I have seen a strange behaviour of Autodesk Composite 2011 / 2012 while teaching my customers. On about 80% of their workstations a nasty bug happened and crashed Composite immediately. As soon as a CTRL+C CTRL+V operation is performed Composite crashes. And you'll use Copy&Paste a lot...
The solution is simple but not really logical to me. Update the graphic card driver!
The problem occurs using both vendors ATI and NVIDIA. So in case you this bug, try updating your drivers. I hope this helps out someone ;)

Cooler Master HAF-X GPU Cooling...Fail...
Yesterday I wrote that I mount another fan to cool the GTX 590 down a bit. The cooler Master HAF X Case has got a lot of coolers already and provides an Air Duct specialy to add another Fan to the GPU.
The GTX 590 is just too big :), First I had to cut off some locking nibbles, then I had to cut out the opening for the Power supply a bit. With all the assembly done I tested the temperatures again. They did not change a lot, the GPU near the fan even got a bit hotter. All right I have an Airflow problem there. Now I try to cut off a "lot!" of the airduct for the next test. if this also fails I model a mount in Rhino and 3D-Print it, this would actually be a lot of fun and a feasible use of 3D printing.

iray compared to mental ray first impressions
I built a new computer a few days ago with a Nvidia GTX 590 graphic card to compare 3DS Max 2012 rendering speed and quality between VRay, VRay RT, mental ray and iray.
GTX 590 Speed, Memory and Temperature
The GTX 590 has got 2 GTX 580 GPU's on a single slot card with 2x512 CUDA processing units. Yes that is more than the higher end cards (Quadro, Tesla...) have onboard. For the money I spend on this gamercard I can buy 2 or three if they get toasted while heavily rendering. I get more bang for the buck than the high end cards. With careful cooling and maybe adjusting the clock speed I can squeeze all out that I need.
