All the heat a GK104-110 produces?

They don't run hot, at all.

Well 80C is okay but 85C is sort of unsettling.

I'm really asking this because of thermal throttling. Just wondering if middle card is throttling, if so it could greatly affect the performance.


No, the Hawaii cards are rated to 95C and don't begin throttling until it reaches there.

AMD has come out and said that running these cards, even at 95C, is perfectly fine for the life of the card. Seeing how I have 2 year warranty on these cards I'm not too concerned about low 80s. :)

So what inspired me to post the stupid shtt above? Well...

Today we are cleaning, organizing and throwing junk away in preparation on building our new shop/shed. In the process of getting stuff organized I came across this MOBO/CPU. I barely remember how this board came into my possession but really don't remember what it is and why I wanted it.

So post some of your old hardware, setups or gadgets that make you say.. WTF?



Only information I can pull off of the board is here. Still haven't Goolged yet but will post results on what is found.



Everyone has skeletons in their closets. Mine are probably worse than most.. at one point used LED FANS for years.

RED LED fans not that long ago above in my build from 2010. I kept the same case/fans/dvd/hdd for almost 3yrs; couldn't even imagine not upgrading at less one of those every year.


My computer room set up right around the time the GF and I first moved in together. This is my small.. well, tiny computer room in our old rent house. IDK how I lived that way!


My first SLi setup in June 2013 was 2xEVGA GTX 670 2GB FTWs. At the time I had just recently upgraded from a single EVGA GTX 560Ti 448 1.25GB to the single 670. Well I had been so impressed with the 670, that I just had to have a 2nd only 3 weeks later.




EDT: You guyzzzz turn!

Ah.. well, IDK if I feel comfortable with anything operating pass 90C.

If they are going to cover it, then hey.. whatever.

Out first "family" Windows PC had an Intel Pentium @ 166Mhz.

I didn't get my own PC until 2yrs later i 1998, which had oddly an AMD CPU.

EDT:
No one has pictures of personal old hardware, be it PCs or gadgets?

Should probably just start a thread on the main board. I've got old photo copy pictures of our PC and the first upgrade I ever did to my own computer. Put in a WRITABLE CD-ROM!!!!

R4 Mini? I love Fractal and especially the R4 line. My old home server/FTP was in that case.

I'm actually putting together a build right now. Was bored after cleaning and started installing components inside. Probably will give it as a prize for our benchmark competition if they choose a rig over WC hardware.

EDT: Love the wallpaper.

Crammed like me. I might see about moving my pc to that stand next to my desk and see if I can get myself some more room. Problem is my desk doesn't have the leg room to sit where I want.

I don't have a photo of it but I'm going to show my age.

My first real upgrade other than hard drives was to get an EVGA monitor and a motherboard and 386SX CPU to upgrade my 286 so I could play Wing Commander. Then I had to go out and purchase the latest and greatest SoundBlaster card so I could hear all the effects.
