Any chance to fit it in my rig? Is my psu ok?

Search in google for "Sapphire TriXX", new OC and fan regulator for 6800 series. Remember to report info about this piece of software, too.

That's good news, but if the overall cooling is worse (due to 6850 needing more power and not being vapor-x) the fan has to spin faster at load to keep temperatures low. It all depends on how faster it has to spin. I'm just trying to use logic, i'm new to quiet/silent builds and still learning a lo...

It seems to me that 6850 fan is the same of mine 5750 vaporx. In my rig, at 20-25% is a quiet fan, at late night too. So i'll go with the 6850, just my two cents

Very nice micksh, good report

I don't know about idle, but in the link below they say the fan never went faster than 40% during their tests. Not exactly what you asked for, but it's something :) http://www.dinoxpc.com/articolo/Sapphire+Radeon+HD+6850%253A+AMD+riparte+dalla+fascia+media_1139-26.htm So the startup rotation is nea...

Ok, please remember my question

Thank you very much micksh, i'm glad it is quiet. According to Catalyst CC, what's the rpm percentage of the fan at idle?

I'll wait your report, if 6850 is a decent quiet piece of hardware i will buy it for me and gift this 5750 to my bro

Thanks Anatorax. I like my P150, it served me very well, but i think it's time the get something better. Someone have the silver fortress? Is it possible to see some photos of your rigs guys? Just for curiosity, i didn't see it in forum gallery.

I'm interested in fortress 2 too, but i have doubt about the leght of cables in my psu. I need to accomodate more hd than my actual rig, and i will buy a more powerfull gfx card in a month or two. I need a better vented case with more space than my actual white beauty

I have mine mounted in my quiet build (in sign) with the P150 grommets-rails, and surprisingly this Caviar Black does not add to much noise. I think if u suspend it and activate AAM it will be relatively quiet.

Hello my friends, actually i'm using an Agility2 SSD as a OS disk, this thing really fly, but now i need another drive for gaming purpose. WD is largely available in my city, WD1002FAEX seems a good performer, but is it too loud? I know it's not deadly quiet... but i don't think it is a screamer lik...

Vibration is very low, i think it's possible to hard mount it. It seems to me a little bit slow compared to 320GB/platter GP, but i'm using it anyway for gaming. Maybe it's subjective. After all, performance is not a big issue, games map loading is the same of the GP. I think it's ok for desktop use...

Mine HD503HI is very quiet, stay cool and low on vibration. Virtually no vibration when bare mounted on desk, too. When mounted with silicon screws in a P150/solo i can't hear any seek, my caviar GP 640GB had more seek noise. But i feel the caviar more quicker, i don't undestand why. Anyway, a great...

Had someone tried to use the SSD as a ReadyBoost drive for the mecanical disk? I know, is a waste of money, but what the... just for experiment

Opps, just ordered a Samsung 500GB F3EG

What's the formatted capacity of the X25-V? Is it lower than 40GB?

I have the 5750 vapor-x, i presume coolers is the same. The sapphire 5750 fan idle@40%, for me it sucks: my pc is on the desk, 60 cm from me. The good new is: it's very quiet at 20%, better than my stock 3850, and i can play for hours with this fan at 20% without issues, gpu never reached 55°C with...

Today my shiny new Sapphire 5750 Vapor-X is arrived, it work, but the fan is fixed at 40%, no way to change the speed setting with catalyst 9.12 and 10.1 under Win7 HP 64bit.

Temperatures are ok, gaming is ok, too. But the fan setting don't work. Suggestions?

In Italy there is runstore.it who sell the Powercolor and the Club3D, but not the "green" one

Hi folks, any user of this hard disk around the forum?
It seems interesting, one 500GB platter @ 7200rpm, and i hope a superb firmware from Hitachi. No review in internet, no report about noise, only some user in other forum that complain of high access time

I'm using a WD6400AACS, 2 platters @ 320GB Green Power. It's my system disk under win7 64bit, no parking issues. The park feature (IMHO!) simply won't work under Windows because of the continuos little read/write operations of the OS itself, even with 24GB ram :lol: So any green drive from western d...

Thank you for the mini-review Freeco!

This card is a temptation to me, i'm wondering what happen in italy's summer

Wow, 75° when stressed would be ok for my rig, silence is priceless. I'm wondering what brand is better, Club 3d or powercolor. Is your card all solid caps? How many thumbs up?

Great config, i love it

I see a shiny new Club3D HD5750 passive in your signature... what about temperatures of this puppy? Is it a front 92mm fan@800rpm enough for cooling?

At this price point, the PowerColor Go green 5750 is an interesting beast. Passive, no power connector, power consumption 20% lower than the default one. Like you guys, i will wait to see what happen

~El~Jefe~ wrote:WAIT!!

According to this, a 5670 is a bit power HUNGRY compared to a 5750.

I think they are wrong, i will wait x-bit lab or any better review about power consumption.

I want to change my 3850 with a 5670. If it is 10-20% more powerfull, is ok for me.

I hope there will be a passive version. There is a 5750 passive, should not be difficult to do with the minor version.
Alternatively, the Powercolor 5750 "GO GREEN" could be an interesting purchase.

If i were you, i'll cancel the order, too. Radeon 5670 is more powerful in accord with some unofficial preview, and maybe more power friendly.
