Well i returned my xfx 6850, which was way too loud and hot for my linking (idled at 49c, load temp was 79c). but that was at 100% fan speed, which was unbearable.
Got an Asus 6850 instead, much much quieter, in fact i cant even hear it over my case fans. The temps are much better as well...
NICE, ups should be delivering mine any minute. Hopefully that ~$20 premium i paid for the XFX 6850 will pay off for me too. I'm also upgrading from a 5770 @1ghz so this really put me at ease. How is the difference in games?
I just received my MSI 5770 hawk from newegg, today. Nice card i must say, better components than the xfx 5770 ill be soon returning.
I was able to get mine to 1000mhz on 1.2v (that was the stock voltage for some reason). With temps maxing out at 72c. I'll try for more tomorrow.
It appears i do, :D
I was able to fix the issue when I tried to test the card out in a diff pc, It work fine in that one, and then when i put the 5770 back in my main pc it worked fine in that one too. I changed nothing else. Same drivers same everthing, cant figure out what was the issue...
Yeah, what gets me is that they tried to pass off a crippled 5770 chip that should have been in a 5750 instead. Im gonna see if they will upgrade me to something better, or I'll just return it. Either way i have a MSI 5770 Hawk coming from newegg. Not buying from Tiger Direct, again, that for...
