    If you want to properly restore that card that you glued the fan back together on.....you CAN buy replacement fans for it. gtx+460+75mm+fans: Search Result | eBay WWW.EBAY.COM Buy and sell electronics, cars, fashion apparel, collectibles, sporting goods, digital cameras, baby items, coupons, and everything else on... Just a generic search, but the Hawk Twin Frozr is just a 75mm fan, same as all of the ones listed in that search. Depending on if yours are wired together or separately would determine which one to buy since you can buy a single fan or the pair. Most are going to be coming from China though, so it'll be a few weeks wait. If you wanted to restore it properly of course.
  2. Are you going to sit on the desk or your subwoofer? It'd be kind of redundant to put them on an existing giant vibrating box...... You're supposed to put them somewhere where you will FEEL them. The project you're talking about is more suitable with full range amplifiers and using foam sheets hanging off the ceiling to replace speakers with a transducer-ed sheet. Not subwoofer frequencies. By all means play around with it, I do encourage that. But what you bought was a sub amp for it, and the intent (I thought) was for lower range frequencies. Unless you're going to be sitting on your desk or your sub cabinet, I'd say attach it to your chair. Those little transducers are not suitable to make AUDIBLE sub bass frequencies, but they "can" be used to make full range noise.
  3. Its supposed to be mounted to your seat, whether it be a chair or a couch. They're also useful in cars too.

  5. I just caught that list, wow....... A smart toothbrush, floss, an easy bake oven for adults (isn't that called a regular oven?), and a smart condom and wine bottle? Seriously, people need to put the screens down more and go outside. If you need to order yourself a new bottle of wine without putting down the one in your hand, I think its time to admit there's a problem........ I don't blame you on the dog cam, seems creepy too. I don't like the fact that I have smart phones in the house myself even, but I can't deny their usefulness either though sadly.

    Want me to run my ASRock 990FX Extreme 3? I can....... I don't have a 960T though, and I definitely tapped out my 965BE, so kinda pointless anyway. We've got to work on your Socket 754 run too. I'll bug you on discord about it, but I'm sure we can get you to squeeze out a little more MHz out of it. It's a K8, so in theory it should tap out around 2.5GHz-3GHz+ depending on the chip. It should do really well with RAM too assuming the IMC's not damaged already. NF motherboard so you've got a good board to start with at least. Could be worse, you could be like @PCSarge who swore up and down he could beat @Bastiaan_NL with his 5700XT, and then never ran it again. C'mon PCSarge, this isn't StockclockedHardware.net! Yeah yeah yeah, shots fired..... I'd like to see us break into 4th place though. We were knocked back down to 6th though right now.

    The Opteron is okay for the DDR1 memory bench I do believe. For the AMD CPU runs (for DDR1 systems) it says no Opteron is the only rule, so your 3500+ would be suitable there.

    Dood! Awesome job with the SLI 460's! Dont' get discouraged if Flux comes in and does runs, its all part of the game. If his run is invalid, which it probably will be because its Flux...then yours will still stay anyway. Read the requirements on the Socket 939 CPU runs. Requires an Athlon processor, NO Opterons. I can't find my x2. -_-
  10. Here's another good "sub" song, much prettier song anyway. 30Hz range.
  11. It totally depends on the setup I've noticed too. To be honest, my Honda seemed to do best with a remake of Melanie Martinez's Carousel. Song absolutely BANGED in that car with dual Dayton Ultimax 10's off about 2500-2700w RMS. In my SUV though, with three of those subs and a measured 2744w to them, it tended to do better in the 40Hz range. In a home setup though, especially if its tuned correctly for home theater, those subsonic notes SHOULD be present, and they should be felt and not heard. I wish I had a proper home setup lol. Stupid apartment. Note: This is clearly not "high quality" music. This is most definitely a good subwoofer test though if your setup can extend to 26Hz.
  12. Okay but what about the 6900XT? It's great that he's doing this, but how does it work on the higher SKU cards too? If it works so well on the 6800XT, it should work on the 6900 and 6950 no? I won't be able to test this out on mine until MSI gets me my card back. Hopefully this will be released by then. I would be completely happy with an increase in power consumption, my PSU is hardly breaking a sweat as is, and my cooler keeps the card below 65*C load which is super cool for a 300-350w load. I just need that little TINY bit more GPU power than my card provides as is. If I could beat the 6950XT with my 6900, I'd be one very happy gamer. I'm really not THAT far down in performance from where I ultimately want to be. Honestly like another 5-10% performance, and I'd be set for YEARS to come.

    Nice catch! Yeah SLI doesn't work in windowed mode.
  14. 192k mp3 I think is what the "HD" youtube has for quality, or somewhere around there. You're right, its not the greatest by any means, but its at least listenable. Personally, I grew up with the mp3 boom. It hit right when I was really getting into speakers and music. So sadly, my ears are accustomed to it. I do still enjoy a good vinyl though too, sadly haven't gotten to experience one of those in like 20 years though. Here's one of my favorites to play with for excursion of subwoofers. You won't hear the low notes in this. I believe the "peaks" are at 17Hz and 7Hz respectively with the main bass note being somewhere around 30Hz-36Hz.

