Was it better in term of sustaining me in gaming?<br />5- For the MotherBoard, i heard someone talking bout it is better to have a decent motherboard if you want to OC?<br />6 - The Cosair GX 600W is to prepare me for SLI / OC, i think is necessary.. right?<br /><br />I welcome all suggestions and thanks in advance <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> currybun Hardware Mon, 11 Jun 2012 22:30:38 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2352653 Hi all, I had been researching about this card for quite sometime, however, I found that a lot of companies had overclocked this card, my question is, how does all these cards different?<br />As far as i know, there are 3 type<br /><br />Sapphire HD 7870 2GB OC<br />Gigabyte HD 7870 OC Windfoce x3<br />MSI Radeon HD 7870 TwinFroze OC<br /><br />In terms of performance, load temperate, sound noise, and also its price, which one is better?<br /><br /> currybun Hardware Sat, 19 May 2012 11:41:19 +0800 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2328410 Hi all <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> after lingering around Lowyat and researching for several weeks, I had updated my list of rigs to be as follow <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br /><br /><br />CPU-Intel I5 3570k<br />Mother Board - Asrock z77 Extreme 4<br />Ram- Value Ram 4GB x2<br />Graphic Card- Sapphire HD 7870 OC <br />Hard disk-WD 500 GB<br />Casing-CM Silenco 450<br />PSU - Corsair G5 600W<br /><br />So my first question is<br /><br />1- Can i slash off my budget a bit so that maybe i could fit in a GTX 670? <!--emo&:clap:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/rclxms.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='rclxms.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br /><br />2- Same as above, but the purpose is to fit in a Monitor <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> currybun Hardware Tue, 01 May 2012 16:42:30 +0800
