Title: 2x XFX Radeon HD 5830
Post by: pandemic on July 29, 2011, 12:38:10 AM
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.

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.

Didn't someone re-grease their 5830 with arctic silver and it made a big difference?
