Thinking of replacing my keyboard and mouse in a bit, but thanks for the info! Good to know for future modding projects as I will probably come up with something fun to do with with my next keyboard as well

Thanx bro! Glad I could help It's been so long since I made this, I thought the tread died a long time ago... (sorry for extremely late reply) Hope you were satisfied with the result! Still use mine still no problem with it, adhesive still holds up nicely after 2 years. Hope you're having a nice weekend!

Yeah, me too.... Tried wrapping a keycap just for fun, didn't end up looking very pretty tho

Oh yeah lol, accelereation increased significantly

mayby 45 minuts, removing all the buttons and cleaning the keyboard takes half the time

.... Soo CHDSK just viped my 3tb mass storage drive ... I was backing up some data, moved a HDD from my NAS to my PC, disconnected one drive to be able to connect another drive. Restarting my PC to get the drive I just connected to show up, and when the PC booted up CHKDSK wanted to check the drive (I didn't watch it closely enough to cancel in time). When PC booted up after running CHKDSK, the WD 3Tb I just connected, had been assigned the drive name of the drive previously connected to that SATA port. In short -> I disconnected ":1TB#1" -> connected ":WD3Tb" -> restarted the PC -> the 3TB drive previously named ":WD3Tb" had now been renamed to ":1TB#1" and the drive was empty. Already tried some free data recovery tools, but to no avail. I have kept the drive disconnected since the incident. Log file found on the drive: _______________________________________________________________________________________ Checking file system on Q: The type of the file system is NTFS.

And sorry to mods if this is in any way found offensive, I assure you I have only the best intentions. And what is being said in the video is what I am trying to find out, this being the only means I have of translating and thus understanding.

Hey guys! So, a FB friend (unfortunately a Christian fundamentalist) posted a picture that I traced back to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ihbhbhFo7c Could one of you LTT-forum members that speak Arabic tell me what is happening in the video, as I don't understand anything. He seems to have something against Muslims, and I am trying to convince him that we are all equal. But in order to do so I am trying to understand wether or not the picture he posted is a hoax, and since I have the video I tought I'd try asking you guys for help. Thx in advance!

Thank you for taking the time man! Really appreciate it! I'm interested in a card for gaming and not mining, but I assume what you wrote about crashing, overheating etc. still applies if an old mining card would be used for gaming? (even tough the GPU load when gaming usually is not as high as when mining) Have you (or anyone you've heard of) ever tried re-applying thermal paste, pads etc, to see if the artifacts crashes and so on, are realted only to the card runnig too hot? Or is it material fatigue, caused by high temp over long periods of time? Don't know the first thing about mining I'm afraid (sry ), does the ASIC reduction matter for gaming performance too, or does it just apply to mining? thx again

Hi guys! So I haven't been in the market for a graphics card in a while, so if theese questions have already been answered here, let me know (tried searching on the forum). 1. Would the 290x DCii waterblock, fit the a 290 DCii? (At least) EK makes a block, but I haven't been able to sort out if both cards have the same PCB layout etc. Read somewhere that the DCii cooler for 290x DCii, was recycled from the gtx 780, don't know if it's the same for the 290 non-x... 2. Found a good deal on 290 DCii, been used for mining a couple of months, hence the low price (cheaper than second hand 770 2gb)... Now the obvious risk of failure aside, has anyone actually heard of a graphics card dying as a result of mining? Every thread I've read has been the usual "BEWARE" of buying second hand mining cards, but so far I haven't found a single comment of a card actually dying, which made me sort of curious Thx in advance! :lol:

You, as a content creator could give a different perspective on the video quality of the gopro, perhaps a side by side comparison between the gopro and some of the cameras you guys have on hand. This is something I would be interested to see, in terms of color accuracy, sharpness etc.

Any conductive material will do (steel, copper, iron, aluminum...), the "cage" term used, is what throws people off

Was running Thermochill EC6 for about 2 years, clear tubing and clear coolant, no gunk, and nothing to clean out. Unless your loop runs EXTREMELY hot, I can see no reason why you'd need to change the tubing every 6 months, (unless maybye, if you buy the worst quality cheapo-tubing you can find). Aftet the 2 years the Masterkleer tubing I was using was still in cherry condition. Just my 2 cents...

Ah, I see Still at 18W max including fans, I see no issue running pump with above mentioned adapter. At 12V( a relatively speaking "low voltage"), both the length of the wire, and the actual continous power draw decides the appropriate gauge, not the power draw alone. U = R*I (voltage= Resistance*Current) Considering how short the adapter wire is, at ~1.5 amps max, I hardly believe the resistance of the wire to be a security risk, even if the startup current would be greater than 1.5 amps. If the length if the adapter wire were longer, say 3 feet, or the power draw was the same, but at lower voltage, then it would be a different sceanrio.

