Yeah Gibbo all the screws are as they should be , It's when the fans go to between 40 to 50% the card rattles .

And I have to be honest with you I did add some rubber washers to the screws in the hope it would fix the issue...but it made little difference.


Ah if its just at a certain percentage that is no doubt the actual fan itself, with how quiet these cards are and cool just set a fixed fan speed of 35% and as long as it does not go over 85c, that is fine, or set 55% as that is still not so loud and will no doubt keep it sub 70c. :)
 
Mike

Thanks for that, glad to see Sapphire addressed it, doing as I said should fix the resonance with fixed fan speeds or the customer can just RMA it. :)
 
bit of a Bummer for long term customers, who just live to far away.

Public transport or car?

If I still lived in Portsmouth, I'd be setting off at 5am to be here for 7:30am and then queuing outside the door for the chance to grab one of those 295 X2 for a £300 saving.

Having driven to Portsmouth and back a lot, I could do it in the Mustang for £80, so still worth it! :)
 
If AMD would sort the low thermal-limit out on the 295X I'd probably queue for one :cool:

But 75c is a bit low for this heat :(

On just a single 295 X2 you rarely hit this limit, even in this heat.

The only way we can get them to hit this limit is in quadfire, with both the CPU under stress and looping Heaven, that is in a very humid area in our office which is around 30c.

So a single card in a room under 25c should rarely hit the throttle limit. :)

You know you want one! :D

All 30 gone already? FML :(

At £400 I couldn't say no, would have forgotten all about the swift at that price.

Nope not gone!
You can't buy one until Saturday and ONLY in our store on the day, we don't expect to sell all 30 on the day to be honest so this deal should last the day. :)
 
All the deals are in a locked cage ready for our shop event on Saturday.

I am having to fend staff off after those mega cheap 295 X2's and 290's. ;)
 
Insane deals, I have to admit I wasn't going to go, but I had to ask myself, "do you feel lucky punk!?" and the answer was yes so I will give it a go.

Like the deal on the AOC and the free processor with R7 gfx card is mental.

(Now just need them to a crazy deal on a tri monitor stand and a G27 and i'm sorted for life!)

We have loads of the AOC 4k monitors, doubt we will run out on the day even at the £399 price. :)
 
Hope you have a religious figure also turning up to keep dividing the slices for the many that turn up.

Any chance Nvidia will be gate crashing the party?

NVIDIA will arrange their own party at a future date at OcUK HQ. :)
