Re: Changing fan on the HD6950

Bah Twit and Tealc99 :) You took away all reason not to change the cooling on my hd6950, apart from me being a bit lazy :P I do want to flash my HD6950, but I do not want the potential noise of the stock cooler. Do you guys think that thermal paste wil conduct heat better than the thermal pads on t...

Re: Changing fan on the HD6950

I'm reporting in that the Thermalright T-Rad2 GTX fits 6950 perfectly. With the 2 included 92mm Thermalright fans at 7v, the card stays under 80C in Furmark and it is essentially inaudible (I can't hear it in my quiet case). This considerably outperforms the Accelero S1 with 800RPM 120mm attached. ...
