    I just installed MSI Afterburner just to take a look. Only to find out my EVGA GTX 670 is running at 1200MHz core clock when a game is running. But the specifications read 1084MHz Boost Clock..

    I have done absolutely nothing about it's settings after installing it 3 months ago, what the actual fuck?

    omg cheater.

    Looks alright, but you could always bulk up the sleeve before the plug with some smaller shrink, then use the larger shrink over both.

    Reasons I call it PITA:
    - Heatshrink would hardly go over the darn thing without... "help"; took 10 full minutes! -.-
    - Heatshrink wouldn't hold onto the connector. It slipped. That's why I used cable ties.
    - Couldn't get the heatshrink all the way back up. Added second cable tie in the obvious gap.

    So I took the guts from my old PC and rebuilt and re-purposed it as a hidden HTPC.









    Not really hidden, but sorta.

    Well it took it's sweet damn time to ship, but it has arrived.

    A lot smaller than I initially thought, but isn't it CUTE?

    *tries to pull pro photography with $40 camera*





    Yes, those red/white cables at the back are $700 RCA cables refined with 105% quantum-entangled silver for unmatched signal quality, the USB cable also cost a hefty $300 but the sales guy told me it's the best USB cable in the world:
    (inside joke)




    The DAC was the final piece of our modest HTPC + audio setup, hopefully to last a long time to come ^_^



    Overall sound is beaut-i-ful, the DAC is superb and improved audio quality by a TON compared to the laptop's onboard sound! Sounds nearly as good as a Xonar STX.

    Plan is to shorten the cables to make the cable-mess less cluttered. (For those who can't see, pictured is a Google Nexus 7, a cheap slim USB keyboard, a Logitech M125 and an old 4-port USB hub.)
    Probably going to be picking up the Nexus 7 today, found a local store that actually got them in stock.

    Oww, my fingers. Took some time to sleeve the SLI bridge.


  11. #9151
    Personally i would not sleeve the sli bridge as i think it look best naked. The flexible bridges looks awesome.
    Also, first time posting on mmo-champion with a smartphone. Not as hard as i thought it would be.

    The ones I have are a bright orange. This is wildly incompatible with the theme I'm planning lol. That said, I spent some more time on it to try and clean some things, so I snapped another picture.

    Thats normal, the boostclock is the minimum boost. After that, the cards just goes on untill it hits it max temp i think. Prob stops somewhere around 70-80 degrees i think.

    So basicly, when dust settles in, the max boostclock will be lower. Or thats what i think it was.

    Thats not how Kepler works, I sent Holo a private message going over it all a couple of days ago so its a closed subject ^^

    PC que acabei de montar, tá faltando o SSD que ainda não chegou pelos correios, mas já deu pra ligar tudo e testar pelo menos:
    Rig I just finished building for my brother. It's missing the Crucial M4 which hasn't arrived yet, but I decided to just get everything set up, and test the pieces. Everything is fine, so I just gotta wait for the SSD to arrive and install Windows =].
    Not a gaming build, so no GPU, sadly =[
    i5 3450
    ASRock H77M
    4Gb GSkill 1333 DDR3
    1 TB Hitachi
    64GB Crucial M4
    Asus Xonar DG
    Antec HCG 520 (totally overkill, I know, but the price difference from other good brand, but lower wattage ones, was minimal, so I decided to stick with it anyway, just in case he decides to start gaming or w/e =p)
    Corsair 300R

    Thanks! I spent freaking hours trying to make it as clean as I could, but in the end I think I'll need some sharpie and stuff to color a few spots black lol. Trying to melt two endpieces of sleeve together so they look good and stay on the bridge was a long road, and not without imperfections. :E

    There are two layers of sleeve, since one layer showed the orange color of the bridge really badly through the gaps.

    It's with PSU companies not goddamn realizing that tons of cases today have a nice dedicated bottom intake for the PSU, of course people will face their PSU "upside down" to make use of that nice dust-filtered intake :S

    I mean look at this, what the hell do you call this:



    Who in their right mind would have their PSU intake facing the inside of the case, especially a 1200i? ARGH

    I personally do it because I prefer seeing the fan-side rather than a side with a big ugly sticker.



    And yes, a certain someone here, has already hounded me about it saying "IT'S UPSIDE DOWN NO YOU'RE WRONG IT IS UPSIDE DOWN!!!"

    Even though the screw holes are there to allow you to choose either. -.-
