The Official Graphics Card and PC gaming Thread

there are retail oil submerged systems so i assume itll last.

samn lots of the new coolers have adhesive back plates aparently now so installing a CPU withthe mobo in a case with the back open is really easy now. i knwo the corsair h50-1 has it.

 

Modern technology. Gotta love it ROFL!!! Just tried my new VGA --> HDMI converter. NO success. Tried it on 2 capable HDMI devices. Then I ran the HTPC back to the standard VGA connection to a VGA monitor. It worked. So the Converter should be getting the signal, but the LCD tv's are not getting the signal. Conclusion: Faulty cable! Guess I'm contacting the guy...

Ok, it looks like I'm mistaken. The VGA connection on the cable, is actually a HD15 vga connection. Not to be confused with VGA d-sub analog. So now i'm not even certain if such a converter exists. Analog to HDMI is probably gonna cut the resolution...

 

Well I think of it like this... if it can handle Sam's hardware, mine should be cake ;P

Been around for years. Distilled water eventually loses its purity and fries the board. Mineral oil, on the other hand, can last indefinitely. The actual "fishtank" case I think you're talking about has run for years.

That was always a concern for me when moving to a new OS. But funny enough, has never really been an issue at all.

 

Yea, What I meant was mineral oil. And it's a good cooling system too.

 

Shaff: They do, the TRUE is one of them, but adhesive backplates are single-use only. With my original TRUA I used the adhesive on the Maximus II.
Jeff: If you like the Armor, you should like the HAF932 even more I reckon

 

Well I've been up close and personal with this particular HAF and yes I already love it. Getting the side panel from the AMD dragon edition as well.

 

I actually side with your friend, I prefer the normal panel as well, but there we are

 

Well I'm not gonna complain for $80. The AMD side panel is awesome anyway

 

Amd side panel. How about a pic I'd probably like it myself

Assuming the panels are interchangeable, that's the one I will get.

 

Ah hah! Very nice. Not into the red myself, but the dragon is sure cool.

 

ugh. I was trying to install the gts250 and every time I push it in order for it to be 'locked' on the pci express socket, my motherboard's battery keeps falling off! The gts250 perfectly fits though. I hate the way my motherboard is designed!

 

That's a design flaw I've never seen before, you sure you're doing it right? Which board?

 

Indeed. That sounds highly unusual...

 

Yea, I'm pretty sure Am doing it right. I mean, there's only one way anyway... lol

My board's manufacturer is ASUSTek and model is Limestone 1.04

 

Sounds like something Asus would do...
Keep at it, I'm sure it can't be impossible.
Remember of course, you typically insert a graphics card vertically downwards, it shouldn't even be making contact with the battery holder.

 

I'm sooo frustrated! I really don't know what to do. Coz if I put the battery back while the gts250 is installed, it just wouldn't barge in. I don't really know how to explain coz it's kinda complicated. But yea, I can put the battery in but the graphic card is not fully 'locked' when I do it. You know what I mean?

 

take pictures and let us help u

 

Indeed. A picture is worth 1,000 words
