Yeah Ide like to give water a try eventually. Maybe a project worth working on for this summer's heat

Btw whats a good setup for water coolling a refferance Gigabyte RADEON HD 7970 ?

Blocks wise there isn't difference for the card, as they're all built for the reference design so just buy what you like there, use 1/2 inner diameter fittings( compression type for the bling factor if nothing else), and if cooling just the card, a single 240mm radiator will do just fine and check out EK, or swiftech for those....Try to fit as much radiator within the case, as it allows more options to attach more fans not just for better cooling, but they can be slowed down to keep noise levels as low as possible and still cool the loop just fine.....2 fans at maximum RPM will make more of a racket than 4 fans running at less than 1/2 speed.



Pump wise there are kits where it's built right into the reservoir like this, wich allows to control the pump RPM and even shows how fast the water is circulating in the loop and water temperature:

And Koolance is the first out of the gate with a water block for the GTX680

Looks very nice btw...

lol who would pay $300 for a pump and res.

i paid 200 for just my two pumps

but for a quick kit i would get a external unit, maybe the Exos-2.5
http://www.koolance.com/water-coolin...hp?cPath=28_41

you can build better but it will cost more

That can also control 3 fans, has 3 temperature sensor headers for water temp, a built in flow meter and vary the speed of the pump and also has a reservoir, and if the idea is to keep everything as neat and compact as possible, it not bad.


Add up all those abilities in seperate components and see if it's much cheaper....It likely won't be.

Stop.... You're giving me ideas with the Exnos...

Did you even read the thing you linked?

"Show flow rate in LPM or GPM (optional Koolance flow meter required)"

I can buy all the features that thing does for cheaper and get better components at the same time.

yea thats them its been over 5 or 6 years or so i know i payed over 80+ each at the time but can't remember
but i just checked first place i found one

but they are good pumps to last this long

Oh, thought you meant you bought them recently. But yeah, they are good pumps regardless.

Thanks for the info and yeah those look perty nice. A bit expensive though.

Im getting wierd flashing of geometry. Its rare and only last for a split second. Its not like the gpu is overheating, but looks more like a driver issue. I checked temps just to be sure and im not going over 63*c on the core. Anyone else having this issue? Im running a 560ti

normal. Just a unigine glitch in some areas.

It happens on a Geforce 570M, too, in the same spots, so it's an engine issue.

Here's a mid-range system, eVGA GTX 670 all stock on the video card for this run. GPU boosted to max of around 1024MHz.



Would like to see a similar system as mine except with a 7970 at stock and see how it compares.

[shadow001]

Single card with crossfire disabled and back to stock clocks:





Not much of a difference is it....

Wow, very close.

Hey thanks for doing that, I wasn't expecting my request to be answered so soon, even if you are running a Xeon based system.

I was curious how your 670 GTX stacked up against Sli 560 ti's.



Not bad. Almost there.

Overclocked?

[Meteor|WAR]

After some overclocking here's the best I can do so far. Memory at stock but 140+ offset on the GPU which is about 1279MHz boost clock.

OK, beat your SLI 560 Ti's:



All it took was +135MHz on the GPU and +400MHz on the memory.

1258/3400

Think the GPU is topped out, but can probably squeeze a bit more out of the memory.

I havent overclocked yet

Thanks, that was what I was wondering.

Pretty important info is to know if these posted scores are with stock clock speeds or not.

[Omega53]

Here is my single 560 ti overclocked to 1.5ghz on the core and 7ghz on the memory



















ok its sli @ stock

[Meteor|WAR]

What did you do different from when you scored 1330? I asked if they were OC'ed before and I thought you said no.

I am also wondering why you're getting such a low minimum fps.

[EDIT] Ok now I see you bumped up to 1080 res. Funny it would make that much difference.

add infoBench from new card Ati 7950

Heaven crashes every time I try to bench, guess its not friendly with windows 8
