    I hope someone can clear my logic on this. I was just thinking that the 3870X2 is really shit in terms of cooling. I mean when i have my single 3870, it blows a heck of alot of hot air out of the case. Now wont that single fan(36db at max speed) on X2 be forcing hot air allready from the first gpu onto the second GPU?

    Mucked up?

    Yeah it will be doing that but that's life. The X2 will be quite a bit hotter than a single 3870, and I believe that's why it's underclocked a bit too.

    Shaf, I believe the memory is a bit underclocked then. Whatever don't quote me on this.

    My PC should be gone soon, after than I'm back to my Celeron at 2.6Ghz with 512MB of PC-2700 Ram :(

    Sure go ahead. Just make sure the images are resized so they fit on a 1024x768 screen, because that's what many people use.

    You don't need to reduce the size, just provide the URL to the image rather than attaching it directly. There is also a thread in the safety valve for showing off your setup...

    shaffaaf,
    Image Shack calls theirs "Direct Link" and you just post that, then the size doesn't matter and it takes less time for everything on the forum as it doesn't have to load all the pics, just the URLs! Like this!
    http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/505/1201898514qr9.gif

    It should look like the above URL!


    Best Regards,
    Russ

    i want to see, HD3870X2 CF with HD3870, it should be an interesting result.

    I wonder 9600GT will be faster than HD3870, or atleast HD3850...
