You dumbass. I said GPU not CPU.. and you are a dumb fuck if you think im taking out a Nvidia card for an AMD. You are also a dumb fuck for not knowing that he is telling you basically it isn't the first time AMD has made a claim that failed. Im not an AMD hater at all but you AMD fanboy's are annoying. by the way, you don't like being called a dumb fuck, don't call my admin a dumbass. Watch the way you talk to people if you don't want the same in return.

sell my stuff because some day there will be a faster card? ummm too late, the Titan, TI and 690 is already out. My card is still in the top 5 fastest and there is 3 of them. Sell your own shit....lol

I don't do anything with computers, and don't know crap about building them, so I think the simple solution would just be to use EVERY thermal paste out there, and slather it all over every surface possible! Problem solved!

Govt contracting. Cheapest bid wins. And you arent doing snything like this in your actual work. You know it I know it so using that as your argument is void. Pc building the only thing peopke get more butt hurt about than car audio

You mean LN2/Dry Ice. Kingpin wasnt the first and he isnt the only guy doing it.. and we've been doing that a lot longer than 10 years as well. You probably halved whatever credibility you might have given yourself earlier with that snarky comment.

Zapco ZX26kD Price: $12,000 Rms: 20,840 watts @ 16 volts < 0.05%THD (2 ohms) 20,000 watts @ 14.4 volts (2 ohm) 13,550 watts @ 12 volts (2 ohms How do you even feel about six power and ground banks making a total of twelve 0 gauge cables to one amp. From the factory. That is my dream amp.

That thing looks really familiar

A couple Orion Concept 97.3's... Sorry for the suckey picture, I picked these up and by the time I got home it was getting dark. One was picked up for a buddy, so only one remains in my stash

No one ever said you had to have it on while you are driving. There are plenty of other uses for it as well, these are just 2 examples.

Whoa Whoa Whoa guys! Let me lay it all out since I just read a few random articles on the interwebz about waterboarding... or ah... watercooling... same thing right? Well, you need more teraflops in your gigahertz so that you get the max framerate on the solid state drive. DUH!

Things are going to get crazy when I post up my Apple GII gaming rig! Might go play some Oregon Trail or Number Munchers right now. I know if I put some braided wiring or more thermal paste in the disk drive it will probably work faster!

Sealed is a very good option for this line.

nope, can't see them. Unless you are talking about the NICE black braided cables going to the GPU's...that are ziptied nice and clean. Other then that, you gonna have to take the side cover off and stick your head inside to see anything else. Ain't nobody gonna do that.... tell you what, post up your rig doing a better score then this and i will let you in the REAL PC enthusiasts club.

so i should ignore the manual and go with "jeremy, from the internet's" advice instead? and just know this, the 2nd and 3rd cards, i went out of my way to make those "lines" in the pattern as thin as possible so i wouldn't have to listen to the know-it-all's again. Guess what happened? it self leveled again, spreading out on the chip on it's own, and started too look like too much AGAIN. But i know it isn't too much. As for the pattern itself, most of the bulk of it gathers at the center, where all the lines criss-cross making most of the blob in the middle. Also, guess what else? the temps are great, no problems at all. Honestly, 1/10th of 1000% of the people on my forum, facebook, twitter and youtube have never pulled apart a perfectly good video card and replaced the heat sync with a water block......so i am not sure where all the experts are coming from. I would say the usual "you read too much and don't DO enough"....except for if you READ, it tells you, i did it right. I'm not saying you should ignore the manual, I'm just going by experience from actually playing around with different methods of applying thermal paste. I personally would have tried both methods and see which worked better just out of curiosity. And yes, I said that it LOOKS THICK but is probably deceiving me, maybe you should read things. Speaking of reading things, being a senior IT field technician for an IT firm in DC, and doing federal government contracting ..you're absolutely right, I don't do enough. And obviously it spreads evenly across the middle, however because of the pattern *repeats self* "Applying thermal paste in arbitrary patterns will decrease effectiveness because it will be thicker in some places than others, which makes the cold plate contact less reliable." Again, follow the EK Waterblock manual to the T, or listen to Jeremy, from internet?. LOL hard decision. Sorry bro, but i would GUESS what i needed to do before calling on you. Only because i have more experience in the matter then you do. That is unless you have been building computers since the early 90's and owned them since the early 80's. Like me. exactly, and i said many times i have been WATERCOOLING for over 10 years. Almost 15. You can't tell me to "get with the times" if you aren't on my level yet...just sayin'.

