and also replaced stock H80 Fans with Noctua NFF12's (in push pull)

and also added the low noise adapter from the noctua's to my bitfenix fans so its all nice and quiet

Enjoying it over the HD6870? :)

Very much so  in all  games i tested so far on ultra settings the fps is so much smoother  compared with average of 30-35 fps on 6870

Looks like a pretty decend gaming machine. Maybe you could improve the cable management a bit, because the back looks a little bit messy on the last picture. But no big problem, if you ahve no window. Aside form that looks very good.

Thanks and yeah i'm not too worried about that side as it can't be seen when side is on and also can't be seen when other side is open  shame the usb 3.0 cable is quite short and cannot be hid anywhere

Oh HD 6870, such amazing value for money but I definitely understand why you like how silent this is so much... I actually have a reference cooled version, sounds like a jet when under load!. Nice upgrade, I think you could improve a bit on cable management, although I guess it's not really an issue if it doesn't annoy you since you can't see it with the side panel on and non modular PSU can make that quite hard.

That's a sexy looking card. How are your load temps compared to the 6870?

 

I'm still rocking the GTX580 and will probably hold off until the 800 series hits the market for an upgrade.  I'm only just starting to see it's sluggishness on newer games that are coming out now that I'm trying to run on ultra.

yeah my old card was starting to show its age as well just managing 35fps on new games, temps are much better than my old 6870, gtx770 idels at around 35-40c and load (1215mhz) its around 70c and still silent.

Yeah i agree it was great value for money when i bought it but as you said sounds like a jet when under load and load temps of 75+ lol

also yeah all cables are tied down and i cant see them from the front  thats all i care about thanks for the post :D
