mine reach 100C for jst playing SUDEKI (fan speed set at fix 35)

Crysis, will reach 100C easily with the stock fan speed of 25-30

very hot card indeed.

I have tried ATI tool to set fan speed, auto fan speed wont work. Switch back to RIVA tunner and set it to Fix 40 for the moment.

anyone here can recommend the fix fan speed for Sapphire 3870?

set at least 60% fan speed when play games . 60% noisy is acceptable .

thanks for the recommendation.

how bout the fan speed when idle(normal usage, no games) ?

I got a problem here...
after I install all the driver for 3850,
all the things working fine...

but afterward I realise I cant open the CCC,
anyone here know the reason of this??

had the same issue, uninstall all of your ati stuff. reboot and install back,
make sure you have dot net framework 2.0 before reinstalling.

guys.. i need come help regarding which PSU is better for my HIS 3870

Either Enermax Liberty 500W or Gigabyte Odin GT 550W?
I've got some bad comments on the Enermax (I heard Enermax is a very good brand). Need more info on Gigabyte Odin (I need real experience rather than just google)

Pls advice and help me...

gigabyte odin is damn good. made by delta (world largest psu manufacturer).
my next psu will be gigabyte odin 800gt.

Had the same problem. I uninstall every ATI possible, including registry edits and manually looked up every .dll available, but it still happens. In the end, I just forget about it and just install the drivers without the CCC. I use Rivatuner instead.

Tried this b4,
same thing still happened...
uninstall and install the .net framework 2.0
then install the CCC driver,
still happen...

might just stick with riva tuner >.<

Hi there

How reliable is the HD 3850

By that I am thinking of

-Cf worth it or not?
- Heat Problems?
- Bios need to be Flashed or not?
Some Pls are complaining about the CCC not responding?

Do not Flame me I just ask As I wish to join the Dark Side to and again
Tonton

CF 2 card performance is around 8800GTX ^^
think it urself...

the heat is not a really a issue for me,
for idle, it is superb!
for load, abit high actually..

i think no need to flash bios,
and wat bios u need to flash? >.<

Hi there

Reading the page B4 I am sure that some Pls are speaking about it, as I am a noob I ask B4 my spending

No arms donne yet?

you have to install the whole ati software.
reinstall the one u have from ur cd.
and only then install the latest catalyst that you download.
try it. i beleive it will work. thanks,

sorry guys, need some advice... is it better to run 3870 crossfire or better to wait for 3870x2?
i'm really confused...

We can't say for sure until it out...

Do you have any real life expr on the Giga Odin PSU?

How about others? Anyone?...

I have to decide by this weekend.. Enermax or Gigabyte

By the way, my spec is as follows:

Core:
AMD64 X2 5200+/Intel DuoCore E4500
2*1GB XMS2 Corsair DDR2 800Mhz
ATI HIS 3870 512MB DDR4 (single GC only)
160 GB HDD
Gigabyte mobo
Audigy 2 ZS sound card

Accessories:
2*120mm LED fan
4*80mm LED fan
2*UV light
2*cold cathode light

Misc : DVD-rom, CD-rom, DVD-writer

Well I run nearly similar setup and ST56F is well and stable for my usage.
Great PSU I must say and price only at 330.

I vote for gigabyte Odin GT,
btw, this is 3850/3870 thread

just killing time... ...

HD3870 on A64 3000+ setup

U meant Giga Odin or ST65F?
I thought Odin is around RM465?
