Cranking up the memory helped a little bit.

Seems to run fine at +550 (!) on the memory. I had the occasional flickering texture at +600.
Actual memory speed is 3649. Heh. Wow.

No, I meant 1175 Mhz, not 1175 mv...although I do have the latter set as well. The card I had the other day was trying to go 1280+ out of the box. Perhaps that's why it was crashing...but I never even tried to fiddle with the settings as it just wouldn't run "stock". edit: I never tried to _raise_ t...

Running water cooled, mine probably has a little left in it when I find time to play. OOTB, the card (also the EVGA FTW) maxed out at 1175 in operation. I'm currently running PrecX set to +112 on gpu and +130 on memory. During the 3dmax run, peak GPU temp was 35C. Peak power was 119 (and happened on...

To be clear... some 670s use the same board as the 680. Not all. The reference board for the 670 is much shorter. I don't think either uses the same board as a 690, since the 690 board has the 2nd chip mounted on it. http://www.brightsideofnews.com/Data/2012_5_4/NVIDIA-Radically-Reduces-GeForce-GTX-...

Ugh. Case is all closed up now. Routing is ugly because I used cheap vinyl tubing (~ $0.30 / foot) instead of the gamer-grade tygon stuff at $2-3 per foot. The vinyl works for me, but doesn't do sharp bends (kinking) etc. It is NOT a "clean" looking layout. In short, I have tubing coming in one of t...

Worked out about as well as I could've hoped. Room stays considerably cooler in closed-door gaming. It still gets a little warmer in here, of course, but that's not unexpected...me, the monitor, and the rest of the PC are all still throwing off some heat...it will warm up. Now, however it's "a coupl...

Well, objectively the install is a success. Some numbers... With the H50 cooler (self-contained water cooler for CPU) on the proc, and the stock fan on my GTX 460... Running "furmark" would rocket the GPU up to 80-90C in short order. It graphs GPU temp over time, and up to around 70 or so it looked ...

I was thinking about a liquid cooling setup like that when putting together my build - but figured it'd be overkill for gaming, would be a good idea for extreme benchmarking though. I've been happy with the Corsair H80 so far, peak temps during gaming are ~60* C at 5.0 Ghz and 1.375V. Yeah, for wha...

Ray, has me practicing landing on one wheel then the other (Bob Hoover's school) Cool that that ability is in there rather than the scripted landings of the LO/FC series to date. (I suspect this is part of the AFM...I'm pretty sure I did it in the updated Frogfoot and probably in A-10C...but could ...

Let us know how the heat dissipation works out by routing the tubes to the basement. I might get this done in the next few days. Everything but the tubing should be here tomorrow. Current parts list: CPU block: OCZ HF-MK1 (discontinued - picked it up for $20) GPU block: Swiftech MCW82 Rad: XSPC 480...

Yeah. In one sense I'm kinda wondering if it'll really solve the problem... But on the other hand...when the house is sitting at 72, if I have my cave closed off for a couple of hours (which I usually do at night once the wife goes to bed) I get warm enough that it takes me a while to cool down to s...

Not building a rig at the moment, but I'm converting mine to a somewhat more conventional water cooling system (vs. the self-contained Corsair cooler I've got on the CPU now). I won't be the first person to do this, I know...but I'm going to put the heat exchanger down in the basement - pump the PC ...

Re: Number 3's Diamond Roll video
Doesn't sound far from accurate. We're just following the boss. :D We've put up comms in and/or from our shows before, and you can follow through the roll pretty much with what you said. "Smoke on ready now nose coming up......rolling left and rolling......into the float......back in with the pull."...

Any plans to support your throttle arm? Thanks! I actually got quite lucky there. I deliberately built the throttle mount so that my arm would naturally rest fairly close to 85% throttle. As it turns out my arm is quite well supported when I'm at anything less than about 90-95% throttle. My humerus...
