Custom built this one, having quite some fun playing everything on max detail, haha.
Specs:
Dual Core E5200
4GB DDR2 800Mhz Kingston
Asus Rampage Formula
XFX HD4770
Did some quick overclocking, no messing with voltages yet. Running rock solid so far.
Never overclocked video cards before so I'm going REAL slow with this one.
Motherboard BIOS is fantastic, automatically calculates RAM speeds at the given FSB, clear CMOS button on the I/O Panel besides the LCD poster...
Waiting until I save up some money so I can get an aftermarket cooler. Already bought some Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound to put on it, should arrive sometime in the next two weeks. |

Most of them look the same, as noted in the review I just did...
Quote: | Take a good look at the Sapphire Radeon HD4770 512MB graphics card in the images on this page. Now take a look at every other Radeon HD4770 listed at Newegg.com. Physically they are all the same... same color schemes, same cooler, same PCB, same connection configurations. One thing Sapphire usually has going for it is a slightly enhanced design, but here it is obvious that using the reference design was necessary in order to remain competitive (notice how the prices are all about the same at that link, too). |
Does it look like all of those at Newegg? |
