Q's about 4770 and 4670
Which card uses more power? Which card runs hotter? I'm thinking of upgrading from my 4670 to a 4770 and putting my 4670's passive heatsink on it, but I don't know if the 4770 puts out too much heat for it to handle. Also, I'm curious (since the 4770 has the PCI Express power connector) if the 4770 ...

I have a Sapphire 4670, it has a built on passive heatsink, so I don't have an accelero. And you really can't run this thing completely passive unless you are fine with like really high temps like 60-70c+ at idle. Gaming it goes up. With an accelero it probably would be cooler temps...but without so...

OK, so my PCI Express 16x 1.0 slot isn't hindering my performance? That's good to know. I've been considering upgrading to a 4770...but what about a faster CPU/motherboard/RAM combo? My friend has a 4650 but a much faster HP system and his framerates are much higher than mine...so I think some of th...

I'm concerned about how close the northbridge is to the RAM slots. I'm thinking that the thermalright might get in the way of one (or both) of my RAM sticks...I don't want to run at 2GB or 0GB of RAM...I like my 4GB set up I have right now...I don't want to have to change that... Can you guys pictur...

OK, so it's down to the Xigmatek and the Thermalright. The Xigmatek only has 1 model, so that's easy, but Thermalright has 4, http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/product_page/product_chipset_cooler.html Which ones will fit my motherboard? Also I have an Arctic Cooling 64 Freezer Pro heatsink, so ...

There actually is a program that can do exactly what you want, stop and start your disc drive from spinning on command. It was intended for video game backing up (not going to get into it now long explanation of why it is needed and crap) but it's called wxStop and it is on gael360.free.fr check it ...

You got that right, working with heatsinks, taking them on and off is a pain, but looking at the program (SpeedFan for me) and seeing those lower temps (even if it is by just 1 degrees) just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (Funny, because the feeling inside of your is the inverse temperatu...

Get a new power supply? Other than that, replacing a fan isn't hard, as for the 4 wires...eh...if you had a multimeter you could determine why they are, but if not just cut all of those wires and you can wire the nexus up right to 12v somewhere...forget the stock 4 wires. As for your second fan...eh...
