well, there is a modded bios in that same thread with 1.1v

maybe I'll try that later on...
I'm kinda chicken too...but only because I'm under the impression that the gains to be had are pretty minor.
It's not like turning my x850pro into an x850xtpe after all:laugh:

That looks like a NICE cooler! Does it give a phasing noise from having the two fans?

Also it might not be the best gpu cooler but it's in the top five, and by far the smallest for this type of performance.

not sure but one of the orbs has a ever so slight rattle in the fan it starts doing after a while it's hard to hear unless you have the side of the case off. I put it on a fan controller and it went away. I f it gets worse will rma to thermaltake
