Sorry what do you mean turn it on and save on the return? I know it is unfair to powercolor because technically the card does what it's suppose to, so I will just suck it up to bad luck and keep the card.

Ok I will give those things a try. I was able to keep the temperatures at about 70 during firestrike by running fans at 100% but it still start artifacting after 1080 core or any additional memory clocking.

I am not sure, I am mainly getting it during the high fps tests in 3Dmark.

Yeah I'm not going to RMA it because of being terrible at ocing, but it does have coil whine even at stock clocks. I'm just wondering if there is something I am missing and not just because the card sucks I got isn't good.

Yes I started at no increase of voltage got to about 1050 noticed issues, went up to 100 got to 1100 before heaven stopped loading up. Went down to 1080 saw artifacts in 3DMark and then went down to 1070. I didn't realize though that underclocking can net you gains as well? How far did you...

Yep definitely not possible... artifacts at 1080 and benchmarks won't even load up at 1100. What are the advantages of underclocking? I am not too worried about the temperatures (Just that if adding 100 mv only nets me a max of +60 coreclock and a couple more degrees it's definitely not worth it)

Meldarth, I am using MSI afterburner. Is there anything else I can use to check if it is actually doing the +100mv?

Firebird, I have the Define R5. The temperatures aren't as worrying to me as the fact that even at +100mv I was only able to get a measly +60 on the coreclock before artifacting (which does not warrant such a high temperature increase).

I just bought a PowerColor 390 PCS+. My set up: Z97 Gaming7 i5 4590 EVGA P2 750W 4x4GB PowerColor 390 PCS+ First impression of the card to me was great, it had gotten great reviews. It seems the card is known for it's quiet and effective cooling. I installed the card and no real issues at first...
