    Noctua NH-D14 Mounting position

    I have finally replaced my old i7 2600K stock fan with NH-D14. My first impression with NH-D14 is, wow it is a big guy when the sales hand it over to me. It cost me 90AUD in sydney. but I am very happy with its performance. anyway, back to the topic, I shouldn`t worry much about the way it...

    Radeon HD 6790 unlocked to 32ROPS

    it is not just ROPS, the unlocked card has better spec then a standard HD6850, think about the performance of 6790 and HD6850. It will probably as good as HD6870 if cooling isn`t a problem, but we will have to see until the bios is released to the public and do a full benchmark test.

    Sapphire HD 6850 Idel Temp too high

    does anyone know if memory is stressed at max Mhz would lower the life span of video card? I am sure there are people using dual or 3 monitors like myself and operates at 24/7 a day. if you are able to lower the memory cloak during idle on dual monitor setup, that would be less power/heats. but...

    Sapphire HD 6850 Idel Temp too high

    after removing second monitor cable attached to the video card, the GPU-Z has reported that GPU is idle at 100 and Memory cloak 300. So dual monitor is the reason that causing memory cloak maxed at 1000Mhz. I think this also explains why I have burned my ATI9800PRO/6800GT/6600GT, I have been...
