It's not new, so I post here:D

Although 5750 and 5770 are impressive in power consumption
but seems 4870 are somewhat better in price (HKD ~$950 vs ~$1260, approx. USD$ 121/$161)
So I get one:D

It's also come from Triplex as the post below

But seems 4870 are impossible for 6-pin-less isn't it?:laugh:
so, still one there
But result in frequency reduction to 700/900(3600)

Wow... simply amazing! With that tiny cooler it only hits 63°C? Excelent design.

I wonder how much of an OC you can get on that?
