I currently have two 3870s that are the Triplex version and both have the problem where they are stuck at 23% fan usage causing massive overheating. After the graphics curring out whilst playing Crysis i knew they were getting too hot.
They have now stopped working and i dont get any visuals at all so am sending them back to overclockers for a refund.
As i dont want the problems of trying to flash the bios on the cards to get them working or using RivaTuner to stop them overheating im looking for a make of card that actually has a working cooling system!
I use an Asus P5E so dont think i could switch to a GeForce card. Also, if the card that has a working cooling system on it costs loads i wont have crossfire anymore, ill just be happy with a card that doesnt burn itself up!
Basically im looking for a really good 3870 that has a working cooling system (1 or 2 depending on price) or a really good geforce (if my p5e can take one). I have a budget of around £280 providing Overclockers give me a refund!)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
