    I was really annoyed that I couldn't decide if I wanted to buy another HD 7950 to run Xfire, sell mine and get 2 660's to save money or get an HD 7990. When the entire month I had 3 HD 7950's laying around the shop for future builds.... 2 weeks of thinking wasted. Any game, I don't have any of them and I am not picky.

    So let me understand this correctly. PCI-E 2.0 x8 is not enough to run 5 times 1080p resolution using 4 cards that had an MSRP release price of 550 dollars? Mind=blown Sorry for the sarcasm but it's assumed if you're gonna spend 4,000+ on a monitor and 2,000+ on a video card, you're going to be running a newer motherboard. And also getting 2% FPS increase going from DDR2 to DDR3 isn't mind blowing either.

    If I recall correctly, the "rumored" price is this: 550W Solid: 59.99 Multicolored: 79.99 650W Solid: 89.99 Multicolored: 109.99 750W Solid Sleeved: 129.99 Multicolor: 149.99 But that's just the rumor.

    Don't know.

    So apparently, I can buy an H320 from NCIX.CA and have them ship it to me. Apparently that's legal?
  6. PCBudgetSolutions
    I still wonder why it performs close to the H220, especially since it out performs the 2.0 despite the 3.0 being thinner.
  7. PCBudgetSolutions
    Is it the fans or the pump? I am gonna use different fans.

    Just out of curiosity, what is the ceiling for this? I am running mine @ 1.35V @ 4.5GHz and with my CM hyper 212 I am around 77*C on the second hottest core. I am going to get a water 3.0 extreme using Cougar Hydraulic Bearing fans @ 1200RPM. I want to push closer to 5.0GHz, but not sure how much more voltage I should push for daily use 8 hours of browsing and 4 hours of gaming per day.

    I did see there is an error where you can buy it from NCIX.CA and have it shipped to the USA but that's illegal.
  10. PCBudgetSolutions
    Probably gonna buy in the next 2-3 weeks.
  11. PCBudgetSolutions
    Buy a water 3.0 Extreme?
  12. PCBudgetSolutions
    You know they are 1200 RPM.
  13. PCBudgetSolutions
    But you know what fans i'll be using.
  14. PCBudgetSolutions
    Not EVERYTHING needs to be wa-er cooled.
  15. PCBudgetSolutions
    Dafuq?
  16. PCBudgetSolutions
    Even so an msi mpower board can handle 5.0ghz w.o blowing out the vrm
  17. PCBudgetSolutions
    3.0 is a 240x120x27mm rad the 2.0 is 240x120x42mm rad.

    So they made most of the improvements in the block and the fans. I don't plan on using the stock fans with this cooler, would the thicker Water 2.0 Extreme outperform the 3.0 Extreme with my Cougar Hydraulic-Bearing fans because it's thicker.

    Oh 99% of people probably won't kill them off by any means. I just dislike the fact that they spread the writes over larger bit cells on larger capacities and they STILL cost 600 for a 1TB SSD.
  20. PCBudgetSolutions
    Mechanical drives can have mechanical failure far before it's write limits due to being...... mechanical. SSD's only fail with bad firmware (Cough OCZ). lol

    It just bothers me that LARGER M500's have the SAME short life span as the smaller ones. I still recommend the 840 as it's a stupidly reliable drive. Sorry I forgot the link: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6459/samsung-ssd-840-testing-the-endurance-of-tlc-nand They did a test 262TB before it died vs 72TB.
  23. PCBudgetSolutions
    Yes go with the Samsung 840 Yes it uses TLC Flash Yes it's write speeds are slower BUT, Samsung: Manufacture's their own flash Design their own controller Write their own firmware
  24. PCBudgetSolutions
    A Crucial M500 has 72TB's worth of writes/rewrites vs 260TB of a Samsung 840 which uses TLC Flash even. Honestly, I'd eat through a Crucial M500 in probably 2 years or so.

    You'd have to go through ALOT of trouble to fake a tracking number to seem legit. They have to confirm delivery before PayPal even considers the refund.
