  1. I really like the looks of their liquid cooler Kuhler 1250. Different then the corsair idea.
  2. My favorite feature is the IR interface. Makes great for a universal remote with all my home theater equipment.
  3. I have only tried one coolant so far so I'm not making any suggestions just a little input. I run uv green Fezer One in my loop. I honestly got it because Linus used it on a few different builds in vids. It was hard to source and I ended up paying like $26 for a liter. It's been in my system for about 10 months now and when I look thru my res it still looks brand new. Besides price, the only reason why I won't be using when I do end up flushing out the loop, will be that I'm not that impressed with the way it reacts when hit with UV cathodes. It does glow a pretty green, but not to the extent that I was expecting. For the theme I'm going for I really want my coolant to "POP" more!
  4. I Know! I Know! My weekend plans were ruined by work! I ended up having to work someone else’s shifts along with mine. I've had no time, after work last night I came home but just couldn't stay awake. I woke up today and pretty much headed right back to work. I'm not making any promises but I'm determined to get some numbers done tonight along with screenshots and possibly a vid of fps while @ 5760x1080 in bf4. ( I won't get home til like 12:30am though) Sorry to keep everone waiting and thanks for the massive interest, I don't want to disappoint.
  5. K so I'm at work now but I see the new beta of afterburner was released today(beta 17) It claims that it unlocks voltage control, So I will try it out when I get home later tonight. I know you guys wanna see some numbers and temps really badly. Spoiler** With my current overclock no matter what bench or game, I Max @ 52c
  6. @ work til 12:30am EST!! I've been sitting here installing the blocks & making this post, CAN NOT WAIT TO GET HOME ALREADY AND GET GOING ON THE OC'S AND TEMPS!!!!!
  7. For those that are shopping or are looking for information on waterblocks for a R9-290 non-x graphics card, I hope this info can be of some use. So in North America I have only seen waterblocks available from EK. (I'm sure every other brand will soon be on the market) Also these blocks say they are for the r9-290x, the make no claim or mention of compatibility for a 290 non-x card. After the reviews when live late Monday night for the 290 non-x, I was getting the feeling that this card shared the same design as its big brother, the 290x. In hearing the outstanding news of the price and performance of the 290 non-x, I made up my mind that a pair of 290 non-x's were about to become the successor of my 7970's. (Was also quite annoyed with inability to purchase 290x's, watched Newegg all week and always "out-of-stock") Tuesday morning I made my purchase of non-x 290's and decided to take a risk and gamble on a set of EK-FC R9-290X Clean CSQ Nickel Plexi blocks. My thinking is that 290x blocks are going to work on a reference 290 non-x card. Here is the outcome: In closing these blocks although not specified to work with a non-x 290, fit and work perfectly!!! They literally just drop on and then screw securely with no problems. Also for anyone interested in knowing, I bought the sapphire card due to claims that the Asus and Sapphire 290x's came with the better overclocking Hynix RAM modules. Well either that was a lie or the non-x cards don't get the same treatment. Mine have the claimed to be dumpy Elpida modules. I guess I'll know soon enough now that their under water and can really be pushed.
