ATI 5870+5850 CrossFireX
I’ve been playing around with two mismatched GPU’s in CrossFireX. Namely a reference model HD5870 from Asus and a custom PCB HD5850 from XFX. Perhaps not the most common setup, as most would much rather go for two identical cards. But if you happen to stumble upon the odd card, then why not give it a try, right?

Kingston HyperX DDR3 ‘LoVo’ OC testing
Just a quick look at a memory kit from Kingston, namely a set from their somewhat new ‘LoVo’ series. Judging by the name its a low voltage kit, so not a kit directly aimed at the enthusiast market. But word has it they might be worth a look after all!
According to their site, Kingston currently offers three versions of their ‘LoVo’ kits, 1333, 1600 and 1866 MHz. But there also seem to be an 1800 MHz kit listed at some shops, possible a replaceme...

A pair of ATI 5770 1Gb in Crossfire vs. a single ATI 5870 1Gb. One could call it a fair fight considering the price point of both setups. They will be put through their paces in some of today’s game titles…
Test Setup

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE (4,2GHz CORE/2,9GHz IMC)

[Blog] Single vs. Dual Triple 120mm Radiator5 Comments By wezcloseAuthor: wezName: Robin Lindqvist Email: coccis_wez@hotmail.com Site:http://www.techreaction.net About:See Authors Posts (4) on March 11, 2010
My goal was to better understand the impact of adding a second 360 radiator, which in theory doubles the heat dissipation capability of your loop. But what does it bring to the table in terms of overclockability on the AM3 platform?
Read on for a lightweight comparison between running one and two 360-sized radiators in a single loop, cooling a quad core AMD Phenom II CPU………….
