    Will i5 2310 bottleneck on Z77 MB with two 7850? (Closed)

    Termie and mfenn, Thank you for your answer. His XFX 7850 2G has already been OC from 860/1200 to 1125/1200 and that is 30% OC for the GPU core. I think this put it close to performance of 7950 at stock. Since he just wants another 7850, based on both of your input, I might as well wait for...

    Bad CPU/GPU/Mobo Troubleshooting

    Take out your GPU since you can use integrated GPU of i7-3770 as output to your monitor (this way you can rule out GPU) and remove the other 3 memory module to rule out any conflict with memory. If you have spare power supply, swap it out. All you need is power to motherboard, CPU and hard drive...
