I was looking to put an aftermarket cooler on my 1156, but the one I want looks pretty big, and I wanted to make sure it didn't block any of the RAM slots. Tuniq 120 Extreme Anyone got any ideas?

It seems that the stock 470, stock 6870, and OC 460 all perform very similarly, and can be found within $10 of each other. By default, I would likely eliminate the 470 due to heat/power/noise complaints... I guess I can research more into the 6870 design when info becomes available. And also...

I've been looking into them, I'm thinking I should perhaps wait until next month then, to see what even the new 69xx cards look like and maybe a small price drop for 68xx? I'd also want to see some of the new editions that come out for the 6850 in a few weeks time... I want to compare noise and...

Oooo I'll have to look into that, thanks!

Anyone have some advice?
