Just got one of these, and the thing is LOUD. Quite disappointed really.
Hope Antec do a recall..

I was planning on installing my Aerocool VM-101 on the card first thing before trying the 3850, but decided to listen to the stock cooling. To my surprise, it really is quiet. My system sounds the same. I tried running RTHDRIBL fullscreen and the fan speed does not seem to change. This is great new...

The top and bootom fans are reversed, nothing I can do the Scythe can only be used that way otherwise the blades hit the VGA heatsink, shame isn't it, all the other fans don't offer the same Noise/Airflow, except the Nexus but it cannot be used horizontally as it generates a clicking noise.. Its a ...

As much as my 1950 irritates me, the 3850 with this power envelope doesn't seem like a worthy replacement. And if it's indeed around 100W, then it's going to have pretty bad performance-per-watt - the 1950 is 65W max. Thanks for your reply, I didn't realise the 1950 was such a low-power card. Does ...

I am really interested in this card. I'd like to buy one, if I can get my hands on an Asus A8R32 motherboard (so I can upgrade to PCIe). It seems stupid, but I really want to keep my Opteron for a while :¬) I wonder what sort of cooling will be necessary for these new AMD/ATI cards? Hopefully more ...

The last step is optional but highly recommended: A separate aluminum plate provides additional cooling for any RAM chips on the back side of the card. It also draws some heat through the PCB, so it is useful even on cards without rear-mounted RAM chips. At the bottom of page 2 devon recommends I d...

I recently had the chance to put both a NV5.3 and an Accelero X1 on my 6800 GT (actually an AOpen Aeolus too :)). Being quite a bit of a newbie, I still found them very easy to put on (even if the instructions weren't very helpful). One thing I wasn't sure of was how to affix the aluminium backing p...

Dear Wilhelm-Tell, How have you undervolted your Nexus and AC Freezer64 Pro fans? Is the Freezer connected to the CPU fan header? I'm a big fan of your setup. Oh, do you have any intake fans? I'm considering a similar build and I would like to have 1 or 2 real silent 92 mm fans running as slowly as ...

I was talking about running the ninja passively... as fas as I know, it doesn't come with a fan (right?), so I assumed that was the most common way that they were installed. In Australia, it seems you can't get Ninjas without a Scythe fan: http://www.pccasegear.com/prod2634.htm P.S. Has anyone test...

I have only painted plastic parts, but I suppose painting the case could be done. But the results are not likely to be a glossy smooth finish that existed on the case before you painted it. I am not sure if a black P150 would look all that great anyway, since the front bezel is unpainted aluminum w...

Haha yeah nice one! I've actually been trying for a while to think of a way to colour-match and paint the black front of my Sony FDD to go with my upcoming P150. There's always the tempting option of not mounting my floppy externally, it's hardly ever used anyway. I reckon I might mount it backwards...
