dang that looks amazing! how are your temperatures?
What are the vreg temps like on the 5970? I'm thinking of getting a cooler for the vregs on my 5870.Hey Slay, long time no see buddy. I have to agree with you there, cold cathodes are more effective, but at the cost of a higher rate of failure and electrical issues. To Sean W.... after running LinX 3 times(default for scoring) at 4510mhz with HT enabled the highest temp recorded was 76c. Unfortunately the score drops considerably with HT enabled. The cpu generally idles at 30c-32c @4.5ghz while reaching 45c-56c while gaming. The videocard (HD5970) never exceeds 32c under full load and idles at 20c-24c. Thank you both for the compliments. Next payday, I'm going to re-route all the wires on the back by twisting and zip tying them. Also I plan to get another 5970 for quad-fire(plus an Nvidia GPU for Hybrid PhysX), and a new PSU thats modular. I have my eye on this one Newegg.com - Antec TPQ-1200 1200W Continuous Power with PowerCache Technology SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply .
