Been at a conference, and not checking/responding to the boards much. But I'm back in my den of solitude now, ready to insult joker as necessary.
Silver Hammer Update: I'm down both 5970s. They need to be RMA'ed since they artifact something terrible at stock speeds. I have a 570 is the machine currently, but I'm not doing too much with it right now...
I'm really curious to see this Maxwell Spanker. I hope it puts me to shame...
Kick their ass Seabass!!Gonna have to have a chat with Newegg about this "3 day guaranteed" shipping.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNN!
Secret ingredient just ordered an hour ago. No idea when it'll get here, it's just regular UPS ground shipping. Not only will this setup spank Maxwell, but i'm quite sure many of those ranked above me will fall by the wayside rather quickly. I will be putting entire farms to shame with this. Can't wait to stick it into the Pentathlon![]()
I want a good spanking!
that's a tricky question to answer...hmmm....
My production has been about half of what it was a month ago, due to me breaking a cableAs i mentioned awhile back, I had my HD 5870 in the PCIe x16 slot on the mobo, and the GTX460 was hooked up with a PCIe X1 cable that ran from the slot to the card, which was mounted in a total void, about 2 inches off the end of the mobo. I'm not exactly sure what i did or when i did it, but i broke that cable, just barely, but it was enough to shut the GTX460 down
But, since the GTX460 was getting about the same credits in PG as the HD5870 was getting in DNETC, i figured i might as well pull the HD5870 out and put the GTX460 in the PCIe x16 slot. So, yeah, i've only been running 1 of my GPUs :/
I am getting a new motherboard, that will allow me to use both GPUs once again. This mobo is a socket 1155. My old one is a socket 775 with DDR2 RAM, so i also had to get new RAM and a new CPU. You also have already seen the new PSU i orderedSame brand and model as my current one, just a bit more powerful and more efficient.
So basically, i'll be using the same hard drive, same 2 GPUs i already have, same case and fans and pump and radiators. The motherboard, RAM, CPU and PSU will replace the ones currently in use.
But, there are also 2 additional new parts being added in addition to all of this. Very major parts...![]()

Ah, I see! Sweetness. So, then you will have a second mobo, RAM, CPU and PSU left over for a SECOND "Mini-Me version" of the Maxwell Spanker to build up as well!
After looking at that PSU . . . I can only dream / hope / wish I HAD ONE of whatever that "Very Major Part" is going to be, LOL!![]()
