    7970 + 7950 CF VS 390 or 390x

    I have had my 7970 for quite a while, and a few months ago I added a 7950 to it. I overclocked the 7950 and then matched the 7970 to it, so I effectively have a 7950 CF setup. I was wondering if switching my GPU setup to a single R9 390 or 390x would be an upgrade, and if so then by how much...

    Does router affect wired performance?

    I'm struggling to find a clear answer on this as everything links to wireless speeds. When I see routers getting rated, it seems to be done soley based on the wireless ability of it. However, I have no interest at all in that, in fact in my current setup I have absolutely no use for wireless...

    VRAM Heatsinks for Aftermarket cooler?

    I recently bought the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV 280 (X) for my stock 7970 as it is very loud on load. Having read lots of reviews and comments on the cooler, I've found that people complain most about the VRAM cooling that the cooler offers. Many of them advise getting some DRAM/VRAM heatsinks...

    Worth watercooling original 7970?

    The Accelero Xtreme 7970 does indeed look good. How is the VRAM cooling? I looked into this a while ago, but since then you can't seem to buy these anywhere in the UK!
