What made you give it all up last time?

kyle2020 · Apr 30, 2009

The case I was using - that cosmos was awful, and my pump placement meant I couldnt use the bottom intake - the only intake in the case. My GTX didnt like it at all, plus that case was huge.

Just won it for £15.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

So your going WC then, lol.

Just on CPU and possibly NB?

If it was me Id just do a double rad and put it in the top, nice and neat

Mind you I like sticking to air. I'd be crapping myself something would leak or the pump would fail etc.

kyle2020 · Apr 30, 2009

As long as you take your time, nothing will go wrong

Ill have a look at a double up top. Ill probably end up merchanting this EK off anyway.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

Air ftw!

lol.

kyle2020 · Apr 30, 2009

It is amazing what air can achieve for how much you pay, but water just looks . . . well.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

I prefer the look of a Heatsink TBH. Each to their own

kyle2020 · Apr 30, 2009

Ay

Meh ill end up selling it on no doubt. Pre lapped, 1/2" barbs and mounting kit - not bad for £15 really. Someone on here will probably see it to a new home

either that or ill keep it and buy a loop bit by bit over a the course of a few months, so it doesnt seem like im dumping alot of money at once.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

Lol,

Damn I wish MoonPig was online, he may have found me another WD6400AAKS

I want him to reply! Gonna screw things up a bit tho, means I need another Sharkoon 5.25 kit, and I dont know where I would fit it if I did, cus I have no spare 5.25 bays left with my 120mm fan bay adaptor

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

lol. Alex. I'll keep it.

Kyle, I think Erocker is selling an Asus NB heatsink.

Hysteria, give us a link when it's up.

kyle2020 · Apr 30, 2009

hmm . . .

ALEX, GET SOME FREAKING PICTURES UP GOD DAMN IT!

Oh and ill be able to pay you tomorrow matey for that HDD mount :toast:

Moon, ill get the premium sent tomorrow and alex the CF vinyl, completely forgot about it :banghead:

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

Kyle, what are you like... lol.

kyle2020 · Apr 30, 2009

Lol, Im a bit all over the place at the minute, driving coupled with exams and lots of stuff happening at home = funtimes.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

Pics will come I havent felt like tidying up the last couple of days. Plus I have been dragging it out so I can get my white cathodes

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

Gah, you two. lol. Where was the project log Alex? lol.

Looks like im selling both my 4830s, EK WaterBlock and maybe RAM - then getting a £200 GFX (or less depending on the motherboard result) and some Firestix ;-)

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

You go through hardware likes its going out of fashion MoonPig :laugh:

Forgot about Project Log, wasnt much reason to do one TBH, only good for complete system overhauls

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

Meh, i change my mind alot. The whole Crossfire thing is over-rated. It hardly scales. So most of the time i had 10fps more than one 4830..

I think i'll try nVidia this time. Best card i've had from them is an 8800GTX, so i'll see how they've improved.

The RAM thing is very unlikely. I don't think i will. I like my OCZ's. I just want a cooler for them so i can go MHz crazy.

I still have the EK block from my W/C venture, it's just been sat on my table.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

Thats why I bought a GTX 260, most of the time one powerful GPU triumphs over two lessers

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

Thinking of selling it? I was considering a GTX275. But the HD4890 is just better for less.

GTX260 would be good though. PhysX was fun. I've always found nVidias to be alot louder and hotter than ATi's though.

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

I bought the GTX 260 on driver preference. Got sick of ATI drivers.

Not for sale, I like it too much

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

Grrr...

nVidia GTX 275 - PhysX but £210
ATi 4890 - Cooler/Quiter and £190

ATi i think it is...

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

I wouldnt agree with the 4890 being cooler and quieter, lol.

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

If it's anything like every other ATi card, it will be.

My 3870, 4830 and 4870s have been ALOT quieter and cooler than my 8800GTS and 8800GTX

alexp999 · Apr 30, 2009

I thought the 4870 is quite loud and hot?

Anything will be cooler and quieter than an 8800GTX :laugh:

There is prob not much in it TBH, go with whatever drivers you prefer. I love the fact with NVIDIA you can have different settings for each game.

Oh and Physx

MoonPig · Apr 30, 2009

I think it's a 4890, unless the B/S/T give me a better option.

Hysteria is putting a 4870 up, if it's cheap enough, i might jump on it and get another later on. I know a mate that wants crossfire when he gets back from Norway (going in a month or so for abit). Could sell them on at a nice price to fund my ATi 5 series buy.
