Anyone use Aftermarket Cooling Solutions on 270x or 280x?

Anyone who uses an aftermarket cooler on a 270x or 280x MSI Gaming gpu please chime in.
What make and model cooler are you using? What is the model and revision of your gpu? I am seeking coolers for both my 270x's and 280x's as the stock fans are of poor quality and have a high failure rate. 3 out of 4 of my cards have fan issues.
This is not such a simple thing to just google of course. 
Those of us who know anything about aftermarket cooling know that not every GPU is made the same. Even different revisions of the same model can be drastically different when it comes to compatibility for aftermarket cooling solutions. A simple change on the gpu could mean one revision works and the next does not. I've run into this before with another brands gpu and aftermarket cooling.
Asking MSI Tech Support to recommend aftermarket cooling is not going to get any results as they will not assist a user in a process that may void warranty. Nor does MSI test their cards with other manufacturers cooling solutions.
 That being said I am asking users what solutions they may have found already.
I have also contacted several aftermarket cooling manufacturers and they all say the same thing. Basically: "We can't confirm or deny compatibility as we cannot test every make/model/revision".
So MSI fans and devoted users. What have you been using?
Thanks much!

The Arctic Mono Plus officially supports R9 270X and should also fit the MSI cards. It's plenty cooling for those cards. Alternatively Accelero Twin Turbo II could be used.
280X would work fine with Accelero Xtreme III or Alpenfoehn Peter

  • Has anyone used this cool WebCam with a Mac yet?

    i'm in the market for a webcam for my new mac pro. i'm looking for the very best one out there. i ran into this WebCam called "aGent V4 HD". It looks awesome! Its a 3MP HD WebCam that comes with a desk mount and LCD mount. But its sold out of Australia. I was wondering if anyone has used it with osx 10.5.6.
    here's a link:
    http://agent.liquiddigital.com.au/index.htm

    I've just taken delivery of one of these and have to say that, a few glitches aside, I'm pretty impressed. It looks quite sexy and gives a great quality picture that has been commented on by all Skype correspondents who hitherto were used to my looking like a bowl of porridge.
    It comes with 3 useful mounting devices including a great grappling hook looking thing which will hang on top of my 30" cinema display but I actually prefer to have it on the floor stand at head height otherwise the angle is a bit high from all the way up there.
    The only disappointment for me is that I cannot seem to get the internal mic working. Fortunately it does come with a clip on mic which does work when plugged in via the USB gizmo but the built in cam mic just won't play for me.
    I wonder if I'm missing something because I have an older webcam with a built in mic which again I have never had any joy with.
    Any useful suggestions in this point gratefully received!

  • Anyone using a Labview solution to perform SDLC communications?

    Need to take data from a variety of test equipment that are putting out a simplified form of the IBM Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) message structure. The device will basically be in "broadcast" mode with address and control data absent from the message structure. Data rate is low (at 400Hz), but clock bit rate is high and will need to be programmable (1.0152 MHz). Any help or suggestions for using 3rd party hardware such as FastCom, SeaLevel with Labview, or even better, a NI hardware solution would be greatly appreciated.

    Pethel;
    I'm not familiar with that protocol in particular, but if the data signal is TTL type, you can probably use the PCI-6534 board; which can go up to 80M Bytes/sec; and program in Software the details of the protocol.
    Visit www.ni.com to get more details about that board.
    Hope this helps.

  • Has anyone used the Black-Magic Design Multi Bridge?

    Currently I have a Black Magic Multi Bridge Extreme. It works, but there seems to be an issue with a very (hot) running unit. The fan is running (very loud I might add), and does seem to cool down the unit, just a bit. If there is anyone using this or simular unit, could you provide some feed back. Thanks

    I do have an issue when I turn on the TV and wake the Mini from sleep... the screen stays really dim. Not sure if it's the Mini or the TV that's the issue. After the Mini is fully on... a power cycle of the TV seems to bring everything back to normal.
    Brett, I have the same problem when I bring the mac out of sleep mode. Have you managed to find out why we have to switch the TV Off then On again to get the picture? Or another solution? Very annoying when you have 1000's $ worth of equipment but the solution is still "Have you tried switching it Off and On again" (All due respects to the "IT CROWD").

