Installing vga cooler on XFX HD5770 One of the things I like about this card is the case around it with the graphics on it. I am strongly considering purchasing it, however I know that after a few months I would have a strong urge to overclock it and this requires additional cooling. My question is simply this: if I install a vga cooler (such as the Arctic Cooling Accelero L2) will I have to remove the plastic case of the card and leave it off? If so, then I might as well buy a non-XFX brand 5770 for 20 bucks cheaper. (yes I would pay an extra $20 just for looks :P) Installing vga cooler on XFX HD5770 One of the things I like about this card is the case around it with the graphics on it.

accelero s1 passive cooler also a good choice...drop 35 deg. off of stock. For the money the XFX is the best card for the buck...if you got the XXX version. ....and do you care what the card looks like in the case, or on your screen?

I ended up getting the MSI R5770 Hawk. Way better than this XFX card with more OC'ing capability. I got some heatsinks for the ram/vram and I'm running it at 970/1375 OC.

when it was purchased? How long usage? did you make overclock the card? Do you know if this card is unlocked to 290x?did you make Flashed Bios? Displays black screen?Why the sale?Qual o modelo? (XFX R9290AENFC) ?

Yes it will, the HD6670 LP is listed as a compatible GPU on ARCTIC's website. http://www.arctic.ac/us_en/products/cooling/vga/accelero-l2-plus.html <-- Scroll down to compatibility.

The fan is actually better than some people say - the default cooling profile never pushes the fan hard. If you download evga's wonderful "Precision X" utility, you can set up your own fan profile. I was easily able to get my card to run at least 10 degrees cooler than it did with default settings, and that includes overclocking the bad boy as much as I can. Be warned, though - blower-style coolers are good but they are also noisy. The reason the default fan profile is pretty tame is to keep noise down. With my custom profile, you will definitely hear the fan when it spins up. I don't mind myself as I never notice it over the sounds of my game.

Just FYI, this thing is huge! I put in on an older Radeon 5770 when the fan went bad and I made sure to measure, but even then it is surprising how big it is. I have a full size case and I can't put a case fan in one of the slots because the things sticks up so much. Your card will definitely run hotter (I forget how many degrees mine went up, maybe 5-10 Celsius but still in a workable range) and it will really depend what kind of airflow you have in your case. It might even require a few modifications to the passive cooler. I had to cut off some plastic so it would fit on the card properly.

Supported card from Cooler Master's site:NVIDIA GeForce8800GTS 512MB (G92 Ver.),8800GT,8600 series, 8500 series,7600 series, 7300 seriesATI RadeonHD3870, HD3850,HD2900, HD2600, HD2400,X1950, X1900,X1800,X1650,X1650 Pro,X1550I'm using it with Radeon HD 6570 that is power consumption is rated at 50 watts. It keeps it cool and quiet.NVIDIA GTX 570 is rated at 219 watts, so i guess it needs a much more massive cooling than this one can achieve.

I've had no experience with the Asus model, but I can tell you that even a little digital image manipulation results in a hell of a lot of fan acceleration, both on the video board, the comuter case fan, and the CPU fan. The short EVGA model dumps its hot (very hot air) out right into the Mobo RAM...just where it's needed :( Additionally, I've had a difficult time getting the optimal NVidia driver to install, but that very well may be a Mobo issue. Hope this helps. NOTE: If you buy the "longer" Asus model, make sure you have room in your case.

Hi, if you plan to overclock your graphics card then I strongly recommend this card. If you don't overclock then I would go with the Superclocked edition. You really can't go wrong with any of these cards but I will say the ACX cooling works very well and is super quiet compared to the vapor chamber single fan coolers that some of the models have. I hope that helps enjoy!!

I am looking to upgrade my old card to use with this board. I won't go past $200 for a single card so the best option might be a GTX660 (Nvidia). I'm sure you can get a better card that won't be bottlenecked, but some people i know who bought this board also bought the GTX560 series cards. Hope I helped.

I'm using this same bridge on my Asus X99 Deluxe with 2xEVGA GTX980 SC ACX2.0. Works flawlessly and lights up. I've heard that the EVGA logo on the bridge won't light up with GTX970s, but I won't believe it until I see it. If you have EVGA cards, this should work with GTX7XX series and up. Even if it doesn't light up, it still works just fine as an SLI bridge and adds some extra bling to your rig if you have a windowed case.

do you have the dimensions on the Thermal take, I do know it does have water cooling support. At the top there is a filter you can take off to mount your radiator. If you can give me dimensions I can tell you. Is it a dual fan or single fan radiator?Just looked it up on Amazon. The top of the case has a removable dust filter and is able to support 2 120MM fans, But you can also mount your water cooler right there it would be either inside the case or you can have it popping out of the case. Probably hard to imagine what I am saying. But if you can find the pic of the top of the case youll know. Basically I would say probably, but I cant guarantee you. It does have a spot though. do you have the dimensions on the Thermal take, I do know it does have water cooling support. At the top there is a filter you can take off to mount your radiator.

The other difference would be that it comes with a factory overclock. I can't remember exactly what the difference is, but this model, because of the stock overclock and the ability to overclock due to the upgraded cooler, performs closer to the GTX Titan than it does to the stock 780. I have mine clocked at 1200 MHz, which is something like 350 MHz faster than the stock 780. IMO, it's worth the price difference. Plus, I've had EVGA cards in the past, and they have all performed really well.

Works fine with my sapphire radeon 5770 with 1 gb gddr5 I don't see why it shouldn't. Pick up an aftermarket cooling unit though as some of the newer games have taken me up near 220 degrees farenheit.

I just bought a different card that had the same offers. You have to create an account on the EVGA site, register your card and then request the Steam code for each game. http://www.evga.com/articles/00802/ - Deadfall Adventures http://www.evga.com/articles/00801/ - Painkiller Hell & Damnation http://www.evga.com/articles/00764/ - Rise of the Triad Hope this helps! I'm going to buy the GTX 770 Hydro Copper soon. You don't have the dimensions of the card handy do you?? I can't seem to find them anywhere on the web. Everyone just says, "It's HUGE!" I want to make sure the beast will fit my case. Regards, //Sam

It's not a classic motherboard graphics card, it is an actual dedicated system, but it's not a classic dedicated card. It is built into the CPU (new fangled tech). They generate significantly less heat, and use significantly less battery. The Nvidia counterpart is probably more powerful, but also more overheat+power usage.What you're really asking is, "will this run ____". The answer is yes. Obviously no competition for a well-built desktop, but as gaming laptops go, I've found the A8-4500 to be sufficient for smoothly running KSP, Planetside2, Gmod/HL:____/Nitronic rush, etc.I also do 3d modelling, until I dropped a screw on the motherboard, it was able to run both Inventor (solidworks), and Maya no problem.

Your cooler depends a lot on the case. I had a "Ice Warrior" cooler on mine when it was in a full ATX case and it barely fit. (Boy did it keep it cool though!) The CPU placement on the MOBO is high and close to the corner so I noticed it's compatibility was less than my other LGA 775 MOBOs. A Stock Intel cooler sits on it now. It's not the best, but it works. Any aftermarket case will be better than a stock Dell. Many can even be had with PSU's in them already for a minimal price. This form factor is the most versatile so anywhere from M-ATX to Full ATX will house this MOBO well. Your cooler depends a lot on the case.
