ALPHA17 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) yes this is the with the stock cooler and the pc was running from morning like i was downloading games and all and played for while too(but not at the time when real temp was running) Keep Real Temp on, all the time, even while gaming. It will give a better idea of operational peak temperatures. Even then from what I can see the temperatures are good. Is there an A/C in the room? I have these and I am looking for a upgrade in december , hoping for rupee to calm down by then.PSU andd HDD and rest other small things i am looking to keep.SO i want to ask , how much these will sell for and what is the next best upgrade for me? Depending on how well you have maintained the system, you can expect a third of the price of all your components. Except the RAM, you can mark it a little higher due to the volatility of the same in the market. About the system, it is best if you hold onto the GTX580 for now and snap up a Haswell Core i7 package (we can discuss modalities then). The Cooler Master 690 is a good cabinet, maybe you can add a couple of fans to improve the airflow. How old is the TAGAN SMPS, any warranty on it? Willing to ship or no? 80+ efficiency certification, if yes of what standards? At best ~3000/- -->4000/- is the best you will get for the same. Hope this helps, Cheerio!

Okay, in that case, take temperatures for the whole day with A/C off and another day sampler with the A/C on. That should give us the best and worst that is possible with stock in Delhi's case at-least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system is preety well maintained, it is four years old now , with some components being new ( which you can guess). There is no warranty on tagan SMPS , i swapped it for corsair when i got gtx 580 ( 1 to 1.5 years back), currently it is being used by my friend in his system(fx 6100,6950,8gb ram). Willing to sell it for less then 1000rs even. If haswell arrives in december then well and good , i can only wait one or two months more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmage Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 Considering the dollar price and the next gen price, i might consider switching to the pc master race. Whats a ball park price for a rig to last me three years to play games at medium setting after 3 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Sire, whether you components are in mint condition the market is not bothered so the prevalent price for your hardware is what you will get.

Willing to sell it for less then 1000rs even. Better to hold onto it then, just as a standby in-case of your primary SMPS leaving you in the lurch. If haswell arrives in december then well and good , i can only wait one or two months more It is already out but early bird prices and $ appreciation are not really conducive to a purchase. Also, AMD would have new cards out by November tops now so you can check their performance and make your purchase. Considering the dollar price and the next gen price, i might consider switching to the pc master race. Whats a ball park price for a rig to last me three years to play games at medium setting after 3 years? ~40,000/- --> 80,000/- (dependent on when you purchase, where you stay and where you source the components from, finally what all do you want to purchase). And please no PC master race BS on this thread, please, I don't care which side of the field you are migrating from but no there is no PC master race here. It is just a PC Gamer / Enthusiast / aficionado. Take your pick aren't haswell processors out already ? Out but prices are a killing.

Hasewell-E processors which support ddr4 , i was talking about those. should have mentioned it earlier, apologies. Yeah i am waiting for AMD and nvidia new products till end of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are not out yet and I am not really sure if they will be worth the extra money you spend on them at a later date. Yeah i am waiting for AMD and nvidia new products till end of the year nVidia is done for the year, AMD plans a soft-launch end of September and by November cards should hit market(s) in force.

Ph3N0M Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think there was a case airflow/cooling thread somewhere in the TechZone, can someone please link me to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ph3N0M Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 PC Cooling thread. Thanks Alpha. I was playing Hitman Absolution today, when my 7950 crossfire setup reached insane temperatures: the top card reaching 90C and the bottom one at 80C(GPU load on both the cards was about 72% each). There was a faint smell like that of the soldering iron, panicked by which, I closed the game. It's not that this is a new occurrence, as I simply haven't used my rig to play very graphics intensive games after getting the new PSU and crossfire, and so it never got a chance to reach that stage before. What should I do now? (1) Install some more fans, with a proper planning, considering the airflow around the GPUs? (2) Underclock the GPUs to generate less heat? (3) Re-apply thermal paste on GPUs (4) Something else? I'll post a pic of my interiors in that cooling thread next week to arrive at a good airflow strategy for my needs. BTW, why is there such a big difference in price between 120mm and 140mm fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that this is a new occurrence, as I simply haven't used my rig to play very graphics intensive games after getting the new PSU and crossfire, and so it never got a chance to reach that stage before. What SMPS are you on now? That is alarming to hear, first of all, update your drivers to the latest 13.8 BETA. It should improve the CrossFire performance. From your current description for now I will cater to the issue as if the heat is not getting vented fast enough. (1) Install some more fans, with a proper planning, considering the airflow around the GPUs? (2) Underclock the GPUs to generate less heat? (3) Re-apply thermal paste on GPUs (4) Something else? You can add a couple fans to blow air onto the cards or add fans to vent heat faster. Not really an option, the two cards are in such proximity that unless the dead-heat in that region is not expelled you won't be able to solve the problem. You can try that but I must warn you that this straight up voids all warranty on the cards, so consider this only after due deliberation. There are no other options save adding water cooling blocks onto your cards but that means substantial investment in importing the components. I'll post a pic of my interiors in that cooling thread next week to arrive at a good airflow strategy for my needs. BTW, why is there such a big difference in price between 120mm and 140mm fans? That will be really helpful. No clue mate, honestly I don't see a lot of people buying the third-party fans so it might be because of that.

Ph3N0M Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) I'm on 13.4. Will update to 13.8 Beta, and will also try some other games. But I guess the games themselves don't matter, right? As long as the GPUs are stressed to the same 72% mark by anything the temperature will always go to what it went during Absolution, right? EDIT: The new PSU is Corsair TX850M. Edited September 1, 2013 by Ph3N0M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPHA17 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 ^^ No the games themselves don't matter, if the GPU's reach the load limit you will see the temperatures sky-rocket on its own volition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 What should i get,a gaming pc with gtx 760 or ps4:/ ?? I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Simple answer: PC. _ Play Station 4 exclusives are weak. DC Universe Online/War Thunder/Blacklight Retribution/Warframe/PlanetSide 2 are F2P on PC and available for months now. Killzone: Shadow Fall and Knack will be available on launch and it's not really a reason to buy PS4. Future 2014: The Order: 1886/inFamous Second Son...that's it for now.