  • Quiet cooling solutions on MSI's new RADEON X and GeForce 6 series VGA cards? Which is quietest?

    Hi.
    I am, like many people are at the moment I'd imagine, trying to find the ideal graphics solution for running Doom 3. Say what you will about it, but I've played it, and I for one want to get my hands on it in a bad way.
    The problem is that my PC doubles as a crude workstation for digital recording, and my condensor mics tend to pick up even very faint sounds. My current system configuration is: P4 C 3.2GHz, ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe mobo, 1GB DDR400 in dual channel, WD 3.6GB Raptor SATA HDD for OS and apps, and two 120GB Maxtor drives in RAID 1 for audio data storage, and the weak link as I call it, my gaming-inept Matrox Millenium 64MB. (Great for work...terrible for games, as expected). All this is running in the Antec Sonata case, and boy is it ever silent. I have to turn off my supposedly silent air filtration system across the room just to hear the PSU fan lol. It's been very good to me.
    Doom 3 is the only game I intend to run on this system, simply because, call me crazy, but I am an old school Doom level editing addict, and I actualy like the tight narrow repetitive cooridor style gameplay it lets me enjoy. Furthermore, using editors feels alot like tinkering with my audio software, a feeling I very much savor.
    I was going to go for a HIS Excalibur X800 IceQ II because they are supposedly extremely quiet, but darned if I can find one for sale anywhere on the planet. Lol.
    So, I have decided to turn to MSI, who have never let me down with respect to near-silence in the past with their VGA cooling solutions.
    So my questions are:
    1) The NX6800 128MB (non-ultra, non-GT variety) is very quiet from what I hear, when the fan is set to the (default) lowest setting. Does the NX6800GT or Ultra feature the same cooling solution, and is it just as quiet, nearly as quiet, or noticeably louder than the plain variety?
    and
    2) I have heard in general that the new RADEON cards are much quieter than the GeForce 6 series cards. Does this hold true for MSI's X800 cards as well, and is the RX800 XT as quiet or quieter than the NX6800 or NX6800GT, etc. ?
    Note that I care more about silence than performance. I would be perfectly happy running Doom 3 at 1024x768 at medium or even low settings, as long as I can keep the framerate smooth. I'm not very picky.
    I would be truly grateful for anyone's assistance in this matter. Thanks very much in advance.

    Thanks for the reply and the info.
    Yes, they do run much quieter in 2D. But are there any decible readings anywhere on the net for the stock X800 PRO cooler (in 2d or otherwise)? I ask this because, let's face it, most reviewers tend to focus on the performance rather than the decible levels (as long as the noise level is tollerable to them, they usualy give scores without going into much detail about how loud or silent something is), and being quieter than the competing products doesn't neccesarily mean it's truly quiet.
    Basicaly, by quiet, I mean so quiet that it would be hard to hear it unless I get closer than two feet to the tower, and even then, rather faint or even inaudible unless I actualy put my ear up to the tower. My mics are that sensitive. Is the X800 Pro that quiet with the stock reference cooler? I'm thinking it probably isn't, but I could be wrong. The Toxic Pro of course is more than quiet enough, but I have some concerns there.
    I would prefer the X800 XT or, at the very least, the plain 6800 128MB, as they both (even the 128MB normal 6800) score higher consistently in Doom 3 benchmarks than the normal X800 Pro (not overclocked). While I'd prefer a 256MB card over a 128MB one, and Sapphire using the VGA Silencer on their Toxic Pro is a nice touch, that card overclocks the memory freq, which is a no-no with Doom 3 from what I've heard. Doom 3 doesn't like overclocked cards, as John carmack said, and that seems to be true given that I've heard lots of people complaining of artifacts with even moderately overclocked cards, be it the memory or core frequency. I could, of course, just not use the "A.P.E." functionality, and run it at stock X800 Pro speed, and with the silence on the Toxic Pro it would be great...but then why not just get the higher performing 128MB 6800 for roughly the same price or less?
    See my dilema? Lol.
    Idealy, I'm hoping MSI's X800 XT or their GT or Ultra versions of the 6800 will have quiet cooling solutions. If they do, then it would save me alot of work making up my mind. No overclocking, guaranteed stability, total (or near total) silence, and guaranteed to handle Doom 3 (atleast fairly well... like I said, I'm not too picky), and I wouldn't feel short changed on performance either. As it stands now though, unless I can confirm whether or not they do, I'm going to have to settle for their standard (but extremely quiet) 6800 128MB.
    Any further thoughts (anyone?) given the above considerations? Thanks again. I really appreciate it. Good idea on the Toxic Pro, just perhaps not ideal for my situation.

