    Scythe Musashi... http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/vga/002/scvms1000_detail.html It was absolutely silent on my HD4870, even with fans on full blast. In a closed case though. Also, I kept the stock plate on to cool the VRMs. EK2K

    Smallest Radiator to cool a 5870

    So Swiftech has a link to a discontinued Micro rad with performance curves... http://www.swiftnets.com/products/MCR80-qp.asp ...and one of the curves shows that their rad can dissipate 140W of heat at 1 gal/min. The XSPC pump is rated at 200 Liters/hour or about 0.9 gal/min. Extrapolating...

    Smallest Radiator to cool a 5870

    So I've got a small case (LL V351) and would like to keep everything inside and water cool my 5870. The main purpose being to lose some noise and heat (inside the case). I'm thinking the XSPC single bay pump/rez combo, full cover EK block or equal, and a single 120 rad with a quiet fan. The...

    P5Q Pro/HD4870 only feeding stereo audio through coax/HDMI, respectively?

    I use SPDIF optical out on the mobo straight into my receiver? Video is sent directly to my 46" Samsung via HDMI. I read your specs and saw you're using z5500 and not a receiver. Sorry couldn't be of more help. EK2K

    i7 920 too hot for a v351?

    While not as good as some, I feel the V351 has good airflow...certainly good enough! You could drop an H50 in there to suck up some of that heat EK2K

    The 5800 series aftermarket cooling thread.

    I think the fan only auto-adjusts if it's plugged into the video card...like the stock cooler. Of course there are other methods to accomplish that, but since the cooler is so quiet, just run the fans at max! EK2K

    If you plan on crossfire, also be aware that some of these coolers will block the bridge connector. I loved my musashi for GPU temps, but it dumped a lot of heat into the case! EK2K

    Given all the speculation about Fermi cost/performance/yields, when do you think I'll be able to actually get one after launch? I know there's a ton of things at play to answer that question certainly, but if I get a rough idea, I can start socking away some cashish (i.e., $20/week from now...

    What's the best way to do continuous GPU temp logging?

    The manual for the M4A78T-E has some detailed setup in BIOS for enabling Xfire, Section 5.2. I would try removing the NIC card and running tests. Peace, EK2K
