2 slot gpu cooler recommendation?

zhinsara — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 19:23:08 +0800

Hi all,

Have a GTX560ti from Leadtek. I found I was having problems with temps (load 100c easily even though the heatsink was clean), so I decided to take it off for new thermal paste.

Lo and behold the copper plate on the bottom is completely scratched up (see pic), and this is the first time I've opened it. I realistically have two options. 1) Lap the surface. 2) Get a new cooler.

If a new cooler, it has to fit within 2 slots because I am using a Elite 130 ITX case. Any suggestions?

~RM1500 CPU, GPU, RAM, Mobo

zhinsara — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:13:13 +0800

Hi all, have not been here in a while. Anyway BF3 has given me a severe itch to upgrade, and I have about RM1500 to spare.

Here's what I have mapped out.

i3-2100
8GB DDR3-1333
Mobo (?????), mATX only.
Geforce 560Ti (RM740)

i3-2100 cause it decimates AMD,
8GB of RAM because you can never have enough (and I need it)
GeForce 560Ti because if a 7850 comes out, its about the same price and performance, so might as well buy now. Also, seems to be hard to locate 6950 boards right now.

So my problem lies with the mobo. I cannot seem to locate a decently specc'd H61 board, but H67 seems to have lost availability for mATX size. I will be throwing in an SSD somewhere down the line.

Please help me out with the recommendation here, I'm a bit pening looking for boards ATM. I got budget about RM300.

Have you watched My Little Pony (the 2010 one)?

Confound those ponies! I finally gave in after all that buzz on the internets. Its actually not bad.

Need Help - Forensic Psy Degree

zhinsara — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:05:07 +0800

I wanted to know if anyone is currently pursuing or had taken this subject before. I am very interested in it and I am torn between either taking up Law or Forensic Psychology. Common studies in Forensic Psychology would be:

1. Sex Offenders and Victims
2. The Child as Offender
3. Intellectually Disabled Offenders
4. The Expert in Court: Ethics & Practice

I have heard all I need to know about Law but I never hear anything or know anyone who studied or know about this programme. Hope someone here can help me out. Thanks!

new Intel branding: i3, i5, i7

Intel explains future Core i7, i5, i3 branding

Intel explains future Core i7, i5, i3 branding

Future Intel CPUs will be broadly named over the Core brand, with i3, i5 and i7 "modifiers" depending on performance and features.
Intel has spilled the beans on its future CPU naming, claiming to have acted in an effort to simplify things, but in effect, quite the opposite has happened for us home builders.

The Core 2 Duo and Quad brands will vanish and will be replaced modified progressively after Lynnfield arrives with Core i3, i5 and i7 monikers. That's not to say Lynnfield equals Core i5 though.

Instead, Lynnfield will span Core i5 and Core i7 brands and the choice of brand will vary between features (like HyperThreading) and processor performance.

Intel spins its Core marketing modifier as:

"For example, upcoming processors such as Lynnfield (desktop) will carry the Intel Core brand, but will be available as either Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 depending upon the feature set and capability. Clarksfield (mobile) will have the Intel Core i7 name."

That's great for the mass market of users who simply buy whole PC and never open the case: seeing the i3, i5, i7 split should make the performance jumps more transparent as these consumers don't care what socket or memory architecture goes inside. However, for us home builders knowing that you're buying a "Core i7" on LGA1156 or LGA1366 is a big deal, since they are obviously not socket compatible.

"So the key here is there will be a range of features and capabilities within the Intel Core family - our flagship brand representing the highest performance and the latest technology - but simplified into entry-level (Intel Core i3), mid-level (Intel Core i5), and high-level (Intel Core i7)."

What isn't specified are the "features": does this mean HyperThreading, memory channels (two or three) or other components like graphics-on-CPU or even fundamentals like Virtualization?

Intel will continue to use the Atom, Celeron and Pentium brands at the low end in addition to the new three, although with LGA775 Celeron and Pentium CPUs will be phased out within six to 12 months. With regards to notebooks, the Core modifier will also permeate here too and after many years of success, the Centrino branding is finally being retired to cover its WiFi and WIMAX products only.

So, there we are, Lynnfield will fit under the Core i5 brand... and also i7. And although not expressly stated, we expect the Core 2 product line to be remodified to be Core i3, with the refreshed G45 G41 and P43 chipsets. Wonderful.

Sauce: Bit-tech
Its all over the webs now -.-

Well, all i can say is good grief. All those who got i7 already are going to run into some upgrade issues and laptops with "slow" i7's? lolwut Intel.

Proc glued to heatsink by thermal paste.

zhinsara — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:07:11 +0800

hey guys. i just took apart my desktop for cleaning and guess what. I tried taking the heatsink off the cpu and the cpu came off with the heatsink! what do i do now? is there the chance that my mobo and proc are damaged?

the heatsink seems to be glued tight to the proc btw.
