I used to be a big fan of the whole 'quiet computing' thing, can't afford to spend so much on fans now, and I wanted some higher end gear to play now, hence the 670 preference hehe biggrin.gif
Good luck with your build!

Overclocked 7850 has no issues with BF3 at Ultra with 4X MSAA

You can get the same model Asus CU2 680 for $529 (in stock at amazon right now). That's only $30 more than what these people payed for the Asus 670 TOP. Seeing how a 680 is inherently 6-10% better than a 670, spending anything over $460 for a 670 seems silly.

Looking good mate thumb.gif

*board the plane to Portsmouth tonight*

Sleeeep! *lol*

Could you do me a favour and try to get it to ~70-80% load and see, if it makes a buzzing, static noise? Would be great!

Says out of stock for me, these things tend to have a 5 minute window. Also, the 680 version is a triple slot design. Originally I didn't even consider it because of that, but I've since decided to go with a mid tower ATX case case instead of mATX. Still, I think I would buy something like MSIs lightning 680 instead of a 3 slot card.

For me it'll depend on if this 670 becomes available for a little more reasonable price. For <$50 I'd probably just go to the lightning 680 or something. I'm also wondering if there will ever be voltage control in the 600 series. I kind of want to see what EVGA's classified offers, and if MSI comes out with a lightning extreme.

Maybe Skyrim? That's where I had the most "buzzing" on the EVGA.

If possible: In Whiterun, coming out of Dragonsreach on top of the stairs. You can see a big tree from there. Just look and listen biggrin.gif
