@Sabenarian
ThermalRight HR-03 is way to go , it's a very good cooler either actively cool or passive or else, Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 (IIANM)

set the fan speed fixed at 60%, i don't think it will shoot up to 80C anymore.

the top of the line should be Thermalright HR03 GT (Rm210) or you can go for Artic Accelero S1 (RM110).

Hmmm...but those results are subjective. We really can't say that it is scientific findings. The control group results are not included as well... Nothing objective can be concluded from that challenge.

lol..i wanna see "but turn to page 38.."

Hey guys, just curious, will I see any significant performance increase if I upgrade to Radeon 3870 from my current geforce 8800gts 320mb? Thanks.

nothing much if you compare them at stock speed.

unless you want better image quality, that's another story.

suggest you hold the horse first, the 3870x2 is coming soon.

HIS HD3870 iceQ turbo 512MB (no OC vga, only OC proc)

price oso x2 ler
i wait till the 3870 to be 500 lol

8800GTs 320mb > 3870 have quite some improvement espeacially on large resolution, 320mb of video memory os too limited.

FPS wise not much increase but u get a better image quality in display

I never used the 320MB version but I have used both MSI & Gigabyte 8800GTS 640MB and
only thing I can comment is 3870 is better in image quality and 2900xt is smoother in gameplay.

Then I guess I just hold on to it for now. Thanks for the feedback guys.

If I were you Id sell before the p8800gts price become too low.

Hahaha... nles wanna "ghey" along with me? But you picked to step ahead of me too far away man .

I received the news that the stock arrived just a few hours before I'm going outstation for a few days. Thus all I can do only reserve the unit with him and will getting it delivered to my hand on Tues. Kinda a good day to assemble the new rig up since Wed is public holiday .
