    well it went tits up with the Gainwood card so i have just ordered one of these.....

    The reason i chose this card is that it is a reference model and i can water-cool it at a later date.

    Never been a fan of them (gainward) a mate of mine had nothing but trouble with them through 3 or 4 generations of cards, why he kept buying them I will never know.
    Obviously they don't learn very quickly do they !!
    I thought you were getting a Pailit or PNY one to start with or I would have warned you
    Still getting a PNY now so all sorted
    Let us know how you find it, as I am tempted by their GTX 570.

    This guy offered me a manufactured refurbished gainwood , it was a good price but the company he was dealing with messed him about so much that he first offered me a refund and then said if i seen a card on a certain big website, that he could get me a brand new one minus the VAT for the trouble it had been with the original card.....couldn't say no to saving £50 on a brand new one.

    I havent done any benching as yet.....i'm trying to get my hands on one of these http://eu.evga.com/products/moreInfo...ly=Accessories

    Cant find a uk supplier?

    Not feeling the blueish pcb board tbh, + it's a dust collector (i don't do dust) so with a backplate i will just wipe it with my little duster brush and jobs a goodun (sad i know, it's my ocd)
