    Not sure about NBA, but yeah, when the GPU warms up, it'll usually make everything else warmer too, speeding up fans in the case.

    Looks good! Mine was just supposed to be an example. literally the first one that came up when I googled it. Glad you found one!
  3. Codyman125
    Eh, Overclocking won't add a massive amount of heat, plus if you're only hitting 75, I doubt your fans have even ramped up all the way. Overclock it and if it doesn't top 90 in synthetic benchmarks, you're good to go!

    slightly, some cards to clock higher to run the second monitor, mostly on VRM though. 74 is still nice and chill though. Don't worry until mid 80's

    They're often called "Universal VGA waterblocks" http://www.amazon.com/Swiftech-MCW82-Universal-GPU-Waterblock/dp/B005N2WIF0
  6. Codyman125
    Yeah... I guess I should have guessed that from the "I have so many spare parts" bit... just go universal block I'd say

    Pro tip, the money is better spent on a better card. Anything short of "High End" cards, and you will always be sacrificing a lot of performance for Aesthetics. I'd suggest getting an old GTX 780 Poseidon card from ASUS, or even better, a 980 (or 980 Ti) Poseidon, as it is both air and water cooled. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00IMVYJR4/ref=dp_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=all

    It ISN'T a PURCHASE. All they had to do was REGISTER it. A simple, EASY TO FORGET step. I forgot I had done it on my 980Ti until I looked it up.
  9. Codyman125
    yeah, you're good. no big deal. modern processors thermal throttle before any meaningful damage can be done.

    Eh, doubtable at best. If anything, it may reduce lifespan, but the lifespan on these components are much longer than their usable lifespan.

    Here I was thinking my NES pc was gonna be cool...
  12. Codyman125
    Yes... 100C is very bad... just grab a Hyper 212 or the like for say $20 and be happy... But for real, a watercooler is kinda needed if you want to overclock it at all. I've got mine chugging away at 4.848Ghz 80C

    I saw a Xeon 2697V3 engineering sample on Ebay yesterday... it went for $520... I wish I coulda snatched that sexy beast

    " Limited Lifetime Warranties are available to the original owner on applicable parts if registered by the original owner within 30 days of the date of purchase. " Did you read my post?

    I believe you meant to link the BX 200 http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-BX200-240GB-Internal-Solid/dp/B016JREGAC/ref=dp_ob_title_ce
  16. Codyman125
    Excuse me while I TELL EVERYONE about this
  17. Codyman125
    Hotter? Eh, I mean, it's only a 970, so NBD there, noisier? yeah, but it's $349. Is it worth it to get the same performance at a higher cost? That's up to you. If you're doing anything higher than 1080P though, I'd go 390 because 8GB vs 3.5GB
  18. Codyman125
    No! Limited Lifetime! Go to the page and look under the "Limited Lifetime Warranty (Original Purchasers Only)" Section http://www.evga.com/support/warranty/graphics-cards/
  19. Codyman125
    I've got my 980Ti overvolted by 78mv, 12 should do jack-shit to the GPU in degradation... Just bad luck I'd say
  20. Codyman125
    If you bought the card new, and are the original owner, and registered the card, lifetime warranty! At least in the US anyway...
  21. Codyman125
    Eh, with a 960, the next worth-while upgrade would be a 980, but with Pascal coming in the next few months, I'd wait it out. At the best, you may end up with a 1070 or 1080 that rocks a 980Ti's socks, at the worst, the high end Maxwell GPUs will lose value, and you can grab a 980Ti or so on the cheap
  22. Codyman125
    EVGA has a lifetime warranty, and even if you do overvolt, they can't tell. I'd ask them to cover shipping, but just remember that in the end, they are saving you from having to buy a whole new card here...

    I might be wrong, but it could be that Fermi just handles tessellation better than Kepler, if that were the case, as games used more tessellation, Kepler wouldn't be as good as Fermi...
  24. Codyman125
    I'd say yes, there are already proofs out there that bigger cache sizes on HDDs makes them significantly faster, I can only imagine what an 8GB cache would do.
  25. Codyman125
    Non-Z motherboard... If you could, it'd be through some strange means... I'd go ahead and say no.
