I bought a pair of Sapphire HD3870 GDDR4 #100225L

I also bought a pair of EK Waterblocks for it as well. they were on sale for under $50 each at NCIXUS.COM actually they're still on sale

The nickle plated are an extra $5.

anyway, I find this card has the same design as the one in the first post except mine is a blue board and not red, plus the IC has a slightly different part #. The red one is a uP6201AQ while my blue ones have a newer revision of uP6201BQ.



I hijacked this picture from Ertu as it is exactly like mine.


I was wondering if there is any major differences in these two chips before I start soldering. I have already ordered all the VR for this already as I just got registration verification yesterday to post. only took a week. lol

My parts won't be here until sometime next week. so hopefully I'll have everything straightened out by then.
