well, my cards are only dual slot coolers. their placement of a few of the expansion slots on the board just doesnt make any logical sense.

Take the pcie-1x slots for example - Surely the first one would have been a better placed above the first PCi-Ex 16x slot and the second 1x after the first white PCI-Ex-16x slot because if youre running SLi or Crossfire, not only do you render the 1x pcie slots totally useless cuz you block them, but you make it so you cant fit anything in there without using a 1x pcie extension which can be a little difficult to get here in the UK.

My SB-Z is currently squeezed in under my second 680 but im gonna have to move that and plug it into one of the white 8x pci-ex slots. because theres no 1x slot that isnt obstructed by a GPU....

the lower 680 is going to be sitting so close to the bottom of the case, i wonder if its gonna receive enough airflow.

Damn son. That is one retarded PCIE board layout. What were they thinking?

A few reviews on amazon had me worried so I bought extra just to be safe. If all 3 of them dont work then i guess Im gonna have to speak to a rep from an Nvidia partner about getting one.

I may have a spare long one (oo-err) - I ran crossfire on the same board. Let me know if you have any issues and i'll send you mine - if i can find it.

well, I got a EVGA 3way Sli bridge on order too which was placed a few hours ago so if that doesnt work either then I'm sure you will be hearing from me

It seems to be a legit EVGA SLi bridge so fingers crossed

Whats a decent 140mm case fan?? the 2200rpm yate loon i bought earlier this year is starting to emit a clicking noise and i barely run it at 50% voltage

I can either get a Noiseblocker PK3 or another Silverstone AP141. I suppose Hydro-bearings are better for vertical mounting because I havent actually had this yateloon that long at all.

It will be used as an exhaust fan so airflow is crucial.

I think ive even got room for a 38mm Silverstone SST-FHP141

Monthly wages suck yo :laugh:

I have a load of money sat in the bank now, and I've just been playing CS on my server after borrowing a 6770. Now i dont see the point in buying anything else xD
Selling 780's is more difficult than I anticipated, though I'm going to keep whichever one doesnt sell first!
Screw the APU system, I'm going to go out and buy a 3rd suit. I love me a 3 piece suit.

It kinda sucks to see that every thread related to the AMD cards is filled with guys acting like phallic objects. Plenty of excitement and disappointment surrounding the preview, but I didnt think it required such incessant douchebaggery!

That's the truth, spent the last two years working a weekly paid job, changing to my current monthly paid job was a shock drawing to the end of the first month

Just successfully made my first recursive function call right chuffed

Tatty_Two · Sep 27, 2013

I suppose I am lucky, I get paid 3 different times a month but each time for a whole month...... work that one out if you can! (and no I don't have 3 jobs

)

@ RCoon...... they have a MSI 7970 Twin Frozr OC BE Edition listed now also for 10 quid cheaper than the excellent Asus deal you linked :toast:

ID WOAH on that sale, they have a lot of ghz editions that are going to be worth less v soon , they are wise enough to clear the non ghz ones first hence the deals but soon

only sayin because im sooooo tempted myself since id love an R9 290 but the money ,,, im not sure i can ok that with me brain.
but if not an R9 im keen on a cheap 7970 might not even waterblock this one for a easier trade in laters.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 28, 2013

TIL: The clicking i was hearing wasnt from the YateLoon but from a Corsair SP120 which functions as my 'ramjet' Unfortunately Ive already got a NoseBlocker PK3 sitting on my desk.

Well I had a spare 1650rpm AF120 lying about but when i tested that it clicked too, Had a few AP-15s lying around so i replaced it with one of them, then i remember that my Corsair H80i came with 2 SP120L's that i never used and put one of them in instead.

Kinda sad the fans started clicking though, thats something I didnt really expect, especially from the AF120 as I only purchased that to test so its only been powered on once or twice for a few minutes.

I will have to take it up with corsair about that,

d1nky · Sep 28, 2013

I haven't had much time to read up on the new AMD cards. Off to Birmingham now for quarterly lol

in a sentence what are they like and price?!

vega22 · Sep 28, 2013

half are rebrands of the 7k and the new ones are just the tahiti xt core that sapphire was shown talking about before the 7k released really dude.

i think the word is refined.

he is underselling it a bit the top end R9 290x is rumoured to be at or near titan performance for<600$ and Mantle a new consolex3 - pc api is its game changing weaponage

i may be overselling it ,,wizz will tell

vega22 · Sep 28, 2013

i would guess its somewhere in the middle dude.

i mean nothing world shattering came out of it. they are releasing a card based on the core which they spoke about last year but couldn't as they needed to refine the fab process.

it is still on the same process so any gains will be coming from other areas.

i mean this new core was the one they was expected to release but never, which let nvidia hold the 110 core back and just oc their mid ranged core for the 670 and 680s and ultimately then take the piss with the titan and 780 prices.

if ati can do the new core for under £500 and its between the 780 and titan i think they will be onto a winner this xmas me

d1nky · Sep 29, 2013

im selling my rig cheap, probably buy a 3770k and R9 build in a month or so.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 30, 2013

You'll probably have to do what I did and part with kit seperately or in bundles.
