Yeah, and it doesn't have an ugly blue PCB.... #EwwwwNo @megadarkwood

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

I think the only deciding factor is.........what is the color scheme of your rig?

 

An HD 7870, is an HD 7870, is an HD 7870.........

An HD 7870 is going to perform as well as an HD 7870.

As @DrainDoc said, you can OC a Sapphire GPU just as easily.

can you adjust the voltage? I thought that was apart of ASUS thing as when I upgraded to a 7950 I couldn't mess with voltage only power limit. I could be wrong though

ok one more question would two hd 7870s bottleneck a i7 3820 @ 4.2ghz

At some point, in any one single system, there is bound to be a bottleneck.

I've never used that particular Sapphire card, but I don't see why not.

 

although, pushing the volts on an already out of the box O.C.'d card, might be worrisome.

 

Tons more heat, much more unstable.........and.......BOOM!  :o

Not if you monitor your temps.

90c is 90c is 90c.

Also go for Asus the cooler is much better.

FX 8320@4.1Ghz, Noctua NH-D14, MSI 7870@1050Mhz, 8 GB 1600 MHz, M5A97 LE R2.0, NZXT H440, CX500M

Your rights matter because you never know when you are going to need them.

Asus because it's cheaper. They're not that different.
