Ambient temps aren't that high really...the rets of the temps seem high as power saving features were disabled on the CPU when I took that screenie a couple of days ago, and the high motherboard sensor temps are due to the hot air coming off of that VGA.

Now, if I put the other card on top, it hits about 65c with multiple monitors, and exhausts the hot air out the case. However, if I leave things in that config, the rear exhaust cards gets super-high load temps due to sucking in all the hot air from the in-case exhaust card.

Sucks that I have mis-matched cards, but oh well. I told XFX before they tested the card and sent it to me, that it better be bullet proof, because if it wasn't, I'd be RMA'ing the card for sure. They assured me I'd get a good card, and really, I cannot say the temps concern me that much. Lifetime warranty means that when it pops, I'll get another.

If I remember correctly cadaveca is from Edmonton, AB. And you don't really need to worry about ambient temps there.

Yeah, not really a place where ambient is too important.

However, on hot days(if you can call them hot), because the climate here is so cold, it can be an issue to exhuast hot air out of the house itself, as homes here are very much made to retain heat, and my home even more so than some other homes.

Ya, I'm from Edmonton as well and now that I live in TW I definitely need to worry about ambient temps.

Yeah, on a single card. Pretty impressed by AMD and Deus EX, for sure.

After going through this thread about whether or not 4GB of ram is enough for today's games, do you think that 4GB is enough for Eyefinity?

For the price of 8gb ram, its crazy not to.
Here in the UK, you can get G.Skill 2x4gb for £35

I'm running a new motherboard motherboard every week for a reviews, swapping out ram sticks, etc...

PLus, using Eyefinity daily...

Uh, yeah, 4 GB of ram is PLENTY. I have NEVER ram out of ram.

OF course, I do have 8GB of serverla types of mem, so yeah, I've played with that too...NO DIFFERENCE.

That said, I can get 8GB of ram for $40. NO reason to NOT run 8GB.

So htere's my opinion. There's no need for 8GB< but also no reason to NOT run it, except, fo course, that so much ram does affect overclocking.

This is what I'm worried about. The ram speed I have now is 1800mhz running at 1440. So, If I mix and match it might effect my overclock. Probably just stay at 4GB until I sell this rig.

Guys, if I'll remove metallic borders on the monitors, we'll it work after? Want to have extra thin bezel. Reduced from 19 mm to 9 mm already by disassembling plastic bodies

hey Rebelstar. I'm curious what your wall mount looks like from behind. Are they three different mounts or just one?

Custom mod. I made these mounts from the wood and painted with black, 3 pieces for each screen. They have adjusting angles via hinge
