    7970 Prices

    Maybe I'm just unlucky. I contacted powercolor for rma, hopefully they will test the cards before they ship.

    7970 Prices

    Received my powercolor refurbs toady.. card1- crashes the instant heaven benchmark begins to load card2- horrible clicking sound coming from the fan. I was able to remove the shroud and mess with the fan enough to get it to spin without the noise. Mining at default settings was giving me...

    Cryptocoin Mining?

    Have you checked your wallet? The pool I'm using was defaulted to deposit into my wallet whenever it reached 1 coin.

    7970 Prices

    I have 2 scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Hopefully ill have it all up and running tomorrow evening. I'm planning on running them at max oc on default voltage and tri-firing with my current 7950. Hopefully I won't have any major hiccups.

    Intel i5 4670K vs AMD FX-8350

    Not necessarily. I recently did a new build and the message that popped up saying i needed to revalidate my windows activation asked if I had recently installed new components. It took me through a phone activation and I was not required to repurchase my copy of windows 7. It was also the first...

    ASRock Z87 Extreme6 DOA

    Somebody forgot to put the standoffs in, Doh! Has to be shorting against the pc case. Edit- Thanks so much Rvenger (and Ketchup as well), I had totally overlooked the standoffs and it fired right up. Now to get my hard drives in and see how far I can clock this thing!

    ASRock Z87 Extreme6 DOA

    Yes, I had thought of that. I've tried the power switch on the board with the same results. I have a replacement board on the way, but its still frustrating having my new rig sitting in the corner.

    ASRock Z87 Extreme6 DOA

    I finally recieved all of my new parts for my 4670k build, but it seems that the motherboard is defective. I have tested the psu in another pc and it is working. When I try to power on there is zero activity, no error led's or lights of any kind. I've tested each stick of ram in every slot...

    GTX670 Upgrade and Overclocking Review (vs. 5850 crossfire)

    Figured I'd throw mine in as well. Seems like most of my advantage is in minimums. 7950 @ 1200/6000 Thuban 1055t@ 3.9

    AMD's response to the gtx670

    You should be able to get quite a bit more out of it. I went with the sapphire dual fan model. I was only able to get 1025 with default voltage. Been running 1175core 1450 mem for over a week now at 1.24v. The overclock allows me to run BF3 at ultra settings 2560X1440 staying above 60fps 95% of...

    Anyone else get a Catleap?

    I am on 120v, used the power cord that was powering my old hp monitor and it had zero issues.

    Anyone else get a Catleap?

    My monitor has arrived! Ordered tuesday evening and delivered thursday afternoon, can't beat that. I ordered from ta_planet. The monitor was shipped with no extra protection. Just the box which holds the monitor sandwiched between two pieces of styrofoam. The monitor arrived in perfect physical...

    Anyone else get a Catleap?

    I decided it was time for an upgrade and purchased the Achieva ShiMian QH270-Lite version of this monitor and a sapphire 7850 to go along with it. I think the single 7850 should satisfy me considering I'm moving up from a 4890 at 1080p. I don't spend much time gaming anymore, but looking...
