Sounds to me like you know what you need to do, and if you go with anything but a 2G 4890 you'll be compromising. From your description it seems like you've picked the right card too. I know, patience sucks.
I too have moved toward quiet fans instead of powerful ones. One fan that's supposed to be pretty quiet is the Noctua NF-P12 for cpu coolers and the NF-S12 for cases. I haven't tried one yet but I plan to get one at the end of the week to try out.
You can't make a bad choice here as both chips are great. There just isn't enough of a performance difference to worry about it too much IMO. The dual will outperform the quad in most circumstances, and when the quad beats the dual it will blow it away. It equals out in the end. Mostly...
That's exactly the sort of response you're liable to get with the approach you've taken. I mean you've started a thread to debase a popular card and you've done it in obnoxious fashion. I can't think you'd actually believe that you would get praised for that.
Understand that I don't have...
The response he has drawn here is probably typical of his "uncivil" and aggressively single-minded approach. Who has he convinced with his argument? None that I see. Using facts, intelligent conclusions and persuasive yet respectful arguments are the way to win people over IMO. His abrasive...
Congrats to the guys that just picked up this great case, especially at that great price!
BTW I ended up adding a PCI blower fan over the PSU to try and catch some of the heat it generates before it wafts up to the GPU, and now I'[m probably going to add a fan controller.
Temperature designations can vary so they need to be identified. When stress testing Tcase comes closest in temperature to core/s, chipset is next highest and motherboard is the coolest.
On the flipside Tuniq customer service is atrocious. If Thermalrite provides any sort of customer service then it's a viable option, and I noticed that unlike Tuniq they offer replacement parts.
