Maybe you should put a couple more BS references in your post. Everything is BS to you it seems, mr. clueless. Looking at all the posts you've made, I'd guess at least half of them are BS - at least I'm giving you a little credit even though you do run dual 7600gt's :laugh:. Try sticking...

Since you can't seem to do the research on your own - here you go .. This 8800gt (Asus 8800gt Top edition, hits 80 celsius - and the ram will be approximately the same as all other reviews confirm -- and they are quite loud as oppose to what the fanboy babbling reviewers on the net would like...

Ever heard of a thermal probe?? It's not hard to grab a temperature reading from the side of the card where there's a space between the heatsink and pcb. Not to mention the option of an infrared thermometer that doesn't even have to physically touch anything. It's as if you haven't even read...

They were a great bargain compared to some of the other overpriced models on newegg - especially with the free $30 Zalman pre-installed. Newegg has nixed the Gigabyte cards on their site - I guess Gigabyte got slammed by the high demand. I believe the 512MB cards were $259 - I ended up...

Get a clue guys -- ram sink are pointless and unneeded. So to put this myth to rest, check the temp testing in my previous review link - and this little blip below.. The memory modules are left exposed but according to our testing, were cooler than those on the standard GeForce 8800 GT...

Sounds like your buddy's card is either crap, or he didn't install the VF700 correctly. Reviews confirm massive temperature drops with the new design, even with the naked ram chips - Gigabyte's design drops load temps from the reference coolers' nearly 80 celsius on ram and core to an...

That's a very capable cooler, highly effective and gets tops reviews everywhere I've looked -- and the ram sink requirement is a myth, they are pointless -- reviews confirm that the Gigabyte cards' opened up format with the great airflow from the Zalman significantly decreases ram temps...

You guys in the UK are paying $320 US dollars for an HD 3870, Wowsers. 8800gt 512 are $249 here, and there's been some 3870 deals for about $220. I notice the same thing in Australia - there a guys an ebay selling products way over retail to other countries. I can understand the weak dollar...

Oh yeah, that is rather horribly far from what it should be. That's a pretty beefy processor, and I only run an overclocked x2 3800+ and I'm pushing 9,000 3dmark with my 3850. I'm still trying to figure out the best drivers for performance and stability for overclocking - what are your...

Nice work, although that's clearly not a "mild" overlock as you call it.. We'd be about dead even if I had a better processor - and I really need some more ram. But here's my run at 1280x1024 all setting on high - with the new Radeon HD 3850 series, the monster mid-range card that's got ATI...
