Quite a lot yep, and takes a very very slight amount less power but nothing that's considerable tbh

That is not the right card to be comparing to.

Yes my 560ti is faster because of the same core count as a 570

Yes, hence my link to Anandtech is for the GTX570 comparison.

Have made him an offer.

Will purchase a 212 Hyper as well. WD black the one to go for?

They are overpriced really, one of these would do;

YOUR BASKET
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £66.98
1 x Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6GB/s 64MB Cache - OEM (DT01ACA200) HDD £61.99
Total : £138.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Probably a bit slower but definitely not worth the extra for the WD black if you aren't trying to squeeze every ounce out

Yes they are.

5 year warranty too, the others are much less

infernox · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:02

I stray from Seagate where I can. They have stupidly high failure rates here at work. 5 year warranty sounds nice. Not too worried about a tenner or so.

stulid · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:04

I use WD 2Tb black here (as well as others) it is quick.

infernox · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:05

I love my Samsung F3s tbh. Shame they don't make them no more?

Nope.

Hmm £99 for a WD Black. There must be a build quality difference if they are £40 more than the Hitachi Drive.

stulid · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:11

2TB or 3TB?

infernox · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:14

2TB £109

stulid · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:15

Well the WD black has a warranty 5 times greater than the Toshiba (which is just 1 year)

infernox · 19 Jan 2015 at 21:21

That would explain it. Will look at my options. But most likely going to be the WD Black.

infernox · 21 Jan 2015 at 18:51

My new (well not new) GTX 670 should be here soon. Gonna order the heatsink too. Hard drive will have to wait a little. Give me an excuse to put in my new motherboard tray Parvum sent me

I might put some pics up if anyone's interested.

stulid · 21 Jan 2015 at 18:55

Get them up.

Give the card a clean too, looked a bit dusty around the fan.

infernox · 21 Jan 2015 at 19:26

Suggest I pull the cooler off or just give it a spray?

Thats what i would do, maybe even some fresh paste if you have the necessary cleaning stuff and suitable paste to put on it.

I have isopropl. Did have some mx-3 I think. Might have to get some more. Any one use pads for the MOSFETs or anything?
