  3. Hey. With AC unity coming out along with a lot of other games I see that it says that they require 8GB of ram. Is this true or completely bullsh*t considering how bad game developers have been with making a realistic system requirements? I usually never multitask, when I play games I close all other programs (no, i'm not that kind of person that has 29875 background services, I keep my windows clean) except Skype from time to time. I'm kind off on a tight budget this month, that's why i'm asking before I go out and buy and new pair of sticks. Help would be appreciated regards.
  4. If i buy some other type of copper or aluminium heatsink do you think it could work well together with the cooler? unfortunately watercooling is not an option for me since it's too expensive.
  5. Hi! So basically, right now i'm running a R9 290 with a reference cooler in my PC and i've been looking into getting Arctic coolings Accelero Xtreme IV. However i'm seeing some issues with the design. With the cooler they ship a huge heatsink that sits on the back of the card which is suppost to cool the VRAMs and the VRMs.. But the way i'm seeing it is it's sitting on the wrong side!? The VRAMs and VRMs are on the same side as the gpu.. and thus the cooler/heatsink does not do the job of cooling the memory and VRM. According to this guy his VRM went up to 100celsius after 1 minute of benchmarking.. which is worse than the reference cooler itself.. So what i'm wondering.. in what way did Arctic think the VRM should be cooled? or did the guy in the video i link just install the heatsink wrong somehow? Is anyone running this cooler who can give me some insight? help is very appreciated!
