Well, Its in my Super Matx case, so It touches my intake fan at the front, partitioning my case, which actually made things run cooler (2 heat zones, the video card heat goes right threw the case, the cpu psu heat is cooled by a 140mm fan and then two 80s pull it all out). But Its very unhappy with my 480watt matx psu, its fine in games, unless i try to overclock her...oh boy, she gets angry then. Im thinking about returning it to new egg under the 'incompatible rma' option, then getting a hd3870 until the x2s come out, then I will be able to do crossfire in a matx case/

It really is not compatible, it does not like my 480watt psu lol. (the 18amps does not help either)

as far as performance though, I can play crysis on ultra, its choppy, but playable. On medium its quite smooth.

are you still getting the 3870? i'm thinking of pulling the trigger (in stock @ newegg right now!)...

no!!! i just got notification, and they sold out!!! dang!

[m.oreilly]

hey, what's the heavy happening tonight

[m.oreilly]

well, i tried to pick up an ati 3870, but they sell out too fast. maybe a good omen, 'cause the r680 is just around the corner (2x3870 chips, a gig of ram, etc...).

Love that video, thx for the reminder MO. Nirvana's Unplugged is a definite classic.
