wtf were they thinking there.....and then the hot air just bounces back.....i'm gobsmacked....someone please tell me there is a logical explanation for this stupid ideaQuote:

oh, a closer look at the package...x1900 series compatible :woot:
what does that meanQuote:

that being said, i cant wait for ur review dnottis!
The XL doesnt put out nearly the heat of an X1800XT, especially when the X1800XT is overclocked. I have it installed and am gathering results.Quote:

dont forget to compare at different fan speeds for all the coolers please!
we all know how u hate the stock at 100 percent...but jes walk out of the room or turn up a radio or something :p:
edit: just read that review over at ngohq...
maybe someone should tell them about the thermalright v-1Quote:
We will find out how the first GPU cooler with heat pipes technology performs.
sorry man still don't get the meaning of your comment.......must be something in the hot Sydney air todayQuote:

......yeah pump some voltage on RAM and core and let's see what happensQuote:

interesting to see your results dnottis
try undervolting the X1800XT mem i was pleasantly surprised it clocked much higher
SIOUX said to under to 2.034v which helped him and i tried it with stock heatsink on my HIS X1800XT didn't do much
then i went water and tried lower at 1.985v mem and went from 936 to 963mhz artifact free and 972-981 with slight artifact in GT3 in 3d2k05 - before any higher than 936 would lock up 3dmarks heh
I just received an email from my marketing contact at AC. They shipped the coolers with washers attached - this was a mistake and they need to be removed. This spacing is most likely causing contact issues with the core and memory.
You can see them here...

I'll have to re-attach and try it later.
:slapass:
Funny - the other sites that already posted reviews would have just gotten this info as well....
isnt stock 1.8 for the mem? thats what it says in the overclocking tool...do i have to manually set it to 2.0ish volts?
interesting about the washers...
Mine did the same thing! I was clocking my mem @ 880 with ~1.97volts (both buffers and mem).Quote:
