Yeah, when I had the dual windforce in SLI - I never heard them, but once I added the third...

The worst noise I had was 4890 crossfire. Now those things were both loud and obnoxious.

I'm quite impressed with the 7 series coolers. Both at max sound just a little nosier than my 580 DCUII at max. Not bad at all. And they aren't hair dryer/jet engine obnoxious either. I'm not surprised people changed their minds about WCing 'em :)

Cheers mate, I will

Yeah I'm lucky I didn't get into pc's until a couple of years ago as I would be going nut's over the noise cards made before then. In comparrison to older card's mine probably aren't that bad but I can't oc them at all really So they need to go...

Mate, we all start some where :)

And you're already showing the signs - two upgrades in one gen, an upgrade in the next...


My list isn't all that long either really. I only seriously got back into PC's again around 2008. That's ground up building. Prior to that I was just the odd part re-placer/software frig arounder.

I switched to the xbox/360 when my old PIII rig I had for 7 yrs (with original OS installation) finally died and I was given a Pentium D rig.

But since my first ever ground up build - I've been a shocker. 2x 775, 1x 1366, 2x 1155 in 4 yrs

Riva TNT2 Ultra (first ever $700+ top of the range card back in the day)
~~time warp~~
7600GS
4850
4850 CF (need more power)
4890 CF (Christ they were loud like a hair dryer on full in each ear)
5970 (Sick of noise. 1st and last ever x2 card. Never hated a GPU so much. Intro to 3 screen gaming. End of ATI/AMD)
GTX 580 DCUII (restored faith in nvidia. Never had a single issue. Single screen only. Loved the quiet.)
GTX 670 SLI (missed triple screen)
GTX 670 TRI (missed extra performance. Got sick of noise)
GTX 780Ti SLI



~~most likely~~
GTX 780Ti TRI (inevitable come winter. Repeat 670 experience. Wait for next gen... buy that)


Spot a pattern lol?

Yeah I think I'm well on the way to being a hardware junkie lol, I was planning on getting 2 770's not as an upgrade as such but just to get some better card's but my Mrs twisted my arm to get 780's instead. It really took some twisting too
I've just got to sort the fund's now but hopefully it shouldn't take too long.

Ryan that is just the list of what i used before 2009 after that HD5670 HD5770 2X6870 2x7970

When you do heavy gaming it's a must to stay current

Yeah I didn't think it was all you'd owned lol, I know what you're like chap, Ooooh Shiny shiny
I have to upgrade at least yearly as I need to cover most of the cost by selling my current stuff and if I was to leave it longer I wouldn't get enough money out of it.
Needs must n all enit