I assumed the OP would run the pump with a molex connection if it had one? Then that cable would not be needed. And if he's running prefilled, than the gauge of that cable can hardly be "way under gauged" comapred to the copper on the mobo supplying the current to the pump and fan(s) under normal use. IF however OP's running say a Laing D5, the situation would be different, but to my knowledge there has never been any D5 or any other high performance pumps with 3-pin fan connectors, since they'd instantly fry the mobo fan header. // as always, feel free to prove me wrong

But hey, if that's the case, then I just need to hurry up and get the gtx 770 and waterblock and hope I'll land right at the sweetspot for optimal temp for the HHD's

Now this sounds intreresting! Thx for the link, had to look up the google study to read more in-depth about it. The only thing that bugs me is that this study was done in 2005-2006, with drives rangeing from 2001 to 2005, and capacities between 80 and 400 gigs. I wonder if the changes in the manufacturing process has made this study obsolete or not? In any case, thx for your imput, got me some interesting reading!

I know ti's overkill, but I'd rather not have to redo the whole loop later when I upgrade, as I will be making a custom PC-desk of sorts, in the near future so I try to set up the cooling for future CFX/SLI compatibility. I actually tried running it with fans turned off, (a guy here on the forum wanted to know if it could be done) ended up with 35C under light load, and 48-49 (20.5C ambient in botch tests)after the temp stabilised when playing Crysis 3, so for the time being it's more than enough. Been a Noctua fanboy since before Linus started talking about them in his vids, so I don't mind having them all run, just for looks, since the sound is not noticable =)

Sounds like a plan, I've unfortunately not got the chance to properly test a 144Hz monitor so I can't give any input on that, but I find it highly unlikely that anyone would find that monitor inadequate. If you decide to buy it I'd love to hear what you think about it compared to the other ones you've (unvolontarily) "tried" lately. I only know one other person that has one of these (S27A950), a buddy of mine that, after trying his made me blow a LOT more money on a monitor than I had ever tought I would. It's quite a while ago tho, so it woud be instersting to hear how it stacks up against the competetion today in your opinion.

Wow, I was sorta hoping it could be a bad batch of monitors or something if they were all the same model, but in that case you're probably right, cut your losses and move and on... Really the S27A950 monitor? I can strongly recommend it that's the one I mentioned above (bought it when it launced so the price was a bit higher back then (: ) The input lag is extremely low, I have no plans on upgrading any time soon (with the gsync hype an all that) since tearing has never bothered me on this monitor. I actually contacted LMG about buying that same monitor, but unfortunaltely the shipping would be too high to Finland. Would like another one, but seems not too many were sold over here...

Just out of curiosity, were all these monitors same model? Sorry to hear that! I haven't bougt any asus monitors lately, but my 6 year old 22" is still going strong. My current monitor 27" 120Hz Samsung had a stuck red pixel right bang in the middle of the screen when I got it, and that was a top-tier $700+ monitor, which you'd think they could afford to do proper QC on. Luckily it disappeared after a few hours of use and never came back. But that many in a row, that's cant be a coinsidence...

Have you gotten anywhere with your problem? The only problem that you may encounter with the PWM splitting is that the RPM reading for the fans may go off the charts, not sure how this affects speedfans ability to control them, since I haven't been using speedfan since the good old 3-pin fan days Have you tried your cable at all, or did you get spooked by previous comments on fried fan headers? Here's a video on controlling fan speeds with speedfan, if you haven't seen it already: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VjdQStihsE Just to clarify, since you only have one PWN signal, from each PWM header, you can't control different fans connected to a single fan header individually.

Just to make some things clear for peaople in the future reading this thread. As long as you get the wiring correct, the way you plan to do this is the correct way, and you will NOT fry any fan headers on your mobo. That's what the molex power connector is there for, it's feeding power to the fans, while all the cable to the fan header does is to provide the pwn signal to the fan, and the tach signal to the mobo. The PWM signal is only a voltage signal (it has very little amperage), which is why it can safely be splitted. =)

Nope, sorry man but I believe you're incorrect! I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, I just try to avoid misinforming people, and if you can prove me wrong I will not be offended

apparently they've been around for quite a while, but for some reason they haven't gotten a lot of attention. Hmmm, actually didn't think of that... Right now I'm only WC the CPU, not bothering to get a gpu waterblock until I upgrade from my 6970. Have a 480mm rad, will be adding a 240mm in my upcoming build project (I have it laying around so I figured I'd put it to use ) At the moment the CPU runs really cool so it would not be a problem, but I have no idea how much increase in wate themp a WC 230W GPU would add. Would be interesting to know what temps would be with 480mm (thick) + 240mm(thick) rads a 125W TDP CPU and a GTX 770 (what i'm considering upgrading to). Yeah, and I'm using a Laing D5 pump and s apogee XT CPU block just to add all relevant data. Any toughts? As I mentioned above I got these really cheap, and I'm not expecting any miracles If I can get the HDD's running same temp as now (on air) but quieter I'm a happy camper. I won't have a lot of airflow in the build I'm working on, (sounds strange, I know, bear with me, I have my reasons) so waterccoling the hdd's would meke sure they don't run too hot in there. Otherwise I'd just mount a fan in front oof the HDD stack the same way I have it set up now.
