If you are looking to put a healthy OC to it, the H-100 like I used in the review is a good pairing.

If you have not overclocked using digital power before, it can look a bit foreign. Holler if you would like help :)

i might need a lil help red thanx, but i just did the auto tune using the ai tuner and went right on up to 100.1 x 45 ,...4500mhz in a matter of a few minutes,....crazy man ! ,...but imma get more into it tomorrow if i don't get called out to work,...thanx again for everything !!

yup, ASUS has far and away the best software on the market. I used auto-tune in Turbo V for the review and it found 4.5GHz in about 25 seconds. You will probably be able to get 1.1GHz or better on the GPU as well.

I am interested to see what kind of OC you can get when you manually OC. 4.5 with Auto tune would seem to suggest 4.7+ :thumbsup:

the hwmonitor is cool, thanx :thumbsup:

 

i just popped out the the 6870 and plugged into the onboard/cpu 7660D graphics, played a few minutes of BlackMesa to check it out and i'm noticing some reduceed image quality that seems to me to be a little bit grainier or fuzzier texture than i like... the 6870's have a crystal clear image quality that (i guess) is hard to beat with the on die video...my eye's are having a little trouble adjusting to this lesser quality...

 

i think imma have to go back to the discreet video and cfx up both 6870's...
