That's a bit more than what I'm looking for, I just want to replace the fan really.

Hey guys, I have a card here with a dying fan, I've tried applying WD-40 and it seemed to improve it a little, but not enough. I have a similar sized fan with a four-pin connector, but it doesn't have the proper four screw plastic housing it needs to sit atop the heatsink it needs to stay on...

Cheers guys, I appreciate it :)

No overclocking. €200. There's a difference. I built the pc for him three years ago and he wants to use his money to upgrade his computer. That's all. There's no ego involved, he doesn't have the most powerful pc out of our group. He doesn't want to go with a dual gpu configuration...

There's no problem of where to buy, I have a number of good online stores to buy from. But, to satisfy your curiousity, I'm in Ireland. I typically buy from Pixmania, Komplett, Dabs and Amazon. I do tend to shop around to get the right prices, so there's no need for you to go looking. I will do...

Nono, this isn't for me, it's a friend whose pc specifications I have listed above. I'd appreciate some suggestions for both cpu's and gpu's, then he and I will go over it and decide from there. Thanks for your replies though!

I have a friend with a pc who is looking to upgrade soon, but I'm not sure which needs updating first. His system is as follows - i7 920 6GB DDR3 GeForce 460 Would it be worth upgrading his i7 to one of the newer processors? My immediate thought is to upgrade the graphics card, but on...

He wants to max his games, but spend as little as possible. There's absolutely no reason to spend $250 on a 6950 when you can get a 6870 for just over $200 - the 6870 will perform well on everything he wants to max out. The HIS card is just $204 right now.

Never mind. :banghead:

I thought that was the point, rather than having to load up Afterburner every time I wanted to go to YouTube or watched a video? And yes, I created a profile, but I'm not sure Afterburner is actually doing anything. I set the fan to auto and it never moved of it's own accord at all - not even...

Okay, I stopped Overdrive, and ran Kombustor with a saved profile in Afterburner. When I change the slider, it's already set to 750MHz, but running at 500MHz. When Kombustor ran, the clock changed to 750MHz, as it should. But seeing as the slider is already set to 750MHz, how can I tell...

It's running at 1.20V idle, so no worries there.

My speed is set manually to 55%, 3756rpm. When sitting idle on the desktop (or playing video) the temperature is usually 46 degrees celsius, when under load (playing a game, for example), it usually sits at around 60 degrees. Set the fan to 100%, are you mad? Have you heard a 4870's reference...

I tried what you suggested, RivaTuner asked to reboot, then when it did the clocks were set to the default 750/900. I tried a DVD and... no luck, I'm afraid. I did notice that since I've reinstalled Catalyst 10.8, the grey vertical stripes are darker than before... if that means anything. I...

I replied directly to your post but didn't try what you suggested because you and Black Panther, while suggesting the same thing, went in different directions when it came to speeds. You wanted me to set the card to 3D speeds, where the core clock would jump from 500MHz to 750MHz, while Black...
