Definitely better than air. GPU dies have more surface area than CPU dies, so they benefit from liquid cooling a lot more. I'm sure the all-in-one they're putting on these cards won't be all that great, but it doesn't take much. I'm guessing with the lithography shrink and increase in GCN cores, their traditional reference cooler design isn't sufficient anymore.

How often do you guys clean the dust out your pc?
Posted on 3/15/15 at 3:21 pm to Mr Gardoki
I try to clean my filters weekly, but sometimes forget. The interior only gets fine dust particles that I don't worry about more often than once a year maybe, or next time I upgrade something. I might blow compressed air through my radiators every six months.

Do you just take the filters out and blow air through them?

I have one of these:
Dyson handvac. I just run it over the top of my case (which has filtered intake from my 6 push/pull rad fans) and then pull out and vacuum the screens from the front and bottom sides. It's about a 2-minute task.

I had to take off my top screen because the cooler blows up and was trapping dust in.

I'm like you. It takes 5 minutes but I still never do it. I've had an extra hdd for almost a year and still haven't installed it.

Lots of 390x rumors...

The more interesting update given in the leak is that AMD might indeed be shifting to 8 GigaBytes of HBM implementation which means they will be able to equip 8 Gb capacity per DRAM die and up to 2 GBps speed per stack layering in the future in addition to 4 GB HBM variants which will feature 640 GB/s.
quote:BOOOOOOOOOOO
The website says that the Radeon R9 390X and Radeon R9 390 will be retailing at prices north of $700 USD. The Radeon R9 390 is suggested to retail at $700 US while the Radeon R9 390X will retail at a much higher price and the sole reason being the HBM memory which might be a deal breaker for AMD on the enthusiasts side.

The second update is regarding the more mainstream and performance cards such as the Radeon R9 380X and Radeon R9 380 which will cost $400 US and $330 US respectively while featuring performance on par with Hawaii GPU and feature the normal GDDR5 memory.

Hey guys I don't have a rig and I'm trying to figure out if I can run Ori and the Blind Forest.
Here are their listed req's on Steam:
System Requirements
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.2GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ @ 2.8 GHz
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce 240 GT or Radeon HD 6570 – 1024 MB (1 gig)
DirectX: Version 9.0c
Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel Core i5 2300 or AMD FX6120
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce GTX 550 Ti or Radeon HD 6770
DirectX: Version 11
Hard Drive: 8 GB available space
Here's what I have:
Windows 8 (64-bit)
AMD A8-5500 APU @ 3.2 GHz
8 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 7560D
over a terabyte free HD space
I thought I should be all good, but systemrequirementslab.com says No. Not enough "dedicated video RAM" only 768MB with a 1GB minimum. That's the only thing I don't pass. Is that a dealbreaker?
Thanks to anybody who is nice and patient enough to help my dumbass n00b peasant self

Well frick that then, will stick with my 290 and grab a 1440 FreeSync.
Posted on 3/16/15 at 7:52 pm to UltimateHog
700 for a 390X seems cheap now, thanks nVidia!
Posted on 3/16/15 at 8:20 pm to LSU Coyote
The 980 Ti will be at least $50 more than the 390X regardless. AMD has an actual excuse for their pricing this time, since they've got sole-sourced and cost-prohibitive HBM.

I don't mind selling my soul again for more TITANs, just don't feel the need to do it again with 390X coming. When the first TITANs launched, nothing else like it was on the market, and I was coming from a 690.
Now, no reason to pay 3K per card. I don't mind 1.5K per cardand 3K for a pair, but not 3K each. I'll get an X, but only one while waiting for the To launch.

waaat? Hadnt seen any official pricing data. Is that seriously what they're charging for it?

The 300R case you suggested comes with the front and back fan, but I wanted to add a couple to the top of the case but can't decide between which direction I want the fans to flow. I have been reading a little bit about the differences between negative pressure and positive pressure systems, but it seems there are pros and cons to both. What do you recommend?
Posted on 3/17/15 at 12:50 pm to taylork37
Positive pressure is better for keeping out dust if all of your intakes are filtered. Negative pressure has the side effect of sucking in air (and therefore dust) from all the unfiltered cracks and holes around your case, but negative is preferable if you aren't filtered.
Top fans are commonly used as exhaust because of the conventional wisdom "hot air rises," but that doesn't necessarily have any significant effect in such a small enclosure. So top fans don't have to be exhaust. I have my top fans as intake because they're attached to a radiator, and I wanted fresh, cool air on them. If unfiltered, you want balanced airflow, and if filtered, you want slightly positive. I believe the front and bottom of the 300R are filtered. Also, I don't necessarily "recommend" the 300R, nor do I advise against it. When I do part lists, I usually stick to a few standard/popular case brands and find one priced appropriately for the budget and add it to the list as a placeholder. Case preference is subjective. There are certainly better cases on the market than the 300R, if you haven't already purchased it. Otherwise, you can buy a filter set for the 300R: LINK

wouldn't that mean you're sucking in more dust than you would if filtered?