You dumbass. I said GPU not CPU.. Easy there pete the pc pirate evidently you srent quick enough to know that amd tends to overinflate their claims. Did you catch it that time or do you need me to type slower. Oh and strike one

I just realized something here and I think its kind of funny. Anytime someone tries to prove their knowledge in the computer world they pull out the "Im an IT for such and such company". Ok, your job is working with computers, more so the errors from the idiots at said companies using them or messing with settings they have no idea what they do. Your pro, I rate you slightly above a MECP Certified Best Buy car audio installer!, Why because those installers took a dumb'ed down version of a MECP test for the job, further more they have no actual experience most the time, and they became certified by answering multiple choice questions with no hands on experience, or even teaching. Walk into a Best Buy car audio department with a small chunk of true 1/0 gauge cable and tell him you need ring terminals, have your camera ready for the look he will give you! But back to the IT guys claim of fame... Your job is mostly dealing with keeping the companies network running and running smoothly from what I gather. I use to be interested in this field. How many of those machines are running a high end graphics card? How many of those machines are water cooled? How many of those machines are actually built by the IT guys? Oh thats right they all say dell on the side of the tower, use onboard intel graphics, and some crazy contraption of plastic shrouds and a gimped piece of metal to keep them "cool"...... I have a buddy that lost his high paying factory job, and went into this field 7ish years ago, he works for US Bank and is the only IT guy at this branch. The best part is every time he gets a new pc built guess who he calls to go over the parts before ordering and who is putting it together??? But I will give him credit, because when it came to networks, mine in specific he got my 4 Linksys routers that are all slightly different models all to wireless synced to boost my wifi range around my house. Ill admit I failed on it, and even flashed them all to the newest software, and no matter what I did it just wouldnt work but he got it going for me and it only took a matter of minutes. But hey thats what his job consists off, not building high end computers...

See, I knew this thermal paste issue would continue.

get out..... so bad ass.

Also wanted a Butler Tube Driver

You mean these ones (not mine) Yea, I know for sure that the bottom 2 are US Amps ... but what about the blue one ??? That's not anything from US Amps ???I'm thinking that's something else .... That's funny when I saw the title to to the post the first thing I thought was from 1998 the US Amps VLX-400 It is. Bought my first sub ever at 11 years old from the Car Audio shop that US Amps started out of, early 90s. I spent a lot of time there and learned tons... They had that amp, along with the Orion Red Beast, and Black Beast amps on the board in the demo room.I was exposed to amplifier porn at quite an early age and never seemed to recover.

What makes.it crazier is they all look minty. Those amps sre older than some of the forum members

Nice rig steve but you should have done one thing. Play the shit out of it

WHOA!!!! Wait a person that actually understands that all TIMs are not the same viscosity, and some of them that come with some brand coolers are actually very runny, and are normally non conductive paste. While others like artic silver or mx, or ic diamond is conductive to name a few and causes a huge problem if it oozes off the chip. No matter how many people reply saying its not an issue with how it is applied, and actually know the differences between different types of thermal pastes like us, Im sure people will continue to reply saying "YOU DID IT WRONG"! lol

Jealous of that dudes collection.

Computer looks hella nice!!!! red goes with these Asus ROG motherboards we got so damn nicely! I was expecting Hank to be the first to say that. LOL

Still wont make you better at BF4

still have a hard on for the PPI Art amps

not really overkill if you are on triple monitors (2560x1080) and soon to be 7680x1440 thanks! When I read this my pcs fan kicked on and started making this weird noise. I had to reassure it that I wasn't going to try and make it do something crazy like this before it stopped.

i think you missed two words. Squeeze "it all" in between the Know and the More to be exact. lol

Theres.only.one thing people know.more about than car audio and thats pc building

damn, i should have consulted with you before i started! the 1TB is the shit. This is the internet, the place where no matter how badass something is, SOMEONE will find a way to say something negative about it. (you didn't say anything "negative" but you are implying that i did something wrong with the "other then that" comment. I saw you double posted your opinion on what you "would have done" on FB but i deleted it. No need to tell me 2 times what you would have done when i don't even care what you would have done the first time you posted thanks anyway though but i got full control of this project.

Your woofers have more motor force than your engine........ Effn nuts bro. I just wanna see how the hell batts and amps are going in the trunk.....

homemade tweeter savers a standard car dome light in line with your tweeters positive terminal. It acts like a resistor that changes impedance as it gets hot and starts to glow. When the impedance rises, it causes the amp to put out less power, keeping the tweeter in check. If you push it too hard still, the bulb will pop and NOT the tweeter. Get a new bulb, set your gains better, and you are back in business. click here for an example. http://instagram.com/p/bzLpBJEt1w/
