Xfire

[oldestgregg]

Hello peeps,
I have an Xfire set up at the moment which is a Gigabyte WF 7970 on top and a reference model XFX card on the bottom. Neither card is overclocked but since I got the WF it has made me realise how loud the ref model card is. Now, I can sell the xfx card and it would only cost me £70 to get another WF but would heat then become an issue running 2 of the WF style cards? Spacing on the mobo is not a problem. The ref model is louder at 50% than the wf is at 100%!

Yeah, I have the Corsair 650d case. I just thought that with the heat coming from the sides of these cards the top one would get a bit hotter?

 

[oldestgregg]

Sorry Tommyboy, the reason for selling the ref card is noise so so I'm not gonna put another cooler on the WF to make it louder am I?

 

[oldestgregg]

I already have fan profiles set up now and they work fine with the ref card on the bottom

 

[oldestgregg]

Ah! Well that makes more sense. Dont really have the space though and I love the WF and how quiet it is.

 

[oldestgregg]

Get them both under water Greggg. Noise is great and cooling would allow for extra clock speeds.

To be honest, single g Gregg, I would love to but I dont have the first clue about it! I'm out of work at the moment and the £70 to change cards is a lot easier to get hold of than £? to watercool

 

[oldestgregg]

Haha, Greggwarz! (see the liitle dig there as well)

Another little question if I may? I have dropped my XFX back from the ghz bios to stock and the voltage now says 1169 in Afterburner. Is this right as I thought it was lower than that and I cant for the life of me find out what stock voltage is anywhere

 

[oldestgregg]

How much do you think it would be for a starters kit? And would I have to put my CPU under water as well?

 

[oldestgregg]

Thanks for that

Would a side exhaust not bugger up the front to back airflow on my 650d though?
