1800RPM when 85C~~

i think that 30% only..
try set to 40% manually..

if 40% kind of noisy~~i prefer set it auto~~

then don't complaint hot and stuttering..

complaint oso cannot?it is true wad, the driver will not increase the fan speed automatically?how come nid to set it manual?

Hi guys, I was thinking about getting the new HD 6850, but the only thing that confuses me is , Can my Cooler Master eXtreme Power 500W PSU support the HD 6850? Currently running on 9800GT(512MB)
Here are the specs:

i5-760 (2.8Ghz, stock speed)
Gigabyte P55-USB3L
2 X 2GB Kingston DDR3 RAM (1333Mhz)
1TB W.D Caviar Black SATA3 Hard disk
Cooler Master Elite 310 Casing
A network card
DVD-ROM

BTW, I use this computer for gaming. Will it have any problems???

I think that's about it. If anyone knows the answer, please reply below. I would really appreciate it. THANK YOU!!!

i think shud b able to handle 6850 without problem.

just an advice, OC ur processor to 3GHz, easily done wit even stock cooler.
3.0 quad is a gaming sweet spot.

@yijinchua
that psu should ok for minimum requirement..

u said having an issue about temp.. increasing the fan speed is the way to overcome it..
later say noisy

if u eager to learn about it.. google around for the better solution..

yes ,it's powerful enough.the HD6850 isn't a power hogger anyway

speaking of which, how do u determine when a proc/ram is bottlenecking the graphic card, hd68X0

Are you sure guys? I use this computer for gaming and I "GAME" a lot!!! Almost 6 hours a day. XD I know it's too much. DON'T JUDGE ME!!! Anyways, you guys sure??? Cause my old rig broke down because the PSU is not enuf when I installed the 9800GT and I'm scared that it might happen again. And I just bought this computer 2 months ago.

Well.. you can always find that out by overclocking your processor . If a big increase is seen, your processor is bottlenecking the whole system.

is there a chart or a program which could tell u that? overclocking seems alot of work, lol

Well... Overclocking is extremely easy especially with processors that have unlocked multipliers as you won't have to mess with any other thing else other than that thing.

You can always start off by increasing a mere 10MHz to the bus speed .

take a chill pill man,how long you game is your business.
have a look here,the HD6850 only use 1W more power than a 9800GT [peak power consumption].Your PSU should be fine

LOL. 1 W only!
I think even the PSU that yijinchua was using is not really recommended, but still, it's enough for his rig.

6850 able to push to 940MHz

anyone facing stuttering in sc2 for 6870 ?
did not face this problem for 8800gts.

well.. at least stated which game or other pc spec..
it could be driver problem, games or not even related to the hardware itself..

i'm powering up my 6850 with acbel 450w psu. no problem in gaming.
