Re: Dedicated rig High end GPU Low end CPU?

Actually, I clicked on "Purchase" now. Using stock cooler for CPU. So this is what I ordered. With shipping it came down to 1174USD, but would probably cost 1000 in the US: I kept the SSD, but could of gone for a Ubuntu on USB solution. I just could´t find any good threads on performance a...

Re: Dedicated rig High end GPU Low end CPU?

Adding a second GPU later is not something I am considering, I would rather fit two at once then. Singe GPU, mITX and miniscule box is the recipie. Exhausting the GPU in the front is a good practise since the case does not hold a dust filter from what I can see. If the front would of had a filter, I...

Re: Dedicated rig High end GPU Low end CPU?

http://forumbilder.se/F8JI1/screenshot-2016-01-08-19-21-10.png Here is the current list. Notice the insanely small case, short PSU, extra low memory banks, but two water radiators to fit and a Fury X, not the Nano. The challenge is what drives me here. Going to put the GPU control the fan on the ou...

Re: Dedicated rig High end GPU Low end CPU?

My plan was to only go for GPU which gives higher efficiency, so its nice to hear I can go really cheap on the CPU. The watercooler fan of the Fury is still a fan, but it can work at lower rpm, compared to the 980t-i ref fan. The 980ti hybrid adds a watercooler but keeps the onboard fan for dc/dc an...

Re: Dedicated rig High end GPU Low end CPU?

The EVGA GTX 980Ti hybrid looks pretty good, It costs 120 bucks more, but will give more performance and draw less energy I guess. The fan for the memory and dc/dc should be quite silent. But sadly I don´t seem to be able to save any money on i3 or any other Intel, they seem quite pricey here. AMD s...

Re: Dedicated rig High end GPU Low end CPU?

Thank you for the answers!

But if I throw in that I want it to be small and silent?
The watercooling of the Fury really appeal to me.
A 970 running full throttle FAH surely must use the fan alot.

Re: Is my GPU working correctly

Are the slots manually configured or set to -1? Is the slider set to anything else than Full?
In "auto" config the medium setting makes FAH wait for he GPU to be fully idle to use it.

Re: Question about GPU usage

Using the slider and auto (-1), setting it to medium, makes the GPU fold only when idling. Correct?
