    Asus HD 7970 DirectCU II TOP owners - how loud is your card at idle?

    I have the same card in an antec 902 with all Apaches blacks other than the top 200mm fan, and if the apaches are at 50% then i can here them easily over the 7970. At idle my card sits at 10% fan, 29-31c and to be honest i can hear it at all. it doesnt really become noticable above the case...

    Asus 7970 DirectCU Top... a bit smelly

    Thanks for the idea, I tried latest GPU-Z version, and a few older ones before it but it doesnt seem to support VRM monitoring for the Asus cards, every other 7970 make seems to be supported though. Unless im using the wrong versions lol. Currently on 0.7.3. The built in GPU-z on the card doesn...

    Asus 7970 DirectCU Top... a bit smelly

    Hi there all :) I recently ordered one of the Asus DirectCUII TOP from oc.uk. They were so cheap I couldnt help myself, before i knew it my credit card was out and it was on my doorstep soon after. Great card, seriously nippy. I was wondering if anyone else out there has one of these cards and...

    Upgrade advice for GTX275 --> 7870/7950 or 660TI?

    Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the 7950. Yet its been a long time since i had a ATI card. Ive only had two ATI cards over the years, a 8500 and a X850GTO, both were amazing cards for the money... drivers were a bit pants but I dont mind when the card is that good :)

    Upgrade advice for GTX275 --> 7870/7950 or 660TI?

    Hi there all :) After years of my old GTX275 playing everything I threw at it Crysis 3 means i have a valid excuse for replacing it, as it doesnt support DX11 :( Im a bit confused as to what to buy as I only game at 1680x1050 so I dont think I need anything amazingly fast, and I only have...

    Intel HD2000, does it support HDMI audio over its DVI?

    Weird, do u mean I wont get audio out of the DVI on a HD2000 Mobo or all DVI connectors in general? As Ive gotten audio out of my GTX275 DVI port, as I hooked up my Main pc to the tv and had audio using the same cable and adapter that the HD2000 PC is using From my understanding from a few...

    Intel HD2000, does it support HDMI audio over its DVI?

    Hi all I have a small PC next to the TV with a Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3 Intel H61 Mobo in it, up until recently it was hooked up to a grubby 28" Toshiba TV via the TV's VGA connector and a 3.5mm for audio. Well I finally blew off the cobwebs from my wallet and splashed out on a new TV, yay :)...

    ** 2GB GFX RAM VS 1GB GFX RAM IN BF3 (560Ti 1GB VS 560Ti 2GB) TESTING RESULTS!

    *scrounger alert* If you forsee a overstock of 1GB cards, does this mean a few discounts on them in the coming months? ...... or should I just steal the money from the wifes purse as per usual, and get a 560ti 1GB, i only ever game at 1650x1050 tbh?

    PWM Fan splitter Question

    Hi there :) I currently have a Antec 902 Case with its orginal Antec fans. The system is now pretty close to where I sit, having been banished to under the table for years. I'm finding the antec fans a bit noisy and I'm sick of having to get up and mess around with the manual fan controls...

    Who's still on I7 1366?

    I love my i7 920, one of the best bang-for-buck buys I think ive made since i bought a AMD Axia or my Radeon 8500 :) My 920 runs at stock speeds for most of the time, I only crank it up to 4.2 if i'm gaming. Yet a lot of the time i forget and i hardly notice the difference tbh... so i cant see...

    Thinking about rebooting my life

    I'd go down the Open Uni path whilst keeping your job. As i had a brain fart 5 years ago and dumped my well paid cushy IT job for Uni. I'm now a unemployed BSc :) 5 years out of IT is pretty much a death sentence to your bank account, especially in the current climate. Stick with your job...
