  1. Hey fellas.

    So we've all probably seen this video:

    And so as he tested the cpu went to extremely high wattage consumption of over 400W.

    Now what im asking is, if its just beacause his cpu throttled, and his cooler was crap? i mean cmon h100 or any other aio is bad realy, if im pairing it with 2 360 rads just for cpu and gpu, will it still throttle the wattage like that?

     

    The CPU can run 5 GHz on Apex with H100. So if it can only run 4.5 or 4.6 on a different board it's for sure not the chip or cooler :) The CPU is delidded with liquid metal

  2. You can easily compare the time frame, and how it's irrelevant how it affects some (or many) users.

     

    By the same reasoning you shouldn't even differ between like a GTX1070 or a Titan X Pascal, or any Pascal GPU. They're all pascals, thus equal. At least just as equal as a Mars vs a 295. If # of ROPs and bus width is not enough, why are these cards separated? Besides, the Mars isn't marketed as a 295, even: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/MARS2DI4GD3/ - it's it's own thing. Maybe some software, by error, reads it as a 295 doesn't make it a GTX 295.

     

    The line has been drawn at similar performance at reference speeds. Memory IC, PCB, production process, clocks etc don't change that, but bus width and # of ROPs usually do. This is one of the cases that go against the common practise above. And if this argument doesn't hold, then GTX 275 and 285 should also be merged as the difference between the two is the same as the difference between Mars and 295. Agree?

    ASUS presented the card as GTX 295 at Computex 2009. The name is not a "software bug"
