I got a problem. I tried to fix my sound card in the 3rd PCIe slot and my GC in the 1st PCIe slot but then my display went wrong. I can't set it to High resolution anymore. (I think the bandwidth become 8x)

I remove my sound card from the 3rd PCIe slot - Display became normal.

This mean I can't fix 2 cards in different PCIe slot if I'm not doing CF.

Is there any way, I can use both PCIe for different purpose?

By the way, my mobo is DFI DK, Thanks~

1. You can check the bandwidth using softwares like GPU-Z
2. This looks to be a motherboard specific problems. PCI-E 1x, 4x, 9x, 11x or whatever "x" will work on PCI-E slots as they are using the same interface
3. I have my 5870 on the 3rd PCI- E slot and sound card on 2nd PCI-E slot and it works fine, no problems. Even my R2E didn't gave me problems moving the PCI-E sound cards to different slots

Going to overclock my 930 soon. Thinking of the following combination for watercooling:

EK Supreme HF
XSPC RX 240 (my current case is CM690)
Laing D5

Don't think I'm buying reservoir. Budget kinda tight. Is the reservoir needed? Won't be cooling gpu yet, so this will just be the loop.

What you guys think?

It's best to have a reservoir but of course there are always smart people that tries to do wonders smile.gif Humans can live with one kidney as well but I'm sure you know it's not optimal.

i dont really see much different between stock speed and OC..

i running 3d mark vantage, at stock it give 21000 mark for cpu

when oc to 4ghz it give 3000 extra more. more heat, more power jz for 3000 mark.

One easy real life test you can do is by installing Windows smile.gif You can try installing Windows with your stock i7 CPU speed versus an overclocked speed. I'm pretty sure you can then tell the difference.

Can I bring my i7 920 over to your house and let you clock to things like 4.6GHz? Lol.. Even with CM212+, anything above 4GHz is too hot to handle.

Maybe you can get a better HSF from Thermalright or Prolimatech? That should work a bit better but it'll still be around the 80C I believe biggrin.gif

Perhaps we can also explore the good old phase change cooling biggrin.gif If I can get something working, I'd like to have it for my PC laugh.gif That would squeeze another few hundred Mhz more I think?
