So I'm puting together a project and need help. I just bought a 6850 a Arctic Cooling GPU cooler on ebay. I need to know a few things. Can I use this cooler out of the box as it is or will I need attachments like extra thermal grease? They'll be coming in few days so there is no rush. I will plan on doing some OCing as well with this setup and running. What kind of performance increase can I expect like this over my current Sapphire 6770OC Edition and this setup with an OC and at stock clocks. Previously I was using two GTX580'sOC on my spare 750W PSU and performance was not crash hot, for what I expected from them (it's the PSU I know. So I downgraded until I have the time to put together a more organized power assembly. I haven't benched the 6770 yet and I don't want to OC it more than it is right now. I have only played HL2 on it and performance was about 120 frames per sec avg. WIll I need to do anything more than what I have done today. What kind of Thermal Pastes can you get online? Is there anyone else with this kind of setup willing to share their experience?
My sys specs are:
Core i7 920 @ 3.29ghz
Corsair 6gb DDR3 2ghz
rog rampage 2 extreme x58 ich10r
recon 3d fatality pro
haf 932 (well cooled)
pc p&c 750W psu
on the psu. I'm guessing right now I won't need an upgrade for the 6850 , unless I get two or three, but what about my sound? ( I know I should have upgraded for the 580's, but that's another story [1250W psu blew up])
i am a gamer. not full time. mostly sp not mp except some SL and WOW. no mp shooters mostly sp shooters.
all I need my computer for is design work 'simple' gaming and benchmarking comparison.
I am I doing ok so far? :shadedshu
