I braved the snow this morning to take a trip to OcUK...

Ok, just ran Crysis for 10 mins and that seems to have stressed them a little more. Still not loud, but can notice them a little. Still not bad though & am more than happy with the noise level
 
The moor was a blanket of white filled with silence this morning. No way going anywhere. So nice one.

Overclocking?
 
Nice : ) i wanted todo two 6950's Also but with it being christmas i lacked the cash so i went for a 6970 and i will get another later :)
 
What is the noise like on the 6900 cards? also what are the temps like, especially in crossfire?
I was looking to get 2 6950s or 2 6970s (maybe 1 at a time like jorzeh) but then read that the cooler isn't as good as it could've been. Now i'm worried that the cards will run loud and/or hot.

So now I'm considering a couple of the pre-order MSI GTX570s. I don't expect them to be cooler or quieter, but I would expect them to perform a little better.

I was going to drive up this morning to RMA a pink cold cathode that was supposed to be red. However, with 90 mins driving through snow on the M6 ahead of me, I decided to put it off till after Xmas.

Heavy night last night Mr K? Unfortunately for me (fortunately for my wife) there is no decent performance PC retailers in the Belfast area to drop into. Purple shirt place don't count. Guess that has saved me a fortune :)

When you get it all up and running can you give us an indication of how loud they are when stressed please Jedi? There is mixed messages online - from quiet to tornado in a box levels

Are there any anywhere in Northern Ireland? I think the rest of the world is too scared to give us proper tech in case we find more inventive ways of killing eachother.

Early fermi cards running furmark and packed full of nails waiting to blow kinda thing.

You went from seemingly an ATI/AMD fanboy to a hardcore hater.
Also, I can safely say you're wrong.
This has been commented on as one of the best launches for a while.