    If you happen to have an AM3+ setup (FX), we could REALLY use the pair of wicked high clocking 290's to join up with my RX 580's and Bastain's 590's.

  16. To be fair, the REALLY bad offender I was originally thinking of when I ran into Blue Jeans was "Coconut Audio". Website's gone now, but back in the day that troll really did have a fully functioning checkout system. Not sure how many people fell for the scam. I remember banning Patrick off OCN several times for trying to sell his garbage. I mistakenly thought it was Blue Jeans. Could've sworn Blue Jeans was spamming OCN at one point too, but I could be wrong its been years. Again, they're not THAT bad, but they're far more expensive than cables really should cost if somebody shops around. Just like Monster. Idk, I usually default to Parts Express and Monoprice usually. Amazon basics too. Copper wire is copper wire. *shrugs Obviously analogue wires require certain things in certain scenarios, but yeah.
  17. Dude...... Beldon 5T00UP is $2.25 per foot at Blue Jeans. Parts Express sells the same stuff for $1.79 / foot, or $143 for 100ft of it. Belden 5T00UP 10 AWG 2C Cable Hi-Flex In-Wall Speaker Wire CL2 Per ft. USA WWW.PARTS-EXPRESS.COM Belden 5T00UP 10 AWG 2C Cable Hi-Flex In-Wall Speaker Wire CL2 Per ft. USA. Part Number: 102-1190 by Belden. You're paying more just to buy it from a snake oil salesman at Blue Jeans. They make their money off selling their "ultra sonic welding" and their "color print out sheets". There's been people that have paid thousands of dollars for cables at that company, and had absolutely zero discernable difference from regular lamp cord. They're just as bad or worse than monster cable. You can even buy the stuff cheaper than Blue Jeans on Amazon..... Note the description: "We can cut to any length" https://www.amazon.com/Belden-5T00UP-Cable-Hi-Flex-Speaker/dp/B00CWEND4C I will admit, that they're not AS BAD when looking at their raw materials though. But their assembled cables, a lot of them (not all) are absolute snake oil.

  19. Hmmm, so I have the bus width to blame? Seriously though, as @Sir Beregondsaid above, this really feels like the GTX 680 release all over again with these RTX 4000 series cards. And the pricing on top of it is just a slap in the face to boot. I don't recall who said it or in what thread, but it really almost does feel like they're releasing garbage on purpose to push existing RTX 3000 stock and get that moved first before releasing the big card and calling it the 4090Ti, or maybe save it for the 5090. Guess we'll have to see how AMD answers this with the 7900XT to get a better idea of what's going on. Probably wait for the next "big" Nvidia card too, just to see if there's any reasonable explanation behind what they're doing this gen.
  20. I thought we had figured out over a decade ago that solid copper loops were the way to go? My last loop was on a 771 converted 775 board with a Xeon X5470 and a HD7970 (so about a decade ago). Used full copper everything, distilled water, and a kill coil. That loop was fine for like 2 years with zero maintenance. The one before that was on my 2500k, also all copper with distilled + killcoil, and I ran that one I think for around 3 years with zero maintenance. The kid I sold the 2500k rig to used it as it sat until the rig was retired, so it was basically as reliable as a CLC. Idk, I don't run water anymore because of added cost. But if I did, I'd still be rocking the tried and true system I've always used.
  21. Open the window and bench away my friend. It has to do with being below AMBIENT temperature and condensation amount in the air. If your ambient temp is 8C, and your CPU / GPU is say 10C (idle), that's fine. You can drop down to 0C ambient, or below 0 even, and still be fine. Condensation starts happening when you use ice buckets on radiators, dry ice, LN2, phase change, TEC, etc. And that's because you're making the component colder than the air around it. Think about it like when you pull a tub of ice cream out of the freezer. Inside the freezer (most of the time anyway), things are fine. Once you bring that tub outside of the freezer, you start getting little water droplets falling off the tub onto the counter tops. That's because the ice cream bucket is colder than ambient temperature.

    Good plan. 5.4GHz+ on the FX and 1300+ on the 7970's should do nicely, assuming you can squeeze that much out of everything. Let's see if we can get enough people and junk running to get 4th place!

    We need at least a 7970 x2 run (with AM3+ platform), or probably preferred a RX480, RX570, RX470, 290(x), depending on what cards anyone may have laying around crossfire run. Something strong dual GPU GDDR5 on AM3+, and AMD GPU's that's NOT RX 590's or RX 580's. /img/logo.png Overclocking, overclocking, and much more! Like overclocking. HWBOT.ORG HWBOT is a site dedicated to overclocking. We promote overclocking achievements and competitions for professionals as well as... Any takers? @Fluxmaven I don't know who else would have an AM3+ setup and GDDR5 AMD cards laying around. -_- I'd buy some RX 570's and run them myself, but I've already done the 580's. Somehow we went from 1st in that category down to third because we only have the 2 runs.
