lol, just tried to hook my 3d TV to my laptop. The game was amazing, at least for the first 2minutes. after that my laptop shut down due to overheating of my gpu

but even for this short time, that was just awesome playing BF3 on 55" in 3d

oo lord.. seems like there is a bit of more work than I thought with upgrading to a 7970m and it being plug n play. I guess you really have to make sure that you have all the parts before you start. Ugh

as long as you buy the card at eurocom on ebay, you will have all the parts you need. Backplate, screws, thermal pads, thermal paste. You just need to drill down the holes of your backplate a bit to get your heat sink a bit more tightened. 5min work for amazing performance. It's worth it

Thanks @mw86 Unfortunately two of the parts will arrive later. So I first will just install the passive colling. The other parts arrive in the first week of October. So won't take too long to get the chiller included in the system to get freezing temps

I'm really looking forward to it. Parts should arrive in the middle of next week )))

if you do it right, nothing will go wrong just a few commands and that's it.

yeah, you're the man @moral hazard !! can't be in long, have been looking for that one for a few weeks now since I gave it up. So the idea of a small circuit revived

First I thought I do it all internally like Asetek in the M18x:

. Of course everything has to be custom and is combined with too much work. Also with an internal cooling solution you will never reach the temps I would like to have, ~5-8°C. Also it's still quite noisy as soon as the fans start running. The only way to do that is an external chiller: Waterchiller Hailea Ultra Titan 200 (HC150=165Watt cooling capacity) |Specialtech UK Water Cooling Shop . So I filled my basket in the online shop. Additionally I will use a passive radiator for idle mode. The chiller doesn't have to run all the time.

The reason why I don't wanna have a big block which is looking outside the chassis is, in my eyes, quite simple. Additionally I'd need a seperate stand to my laptop cooler I've already got. So the laptop gets higher again. Furthermore the blocks for CPU/GPU would be prone to break the cpu, mainboard or gpu if you just put your laptop to the side without stand or slips of the stand. That's why I decided to use a really tiny water block to keep everything not higher than the actual laptop is. I will remove the fans and heatpipes and lead the pipes across the stock VRAM heatsinks, where the standard copper pipes went through to cool them and finally through the back of the laptop. There I've got a good spot I can place my quick couplings for easy removing the laptop from the rest of the water system.

I played with the idea fitting a tiny pump to the place the fan has been to enable a small circuit so the laptop would be still handy. Throttling down power of cpu and gpu to not to produce too much heat should technically feasible. A short hose outside from one to the other quick connector should be enough cooling to handle that bit of heat.Actually it isn't too complicated but unfortunately I can't find such a small 5V DC pump. Maybe I will do it some day when I found I was looking for.

I was looking everywhere for the tide water PCI cooler what @Brian mentioned: http://gadgets.softpedia.com/images/gadgets/gallery/large/Thermaltake-Tide-Water-Plus-1.jpg

there I would have propper water blocks, a very tiny pump and even a radiator I could rob out of it. But the production is discontinued and ebay doesn't have it as well. So I would be more than appreciated if one of you would know where to get one.

oh yeah B-)

I ordered parts today but takes a while till they arrive. Got two tiny water blocks from a company in the U.S. The only ones which are just 7mm high. So that should perfectly fit into it even with the cover fitted.

website is down again. Hopefully not due to a hack attack again

even if you don't overclock it's much more comfortable writing on it.

if you want you could join our HWbot team. There you can compare as much as you want. Or just throw it in here. Got a new personal highscore in 3dmark11, yesterday. P5761

great. I didn't get kicked as well with my 300 ping. So it also isn't planned to do so? goof to know

might be useful if we all know what our names on the battlefield are. So my name is 1st-Human

many times I got kicked due to a high ping of >150ms....

has this server any ping kicks??

great @Brian. Ping is now around 120ms. That should do much better

@chmod1337: yeah, that's what I mean. That's f*cking pain in the arse having a 20MBit contract and just 3.2Mbit get through. The node is only 1.1miles away...

it's not just the server location. I guess it's my intenet line. Sometimes I think pigeons deliver information to the servers B-)

lol, just played for a couple minutes and ping is above 300

It's hard to even see somebody^^

yeah, rainmeter and window blinds. On the bottom there is rocket dock installed but hidden when not in use.

I honestly can't believe there's nobody else doing some makeup with the desktop

I uploaded it to my server. try that one.

Hey guys. Just curious how your desktop looks like

So let's start That's mine at the moment. Not finished yet. The globe should indicate the locations I'm connected to but doesn't work as it should

Yeah it looks right. The 7970M + XM cpu OCed can draw lots of power, if the PSU is not able to provide that power, then it will crash. A smaller PSU won't prevent the GPU card from working properly, you just won't be able to push GPU and CPU to the max.

That's right. The system would crash without any BSOD or notice, the laptop would just turn off. Also the system would take the missing power from battery.

So let's assume. He didn't overclock his CPU, it's on stock, his battery is on 100% and most important he doesn't have any shutdowns or BSODs. That means his PSU is still able to deliver all the power it needs. I guess it's coming from the non-overclocked/throttlestopped CPU.

@MerlinNg : I will continue PMing you as soon as you're online to get you into throttlestop. won't be that difficult

also: just in case you wanna buy a more powerful PSU, check amazon. It's about a third cheaper than eBay ~41$

edit: also his card must actually get enough power because he can play BF3 and others on full details.

That's a really good question. I try to get two of these blocks: Thermaltakeusa*»*Thermaltakeusa*»*W2 : W2 CL-W0088 . But unfortunately they don't produce it anymore. eBay didn't find anything. It's a bit tricky but I definitely don't give up The holes should fit. If not I could adjust it a bit or fit an additional holder to it. I will see as soon as I get it. The option would be to disassemble that one: Thermaltake Tide Water Plus Cooler - image detail - Softpedia . There I would have a two water blocks, a tiny pump and radiator. Actually everything to build a small circuit when using my laptop on the go. A second circuit wouldn't be that complicate to intigrate into it. But this water cooler isn't available anymore, too. I'm getting mad of this :S Another option would be to cut off the die plate of the existing heat sink and fit the block to that. So the VRAM would get could with no much trouble. Need to think about that now with a chilled wheat beer... cheers

Found some more blocks on the internet. I will call them today to get the exact dimensions

I think I got it. check this out: Water Blocks Liquid Heat Exchangers : CustomThermoelectric.com. there are several water blocks which would more or less perfectly fit into it

well, yeah. The card has been replaced for free

Hi folks.

I'm thinking about my laptop liquid chilled. So far I got almost all the parts I need to do it. The only thing left is a cpu/gpu block. Unfortunately I can't find one which is not higher than 7mm. Even a thin plate with pipes to the side would do. I also was thinking about adjusting the stock heat sink. Removing the copper pipes and fitting a thin water plate. But I can't find anything which would looking like that.

Aquatuning - Der Wasserkhlung Vollsortimenter

That's my shopping card with the bits I would buy. These parts are either for CPU or GPU. If you want to cool both, just add two of the T-hose connectors like that: Aquatuning - Der Wasserkhlung Vollsortimenter - 8/6mm (6x1mm) T Schlauchverbinder 8/6mm (6x1mm) T Schlauchverbinder 62021

Now my question...

In case you know what I mean where could I get such a flat cooler plate or block? As you can see on top at the shopping card I added a core cooler, but this one is way to high :/

From the CPU die the back of the laptop cover I got 10mm. From the GPU die to the cover I got 7mm.

In theory all that should work...
