is why its always a good idea to know the tech specs of a product before relying on one Standard to measure performance. I know that you know better, or should know better, you wouldn't judge a PSU based on WATT rating alone.

thats what im saying why would you compair diffirent size fans and say noctua loses? isnt that kind of pointless? i appreciate the attempt at the school. but compairing (example) a 25mm 50cfm noctua to a TT 40mm 50CFM and calling out the noctua would be kind of stupid. you said noctuas werent that great but id imagine they would perform similer to other fans in their class. NOT like the example iv just given. were our example TT fan outclasses the noc.

I got my 5850 running with a 9600GT for physx!! im using 10.3 ATI driver with 196.21 nvidia with physx mod 1.20

http://img.techpowerup.org/100329/physx1.jpg

so was that 5850 worth it ? im still if i should get one

 

[mlee49]

so was that 5850 worth it ? im still if i should get one

Sorry to but in with an unexperienced opinion, but I say the best 5k series card at the moment is the 5870. It's got the gusto but a hefty price tag too. If your concerned about price go with a pair of 5770's which should be better when overclocked than a single 5870.

Someone please validate/expunge me of my suggestion.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

i am getting a 5850 for the awesomeness and power it has, + its more futureproof, beacause you can just add one more for cf later

2x5770s is def powerfull, but not a good investment if you're thinking about the near future +- a year or so, then i would go for the 5850/70 and add one more later

No its not, and thats not what Im saying. Did you read?

Im comparing them to fans of the same size... i just gave an example of the same 120MM fans with different thicknesses to illustrate a point about static pressure. Theyre all 120MM fans.

In the Noctua's S12's case the blade design, in is what makes the NF-S12 worse than NF-p12 or other 120mm fans at the same CFM for heatsinks. Just to clarify:

Fan A 120MM @ 50CFM and 0.9 mm/h20 is much worse than
Fan B 120MM @ 50CFM and 1.6 mm.h20 on a restrictive surface.

Capiche?

wow you love acting like a tough guy huh? At anyrate you got me i thought in your OP you were comparing 2 diffirent fans which didnt make any sense.

wooosaaaaa "rub your ears"

So before the UPS man showed up today, I removed my exhaust fan and my bottom intake fan....

I think the intake fan was doing it's job nicely.

Then the UPS man came with a bigger box than what I thought would come, Daboh? Did Cooler Master send me the wrong stuff?

Nope, they just packed it well!

More photos of new stuff can be seen here, I'll be taking some night shots tonight.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

that is looking NICE!!

could you please take one from the side so we can see it ?

 

[Radical_Edward]

If you look in my project log thread, there's more photos Don.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

just got the notification

 

[brandonwh64]

Those are some nice fans!!! i have to break down and buy 6 110CFM fans for my Rads when i can afford it.

Check out my Vantage run with physx

Well hers my new box a stuff

old cramped box


New RV02 desk hog



it was a bit of a to get going the power and reset switches didn't work properly and the HDD LED didn't go either

dude that is pretty slick im kinda jealous nice lines

 

[DOM]

so which 5850 from newegg going to order tonight was looking at the vaporx

 

[Fitseries3]

im trying to score 4 reference 5850s for cheap.

 

[Radical_Edward]

Night shots!

Took the mesh grill off the side 120mm it made my case sound like a wind tunnel as the fan was trying to suck in too much air. I'm going to replace it with a black 120mm grill soon. So one of my cats doesn't choose to stick a paw in it. (Although I'm pretty sure only one is dumb enough to do such.)

I know, it's on the floor for now, but I put a board under it so it won't suck in as much carpet fibers into the PSU. (The 140mm fan has a filter.)

I get my new corner desk on Saturday.
