Well, so I've been using the HD5850 for the past week...and this is the first time for me with a high-end GPU , or actually any end GPU(earlier i waz with a 6200TC lol!!!!)
- I had 10 days of time with the Athlon II X4 620 before that, and now after all the tweaks, i've set a decently low vcore, yet with 100% stability.. At 23C ambient, the processor doesn't even cross 37C at FULL LOAD.....
- Dunno why people complain about seagate but this 7200.12 baby rocks
- BenQ G2220HD, where were u earlier..I thought switching to LCD from CRT wud diminish quality, but boy was I wrong...and watching 480p and 720p movies is a treat to the eyes(especially with upscaling feature of GPU)..
- Logitech MX518, with all the buttons and DPi profiles, every game, RTS FPS whichever can be enjoyed to the fullest and most comfortably...

- CM Elite 334 ,I know I know, bad cable management...Dam I wish i had bought a CM 590 instead...but still, this cabby does the job...and it all fits in, although I had to install the HDD on a lower rack......
- Corsair VX550W , needs no introduction
- Corsair 1600MHz titanium....the casing for the ram looks downright sexy....and the memory clocks more than 1800MHz(tried a li'l OC venture with the CPU, but no screenies, it was about a 5 minute ride only...)...running it at 1333MHz and a lower voltage of 1.59V as I don't see any performance increase at FULL HD gaming with 16000MHz
- HD5850
Well, the queen bee in this rig.....i guess all of u guys hav read the reviews of this card already....
I cud OC the card to the max 775MHz and 1150Mhz on CCC OverDrive using Auto-Tune, didn't go any higher.
At 30% fan speed idling, the temps are at an amazing low 38C(ambient 23C)
While gaming the speed is 55%, and max temp WAS 65C...
Yeah, why WAS with big bold huh??? Well, I downloaded MSI After Burner and successfully reduced the CoreVoltage to 1.062V from 1.088V (HD5970 has a 1.05V CoreVoltage).....I did 1.049V but it wasn't stable.....
After that stint, while playing the same part in CRYSIS(the scene of the beach, 1st level).............and the rest of the level for a total of 20 mins, the results were:-
Earlier - Load 65C
Now - Load 58C
Yea I know, the temp drop is 7C.............
That's about it, sorry no benchmarks but I'll try to post if possible....
