    [SOLVED] 2-pin temperature sensor to measure two points instead of one?

    hey, guys. I guess, it's pretty usual to have at least one temperature sensor pins on your motherboard. But what if I want to measure two points? Is there some sensor model that could tell a mobo a middle temperature between two points? Or, maybe, the hottest temperature out of two places? I'm...

    [SOLVED] SLI hot cards, one has hybrid cooling (H20). Which one on top?

    this makes sense, thanks for sharing the idea. all in all, I guess installing the hybrid cooling one on top will work best, so I agree with you guys.

    [SOLVED] SLI hot cards, one has hybrid cooling (H20). Which one on top?

    Hey, guys. Just got two 980 almost for free, so I'm planning to use them in SLI (even though it's not optimized, has bad scaling and so on, I know). The main question is: which one should be on top, if: One of them has hybrid cooling option and I have expendable H2o solution already, so it...

    Overclocking the old Intel I7 5820K to a safe level

    There're a lot of manuals overclocking Haswell-E's. I don't really get why I see a suggestion to setup 1.3v to get 4ghz, because 5820k can do 40x even without messing with voltage (sometimes). At least, 39x is more than possible. I found it handy to set it to 40x first and look at the...

    [SOLVED] 2011v3 – is it still okay for 2019?

    Thanks for your answer, but why 6850? It's roughly the same CPU that I have, a bit outdated too, the same number of cores, slightly faster maybe. It would require some time to resell my CPU and get the new one (even in used condition 6850 would cost twice more). I was thinking about 6950x at...

    [SOLVED] 2011v3 – is it still okay for 2019?

    Hey, there. How do you guys think, is it okay to continue to use 5820k with x99 system or should I ditch it for something else? Options: 1. Long live 5820k (overclocked, 4150mhz, the first two cores boost to 4450, 1.2v) 2. Sell CPU to get that top Broadwell-E 3. Switch the socket to something...
