ha, I just got one of those sapphires but its 6950 2g with dual fan, i wanted the single fan cooler too as one fan is covered by sound card, but oh well,there not as easy to find, mine goes very welll too, better than i expected, i was going to return but, such a hassle, it works fine and has bios switch, ill wait till 7/s b4 next one and maybe sell it.

wow I didn't notice I had a BIOS switch on both my cards, hurray for dual BIOS! You sir just made my day time for some unlocking action!

Hey, how well do they run in cf? If you can update me on how you go flashing and how temps go or anything else if thats your intention, thanks ,ps if i could be bothered id cast the plastic sapphire shroud in aluminium and put it back on, would look funky polished, and act as a shroud/heatsink too.

How well does the corsair cooler work? I like the two large fans you got too in your case, looks like a powerful rigg. After doing the t-paste, mines idling at 34c 24 % fan.

I used the RBE 1.28 method basically saving the BIOS with GPU-Z then editing it with RBE which conveniently comes with a one tick option to enable 6970 shaders then used WinFlash to flash both cards and worked wonderfully I'll post up a screeny in a few minutes on this same post from after unigine.

EDIT: Running into some issue, Afterburner won't let me turn up the voltage and my 6950's become unstable at the same clocks with higher shaders .. I can use trixx but it has no OSD.

Here are the results:

Highest GPU temp was 76

you dont get the white and red NZXT cables either?

nope just the shitty plain black ones

So far everything is good gpu wise, since our version of the 6950 can't unlock voltage control via MSI Afterburner you can buy AIDA64 to make your own OSD or G15 display it is quite awesome and a well worth it software, it is so far the best app to display sensors on my keyboard, very happy with the purchase.

The H50 is okay, its a bit pricey for okay temps though, I'd recommend these types of coolers for specific setups only that require alot of space around the ram area and for 1155 mobo's that can potentially block air coolers by the awkwardly placed capacitors around the CPU area, oh and for looks

I happen to like the plain black ones .. .

I had flat PSU cables from my Corsair HX-620w it drove me nuts, it twists on one end or the other and made the wiring look alot messier and more annoying to hide.

Zenbook right?

that is gorgeus!

What kind of battery life do you get out of that ?

Yes, this is the ASUS Zenbook. I've been playing around a lot with the power profiles, and you will definitely get the advertised 7hrs if you use the ASUS Power Saving mode, but that throttles the Core i5's CPU and GPU at idle speeds and disables Turbo. Perfect if you're just word processing and doing light browsing, but I like a little more punch. I've only had it for a couple of days, so I'll update you guys a bit later. PM me if anybody thinks this thing deserves its own thread/clubhouse/minireview. Probably won't have time for a minireview, but we could at least have a thread where I answer questions if a good number of you are interested in the ultrabook

 

[mediasorcerer]

Im stoked with asus for bringing the zenbook to the table!!, damn fine effort i believe, i would love to hear more about it if its convenient for you at some stage Danish D, user views/ops are the best sometimes, thankyou for posting.

 

[DanishDevil]

Absolutely. I can make a thread right now. Link coming in a sec.

Anyone care to guess how much this setup alone costs:

 

[Sir B. Fannybottom]

$1 bob, $1.

 

[Darkleoco]

I'm not sure I want to know but I'll guess 15-20 thousand USD at least

Awesome picture. I care not to guess.

Depends a lot on the actual hardware inside those racks, but I's say the VNX are $300-600K each. We just got one where I work, and already have three EMC chassi (SP?) that were close to that new. How many terabytes? For those that don't know, these aren't servers but SAN storage.

I'm guessing the first and third racks from the right are UPS? I can't see enough of the one on the left to tell what it is, but I'm guessing more storage.

Very close, it's a 100TB monster.

I was going to guess $750K-$1M, but as I said, it would depend on the amount of storage available (and of course, the raid configurations). ou know why they put the blue lights on there like that? It gets them in movies and stuff 'cause it looks cool. <- straight from the mouth of the engineers...

Looks like the control room of the uss enterprise!! Great photo, thanks for posting.

Hey, question for Mjkmike, is that a 6990 in your rigg? If so, can you tell me how it goes? ie performance and feelings about it , thankyou.[ that is a stylish looking vga too ]

 

[mjkmike]

That is a 6990 His in my rig but really haven't pushed it yet. Waiting on three days of work units to finnish before I install win7 on the the ssd. Temps at ideal are great and power for a 24/7 rig are not bad. Don't really know why I got it but I won big at casino so enough said.

I bought a Razer Barracuda AC-1 sound card and I changed the Antec cases fans to Noctua ones.
Sorry for shitty pic - my cams battery wsa 0 and I used my HTC Desire Z phone for the shot.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

didnt even know they made soundcards
