how is the temps on it now? and does that slim fan make any noise?

Radical_Edward · Sep 24, 2010

Highest the temp got when the card was clocked at 850Mhz/1200Mhz was 41*C. The fan seems to be a lot quieter than it's rated at on newegg.

Edit- After some HEAVY testing with dirt 2's benchmark, after my room was hot and stuffy from a day of crunching, it got up to 54*C. Not bad at all if you ask me.

Got my Phenom II X4 945 yesterday, had it crunching all night.

I'm going to get some more gaming tests in today, played BC2 for about 10 minutes yesterday and I was able to double my frame rate from before, even with settings on high and AAX2 MSAAX2.

I'm thinking a Dirt2 benchmark today would be good, no?

(FIH) The Don · Oct 9, 2010

i am so happy that you finally got a better cpu

about damn time lol

and yes, bc2 does take MUCH benefit from a quadcore over dual as youve seen yourself

and yeah, gives us some freakin benches

Now all you need is a faster disk array

Was planning on two WD Blacks.

I'm not ready for an SSD until I get a better job.

Hey I'm going to put my spare 640GB Black up for grabs sometime or another. If you see that the 640 (with 32MB cache) is what you'd want give me a PM and we can work out a deal

Radical_Edward · Oct 9, 2010

I was planning on two 500GB WD blacks for RAID, with my current WD 500GB blue as a external back up for my files.

Why the 500GB version? On Newegg right now you can get a 640GB with the 32MB cache for the same price as the 500, or a 64MB version for $10 more.

Radical_Edward · Oct 9, 2010

Erh, because I haven't looked at HDD's on there for months. :eek:

Prices really haven't changed that much, except on the big boys. You can now get a 2TB drive for under $100.

Radical_Edward · Oct 10, 2010

Messing around with Dirt 2's benchmark.

(FIH) The Don · Oct 10, 2010

awesome

think my 470 only does around 15 more than yours, so that is very nice imo :toast:

Radical_Edward · Oct 10, 2010

Yeah. Phenom II X4 945 3.0Ghz + ASUS EAH5770 = Not so bad after all.

Radical_Edward · Oct 13, 2010

Modding time!

I plan to plug up the areas around the 120mm soon, to prevent dust issues. Also, I need to mod the top part some more, remove some plastic, and get another 120mmx12mm fan.

I also plan on getting 2 more CM R4's, a fan controller and another filter. :rockout:

Radical_Edward · Oct 16, 2010

My old score when I had the X2.

My new score with the X4

(FIH) The Don · Oct 16, 2010

nice!! more than double in cpu score, not bad :toast:

makwy2 · Oct 24, 2010

Good to know my baby (the 945) has gone to good use!

Glad it's working so great!

Radical_Edward · Oct 24, 2010

Sure is. It's been crunching nice and hard, and games fantastically.

Radical_Edward · Nov 2, 2010

Switched back to the stock cooler on my 5770, had to move some of the ramsinks so I put them on the VRMs.

Radical_Edward · Nov 20, 2010

Radical_Edward · Nov 21, 2010

I know I posted earlier today, but I just ordered another fan and a decent amount of MX-2 to remount my MB's north bridge and south bridge heatsinks. I used the last of my MX-2 today to remount my Hyper 212+ and it dropped load temps down 2*c.

(FIH) The Don · Nov 22, 2010

thats pretty good for a 5770 in that game, especially when it favors nvidia cards so much

Radical_Edward · Nov 23, 2010

I was able to turn it up to high on all except shadows and it only had a FPS drop of 1-3ish.

sweet

id be all over ATI cards if it wasnt for the folding pwnage by nvidia cards
