The newest resevoirs come in flat rgb ondisplay type shapes, all kinds of shapes have come to the market in fact. Pretty pleased about these! But recently ive started to wonder if there could be a smarter way of doing these builds that will fit into SFF builds natively without having to compromise on space elsewhere, ofc. this is impossible, but the idea stuck with me for a bit, and I still wonder if someone is actually doing what I am about to share, or if anyone has experimented with it as a mod, or simply just like the idea. As the title says: Dual Pump + Resevoir combo as PCI-E Expansion slot (2 panels), well that is essentially the idea, or rather the PCI-E part is the actual idea. With a bit of control circutry and some smart utilization of the possible length and balance by placing the heavy pumps closest to the panel brackets on the IO side of the expansion card mount. Theoretically this should be able to power (if not alone then add a molex or standard power connection) the pump(s) as well as share the information needed from the motherboard and BUS to provide good solid control of the loop(s). Having the resevoir in line with the Graphics Card(s) on a Midi/Full-Tower build, would line it up perfectly with the Pump Resevoir combo, for even less tubing and straight tubing. If done right, it might even be possible to put it inbetween too cards, for tight fit with a risercable, as long as the CPU loop has an access to one of the loops. It will free up more room for radiators, and air flow, or potentially allow for SFF builds with enough expansion slots to shrink in size while having 2 loops, and make room for a PSU. Ofc. its just speculation at this point for me. But If someone has made something like this i'd love to see it, or maybe Linus Tech Tips could go on a crazy workshop project like this? Either way, I hope this has inspired some one :). Personally I think my next build post University is going to be something really wild, and i wont rule out trying something like this, and I promise i'll make a video series/montage and share it with the LTT community if that is the case. What do you think of the idea of a res-pump-combo as an expansion card?

I did remove the folders manually but, nothing happened.... same error.

Well the thing is, yes there was a picture when it was running without drivers. However, the problem occured after i changed something in ccc, which has ben uninstalled and reinstalled twice now, and the drivers have all been reinstalled, but... whenever they get reinstalled the problem reoccurs. I really don't understnd what it is, but i dont think it is the tv, since everything else works as it should.

That did not work, once i reinstalled the driver the same error re-occured it must have saveed the information somewhere.

Hi there, I messed with my settings in custom resolutions in the CCC app I accidentally changed the refreshrate from 75000hz to something like7500.75 or something in a custom resolution. Normally i would justnot apply the changes, but it resulted in my tv now unable to detect the tv... so i cant rellay see anything. i tried to replug an old monitor, but i cant see the custom resolution and thus i can't undo what i did. Any ideas as to how i can find and reset these setting which seems to be monitor specific?

It is a 390, and i installed it yesterday, and i can only say that the card actually performed better than I expected in 4k resoloutions it still holds 30fps in games like Shadow of Mordor, the reason SoM is so demanding lies in the textures and thus in the memory needs. But none of my games is unable to pull 4k, allthough i do prefere some where in between 1440 and 4k as it as i refuse to go down to 30 fps in some games. I won't deny that 4k is compromised in terms of fideliity settings, but you really don't need things such as super sampling and anti aliasing in 4k crancked to the max, the ammount of detail in the higher resoloution really does provide the same things at some points.

You are right it is not going to be a huge perfboost, but it is going to be signifficant, in games with 4k textures, and i will be able to bump the resoloution too. It is not the 7990 i am swapping out but the 7870

I suppose that does explain why I am still able to pull the newest game on Ultra 1080p with 30-40fps on my old HD7870, which i am going swap with an R9 390 tomorrow, as I begin miss some dedicated memory for the high res textures + i am not a masterrace for nothing those 40fps are at least 20 too low. Thank you for the answers.

So if I plan to keep my GPU for a long period of time i'd be better off buying AMD strucktured cards?

so what you are saying is that they AMD cards are compared to cars: Like they got a nice motor but lacks aerodynamics?

Hi there, i've been wondering and googling for a while now without finding any answers as to why exactly I can't evaluate gpu's based on their Flop/s count, for instance is an nVidia GTX 970 nearly 2,5 thousand Gflop/s lower than an AMD R9 390X, approximately 70% in difference there...which is in no benchmark I have ever seen; the same as the AMD card beeing nearly 70% better than the nVidia card overall! So why exactly is it this meassurement does not apply to this kind of testing?
