Question about XFX brand

[Cannibal Corpse]

Hey All,

I was all hyped up to buy the new PV-T70G-UDE7 revision (black PCB with 4pin molex), when I came across these issues:

1) Why all of a sudden, no online vendor carries this model no longer (also if NewEgg doesn't then I don't know who is)?

2) Why most people are having such issues with hsf and rebooting?

3) Should I still buy XFX?

The only reason that I am inclined to buy this particualr model/brand is the looks. I am building a new gaming system for someone and I guess the looks are more important than the actual performance.

Thanks for your help.

1) newegg still carries it... oh shit i'm wrong, they carried it as of 3 days ago roughly.

2) i dont know, i've had no such issues with mine, 45c idle, ~75-80c load @ 475/1200

3) i see no reason why not, i'm kind of wishing mine had a 6 pin pci-e rather than the 4 pin molex cause i'm about to grab another 7800gt and it ovbioulsy wont match.

I believe they just sold out. They had them listed as on sale and for a really good price.

No, you got it wrong the performance is the one that you should look for try BFGI assure you you wont be disappointed.

actually, as of 1 or 2 days ago, it was still listed as 'In stock' if you searched for it. But if you clicked on the link, then it said that the product wasn't even on the site. I emailed them about this, and I'm currently waiting for a reply.

Now, I have an Enermax 620W 'Liberty' thas has native PCI-e connectors, if I get this revision of XFX, do I need a 'converter' or can I use any availble 4pin molex on my Enermax?

Another question: If I find this model, should I get it or wait for 7900?

I have been lusting over a new video card since last August, and now we have 7900 or ATi's X1900XT upon us!
