    Hey Mupet, Ive seen several forums now with the same faults on all brands, stock and oc cards.

    Gigabyte GTX 560ti issues

    The driver that came with the card I have not tried. The card is a factory overclocked Gigabyte (not the SOC). However I reinstalled the 266.66 again and it works fine for a while then slows right down, black screens for a bit, and then is working again all in about 3-5 secs. Seems that the...

    Gigabyte GTX 560ti issues

    Hey guys, my Gigabyte GTX 560ti drops its frequency down to 405 core and 324 mem randomly during gameplay. The only way to bring it back up to 900 core 1000 mem is to restart the PC.

    Scythe Musashi VGA Cooler Spotted in Japanese Stores

    The DuOrb works great on the 4850, the wife has one on hers. However the 4870 pushes more heat and it cant cool it during gameplay.

    Scythe Musashi VGA Cooler Spotted in Japanese Stores

    I own 2 4870s and the HR-03 with 92mm fan is the best air cooler for these cards, however it absorbs 4 mobo slots. The Zalman VF-1000 is also a good cooler for overclocking and gaming. The Thermaltake Duorb at idle works fine but after playing COD4 for an hour the card surpassed the stock...

    Water Cooling Q6600 G0 + 8800 GTX

    Mate, that pump will be more than sufficient. It has a flow rate of ~1200 LMP. I am using the P500 Thermaltake at ~500 LMP and it works fine. Q6600 @3.4 idle 32c Load 48c Ambient 25c. Try the Laing DC5 Vario 12V pump (same pump but with variable speed).

    8800GT SLI TEMPS - Stock HSF to Water

    I also live in Brisbane and the ambient temp in my room is about 28c - 30c ( No Air Cond :( )during the day and those temps are very similar to my 8800GTX temps using the zalman full coverage waterblock. So for an SLI setup those temps are quiet good. BTW Where in Aus do you buy your...
