i have all these problems and i got my card early as well. Wondering why netraid has not replied my pm

hmm... HD4870x2 GS to compete with Asus HD4870x2 ROG version... wonders who's gonna be the verdict?

thanks for the reply netraid will bring the card over when i have the time cheers

tell you guys something...

i just got myself Colin McRae's DiRT....it's a rally game...maxed out the graphic....play 10 mins terus the rig power off... =.= ...

i honestly think it's cuz its getting too hot...cuz when i tried to switch power on back straight after it turned off...kenot..wait 1 min...then baru boleh..

enter XP the CCC shows the heat was 76C ... sigh... any good custom cooler to recommend?

i think it's also due to the fact that i maxed out everything


p/s : if it's not due to heat ... could it be caused by psu not enuff juice? zzzz....damn blur now

well about that game,i can run it on max setting on this spec

e2180@3.2ghz@1.425v
4gb ram
Gainward 9800 GT
2 hdd
550w Huntkey Greenstar

and my max gc temp on load is only 61'c.
i dont know how that gonna help you but if u think ur psu is better than my cheap psu maybe its other thing that caused the sudden shut down.and ur temp of 79'c on load is still ok.i read somewhere that the old 8800 ultra reach 100'c on load.

I doubt that it is overheating at 76C though. My 3870(yes, its a different card but just for an example) and 7300GT had been running over 80c at times as well but no sign of it showing overheating problem though. What PSU are you using anywya?

Dun know why my package as promised to be delivered today have not reach my door yet?

I have order the Gainward HD4850 GS and expected to be fixed in all by tomorrow.... now look like I have to be very disappointed liao....

ai yo , must sabar la ai yo haha

Bro, how to sabar lah, becos I'm been informed can reached by today mah.....then must be expecting loh........

Hey bro,

I dun think it's due to heat, like the guys said: 76C to 90C till fine. Personally, I know overclockers who played till over 100C and still card didn't burn. But of course we don't recommend it lar for long term maintenance.

Normally if too hot, PC will hang, flicker, artifacts or lose display (blackout). But it will not power off. Suggest you use either 3DMark06 or Furmark and stress your GC then see is your rig power off. If not, then most probably it's due to your PSU not insufficient power.

Unless you are using Gainward Expertool under safe mode settings and your rig is hot internally. Then Expertool will auto-shutdown your PC when it gets too hot.

For nice coolers, take a look at Moderno PC superb choices: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/750189

Maybe sell off your reference and go for Gainward 4850 Golden Sample lor... See this: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1607/16/g...card/index.html

wahhh...poison poison...hehehe...

yeah...i was also thinking of psu not enuff juice..zzz... mine 390w oni leh..hahaha...must be lah...but then again temp around 70+ all the time is also not good i think...zzz...will try furmark first... if heat's not the prob then buy psu dulu...haihzzz...

buy the psu first.
get those Huntkey is quite ok already.
a few member here use it even with e8400 no problem whatsoever.

Ya, I think the PSU not enough juice for you. I have bought the 800watt PSU.
Hopefully not problem.

I just noticed this part! Seriously no high pitch sound? Means my unit faulty? When you online MSN PM me >.< I want confirm it before I ask zhen^wei.

I got high pitch sound during loading the splash screen in Crysis. Weird

tried with furmark...but zz forgot to take screenshot...stability test for 20 mins ....temp reaching a dangerous level of 91 @.@

so i guess it's not temp prob...psu la means...zzz...

ya know i don really have confidence with huntkey hehe...my honest opinion... no offence...
so maybe try spend a bit higher lo...

aiming on psu like

1) CM Real Power 550w
2) Silverstone Strider ST56F
3) Vantec Real Power Supply ION2+ 600W


actually aiming for the last one...cheapest ma...anyone here using Vantec Real Power Supply ION2+ 600W..ok? good?

Frankly I thought is the PSU having compatibility issues with the GC, but since aric_68 said his is alright... that means maybe mine's faulty

Told you so loooooooooong time ago...

Dun lar test test try to repair it sendiri. Got swap swap oso dun want.

So when coming?

zhen^wei tell me cannot RMA le due to noise the other time when I asked him

I'm from Melaka =/ and exams coming soon don't know when only can go to your office lor. If cannot arrange then after Hari Raya holidays I'll send it by courier already (last choice ). I just send it to the same address that you guys sent to me right?

If my PSU indeed faulty... I shall go for something better ._. lol Coolermaster Real Power M520 looks real sexy to me .

huntkey PSU seems cheap and worth for the price if you believe in what the manufacturer claims
but in reality the PSU only has 70% efficiency and is using obsolete design, low quality components, and kinda unsafe as well; the 450W version exploded after loading it beyond 360W.
