I am currently looking into using a gelid icy vision rev2 for my 6870, just wondering if the vrm sinks coming with the icy will be enough as it seems it wasnt for your 5850.

Well I might go for the new 6870 and use gelid icy on that one as the rev 2 seems to fit on it.

Hello, I have a question it might be a noobie one though :D I am currently thinking about buying new monitor with new PC. The Samsung BX2450 was looking really nice but I have was looking for a monitor who could still handle 75HZ @ low reso's (for example 640x480), now the specs of this monitor says...

Hello guys, I am looking for a new gaming card to play COD black ops with a 24" screen at good frame rates. Now I have been searching some about the new cards but I can't make up my mind: 1) Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X 2) Sapphire 6850 3) Any 5870 and use a aftermarket cooler? Arctic-Cooling Accelero Xtre...

Still havent decided what case ill be using either the solo or antec P183, Hardware: I5 750, 8gb, noctua NH12se2, gigabyte P55UD5, ati 5770 etc, seasonic x-650,SSD & samsung 1TB for data. Fans will be using all nexus at 5v & 7v. Im just thinking if the solo without front fans would have good enough ...

Still need help

Hello my build is almost done and will post some pictures later on. Atm I did some tests for temps in the P183 case with sflex-e 1200RPM@5V for top, same fan for on my noctua NH12SE cooler but @7V, and a slipstream for exhaust. Atm I am seeing temps around 48/50 when im stressing smalls and large wi...

Does 5870 fit in solo? I think it didnt?

Well that cooler really looks like THE silent solution for high end gaming cards really nice im tempted :p

Hej well a gaming system always will require cooling :) The P183 with 3 slow fans doesnt add any noise and is enough to cool a decent gaming system. The noctua cooler with a 1000/1200 rpm fan undervolted runs my I5 at 50° load. About the 5750 its a fanless club3d version but it got way to hot witho...

Running all your fans at 12v wont get you a silent system, I have almost a setup like yours. My temps are really nice with using my CPU fan at 7v and case fans even at 5V, sflex-E and one slipstream for my rear exhaust. I would go with the seasonic x650 atleast I have it myself its just a noiseless ...

Glad to hear that the fan helped! 60C under FurMark seems adequate. :D When I boot up I hear like some schrrrrcttt "scratch sound" coming from or around the CPU, should I be worried or is this normal? It disappears as soon as I get in win7 I really doubt this is a problem. My machines make a racket...

Yea just adding a fan ziptied makes the card really really nice imo :) doesnt make your system noisy. Even when not gaming I saw idle temps at 45°/50 and furmark almost gave me a 90° the last time I tried it again without a fan... with a fan like I said I dont go above 60°, keep in mind this was ...

Seems to come from the motherboard but can only hear it when I get close to it during the boot up, some capacitator probably near the CPU?

its not a fan

One more problem or well I would like to know if its normal but because my system is so silent I heard something I never did before. When I boot up I hear like some schrrrrcttt "scratch sound" coming from or around the CPU, should I be worried or is this normal? It dissapears as soon as I get in win7

Does it fit 5850 aswell btw? or only the 5870? should be same board right?

I fixed mine with ziptie 500rpm fan its pretty much noiseless and my temps are 35° idle and like 60/65° load im pretty happy with it, does the job for me I just watch movies and some cs 1.6 and WoW

like 50°, I ziptied a scythe slipstream at 500rpm now I get 28idle and like 60 load or so in furmark

Well my first problem already is a hard one, the club3d fanless GPU gets WAY to hot, under furmark load test I almost got 90°. using antec 183 and 2 sflex 1200 at 7v and one slipstream at 7v. will have to look at some other quiet vga solutions :/

The parts just came I will post some pics later on

Hej guys, Thanks for the adivce there your indeed right on the SSD I will check the agility series from OCZ I think. For the wow gaming part im using 1680 atm on a 20" samsung lcd that I plan to replace aswell with a 22", my friend has really nice fps with the 5750 but yea the 5770 could give me som...

Hej hohoho:) After alot of researching and building machines for friends its time to build my own, any advice is welcome! Keep in mind the machine will be used for daily use of inet, photoshop, office some light gaming(cs & wow) and movies. Keep in mind the build has to be really silent :) CPU : Cor...

Sure the noise aint THAT bad but it isnt something I would use myself atleast.. especially at night it goes above anything I have in my PC.

Vapor 5770 is now out btw

out of the box the only real silent cards are gigabyte 4850 and the 9800gt silent cell I would go with one of these it gives you room to play a game aswell

yea the ones I have is the same as on the picture

maybi prolima megashadow is an option?

Short review! :D I tested the 5750 today its a nice card performance wise for its money if you ask me atleast if you dont wanna blow all the latest games at highest configs. Now the noise part for me atleast it sux donkey balls its 2 times louder then my 4870 vapor-x at idle. For me atleast it wasnt...

One thing is for sure that site is bullshit they state the 5850 standard for a 18dba in idle thats tottaly NOT true as I have tested one myself and even in idle the cooler makes noise as hell
