uTorrent - does that and more, updates when there are bugs or
security issues, clean, very low impact/footprint, & stable.

Anyone have experience with this rebate house? I just went thru an 8 month
ordeal trying to get a rebate for a Foxconn motherboard purchased from
NewEgg. This is the first, and so far only, rebate I have had a problem
obtaining. To me, that says a lot about this organization's policies. Just
wanted to give you the 411 as I see it on this fraud squad. After eight
months, NewEgg is going to refund the rebate although they maintain it is
the manufacturer's and rebate house's respondsibility. YMMV and JMHO.

Re: [H] Water-cooling

Yes I didn't mention that, I do have an 8CM fan at the front down the
bottom pulling air in. Thinking about it though that has been blocked
off by a box of junk I put in front of it.  

I will spend some time over the weekend experimenting with different
configurations of air flow within the case and post the results on
Monday.

Gary,
This may be very old-school, but I get the best cooling when I allow air
IN 
from the case front and exhaust warmed air out the back of the case 
(Lian-Li PC-69's).  Does your case have air vents in the front?
If not, and all your fans are in the 'exhaust' mode, you may be trying
to 
pull air out of a static pocket. I'd buy into what the Beave said; turn
the 
side cover fans around to blow IN. At least this will give your case 
positive pressurization.

Re: [H] Water-cooling

2008-04-24 Thread The Beave
I would have air going towards the inside of the case to put the air on the
components.  Have air move out of the case can lead a void spot where there
is no air flow.

Here's an example of my case:

--O--
|   |
|   I   |
|   Video   |
|   |
|   CPU O
|   |
I HD's PSO
-

So air goes thru the hard drives to the power supply and out the bottom. Air
comes in from the front of the case over to the CPU FAN then out the back.
Air is pushed into the case at the Video Card area and is pulled out in a
Blow Hole on the top of the case. This works very well in my case.

I do use a 680i Asus motherboard, A Zalman CPN9600 CPU fan, an Asus 8800GTX
video card.  There is no cabling in the way of the components. Even the
power supply is kept neatly.  BTW, the power Supply is a PC Power Cooling
Silencer 750.

You should have intake air from the front, exhaust through the back. The side 
fans typically should be intake as they are placed usually above the CPU.

The fans on the side door of the case can be a problem. You have the air
going out or going in there? If the air is going outward try making the air
move inward. This way the air is being pushed from the back of the case.

I would also make sure the fans on the rear of the case is moving air to the
back of the case. If you have to, make those move at a higher RPM.

It's just a bog standard full tower with lots of fans. It's not

What's your case? Most (all?) of the 680/780i designs I've seen made
pretty
extensive use of heatpipe coolers. If your case uses an inverted mount,
like
a number of Lian Li cases do, those heat pipes don't work worth a damn.
They
supposedly have a wick inside to allow for inverted operation, but on my
680i (before I replaced it with a wonderful P35), I had stability
problems
that were heat related until I went water (and some after, but that's
680i
for you). I strongly believe it was due to heat caused by ineffective
heatpipes when in my inverted-design Lian Li case.

Any suggestions on a utility that will keep a log file?

I would run a utility to record GPU temps while gaming to gauge what
kind of heat you are outputing before crashing. The 9600GT's run
relatively cool and again I seriously doubt heat is causing the issue.
What NV driver are you using?

Re: [H] Water-cooling

2008-04-24 Thread Hunter, Gary
My case is very well ventilated using Scythe 12cm fans It's a full tower
case and has the fans in this configuration on the side of the case:



|   |
|   X   |
|   |
|   X   |
|   |
|   X   X   |
|   |
-

The back of the case has two 8CM fans at the top sucking out air 
___
|   |
| X X   |
|   |
|   |
|   |
| |
|   |
---

The Case isn't too load because the fans are all Scythe

Inside the case the cables are relatively tidy, but I would have thought
the fans on the side of the case should be moving enough hot air out.

The power supply may well be an issue. I may try to take some photo's at
the weekend if I have time to help show you the actual configuration.

Look into your case and make sure your airflow is working well.  This
means
get the power supply cables and mother board cables out of the middle of
the
case and try to hide them. Also, put some quality fans in the case, may
make
it loud once the fans turn on full, but at least it will keep the
components
cool.

Another thing you may want to look at is the power supply.  Make sure it
is
moving air thru it and keeping cool. Why?  The hotter the power supply
the
less power the power supply will give to your computer components.

Good example of computer wiring:

I agree 100% and I was trying to get that across in my note. The X38 is
head and shoulders better than the 780i. It's just that I had a burning
desire to play with SLI.

I think the crashes are certainly heat related as they will only happen
whilst I have been playing games for a while.

I am considering swapping out the 9600GT for a 9800GT2 but the NB temp
is still very concerning, the StrikerII motherboard is the big issue
here. It's a piece of crap. 

So with all that said. I would like to get the 780 running stable just
because I'm not going to let it get the better of me. (I still have the
X38 so will probably switch it back eventually)

No offense, but I would call going from an x38 to a 780i a downgrade,
not an upgrade, unless you must have SLI - and even then I'm not sure of
the value/performance ratio of two 9600GTs vs a single 9800GTX.

Water cooling should not be required in a non-overclocked system these
days, even an SLI rig. You have much deeper problems than heat if you
are experiencing crashes like that. I wouldn't suspect power either.

I  put it on one laptop PC, no issues so far.  

It was funny to see SEP pop up and say "NTKernel.exe has changed since the last 
time it was run, do you want to allow it to continue".   hehe..  :)
