    HD 4870 Aftermarket Cooler

    I'm finding the retail cooler to be a little loud for my tastes. I'm hoping to find something quieter. Additionally, when I moved my computer over to my new case this summer, my temps went up 5-10 C and I'd like for them to be lower. I'm only hitting the 70s on load, but I'd like to bring it...

    HD 4870 Aftermarket Cooler

    I'm looking for an aftermarket cooler for my HD 4870. I want it to run cooler and quieter than the reference cooler allows. I'm not familiar with aftermarket cooling for GPUs, so I'm looking for some advice. This is what I'm considering so far...

    First overclock, voltage questions

    Alright, a little more tweaking today and I reached my goal. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=579958 I'm pretty happy with this. I think I could go a little higher, but I'm currently at 1.475v and the temps are starting to scrape 80 C on stressing. Sure, I could push it some more...

    First overclock, voltage questions

    My motherboard doesn't actually let me select a divider directly. However, it lets me pick the DRAM speed from a list of values that would correspond to some divider (I think). It also lets me select the FSB strap, but I've left that on auto since it picks whatever is correct for the DRAM speed...

    First overclock, voltage questions

    Ok, thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. Is there an app out there that will show MCH temps? I'm a little curious to see if I need to look into extra cooling there if I'm going to be adding voltage. I have a case with good airflow, but I have some extra fans lying around and it would seem...

    Airflow/Shroud question

    I have the same case and I was planning on posting a similar topic in the next few days. I went to the ATCS 840 from a piece of crap Apevia case. My old case had an intake fan pointing directly at the graphics card. When I put everything in the ATCS 840, my GPU temps went up ~5 C. I was...

    First overclock, voltage questions

    This is my first real attempt at overclocking here. I had a goal in mind of hitting 3.6 GHz with my Q6700, but I'm a little concerned about the voltages I'm going to need to get there. Currently, I've got it running at 3.5 GHz (350 x 10) and CPU-Z shows 1.4v (it's about 1.43 or something in...
