Re:560GTX Twin frozr II-What does MSI mean when they say 20% cooler?

Surely it can't mean that literally? I'm currently running FEAR3 at 80c with this card, does this mean i'm really at 100c if i use another 560GTX that's not twin frozr II? or if i'm running Black Ops at 64c now, does this really mean its 80c? Pls explain the parameters of this feature bec. when i saw my temps in FEAR3 i suddenly wondered what that claim was all about. My old GTX275 had almost same temps so what's with the new twin frozr II? Pls don't suggest an RMA bec the card ain't broke. it idles at 37-38c that means the cooling mechanism works its when it loads heavy games that it acts up.

Disconnect the front 120mm and the bottom 80mm. Only leave your extraction fans and the side fan on and retest.This way the extraction fans will pull in the air and you may have a more "smoothed" flow of air.
With an ambient temp of ~29C your load temps with the side panel open are actually excellent, as the temp increase is only about 30C.
It most certainly looks like an airflow shortage for the GPU with your side panel on.
I for one like the cases with fully meshed side panels for that reason. Good example http://www.aerocool.us/pgs/pgs-b/bx500.htm
Ok i did what you suggested and while the peak temp in the Witcher 2 was 75c it didn't stay there too long, it settled at around 67c-68c and note this is with the computer case closed. i didn't bother test it w/ an open case bec. i know the peak won't even touch 71c i'm sure. My conclusion therefore is even w/ a closed case, the temps are nothing to worry about, is this a safe assumption now that we've tested this card w/ 3 different top games, Witcher 2, Bad Company 2 and Black Ops?

  • Angel Season 5 -- what does it mean when it says "repackage"?

    For some reason there are two versions of Angel Season 5 listed and only one of them is on sale.  The one that is on sale says "repackage" in the product title and I was wondering if that meant that it was used, or if maybe it just meant different packaging.  So, what does it mean when it says "repackage"?
    This is the page I was looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8014631&productCategoryId=cat02564&type=product&id=1568268
    Thanks!
    Heather

    Hey Heather -
    The only difference in those two skus is the actual packaging.  One is a thicker package (older one) and one is a thinner packaging (newer one).  You should be able to receive the sale price on either. 
    I hope this helps!

  • What does it mean when it says to eject before disconnecting Ipod?

    What does it mean when it says to eject before disconnecting Ipod?

    When you press the eject button, iTunes checks to make sure if it has finished using the iPod. When it has finished (and if no other programme is using your iPod, such as anti-virus programmes) iTunes will confirm to you that it is then safe to disconnect the iPod (unplug the cable).
    If you unplug an iPod from your computer while iTunes or any other prgramme is using the iPod, it will probably corrupt the files and you may be unable to use some or all songs until you Restore the iPod.

  • In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?

    In iBooks,what does it mean when it says: you have already purchased this item. To download it check available downloads in the store menu?

    Apologies if I seem rude but isn't it obvious?
    you have already purchased this item means you have already purchased this item - you don't need to buy it, you've already bought it.
    To download it check available downloads in the store menu means to download it check available downloads in the store menu. So if you look at your top menu bar (in your iTunes programme) select the Store and from the menu that appears, select Check for available downloads. My guess (and I realise I'm risking my reputation here ) is that when you click on that, you will see a list of the items you've bought which will include anything you haven't yet downloaded to your iTunes. I assume there will be an option with that list to download those items.
    I would like to thank the person who thought of the idea of taking different words and putting them in a certain order, so that those words form a sentence, and that sentence can then be read by other people and those people understand. Genius!

    what does it mean when it says "ipad has lost it's pairing"

    If you are getting that message when you try to sync your iPad, eject the iPad, quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and then try to sync again.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, just try using a different USB port.

      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.

  • What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    What does it mean when it says there is a problem with the sim card?

    Exactly that, there is a problem with the sim card.
    The sim card is the little chip that links your iPad to the cellular providers network to get internet anywhere.
    It may have moved in the tray and lost contact, it may have an actual issue, or it may be deactivated by your cellular service provider.
    Contact them to have them look at it or your service and see if there is anything wrong with it.

  • HT4101 What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power?

    What does it mean when it says that the USB device requires too much power, when using the ipad lightening pin camera connection kit?

    Just that. The iPad allocates a certain amount of power to that port. If the device you're trying to plug in wants more than the iPad is willing to give, it'll trigger that warning.
    If it's something that you just must hook up you can try using a powered USB hub, but results are mixed at best.
    What are you trying to hook to your iPad?
