Thats one reason I use them living local delivery is great but having to fit your day around collection is a pain. Though have to resist buying other toys when in the shop.

@Gibbo any more news on when more Zotac AE cards are due in and how many ?

Thanks in advance buddy

 

[Hoddy67]

@Gibbo Have you any news on the Gigabyte cards? everything seems to have gone quiet since the first small dispatch of them. mainly the Xtreme

 

[Footyslayer]

Does anyone know what that blue flashing surface mount led is mounted behind the back metal shroud on the board is ? For the amp extreme ?

Would like to know this myself!

If you were a real HHGTTG fan then you'd know it wasn't right

If it was some sort of board check indicator you'd have thought it would just stay lit, the flashing makes it look like a fault on the board somewhere ?

Yeah it certainly helped make me think I had a dud card when installing it!

42 isnt it?

For the one that thinks I'm imagining it when i say i can't hear the fans on the amp extreme even when pushing it source tweaktown

"When it comes to cooling, ZOTAC is king - at 2GHz and 12GHz for the GPU and GDDR5X, respectively - our card was hitting 67C maximum with the fans barely making any noise at all"

Maybe I'm going deaf and can't hear them lol.

This I don't agree with, and its actually making me consider cancelling my order. Why should people who order different cards be put in front of other people's orders because they change their minds? If you change cards then you should go to the back of the queue for that card.

You dont have to make veiled references lol, there is a quote function.

Tweaktown dont do db testing and they've only tested 2 cards even. Other sites do and place it with 1db of other custom cards.
I didnt say you were imagining anything, just pointing out that without an actual comparable test, you paraphrasing tweaktown saying "my purchase was the best because a reviewer said so without any actual test results to back it up" doesnt actually hold much water.

I'm not saying the amp extreme isnt a good card, it just seems overpriced compared with other cards that can do 2050mhz at around 40db

wasnt really a case of changing my mind was more sacrificing the card i wanted for another. i was due to be in the first wave of STRIX cards and i was pushed out of the que due to not having both my items in stock at the same time and missing out id rather have my strix and the zotac but if i stuck with my order id prob end up going with out either for months my preorder was made on the 13th march for both

You made an assumption that because 1 person says his pc is quiet and sounds like a helicopter that nobody is correct ? I've never owned a zotac card before but helping others with their decision, the amp extreme has the thickest heat sink I've ever seen and shows it's not there for show because I've never felt so much heat coming from a gpu that on mine anyway sits at 66c at full load, the hest sink is doing a fantastic job of dissipating the heat away from the core.

It's really not that relevant, in the end your order was put before others who ordered that card before you. I'm not having a go at you, it's the system OCUK are using that is wrong.
