I can't believe so many people on here think they are "Captain Corporation Saver!" This is a multi million dollar company that produces these $359.99 GPU's for probably $30. Who the hell are any of you to tell me what I'm doing is wrong? Mind your business, I wasn't posting on here to get...

If I was in the business of product reviewing and wanted to give them every detail of what happened I would include that I OCed the card. However I wrote down hardly any details of what happened. I simply wrote, "worked fine for about 2 hours, tried to play a game, it turned my PC off and now...

I see where you are coming from but I have to say I think you have misjudged the situation. I never said, "everything was great until I overclocked it" before doing ANYTHING I OCed the card to match my EVGA. This included raising the core clock about 50 points and the memory clock 100...

Ironically the MSI Twin Frozr II OC I got has the military high grade capacitors. Don't let this discourage you, I have heard plenty of people say these card OC great and are overall amazing. I think I just got one of the very few bad cards. Besides, this could have happened with any brand...

Thanks for cheering me up, haha. I'm sure I just got a bad card. I will send it back Monday so the new card should arrive sometime the following week. Once it arrives I will let you all know how it goes. Andy

I am not even RMAing it to MSI. Newegg has approved my RMA for "defective" product. I doubt they will even question it, but to clear the air, I didn't mention OCing. I just said the card was fine for about 2 hours, then when I went to play a game it shut down my computer, and it wouldn't...

Thank you! The Twin Frozr guy is me by the way, and I was just thinking the same thing. My EVGA is clocked at 850/1700/2200 at 1.063v. Twin Frozr died at .975v with same clocks. It came stock at .950v. This is well within the limits that MSI has set in their Afterburner program. If...

I'm not sure I understand your post. Are you saying the problem is that I had my cards set at different voltages? I was under the impression that the clocks had to be the same but the voltages could be different.

Ah I see. After talking to people on another forum, they basically told me that the GPU I got may have just been bad and that these things happen. They said just to RMA it and get a new one, chances are, it will work fine. Sound about right? Andy

Yea I turned the voltage up from 950mv to 975mv. When you say sensitive RAM do you mean the GPU memory or my system RAM?

Hey everyone. I just received my MSI GTX 570 Twin Frozr and set it up in SLI with my EVGA GTX 570 SC. Everything was running great at first. I clocked the new card to 850/2200 so it matched my other card and ran 3DMark11 for a score of P10106. I was very pleased because I got this card stable at...

Yea, its called UEFI but this is actually the console OCing program (I forget the name and I'm at work). I used the EFI to OC, I just took some screens because it lists all my settings. I agree, there must be a way to lock the voltage, although I don't even care to do this, it just struck me...

Hey everyone, I recently built a new system and decided it was time to get involved in the overclocking scene. I couldn't be happier with my purchase's (even though SB has the SATA port defect). Here is my new system: Core i5 2500K Sandy Bridge ASUS P8P67 Pro G Skills 8Gbs (2x4gbs) 1600 RAM...