  • Anyone using asus silent knight II on msi DKA 790GX platinum?

    hihi..
    anyone using asus silent knight II on msi DKA 790GX platinum?
    anyway to orient the air flow to horizontal setting. cos right now my cpu cooler was shooting up warm air to my power supply.
    thanks

    Quote from: nel_hawk on 22-May-09, 08:23:49
    Oh I see.. now then know that it's ATX standard. thanks.
    then how about the rear fan, is it functioning the same as PSU fan?
    or is the rear fan's function is to suck out the whole system's warm air?
    It's to help getting hot air out, but that is added by case builders.
    Here you have the original specs: http://www.formfactors.org/developer%5Cspecs%5Catx2_2.pdf
    Case builders added extra fans because ATX standards aren't good enough for high-end systems.
    However, ATX is designed to let the PSU suck out the hotair...
    Anything you add to it makes it all cooler and doesn't hurt.
    You should know that AMD CPU's do not get very hot at all, it's the Intels that do, especial the Pentium4, so case builders created all sorts of solutions to cool them down as ATX wasn't sufficient for the P4.
    Even Intel made a new spec BTX, but that wasn't accepted by builders.

  • In need of an effective cooling solution

    I'm in search of a highly effective cooling solution for a MacBook Air.
    I have an 11" Air with an i7 processor which I use with a Thunderbolt display. I use this setup all day long as a primary computer, and it is hot almost all the time. I don't generally have a problem when I'm using the Air stand-alone, but as soon as I plug in the Thunderbolt, it heats up a lot. Right now the CPU temperature is around 70 degrees C, even though CPU activity is under 5%.
    I'm using a bamboo cooling stand I got from MacAlly (ECOFANPRO) which lowers the temperature only a very small amount, not enough to keep the fan from going full blast.
    I want something that will actually cool the computer down to where the internal fan doesn't have to run like this all day.
    I've heard that cooling pads are effective for a few hours but I need something that works all day. I don't care what it costs.
    I see tons and tons of cooling stands out there that are billed as "stylish" or "quiet" but I can't find a single example of either a manufacturer or a reviewer describing how effective their product is in terms of reducing heat. So it seems like all I can do here is guess.
    Frank

    Use a script such as:
    tell application "Finder"
    repeat with this_file in (get files of window 1)
    make new folder at window 1 with properties {name:items 1 thru -5 of (get name of this_file) as string}
    move this_file to the result
    end repeat
    end tell
    when the 74 movies and no other files are in the frontmost Finder window. If the files aren't showing their extension, replace -5 with -1.

    Hi, oldcrow13.
    Thank you for the response.  Typically this error is caused by installing an older verison of iTunes than you had prior.  When you installed iTunes did you download the program directly from iTunes.com, or did you use an older copy of the program on your computer?  If you used an older version or are unsure, uninstall all the components one more time and download a new copy of iTunes via the link below.

  • Has anyone used the appscript modual for python rather than streight AS?

    I just discovered appscript and so far I like what I see. has anyone used it?
    Does it just wrap around actual applescript commands which it then sends to osascript with a system call or does it use the message system directly? Is there anything that it has not yet implemented that might cause problems?
    To me it seems to be a perfect solution to the clutter that AS seems to be... at least from someone coming from more traditional languages.

