Seems like those cards are selling out as soon as retailers get them, despair not my friend, the 290 is an awesome card, and you don't really need to upgrade it to play the latest and greatest games :rockout:

they have a block for 980 but man ... that one is a pure beauty ... i just hope the custom taxes will not be too high ... i completely forgot about the delivery coming from Germany :oops:

what else are laptops used for?

Going take a coffee and a donut at Tim Hortons during a cold winter day or night. #JustCanadianThings :p

BTW I just got a Dell Inspiron N5030 laptop with only 1900 hours on the original HDD. The couple changed to a MacBook and they tought their Dell sucked...only because it was loaded with spywares. 120$ for a laptop !

Just upgraded my Steambox/HTPC:



Went from a 7870/GT520 combo (hybrid physx) to a 7950/GT430. Also installed a 3TB drive.

Not much of an upgrade as I had the 7870 OCed at 1200/1500 but I did it mainly for the extra GB of VRAM on the 7950, that'll come in handy when GTAV comes around. Plus I got both cards for $100+ shipping. :pimp: The drive was on sale for $75 :rockout: It's a refurb but I ran several stress tests on it and seems to be peachy. In fact my older drive was a refurb also.

I think I won't need to uninstall a game again and that'll allow me to delete lots of stuff from the Steam backup folder I have on my NAS. :D

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like it! Your rigs are awesome too btw :rockout:

And, yes that's Windows 10 preview, I use it more than 8.1 now, haven't run into any stability or performance issues yet :)
I installed it as the primary OS on my HTPC/Portable gaming machine as a fresh build to try it because I thought why not. Ill need to post some pics of the machine shortly but I went with a DeepCool Steam Castle (Got on sale) for some fun.

I like 10 right now but every once in awhile I run into some issues with some different programs lol.

Yes, it has compatibility issues with some programs, I cant get hwmonitor or kaperski to install for some reason :(

All the monitoring programs that came with my board work fine though :/

Yea Hardware monitor was one of the main ones I was actually thinking about honestly and the first one I tried that would not install lol. It normally is one of my first especially if I plan on overclocking something (Which I do) so I had to use some alternates of mine.

Nothing really special but this Precision T1500 be replacing the QX6700 tower as my desktop. Might swap the R7-240 with an HD4850 but the performance difference between them isn't that great.



Picked it up for free sans hard drive, ram, video card and case side. Built now it's a:
Core i7 870
8 GB ram
Dual 500 GB HDDs in RAID 0 until I get the proper 1 TB out
Radeon R7-240 1 GB (GDDR5)
Stock 430W Lite-On PSU.

So heres my computer, revised a bit. Also have my 2nd computer too.... the wiring is horrible in terms of being clean...I know... my brother uses it and obviously that is not one of his top priorities, and I don't have time atm.



2nd Comp.... Yes... Wiring is bad. Haha. Runs great though.




And heres a computer I found buried away in my dads basement. Figured I would take it out and see If i could get it running for the hell of it since I had other parts laying around doing nothing.

Heres a GTX 550TI Windforce.... putting some new thermal paste on it, and was just checking out the card with the cooler off. Old video card was a Nvidia 520GT... Also we have an AMD Athlon X2 4200+ Dual core @ 2.2Ghz i believe. The ram is SUPER TALENT DDR-400 500MB x2, and the other one is a 1G Kingston, it has a disk drive, no HD or PSU yet though. Most likely going to at least get a new mobo and RAM maybe.... this is some old hardware.



The motherboard I think is a no no from what I am seeing briefly online, never heard of them. It is an FSB2000MT ECS Elite Group. Cant really find much about them.





Gotta be a better combo of mobo/RAM for this set up.... obv the CPU is gonna bottleneck the GPU.... really trying to find the cheapest stuff I can

las part ... pfeeeww

ok i still have enough tube and already the UC-2 LT but GPU+CPU on a single 240 no go :D
sample006.jpgsample024.jpg

up and running notice that i have to do 140/120 top due to the front rad
sample021.jpg sample022.jpg sample023.jpg sample025.jpg

29° Idle, a quick Unigine Heaven later never seen past 40° (1000/1300)

edit: 44° at the end of a 3 loop Heaven (1100/1400)


sure it's good to be a self learner ... Phobya notice is ... non existent (except for the CPU block mounting ... bahaha) seems that my 1st attempt is a good run on the 1st try

loop order res>pump>rad>block>res>pump

edit bis: well i know why i love aquacomputer ..... only the VRM have thermal pad for the RAM they recommend thermal past ... huhuhu GC-Extreme ftw ;) aaannndd the original past was rock solid dried when i disassembled the stock cooler, good timing ahah
