Had to take a break from writing to clear my head. This is what I came up with:

http://img.techpowerup.org/110706/gpuwater.jpg

Is that a CPU waterblock with a fan on top ? I see two barbs and some tubing with anti-kink coil on it, or maybe I'm seeing things

Just gotta know

You'd be close.

'Tis a lowly Maze4 I've had since like 2005, re-employed on my XFX HD6950. Because the HD6950 is "non-reference"(is actual reference 6950 PCB that was delayed because of the DR-MOS part shortage, but whateva), the VRM section is close to the display outputs, and hence the fan on the block to get some airflow in the VRM's general direction.

Don't think it needs it though...will be pulling it off later as it's just there because that's where it was easiest to mount it. Once I finish up the review I'm working on I'll be pouring more time into palying with this build I've got currently.

I just like the video card more than anything, since I am lacking a nice card right now.

sneekypeet · Jul 8, 2011

I has GTS450 in my FS thread...lol
I know it isn't "nice" either. That five series is better than what I though I was gonna see in your specs.

I forgot to update that, I'm only running a 8800GT right now.

I got rid of the 5870.

sneekypeet · Jul 8, 2011

Well then my offer stands :roll:

Short on cash now, when I get paid I'll definitely consider it then, especially with a 40" TV now.

in case you're wondering how did I get the TV if I was broke, my g/f bought it with her Best Buy card, i just gotta pay it back monthly now.

Wish she had more room on it for a video card. Oh well...

sneekypeet · Jul 8, 2011

So where is the pics of that, the 8800GT wont push that?

It would, just can't max out the games. I run it at the native resolution but keep the details about half way.

Cold Storm · Jul 8, 2011

CP say the thing you want to say.... Your girlfriend is getting half of everything...

Cadaveca, that's nice in all.. but... I still like my Max with the Black/blue ripjaws.. :roll:

Plus, who's not to love a cherry picked i7?

Regardless of what you say, I miss the damn 5870! :cry:

Meh. Pretty sure that 870 was the first retail one I got, and it just clocked good day one.

I have two large PC part retailers locally.

One, I go to for AMD chips. They have crappy Intel chips.

The other, I get Intel chips from, and no AMD chips.

Occasionally, I'll get the wrong chip, from the from guy...I always regret it. Been that way for many many years now.

Anyway, gonna pull the block of the card today, move the rad so it's attached to the tray, do some wire management, becuase a certian someone has been complaining...more pics inbound shortly!

Velvet Wafer · Jul 8, 2011

im keen on my transcends.... never had a better looking spreader, that was more solidly build... dominators are outright crap compared to them! :laugh:
