Thanks so much for the info about the OS update. Will definitely check that before installing a graphics-card. Since I really don't need any performance out of it, I might just stick to the fanless / passive idea.
BTW the only reason I started thinking about getting a gfx card is because I get...
Oh yeah i even forgot there are drivers :) But you just install them and you're good to go right? No extra files to patch or edit?
And should I go for a certain manufacturer for compatibility reasons? I'm running Sierra 10.12.2...
Passive because I need it to be as quiet as possible. I'm doing...
Hey guys,
can someone please recommend a fanless PCIe GeForce card?
Would be great to know that it's works OOTB before I buy one..
Example:
Palit GeForce GTX 1050Ti KalmX 4GB GDDR5 DVI/HDMI/DP (passive)
You can find my built in the signature.. (Z170X-UD5-TH)
BTW I don't need super high...
So these ports will be the same on any GA-Z170X-UD5-TH board? If so then I don't have to do the mapping myself, right?
I am running 10.12.1 on this board with Fractal Define R5 Case... Anyone maybe with the same setup and a working USB-Config?
hey wfj,
just wanna say thanks again for sharing this build and answering my few questions!
i have my system up running and its amazing speed compared to my MBP :)
two more things:
did you update to 10.7.4?
which FW version is running on your mainboard?
cheers!!
Wow, just read some news about the gtx 680 - what a monster!!
One more thing I forgot to ask. Have you tried hooking up two monitors to the gtx 570 in osx?
Good point.. I'll be making music on this system using Logic Pro mainly.
BUT I also want to throw some games in Windows 7. I'm not a hardcore gamer but for example I want to check out BF3 and have it run really smooth. Your advice?
Sure some other builds using a HD 6870 say that this one really works out of the box.
Thanks to your build i guess I'll be going for the gtx 570. Is it that much of a difference performance-wise? I see you're using both cards in the two builds you have.
Hey wfj,
this is pretty much the same build I was thinking of.
Except I'm still undecided between an HD 6870 and GTX 570.
Thought it would be a bit more tricky to get the GTX 570 to work but it seems really simple in your case :)
Is the GTX 570 quiet enough in your opinion?
What problems are...
Hi everyone,
I just started my journey on planning my first build. Hardware is checked for compatibility and ordered :) Thanks by the way for this awesome page!
Now, I have a MBP with Lion (updated from SL). Can I use the MBP to create the USB Drive from which i want to install Lion on the new...
