What's the noise like on that baby after unlock vs before and in general?

RE: 460 cooler, what eve anyone does, don't get the EVGA External Exhaust version, it's runs hot n noisy. I'd say it goes Hawk(Frozr) > SOC > Cyclone > Reference (which is decent too)

So its nearly the time when the drought of pennilessness is over, and the funds flow over me ...anyway....those gtx 560's look very nice! Can get myself a nice deal @ R2500 for a gtx 560ti, which i rate is not bad at all and well within my budget...what you guys think?

Wow, that is a very good price for the 560Ti!

Other options that you can consider are:
VTX3D HD 6870 @ R2,199
MSI GTX 460 Hawk 1GB @ R2,220

Do it!

Lol at ur analogy!

And its done EFT'ed them now with my last available funds until i get paid. Hope this thing makes bread as well This will be the new edition to my rigs family...and once again i cannot comprehend the price of it considering its a gigabyte and its factory OC'ed. Only bummer would be that its such a good price that there is no more stock of it left of it and my dreams are dashed.... must remain positive!

I'd go for this personally.

Oh I see that's what you're getting... hit it.

hehe Seems the community knows a good deal when its around! Only prob is that i paid last night at around 6:30pm, and i checked the take2 site and it still says awaiting payment? Surely it should have cleared by now? I eft'ed from FNB to ABSA and usually the moola clears in 12 hours between banks? Am i rite?

Nope. The payment will only go through tonight.

IIRC: If you've done the transfer before 15:30, then the transfer would go through at midnight. If you do it after that time, then it will only go through the following midnight.

All i can say is wow! The performance jump is awesome! and the temps are so low, its idling at 38 and only goes to 60 Deg under load, and its hot in durbs. And the fan is so quiet, at 100% the fan is about as loud as my 275 gtx fans at 50%...very impressed.
