Selling crossed my mind or a slightly used fathers day gift for the old boy.

Announcement:

I have changed the Sapphire Warranty section slightly. Instead of the "$15" processing fee, I have removed the monetary cost and have replaced it with "minimal processing fee". This is due to the fact that the processing fee levied by Sapphire towards its US customers can vary from one case to the next. In addition, in the past it seems like this fee has changed quite a few times so while ~$15 may have been the price when this article was written, it may not be accurate even a few weeks form now.

Thanks for your understanding.

Everyone is still getting their stuff sorted after Computex. I hope to receive some form of confirmation either later today or early tomorrow.

Default Program?
Great review as always.

What program where you using to adjust the GPU voltages during overclocking? I just picked up a XFX 4890 XXX edition and I want to try and hit 1Ghz (under water).

Thanks.

I am using the ASUS Voltage Tweak software but ONLY on the ASUS card. Alternately, you can try a program called Voltage Factory.

Ok, thanks for the info. Once I get everything installed and do some tests I will post but that may be in a couple of weeks since I am waiting for new thermal pads for my waterblock (the Koolance block I have only came with pads for a 4870).
