There is a fair bit of space at the end of the card compared to others I have seen in a P182, shame the power cables get in the way of placing a fan on the adapters on the HDD cage

The whole setup :D

On start up the thing make a hell of a racket, I am assuming this is its full fan speed so if you are going to overclock one of these and are thinking of wacking the fan speed up beware! At idle the noise is quite minimal and nothing to write home about!
Right now off to play some games :)

nice one, my powercolour one comes tomorrow! :D

It's PINK!

No, something better! check my created threads for the "how was you day" topic

Why do you have the ram in slots 2+4

Just a little extra space from the cpu and mobo heatsink, no harm in it is there?

what dodgy memory?

It was never proved that cards dying was memory fault, but people were flashing using an incorrect BIOS.

No, haven't tried it yet. Lets just say "i need to put in work"

I need a new card for my pc i was thinking about a 4850, but it doesn't really offer next gen performance like the 4870.

Ikix nothing is worng with your ram setup, it's just not common also whats your system specs?
