Put a LAN card and Video Capture card in it. Have to reoverclock the damn thing.
Can't wait to buy my new motherboard, processor, RAM and video card.
nice case
I'm not 100% sure if I've already said this or not, but we have the same motherboard. Isn't it great!
Anyway, be careful, it looks like one of your cables at the top (which is ziptied) could easily be nocking against your fan.
Yes, I am using this motherboard to learn how to overclocking CPU and it not that hard. I wasnt worry about this cable, and I try to keep it away from both CPU and top case fans. They both are about 2 inches apart and I run a cable between them. This cable wont move by support of CPU cable. and I have clear side case, and I can keep my eyes on this.
Oop, I forgot to edit my signature after I upgrade videocard and add second sata hard drive. Sorry about that. Yes, this is Gigabyte, because I become fan of Gigabyte.

He said he just got a new one, so I assumed it wasn't a 4870... and gigabyte didn't make those kind of video cards back then.

I needed some extra pressure, the TFII cooler was a little loose, and I didn't have any washers handy... so those are CM Hyper TX3 120mm fan mounts cut up and used as washers. lol.
Lol won't that short the printed circuits of that card?

Don't worry, you don't have to do that if you don't want to. Beside I and people wouldn't say bad thing about your old desktop.

Linkin you voided the warrenty on that 560 already?
I assume you re-applied some better Thermal paste?...much of a diffrence?
Voided warranty? Why of course not!
But yes I have changed the paste to AS5. BF3 still heats this thing up to 92c which has me quite worried. The cooler on the card was able to be twisted with very little force so I concluded it needed some extra pressure. I plan to get some proper washers today. I'm also guessing that the screws only being threaded half way up has something to do with it. And still gets up to 92c in BF3 singleplayer. Even Kombustor is 10c less than that!CrazyHV8000

hmm... It look like you should turn it high fan speed. I have to set up my 9600 GT at 80% speed fan to keep it cooling. 92c? it is serious. That is too high and reduce a lot of lifetime.

I know right! I might possibly have the worst 560 Ti that exists. Ambient temp is anywhere from 20-30c though... even so it idles at about 36 most of the time.
Already at 100% speed. It's too hot.

Do you overclocked? How is your airflow? You might want good fan on your side of tower.

From what I remember from Linkin's picture of his computer, his airflow is good. Just sounds like a bad card. I would recommend to RMA it, but since you took all that off...

Or another possible. Voltage might be too high, vcore might be damages, overclock PCIe or bad fan.

All my gear is fine. MSI doesn't void your warranty for unmounting the cooler unlike XFX and Palit do now. I think I will set up an RMA though...
