[Don Karnage]

For 125 bucks :biggrin:

I couldn't stop myself guys. Local guy had one for sale. Older guy. No extreme overclocking and i was like what the hell and decided to pick it up. Picking it up tomorrow night to see what she can do on air then we'll switch to water.

Thanks guys. Was just reading over at OCN some guy hit 1150 core on stock air cooling. God damn now i'm excited

Now you just need another one and you can take on the big boys.

Already working on it bro

Only downside is that if i want a waterblock i'll have to order from EK in europe. 141 a piece with shipping. Freakin USD to Euro Conversion rate... :thumbsdown:

Dual gpu noise isn't too bad if you use a reasonable overclock. That's too expensive for the water blocks imo. You would do better with a GTX 680.

680 isn't worth the 500 bucks IMO. Don't get me wrong i'm a big kepler fan but video card prices are getting insane these days. I can afford it but i see no point in it.

I wish someone would review crossfire and overclocked 7850s vs the gtx680.

1200 core 7850s have to put a beating on a 680.

If it weren't overkill I would do it now. I will be waiting for the right moment to buy another one.

1200 core 7970s are putting a beating on 680, not sure about 7850s...
