Okay, I feel like an idiot now. Haha, thanks guys that was it.

I'm trying to replace the stock fan on my Cooler Master Hyper 212, but I can't figure out how to remove the mounting bracket on the stock fan so I can put it on the replacement. Has anyone here done this before? I'd appreciate any help.

Wow, thanks for all the replies everyone! I see most people are saying the Bulldozer isn't great for gaming and that does not sit well with me. Looks like I'm sending this motherboard back and going with an Intel 2500k. Thanks for the info guys.

Also, if I do get an Intel cpu, can you guys recommend a cheapish motherboard? I don't plan on cross firing or SLI so it wouldn't have to have more than one pci express slot.

I see you own a Bulldozer. When you say headache, do you mean you're having problems with it or are you disappointed with it's performance?

Right now I have an AMD Phenom II x4 970 @ 3.5ghz and I just returned my two HD 6950s because I had bad micro stuttering in my games. I now plan on ordering a single GTX 580 just so I don't have to worry about multi gpu problems. A couple of weeks ago I bought a Gigabyte 990fx-ud3 mobo...

So its only good for really high resolutions? I can't seem to find any reviews comparing tri fire with regular crossfire.

I have two 6950 2gb right now and they are awesome, but I was wondering if it would be worth it to add another 6950 later on. I have a good motherboard and 1050w power supply. How many frames would I gain while playing on 1920x1200 resolution?

I've been building computers for five years, but I've never overclocked anything before because I am too scared of ruining my components. But now that Battlefield 3 is almost here, I'm thinking about giving it a shot. I was talking to my computer wiz friend and he said I should definitely...

Nice. Thanks for all the help samuel. This forum is very helpful.

I have one more question lol. Is a 750w power supply enough to crossfire two 6950s? Its a pretty high quality psu, its a pc power and cooling.

That's good to know. About how many frames would you lose when running crossfire with a x4 and x16 compared to both x16?

Yeah I know $110 is cheap already, but I'm not worried about overclocking potential. I've been looking at cheap motherboards with two pci express slots and almost all of them have one x16 lane and one x4 lane. Is that something to worry about?

Getting a proper crossfire setup is sounding more like a better idea now. I like the two 6950 idea. Do you guys know of any cheaper motherboards?

I have an AMD Phenom II X4 970 at 3.5ghz. Would you recommend overclocking?

Hello everyone, I'm wanting to upgrade my 5870 to something more powerful for Battlefield 3. I'm looking for the best single card solution for around $500 or less. Stupid me went cheap and bought a motherboard with only one pci express slot last year. Does anyone think getting a PowerColor...
