of course.

the seller is banyak efficient in replying my msg as well. deal done in less than 10min of whatsapp.

initially thought getting the dcu ii version from GS @ rm850 only. but after reading review, the heatsink sucks due to the pipe only have contact with 3 pipes instead of all 5.

nope i haven oc, my casing is too small and air circulation is bad. At full load on shadow of mordor my gpu temp ranges from 70-73 at 60% fan speed. I need to change my case badly.

Seller is super efficient, very easy to delal with him, did u get the tri x box? he told me other sellers wont be getting the box sudah habis stock kotak kuning all kotak merah after that.

that temp not bad. my previous 780ti dcu ii asus even reach 80C at 80% fan speed.
juz unbox it, its a red box. didnt told me about the box....but hell, its fine for me. the card is all that matters.

The benchmark kinda glitch out on me.
My friend's 970 also dropped frame rates while driving so it's not really AMD exclusive though his minimum is slightly higher than mine.

On what setting? My 7950 still in box.

Is that manual fan speed? 60% is quite loud imo. My card usually ran around 30+% fan speed around 72C.

Tri-X can run fine at 80-82 C. At 81 C the auto fan speed will be set at 50-56%

50% fan speed is the speed that is slightly louder than my case fans.

What case are you using?
I used small case last time with bad circulation but I have aircon so it wasn't a problem then haha.

Headset > gpu noise / Loud speaker > gpu noise

try powercolor 6950 fan. accidentally forget to reset my msi AB configuration to auto and when i game, it freaking sound like a JET
running at 80% speed coz i set my previous gc after aboev 70% = 1C = 1% increment.

I'm actually using apply earpods or other iem when i use my pc.

But with the earpods i'm still sensitive to the outside noise haha.

My sister's pc with the hd5830 is very loud, i can hear it across my room. Poor GPU must be running like mad lol.

Since my bad experience with reference r9 290, i phobia with r9 issues so always want to keep it cool.

My case is maxed out already need a better one

I think your PC case is good enough for the card.

I was using Silverstone PS-08, a lot smaller lol. It can survive in air cond room but not in normal room haha.

AMD Driver overhead

I3 4130 with GTX 750 Ti beating I3 4130 with R9 280 and there no excuse for this plain and simple

Vice versa, enjoy the SLI overhead on the 980.

Anyone using R9 280 would've bought i5 4460 already

It's all about the balance. No overhead problems if people pairs a balanced system. Not to mention Nvidia tax on their cards.

What do you expect from nvidia fanboy? They will always try to find a way to make AMD look like shit compare to the glorious nvidia.

I got no ac

its silent bro and as cool as watercooling

I have no more AC too now, so I switched to Silverstone Kublai casing, temps are really good even without OC

can u recommend a bang for buck case that will greatly improve air flow, i use to own a corsair carbide 500r for my watercool setup i gave up due to maintenance cost and very leceh , air cool now ftw .

This case of mine has survived like 3-4 systems and is very old, its so compact at the cpu cooler area until i cant fit 2 more 120mm fans on the top side to exhaust air out. I have 3 input fans and only 1 output fan.

I'm planning to change my casing to CM Haf XB Evo. Any complaint or better alternative at similar price point?

Any comparison between i3 + 960 and i3 + 285?

Or i3 + 750 ti and i3 + 270?

No idea, I liked mine because it is only RM330 and it got easily removable fan filter on all fan slots except the rear (which doesn't need one anyway).

You have to see which one suits you best. One of the best airflow case is Carbide Air 540 but it is almost cube shaped, loud and expensive at RM500.

i will try to find more.
