400 is 400 watts. Regardless of lithography. That's not something you want to do with stock air cooler though. Especially with two cards, sitting in close proximity with each other. It’s fine. With the fans manually set to 100%, with additional 120mm both at the rear and front of the cards, in an …

Ah, mine won’t break 262 and it’s not a temperature issue :( Doesn’t look like 4-way CrossfireX is enough to compensate for the overhead of Windows 7 vs XP. A touch higher than on XP, but definitely not a whole HD5970s worth! IMG_2989.png Nice and quiet though… 7 fans at 100% http://vogons. …

Dialing FSB back to 262 made the rig stable enough to complete 3DM 2003 - it never finished at 263. Stock GPU clocks. Interesting that the highest I can get on any motherboard with my Presler is 262FSB. My memory will go higher, and the chipset will go higher (with a Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual-Core …

So, during the initial in-period reviews of this card, it was touted that the card was an overclocking behemoth, and that the limiting factor was the 300W envelope that couldn't be broken by the OEM (ATI) to maintain compliance with PCIe specs. The card was capable of dissipating 400W in it's vapour …

Surely it was impossible for that resistor to have existed AND a flush surface mount inductor present as well? Likely a PCB that was also used for another Radeon product where the resistor existed but the inductor didn’t.

Nah. 32-bit. XP64 wasn’t widely supported, if you need 64-bit application support, use 7.

Thought I might as well throw up a 3DM2k3 score, seeing as there's only one on the board so far! Maybe 2K3 could benefit from a newer GPU, but with this setup hitting 2300FPS at one point during the "Battle of Proxycon", maybe not.

Retaken the 2001SE top score, for now, I'm sure Supercordo will be back shortly to knock me down a peg. I think the drivers for the HD5000 series are just a touch too new both to be optimized for DX8.1 and the additional overhead on the CPU. I really need a card from the X19xx (1900XT/XTX, 1950XT/ …

Liberated an Abit AW9D-MAX from the mother-in-laws garage. God knows how long it’s been there, probably since the late 2000s? 2007-2008. She’s a smoker, and it’s ruddy disgusting, but I’ll clean it up and give it a shot. It’s even got some of my old Hyper-X PC2-8500 in it. No idea what CPU is in it …
