Worth a look - see my old 4890!

Yup, the 4890 I sold you was a triple slot design, mostly because of the heatsinks, and with those chunky fans you placed on it probably a little bigger now. I don't know the last time I took the heatsinks off, you could put some thermal paste on the underneath of them and that will reduce your temps by quite a bit.

I noticed you bought a Asus Crosshair II board, those are geared up for Trifire so would work with that...but looking like a good system you've built so far.

The Furmark settings you are looking for are the stability test with 'xtreme burn mode' and 'post effects'. Those will push your card.

Yeah, I'm having two systems now. One is Asus Crosshair III Formula (like yours) plus AMD Phenom II X4 B50, two is Asus P6T plus i7 920 (the above rig in pics).
If you guys are looking for thermal pads, take a look at this, quite cheap and free shipping offered: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.35819

Nice mod. Ugly but if it works and keeps that fiery 4890 under control then it's all good.

I'm sorry but ghetto cooling is never ugly. It's taking what you've got and making the best of it. I see it as beauty :p.

Also for the reason that you look at the screen when a PC is powered on. How many times do you switch your tower on then sit and look at your motherboard?.

Exactly. I win :p.
