Sounds to me like you know what you need to do, and if you go with anything but a 2G 4890 you'll be compromising. From your description it seems like you've picked the right card too. I know, patience sucks.
I too have moved toward quiet fans instead of powerful ones. One fan that's supposed to be pretty quiet is the Noctua NF-P12 for cpu coolers and the NF-S12 for cases. I haven't tried one yet but I plan to get one at the end of the week to try out.
You can't make a bad choice here as both chips are great. There just isn't enough of a performance difference to worry about it too much IMO. The dual will outperform the quad in most circumstances, and when the quad beats the dual it will blow it away. It equals out in the end. Mostly...
That's exactly the sort of response you're liable to get with the approach you've taken. I mean you've started a thread to debase a popular card and you've done it in obnoxious fashion. I can't think you'd actually believe that you would get praised for that.
Understand that I don't have...
The response he has drawn here is probably typical of his "uncivil" and aggressively single-minded approach. Who has he convinced with his argument? None that I see. Using facts, intelligent conclusions and persuasive yet respectful arguments are the way to win people over IMO. His abrasive...
Congrats to the guys that just picked up this great case, especially at that great price!
BTW I ended up adding a PCI blower fan over the PSU to try and catch some of the heat it generates before it wafts up to the GPU, and now I'[m probably going to add a fan controller.
Temperature designations can vary so they need to be identified. When stress testing Tcase comes closest in temperature to core/s, chipset is next highest and motherboard is the coolest.
On the flipside Tuniq customer service is atrocious. If Thermalrite provides any sort of customer service then it's a viable option, and I noticed that unlike Tuniq they offer replacement parts.
Both will work really really well. They are at the top of the HSF food chain. The Thermalrite does perform better than the Tuniq, but only slightly. The Tuniq is cheaper but also much larger. You have to make sure you have room for the Tuniq.
I've had mine for over a month now and it's a great case. For those of you saying you wouldn't pay over $50 for it, what are your other options? This will stomp on anything in it's price range and probably still come out ahead of anything twice it's price.
Here's another review from...
I've got the TT Purepower 500W, and it sucks air from underneath the case and blows it out the back, but I noticed that some heat still rises from the PS and I believe one of these PCI blowers placed strategically between the PS and the video card would help lower temperatures. Really I'm just...
Anyone here use one? I'm thinking about buying one. My PS is on the bottom of my case and I'm thinking one of these might expel the PS heat before it rises to the GPU.
Look, if I turn my Tuniq Tower 120 all the way up it's extremely noisy. That is not BS. I didn't go into the physics behind the noise, just that the noise is present. To suggest that you cannot cool without noise is the BS. Have you ever had 80mm case fans then moved to 120mm ones?
I'll...
Sounds like DOA. I just updated the bios on my DS3L using Gigabyte's @bios and got the same thing. Had to RMA the damn thing with ClubIt and they're supposed to send it out today.
BTW first post- hey everyone!
