Thanks for the reply and sorry for not replying sooner. I decided to keep the card as-is, and maybe someday get GELID Icy Vision-A, since sit would not interfere with anything.

So I was planning to get an aftermarket cooler for my HD7870XT. I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon so I thought I'd spend some money on a cooler since the stock one is rather loud and the card gets hot in some games (NFS MW 2012 @80 degrees celsius). I was looking at Arctic Accelero Xtreme III...

The PSU is OCZ ZS 550W and it works perfectly, I disabled Avast while playing, shut down as much background programs possible. I was recording with the in-game tool with no slowdown (except for the already low FPS), the recording came out perfect, almost constant 60 FPS but in-game is horrible.

Hi all, I wanted to ask a question regarding the GTA IV performance on my PC. I have an FX-6300 OC to 4.0Ghz, 8 GB 1600Mhz RAM and a Radeon HD7870XT. I play on a 1366x768 resolution. I was told I would be able to max the game on my resolution with 45+ FPS (excluding view distance). Problem is I...

Yes the GPU is AGP, actually the PC is already set up with the Celeron, I was just wondering about the P4 compatibility.

Hi all, I have an old PC which I connected in LAN with my newer one. I used it to play older games via LAN and I was thinking about upgrading it a bit. It has a Foxconn 865A01-PE-6EKRS motherboard, Celeron D 335J, 1 GB RAM and a Radeon 9600 PRO. I found a used Pentium 4 3.2Ghz (SL7E5) mpga478...

I have an FX6300 and Enermax ETS-T40-TB Silence cooler. I wanted to check my temps so I got the Core Temp and AIDA x64 Extreme. I am unsure if these temps are good so I would appreciate your thoughts. The temps are on idle. I am not sure what temps to look at when overclocking, some people...

I have an FX-6300, Radeon HD 7870 XT, 8GB G.Skill Ares, Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0. I wanted to play Crysis 3 on everything maxed on a 1366x768 resolution, will that be possible around 35-40 FPS?

HI, I was wondering what cooler is this, the ad says its a Scythe Ashura, but it looks far different from the from the one I saw. Any help would be appreciated

Will a CM Hyper 212 EVO fit in a Zalman Z3 Plus? I read a review where a guy fitted a CM V8 in it. Since the V8 is bigger shouldn`t the EVO fit in too?

I got the Club 3D 7870 XT a week ago and I have been playing Crysis 2, Blur, CoD 4, Far Cry 3 etc. When I look in the MSI afterburner while playing FC3 the card activity is jumping around 40-60 % and in some other games too (mostly newer games). Now my question, is that a GPU problem or (what...

Thanks man you answered almost all my questions. I will probably be using G.Skill Sniper RAM in the second and fourth slot on my MOBO (M5A97 EVO R2.0) so it should`t be blocking it (in the 2nd slot) ?

I am thinking of getting an aftermarket cooler for my FX6300. I narrowed down to Hyper 212 EVO (no surprise there huh) and Arctic Cooling A30. I can get both for the exact same price. My question is which one is better when you look at cooling performance,quietness and thermal paste which comes...
