Did you get the Asus with the stock cooler or the Gigabyte ones? (I'm guessing Asus due to your noise comment but I just want to double check)

no i got the gigabyte SOC one.

its not loud im just VERY precious when it comes to sound. Ive returned plenty of cards due to sound.

Stock speed was 45 and i changed it to 40 and its basically silent and quite cool. Very impressed

i heard the ASUS one is a pig for noise
 
yes the asus one

I got that as i said becaus it was a 2 bay card and not 3 and as i already have a 480 with the arctic cooler fitted i put htat in slot 2 (16x) and the new one in slot 1 also 16x

i am shocked at the temps and there is a gap (small one but a gap non the lease) and the 480 i already had NEVER ran that hot with the stock cooler either

(sorry thought you were talking to me hehe)

to be fair they are covering thier ass incase it blows up. Also the added bonus of getting to you spend more money at OCUK :D

depending on how good this 650w psu is it should be fine

Its the OCZ modular one.
On another note, a 6950 flashed to 6970 can run on 650w psu?

so should i return it>>??

I was thinking of paying a little extra and getting the gigabyte one with the oc pr factory and then using slot 1 and 3 which would be 16x and 8x

I have the asus P6X58-D mobo

the reason i went for this card is that it is 2 bay size and would allow me to use pci-e 1 & 2

if i return it and go for the gigabyte i would HAVE to use slot 1 & 3

The gigabyte card is also two slots. If your current 480 is 3 slots then just put it in the second pcie and put the dual slot in the first slot. If u return the asus and get the gigabyte soc it will only take two slot up
 
cool i will get on to them today

I moved the asus one to the bottom slot on 8x bandwidth and i do get some bottlenecking in frames but it hits 81c when playing mafia (45 to 50 frames average) but that fan revs up and becomes horrible to play the game withought VOLUME in the earphones

hhhhhhm what an annoying card lol

the GIGABYTE SOC has the 3 fan design yes? like the one on overclockers.co.uk

This is the one i am thinking of getting in exchange

Gonna send this crappy asus one back for refund

Cheers Cleeecooo for the advise i thought they were 3 bay cards but now i know they are 2 bay cards so i bought one today
