I use to have a Hybrid CrossfireX setup on my PC a while ago (Radeon 5770 + GeForce GT220). The Radeon for graphics and the GT220 for dedicated PhysX...It wasn't too bad but It could be better with a better nvidia card and a more powerful PSU (I've only got 620W in mine currently)

I know that the 6970 has the Lucid Hydra Chip onboard so you can run this card and virturally any other card (AMD or nVidia) together. There is some teething problems drivers wise and scaling issues..and the some of there testing I have seen doesn't look too good but you have to remember this is very new and raw so it will take some refinement

thats where the extra money from a 2500k to a 2600k is

still a good score but not quite as fast, are you still running 4.3ghz

Just put on my cpu cooler and o/c'ed to 4.7

Super PI dropped to 8.03s

3Dmark11 was 5650, so got a little improvement :)

3DMark Results

Apparently my PC is now comparable to similiar systems, heh.

awesome what cooler was that again

i have been toying with the idea of getting this

EDIT ^^ those links are gay and you have to click it twice, open page shut page open page

EDIT just saw in the other thread a Thermalright TRUE 120 cooler

Wow, I gotta get me a second GFX card :)

not sure if you're being sarcastic...

will probably lean on the cards a bit more, but given that I'm sitting on the edge of PSU output as it is, I might hold off

Edited by bozodos

here's a result with the latest drivers; for some reason I can't push the cores any further or 3dmark freezes, strange given that could get the first card up to 950mhz :/

also swapped in a pair of Sata 2 Velociraptors in a 128k stripe :D

Anyone ever used a phase change cooler? I used one for about a week, until the moisture fried my mobo because i had the heater hooked up incorrectly :angry:

I was running 4.8ghz with an i7 920, fully loaded on prime 95 temps were less than 10 degrees.

Quick question I'm hoping someone can help me with; my asus P8Z68-V has 2 switches on it. One activates TPU (auto overclock) and the other activates EPU (a power saving feature). Does anyone have any experience with these features or know anything about them? Not sure if I should switch them on or not.

I've a similar board (P8Z68-Deluxe), I presonally don't bother with using them.

OC is best done manually anyway (espeically if you have got a i5/i7 unlocked CPU since its super easy) & as for the power saving thing... to me thats like saying I'm buying a Skyline to save petrol. LOL

question for the nerds.

currently running a 8TB server in a Thermaltake M9D chassis. but i have managed to clear a bit of space in this room for a rack mount server.

however, i do not know a great deal about rack mount setups.

What i would like to do is transfer all the gear out of the M9D into a rack. is this possible? or would i be looking at having to buy a server board, and going from there?

I personally wouldn't recommend a rack case in a home environment. Their cooling is typically designed for an enclosed rack environment in a datacenter with cool air at the front, exhaust at the rear. They often used very small high-speed fans to facilitate their cooling - and these fans are usually very very loud.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

exactly

It's a pity though, we have a heap of old 1 and 2 RU Xeon servers that are sitting under benches for this very reason - they are outdated but impractical to sell, and not able to be used in a home environment (without a lot of stuffing around with racks, cooling, soundproofing etc)

need more desk space, and i've never been keen on putting the towers on the ground

but if its not fiesable, then its not fiesable :). just curious to see if it was possible, as i could just mount it to the wall

Yeah rack really isn’t an option. My tower sits on carpet mate, and has for quite some time. I mean it has “legs” so its not sitting bottom surface etc. Can’t see why you cant do that. Also keeps cabling out the way.

How many drives do you have?

4x 2TB

or 8 x 1TB

Running RAID cards? Or JBOD?

If it’s just a JBOD server, a 4-bay m-itx option like this would be a good idea

I’m not totally up with m-itx boards, so not sure if they have onboard RAID or you need a RAID card. If you do need a card/more drive space:

(ive not totally checked space/specs tho)

Despite what the muppets have said, yes you can get a rack case that doesn't have high speed fans and it would be fine. Decent ones are pretty expensive though and it wouldn't really be worth the money.

i've noticed that when the towers sit on the ground, there seems to be more dust in the cases in a shorter period of time ( from the carpet i imagine).

at the moment both cases get a dusting every 6 months, unless i'm fiddling with them. then they get a dustout while the covers are off.

4x 2 TB at the moment. but theres another 2TB drive waiting to go in. once that goes in i'll be putting it into a RAID, probably something like RAID 5

the server was built to make use of old parts, and extra storage ofcourse.

cabinets i've seen are around $600 + freight

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