    In startMovie, you need to register the xtra
    on startMovie
    axRegister(serial code here)
    end
    Then, on your Record Button, something like this:
    on mouseUp me
    --start recording session - using 400k as maximum here
    errOpen=axOpenRecorder(400000)
    --see if there is an error
    put errOpen
    --save the new audio as a file
    errRecord=axRecordSoundToFile("soundName","c:\path\to\soundfile.wav")
    --see if there is an error
    put errRecord
    end
    then make sure you close the recorder in stopMovie
    on stopMovie
    axCloseRecorder()
    end
    You can also make a Stop Recording button that has code like
    this:
    on mouseUp me
    errStop=axStopRecording()
    put errStop
    end

  • Anyone using Tascam DM-3200 with Logic

    Anyone using the Tascam DM-3200 with Logic? Sure seems like an easy solution combination of converters and DAW control, plus onboard effects.

    Hey Joseph,
    I have this combination. I like it so far. I'm not really a "mixer" person but I am resolute in learning how to use this thing in depth!
    Anyways, as far as controlling Logic, I got it working pretty easily. It seems that the faders don't seem as "sensitive" as my Logic Control (I think I mean resolution, perhaps?). I also have not played with the Tascam enough to know what other features are mapped out besides just level faders. It is very easy to switch between a fader layer and the Mackie control layer: just one button press. One thing though is if I have logic set to auto-sync in, and play, it will receive some timecode from somewhere and then stop after 2 bars. Don't know why this is, and it means I'll have to disable the Tascam's midi if I want to sync Logic to, say, Protools.
    I connect my old 828 via Adat to Tascam and it sounds so much better than the Analog ins to the Tascam, so I'm happy about that. I have also the 8 Analog input card so I have a total of 24 Analog Ins which is nice too.
    If you have any specific questions, I'll try to asnwer them, but so far, i like the combination a lot. My one complaint - they put the Control Room volume way up at the top of the mixer. My keyboard (Roland XV88) protrudes a bit from the front of the mixer, so i can see myself getting back spasms if I reach that volume control a lot!! I guess I'm shorter than the average user! Anyways, the mixer sounds good enogh to my ears.
    Cheers
    Ken
    PS The manuals for the mixer are at Tascam's website. You can also take a peek at them to get a sense how things are setup.

  • Discussion Forum Portlets - Anyone using in Production?

    This is a followup to another post.
    Is anyone using the sample Discussion Forum and Discussion Forum Admin portlets provided in WebLogic Portal 8.1 in a production environment? I've already received feedback from one person who had difficulties and decided not to use them, but I wanted to know if there were any success stories.

    Bryan,
    <p>I also put a lot of weight in Tom’s posts; I am however convinced that contacting Oracle Support is a better solution for direct, bug related questions. I do, for example not doubt that his human tasks did not work when put in parallel flows. There might be workarounds, such as putting the human workflow stuff in a separate service, but to me sounds like a bug and bugs should be reported, analyzed, and fixed.</p>
    <p>As you can see from my profile, I do not live in Poland so I do not know about the training situation there, but I have, personally, delivered five SOA Suite classes so far during 2007 and I know that I am not the only one running SOA training in Sweden. I might be wrong, but based on my own experience, I have assumed that the lack of training that Tom is experiencing is due to communication problems, and that contacting Oracle Education would sort things out. (Training in Europe tends to be given in the local language. A quick look at the web shows that the next 5 day SOA Suite training in Poland seems to be scheduled for November 19th.)</p>
    <p>On the topic of frequent changes in interfaces as mentioned above, I agree that an update of the table structure in a database must never cause business process updates. If that is the case, the architecture most likely suffers from tight coupling. I never recommend anyone to use adapters direct from BPEL try to but use (coarse gained) services published on the service bus as much as possible to avoid such problems. For an introduction to SOA best practices see (for example) Dave Schaffer’s 7 Steps to SOA in SOA World Magazine.</p>
    <p>I am sorry if you feel that my posts are not providing the level of support you where hoping to find. Perhaps it is our expectations community/forums vs official product support that differs. Regarding whether Oracle has figured it out or not, you do not have to trust me – take a look at what InfoWorld or Forrester are saying.</p>

  • Has anyone used a USB device server with a DAQmx or NI-VISA USB device?
