Topic: 2x XFX Radeon HD 5830 (Read 1368 times)
Just managed to find someone in the UK selling these at retail for £90 each. Seems reasonable given the ridiculously low supply of 5800 series cards on the market in the UK here (at sensible prices, that is - I can easily buy a 5870 for £300, which I'm not going to do...). Picked up a few to replace the disappointing single-slot 5770s now I've got more room in the open frame rig... they're on sale on overclock.co.uk - NOT overclockers, BTW...
Didn't someone re-grease their 5830 with arctic silver and it made a big difference?
umm y dont u sell your old one on craigslist u probally can get 95% of original price(from some idiot) LOL

I got this one back from XFX because the other one was dead. I'll run it for a while till it dies. Lifetime warranty, ftw.
I may also artic silver the GPU to lower temps a bit better. Or get an aftermarket cooler. All in all, under 70C and I'm happy though.

I'm running two XFX 5830's. One has the old style cooler and the other has the newer (better) one. I'm running each at 958/300 and I'm getting 307mh/s from each stable.
The older style gpu is getting temps of 68C at 100% fan while the newer style (with 5 heat pipes) is getting 56.5. It's crazy.
