You have a 7970 sitting in a box at your house!

They also have another Sapphire 7970 on sale right now for $296.



The 7970 won't be THAT much of an upgrade will it? I was thinking about using it for my spare rig.. Or do you think I should just use it for this one?

Not if you are only playing in 1080p at 60HZ. You don't need that much.

I just put that 660 I have up for sale on Amazon. It's a good card but I have a 7870GHz and 7970GHz sitting here as well as a 660Ti on it's way to Zotac for RMA.

H110

Kept SSD, RAID, 7950 Crossfire from previous rig

Windows 8 and Raid install worked flawlessly with new parts, was extremely surprised

Just bought the first piece to my PC

Got a 7870 XT off newegg for $166 Should have been $6 cheaper but Shoprunner doesn't work on newegg mobile, so I had to pay $6 for slow shipping

3-4 virtual machines at any one time, XP / Vista / W7 / Linux

ETA: Got the ram for 190 shipped, its 270 new
XTU stable at 4.5, but into the high 70s. Not bad for a lidded chip.

What do you do with those virtual machines?

You should delid. It's easy with the vise/hammer method, and I got a 20+ C temp reduction by replacing the TIM under the IHS with liquid ultra.
