Reciever

I did! Just finished cleaning it up. It's about 5 slots now, these fans are loud but they push a lot of air when pushing 100%. Either way it's ready for benching this winter. Also cleaned up 2x 650ti Boost 2GB cards

Welcome to the Forums!

Just scored a 980Ti for 50 bucks on ebay. Not really anything to write home about, except that it appears the owner was not aware that it came equipped with the morpheus 2 aftermarket heatsink which can't be sourced for anything less than 250-500. Obviously not going to spend that much on just a heatsink so I'm quite happy with the purchase. It's going to be a busy winter this year :)

I do! I'll snag a picture when I get home :)

Thread locked for 24 hours. Heated debates are welcome, passive aggressive denegrations not so much. 24 hours to allow for to people to cool down. Double posts merged, I would like to kindly remind everyone of thread bumping before 24 hours, you can always edit your posts if something comes to mind later. Also while I do prefer discussion and debate to be civil, this forum also has a modicum of professionalism for heated discussions. All parties should consider yourselves warned for the respective violations, corrective action will follow. Thank you everyone and happy posting!

So I finally have a formal staycation lined up for christmas time, first time in maybe 6 years...So naturally I have some work lined up lol 2x GTX 690 w/ accelero xtreme 1x ATi HD 5870 w/ accelero xtreme 2x GTX 280's (1x w/ accelero xtreme) 2x 9800 GTX's w/ accelero xtreme (Having to modify, doesnt line up perfectly) 2x ATi HD 5970's (1x accelero xtreme) 1x AMD R9 280X TRI-X 1x AMD R9 390X TRI-X 1x ATi 4870x2 Reference 1x GTX 295 Dual PCB 1x GTX 970 MSi Gaming 1x RTX 3090Ti 1x 7900 XTX Red Devil (Never Finished) 1x GTX 1060 3GB (Reference) I might pick up a few more GPU's if the price is right. Thanks to @Mr. Fox's writeup I'll likely start to pick up some of the water cooling equipment so I can put the 7900 XTX and 10850K (also courtesy of The Fox!) under water and get a bench built around that next to my Daily Driver. Luckily I am still working more than I sleep so picking these parts up should be more than plausible... If you guys have any 3rd party heatsinks for older cards feel free to reach out, I seem to have a fascination with accelero xtremes :)

Sorry lost that file years ago for the Ranger, never had the AW18 version

Dont be mad when you have a bunch of passed out pedestrians outside on the sidewalk lol

Perfect, wasnt expecting a full write up but it is very much appreciated. I will probably start collecting more things towards the end of the year as I would like to get some benchmarking in the Winter when I can take advantage of the colder weather with some vacation time I think I still have a couple of weeks worth of time I can use. For the time being though, I did pick up 2x 9800 GTX+'s (55nm) to go with my accellero xtreme 9800's if the old posts are to be believed they dropped temps by around 30C+ so adding some cold air should let me around any temperature concerns for the most part. I also picked up a R9 390X 8GB TRI-X for 40 USD. If anyone here happens across some aftermarket heatsinks please feel free to reach out. I am hoping to collect enough for the GPU's I have, some of them are getting quite rare. I guess at this point starting to collect Waterblocks can be the new hobby once I start diving into that space.

Lets steer this back towards just sharing music for a while eh Gents?

I do the same thing, I do not entertain people wasting my time. In other news, I have been promoted a couple of times at work and its smack dab in the middle of the busy season for my line of work which is why I haven't been able to post. It certainly seems the forum needs some work again and we are entertaining moving the host to another platform. I'll be bugging Hiew about that maybe to happen this holiday weekend. As for actual tech related topics... I have been considering the alphacool 1080mm radiator and stand. 200 USD seems acceptable. If I go this route, are the Nidec Servo's still heralded as one the better fans to go with? I have been partial to the 2150RPM variant as I used it for probably 6-7 years at this point. Taking 3rd place kind of bugs me for the 7900 XTX, so I have been mulling it over for some time but water + liquid metal are likely the only way to hit higher overclocks whilst taming the hotspot.

Welcome to the Forums !

Always nice to see a forum member getting their props for carrying out their experiments :) Not sure why but the YTuber calls vbios mods "software shunt mods"

What 3080 are you running? My 1080 is basically dying and wouldn't mind upgrading but I am unsure of the supplement power cable. My chassis was originally a ZM swapped for a DM-G board iirc.
