  1. -r9 post snipped-

    The R9 290/x are hot, but i'm enjoying my 290x, and as far as i've seen it compares well with the 780Ti for roughly the same price as the 780. Mind you I bought before some of the prices jumped due to coin miners, but it looks like they might be dropping down again anyways with the next batch of cards (stock all but dried up during the buying frenzy).

    I game at 2560x1600 btw. Single 290x for now works great for me, and isnt that loud. In fact my GTX670's were louder in SLI due to poor cooler design for running SLI.. go figure lol :)

    Ill just PM you ;)

    Then why didn't you just pm him, lol, now I wanna know, heh heh

  2. haha, insane......insane.....I've been building my own PC's since 2003. My current one is about 2 years old, usually only let them get about one year old but I don't game anymore, no time. BUT even with the slight OC I have been doing to everything I can my score on 3DMark11 is only creeping around 7k. I wish I had a 12K+ scored PC but I really can't justify it for the lack of gaming I do anymore. Buddy of mine was in the 11K's a year ago but that still ain't no 12K+

    Been drooling over this build since the thread started...Jealous as all hell. Truly a nice gaming rig no matter what others opinions are. Already know it will perform flawlessly for you but still curious as your your thoughts on it for the demands you had in mind for it when you built it once you test it out on all that stuff.

  3. Did you not have the option for the 370, it has good low idle rpm specs 370 amp 6 phase Elite series

    300 rpm turn on speed

    200 amps @ 500 rpm

    250 amps @ 800 rpm

    370 amps @ 1800 rpm

    Twin rectifier plates

    12 press fit high amp diodes

    $749

    First off, I have this exact alt (Mechman 370 Elite 6 phase) and it has performed flawless for me. Period. Does 252 at idle..... Highly recommend Mechman and will buy from them again in the future.

    On a side note, since this thread was created I am curious as to the results per if the alt is sent in and tested to see if there is in fact anything wrong with it or if it is just the Ecotech and/or weather and/or belt slip issues. etc.

    Tuned in if we can get an update as to whether anything was wrong or not.

    OP: please get some form of battery tender if you don't already and plug it in over night, every night. (every night not needed but just do it, lol)
