hurm thinking of changing my HD4870x2 GC cooler...any idea which aftermarket cooler should i go for?

hurm..any dealer on water cooling?shat brand do we have here at malaysia..i only know DD(danger den)..

Thanks bro for the kind words.

Just wondering how many of you all choose Gainward 4850 GS & 4870 GS because of the:

1. Performance: factory overclocked core & mem. Gainward has the fastest 4850 atm.

2. Cooling: covered fansink with nickel plated heatpipes for 4850 GS and dual fans + 3 heatpipes for 4870 GS.

3. Unique features: 4870 GS with display port and dual BIOS for you to set 2 speeds, improved power supply, Expertool OC & fan control with temp monitoring etc.

We know in Europe the main reason Gainward 4850 GS was a super hot seller is because of the performance (factory-overclocked core & mem).

What were the main reasons you guys choose Gainward? (remind me of the love scene where the girl ask the guy why he choose her over others  )

Are there any non reference 4870x2 around yet? 

zhen^wei, kasi test with furmark stability test. (Using renamed furmark.exe to something like furmark1.exe since ccc8.8 and later was designed to cheat on this stressing program )

xpresside, is this available here in Malaysia?

it happens only on some of the gc in the older batch.. the new batch won't not have this problem and it is better than the older batch.

well...if there is a bad gc, have no fear...netraid is there for you...to help you...like he did in the first batch....anyway there is no such thing as 100% faulty free gc...is just depend on your luck....not all the ppl in the older batch has the problem...
