Hi guys, I came across a formula to calculate RAM-bandwidth that goes as follows: frequency/2 *128bit/8 (for DDR memory). That to me means higher frequency = more bandwidth = better performance. But I am wondering why it doesn't take timings into account. So does higher bandwidth/frequency increase performance or not? Especially in professional grade application not games (I already watched Linus' video about that myth) Greetings Steve -
Now it all makes sense! Thanks bro now I get at least the parallel part But I think since flow direction doesn't matter (obviously J2C is also going in at the "outlet" first) I can ignore the serial one.

Hi guys, this is a newbish question but I just can't get it down. Does it matter which direction the water flows inside a GPU block? I mean if I have 2 cards, and I enter the 1st on the bottom left, exit it on the bottim right and go up to the top right in/outlet of the 2nd GPU, the water is flowing backwards am I right? Do I have to make a 45° turn to get from bottom right to top left so that the water flows the same direction in both blocks or doesn't it matter? Thanks Steve

Did some 30sec research. Didn't know about it! Thank you sounds very interesting but as always: depends on the cost

If the price of the new Broadwell-E and Pascal chips allow it I would love to have the i7 6850K and 2x GTX 1080 (whatever will be its name). For storage I'll go with 500GB of Samsung (currently planned 850 Evo) and 1TB WD Black for my Windows stuff and 250GB and 1TB for Ubuntu. The extra storage needed will be located in my home fileserver. I think that is the best solution for me

Hi guys it's me Steve, I had to move from this topic: So now I'm here introducing a 2nd time: THE (STILL) NAMELESS WALL MOUNTED PC! You can read about it on my blog https://steveswallmountedpc.wordpress.com/ where most of the more detailed postings will be at. Please feel invited to follow the blog although it is quite boring at the moment because everything is hypothetical. This thread here will be the main forum thread throughout the build. I will also add a smaller one on overclock.net and some others. I have 3 interesting things by now that are targeted towards people who are planning their own custom mods and measure in millimeters. I have made and will make further AutoCAD drawings of the components and give you the measurements in mm. There will also always be my inch reference in a seperate link in case you don't use the metric system. But have a look yourself: https://steveswallmountedpc.wordpress.com/2016/03/01/the-mainboard/ (I made this to be printed some time to know exactly where I have to drill holes to mount an ATX mainboard). This may be a bit early to start a build log for a mod that will be done in september/october but I want to share every aspect of the process with you including the pre-build research which in my eyes is the most important part! I hope you will enjoy following this (I think it's a firstie on LTT Forum) and are as excitied as I am Keep it up! Steve

Is the EVGA SuperNOVA 1000w Titanium PSU good?
steveroch-rs replied to Bhav's topic in Power Supplies
Hi, first of all EVGAs are great. At least that's what johnnyguru says and I only buy PSUs he ragards as worthy. Depending on your build I would say yes get the 1000W although it really is quite overkill but the difference in price isn't all too much and you have future upgradability. But I have to tell you, you may be better off getting more powerful cards in 2 way than less powerful in 3 way. But I will revise that if you say you are going to get the most top tier pascal 3 times which would be totally badass. -
Yes that's a great Plus for AMD. I hope Nvidia will do SLI communication over PCIe with Pascal as well because I can imagine that they will have a different kind of Top connector for NVLink where SLI connectors used to be.
-
Wow, just wow that looks crazy. But if it works great job I'm not quite sure what I will end up in the end but depending whethe I have more success in finding an extra long bridge or not I will either stack them like normal SLI or have them seperate. I will let you know when I find something.
-
Thanks, but I'll use the premium stuff. This is the most crucial part of the system and I don't mind spending 200 more on cables when I know they work great. But what do you mean by saying that I should be careful with SLI bridges? Is there any downside with the length?
-
Yes sorry was a bit retarded. I've been talking and googling about SLI the past 2 weeks and it seems to be burnt into my brain. I know what you've mentioned but thanks the reminder
-
Thanks but I'm not sure if you're correct with the SLI because Show4Pro from overclock.net is running 2 7970s in SLI on 3M risers without problems. And I think the performance will only drop if you get cheap unshielded with high AWG rating. OFF-topic: I read about your Iced Blood build and would like to know what Mayhams and Primochill sponsored you and why if you don't mind me asking

Hi guys. So I am planning this new build to wall mount a PC with the latest components by end of this year and I like to have all the obvious "Murphey's Law" problems solved in the beginning. Short intro: september or october will be the time I want to have a new powerhouse PC for VR and heavy workloads and I want to have it hanging from my wall. Since there is no reason for me not to show off the sexy graphics cards (water cooled) I am looking for 2 PCIe risers x16 to x16. They will be hooked up to what I think will be the GTX 1080 or 1080 Ti. But I've heard of many problems with riser cables. Worst of them all is the EM-interference when not shielded. Now I am totally confused and would like to hear your thoughts about it: What do you think about passive vs active riser cables? I've read the last comment in this topic: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/which-feature-in-a-x16-pcie-riser-cable-is-more-important.216469/ and I don't understand what he means. Is he saying active risers reduce the voltage peak when load is dropping rapidly because they have capacitors? And then he says that the inductance decreases as the cross-sectional are increases which to me means that I have to get a thick cable. And then he says 'So while the votes overwhelmingly agree to get the powered cable, you can now...' which sounds like he's not a fan of powered/active cables with capacitors?! I would really appreciate if you could tell me your experiences with riser cables. To add: The risers will most certainly be 20cm and 30cm long or 30cm and 40cm depending on my board layout. Keep it up Steve

Lol, like this guy
