actually i will likely go with the MSI version since it is significantly quieter while staying comparably coo land OCing very comparably a well

actually found another set of reviews comparing ASUS and EVGA and they seem to indicate ASUS performs no better than the reference card in terms of noise (better clock of course), whereas EVGA appears to be a higher OC AND quieter despite a whine they mention i really wish Tom's Hardware would...

this is a review i found that gave me pause otherwise i wanted to go for ASUS as well http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1188&page=6

thanks a lot, not to be rude, just curious -- are you basing that on your own experience (actual owner) or general perception?

This question is regarding the factory-OCed versions of the 780Ti. My main priorities are (in order): 1) keeping a quiet rig (i've an all-in-one loop -- h100i) and only SSDs with high-end 140mm fans spinning at around 950RPM in a noise-insulated cases, so the build is very quiet! 2) cool...

hope it comes out before year end!

I know this thread is quite old, but here are my 2c. In Haswell, you HAVE to make sure to set voltage (i'd do both core and uncore/cache) to manual override rather than adaptive. Adaptive CAN and WILL draw way more when certain instructions as requsted by the CPU which are specifically part of...

thanks very much!

What is the best thermal compound for H100i, price is not a factor (well, ok I guess under $50 :) ). Thanks!

Thanks a lot for all your help, appreciate it. You may be interested in this post btw which shows a very curious effect of improving your cooling (especially if you are doing a top exhaust) by turning the BACK fan from exhaust to intake. This supposedly significantly eases the job of the fans...

Oh so you also run as Top-Pull-Exhaust? that's cool! Thanks for the tips with the LEDs, my color scheme is turning out to be red/black but I'm trying to a void anything too flashy. Will definitely keep the LEDs in mind though, might resort to that! Abusing your expertise here, I've a few...

(1) I've already purchased the h100i so that ship has sailed :) Also not sure if it wasn't clear but i'm planning to run it in pull exhaust (to facilitate cleaning, i know it's not as effective), so the fans will above the rad pulling air up through it and out of the case; so I don't think...

Thanks a lot for the help. Three follow-up questions: 1) with the h100i I know the radiator takes 2x120mm but the top of the R4 actually accepts 2x140mm, is it possible somehow to use 140mm for better cooling? 2) since like the answer to (1) is no, i have to use 2x120mm, which specific Noctua...

Thanks DarkSable, ya I don't mean to be contrarian just for the sake of it! What is you recommendation specifically? I really do dislike the Noctua color scheme, so would you say the Corsair SP120 are fine? If I go that route i'm thinking of getting the Silent edition since the performance seems...

Thank you very much for reading. I got an h100i (mobo is Asus Hero) in a Define R4 and I would like to set the rad up on top with 2x120mm fans in pull exhaust. Do you have recommendations for what fans to get? Specifically since this is a pull exhaust, I am wondering if high static pressure...
