the card idles around 50C Ambient case temp is 35ish. It's the Antec 900. Fans are at max speed, and its pretty loud, but at 100% the GPU fan simply TEARS through them. It sounds like a damn blow-dryer.

Well for the time being I'm shelving this, I'd need to upgrade to a full-tower to fit this in.

Well I've gotten tired of listening to my 295 roaring whenever it gets above 55C (don't say turn down the fans, it gets hot and it needs to run up in speed to keep the temp down, I've tested it) so I've looked around and found a few compatible 3rd party fan/water cooler units to stick on the card. I want to try and lower the load temps at least 10C, but also I want it to be quieter. Here's a couple I found, they are expensive as hell, and there's nothing on newegg, that's compatible as of yet.

I currently do NOT have any water systems installed inside of the PC, would I need one or are these stand alones?

You should at least bag it right? I've got like a dozen ESD bags, at least one for every part of my PC.

I know the guy in real life, and I was under the impression we were having a hardware failure when we were installing this on his new build until he came clean that he wasn't sure if it wouldn't work or not, seemed the disc wasn't booting.

Cheap ass.

Spartan is a total fucking faggot. I miss the old -rep statements.

There are strict rules when it comes to CCW in most cases. If you, or another is in fear of one's life than you are enabled to use deadly force to combat deadly force. I'd prefer it to being brought down by a bunch of Chavs in a fist/knife/rebar fight.

There is no stategy in these movements, FFS who the hell run in straight lines? I've played with a few CEVO/CAL class players and they rarely will go head to head with an AWP when they know it has a bead on their entrance, especially without flashing. Those of you screaming elsewise, there are tampons are aisle 7.

People charge over $200 to install shit in the UK? It's a bit pricy, but here for $40 I know a place that WILL find your problem even if it takes them a week, regardless of the issue, and will then give you the option of fixing it yourself or doing the work for an additional $40, +hardware if necessary.

Just leave your HDD at home... but if you know enough to do that than you probably don't need to consult repairmen very often.

On the +rep side I am unbeatable. .... and over 9000.

Actually I just knocked a bar off you with one +rep. +REP HIM EVERYONE.
