    MSI Radeon R9 270 Video Card - 2GB Crossfire

    While you may be entirely correct that not all the games natively support crossfire, I have not run across that yet. All my games are 2013 and older. I do have 14 fans (not including the PSU) circulating in a Zalman Z11 case and she runs cool and quiet. I have to add that I am just getting...

    MSI Radeon R9 270 Video Card - 2GB Crossfire

    I have this set up (2x MSI r9 270 crossfireX) and it works Awesome. I have no complaints. Got the drivers from AMD and off I went playing my games :) I'd say its worth it.

    When I checked the cases online all three versions say 4 fans included. I haven't heard back from them so maybe your right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMvS1Q1sos MTM

    Actually all three versions come with two LED fans. Zalman Z11 and Z11 Plus come with two Blue LED fans each and the "HF" (Hell Fire) comes with two Red LED fans. The Z11 Plus comes with two USB 3.0 & two 2.0 USB where the Z11 just has four USB 2.0. This is the one I bought...

    usb 2.0 to motherboard sata 2 output?

    I searched Toms and Google but no joy. I have used up my two usb 2.0 plugs on the mobo and the 3.0 header, but have three empty sata 2 ports unused on my Mobo. Is it possible to power the two 2.0 usb on the front of my case with a Sata 2 plug from the Mobo? If so what kind of adapter/plug do I...

    Well I ordered the Zalman Z11 case and the 212 EVO Cooler, so thats been decided. To stay on budget I was supposed to get one piece per month. Guess I got a little carried away... In a few weeks I should have all the parts and be blazing through websites editing videos and blasting through games...

    Oh wow, looking at those pics in the link you posted I might not be able to use a bottom cooling fan :/ I also found a topic discussion that states the 212 EVO will fit in the Z11 case. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1699831/installing-cooler-master-hyper-evo-212-zalman-z11-case.html...

    The Cooler Master 212 EVO got good reviews IMO, 50 degrees Celsius at full load, 36 degrees above ambient temp, seen here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Zalman-CNPS11X-Performa-CPU-Cooler-Review/1462/6 Plus its less than $40. Cant beat that. Thanks Vic 40. I think we have a winner! And...

    I ended up getting two cards by happy accident. On ebay I usually get out bid past my max I am willing to pay so I often bid on multiple of the same item knowing I am going to loose one or all my bids. So it turned out alright this time. Thats good advice with the cooler sizing and case...

    I just won two MSI R9 270 cards on eBay, used for one month and still have the three year warranty (claimed). The guy was selling ten of them and no one bid on them except myself and one other bidder so they were 135 each. Should have them in two weeks or so. Good thing I only bid on two... Now...
