    Oh yeah, just ordered my second XFX HD 6850 yesterday to add to my system...can hardly wait to see what this crossfire is all about and hope the performance is there!

    System Specs:

    AMD Quad core 965 Black Edition
    XFX HD Radeon 6850(soon to have 2 of these)
    750 Watt Modular power supply(Crossfire and SLI ready)
    8 GB Ram
    More case fans are on the way also, HAF 912 tower,anywhere I can put a fan, one is going but I will have to secure the tower to the floor as it might have lift off! :icon_mrgreen:

    lmao, sounds about like mine I've got the Thermaltake V9 Black Edition case and it sounds like a turbine spinning up when I turn the thing on.

    Yeah, I have Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Bronze W0382RU ATX 12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply. This should be enough to do the job. I got this from BikerDog! :icon_teeth:

    When the fans are on low you can hardly hear them. When they are on high it gets loud. I wouldnt buy another fan myself though. Love them. Keeps everything cool!
