EDIT : I just read in one review that beside atomic cooler sapphire also offers vapor-x single slot cooler...


While I was shooting for the bling factor (I hate green and red pcb!!) when I bought this unit, however kinda wished I had sprang for the the extra $20ish for the Toxic model as its vapor-x cooler is getting very good press. Smash

May just have to shop around for one if it becomes an issue.

When you are done with your build, can you tell us what your temps are in idle and load with stock settings? It it is already too warm, then I would probably not even bother to overclock unless I bought an aftermarket cooler and/or improved the case cooling.


Right now I working on oc'ing the proc so it is just sitting a "stock" everything right now. After I'm happy with that, then I'll aquaint myself more with the gpu. the only thing I used so far is gpu-z to look at the card which tells me the factory cd had cat 7.11 on it and at idle the fan is running 40%, didn't notice any temps.

Again thanks for the help guys! Thumbs Up
