Yeah, I mean this thing runs icy cold compared to any of the 4870's I've had.

Cool cards, seems like the best thing out right now.. But I am happy with my HD 4870 1G, spent 250 bucks for it at the time, and it is still kick ass. Congrats to anyone who has one though.

I am outside running my system at 0*c and video cards are around 16*c
poor man's LN2 I am freezing my arse off for you guys i hope you will still respect me in the morning I will brin screen shots and pics in a bit

Has anyone else tried the ASUS BIOS on a different brand? rx7racer has me a little worried that other cards might not take the extra voltage as well. Just trying to feel around for what the best options are before I buy in the next few days.

Edit - Also can someone with crossfire run their cards in 8x mode. I'm highly debating getting two 4890's and I want to see what kind of hit it'll take (if any). I just got this EP45-UD3P I don't want to buy ANOTHER new motherboard. ><

thats it...u guys and ur new video cards are forcing me to sell my 2 hd4850s and but these 2 hd4890. Hopefully by the time I actually sell both of my 4850s the price will drop a little. I was gonna invest in a solid state drive, a tb, or external hard drive. But im pushn those back until the summer b/c these cards look killer!

I sold my UD3P (well one of them anyway) and picked up an X48 board for that reason (and I got a new P5E Deluxe for $170 CAD, hard to resist at that price).
