Update: Okay, so I took a bit of a risk. My 1070 arrived, and being impatient, not wanting to wait for a reserve PSU decided to test it on the current PSU. Luckily it didn't go bang in OCCT's PSU test. Seems to be stable (only left it for about 10m, which is alot longer than the ~15s the...

Just to give an update. Rolling back to stock settings on everything didn't help, that was one of the first things I tried. Unfortunately though the card now appears completely dead. I ran OCCT's PSU test on it (which puts everything under load). Within ~15s, the system black screened and the...

It's a long story but I'll try to keep it short and hopefully you'll all understand my gibberish. This has to do with my video card, the R9 290X Lightning from MSI. This all started about 4 weeks ago, when I picked up BF1 and noticed that this was happening https://imgur.com/QplUErV - followed...

Unfortunately I don't have any direct contact with MSI. In the UK, we have to deal with all MSI RMA's with the retailer (mine is Overclockers UK). I guess I could see if the retailer can get anything from them.

Hi, I unfortunately had to send back my MSI 290X Lightning in for an RMA to the retailer I bought it with, as the middle fan was beginning to make a really annoying grinding sound (this was even without any manual fan profile setup). My retailer tested the card and then sent it to MSI...

Thanks. So far it looks like I'll be waiting for Sapphire stock. Usually I would consider any HIS card but the colours they're using on the new one make me vomit :\

Hello, first of all, I fully well understand that this is such a small difference, I shouldn't worry about it, but it's still something I'd like to have explained. To start with this is the setup: Rampage IV Black Edition i7-4930K 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (CMD16GX3M4A1866C9)...

Any guesses as to when the MSI Lightning might become available?

Hello, with the non-reference AMD R9 290/X cards landing, I really want one. Problem is, I can't decide which one. Initially I was set on the MSI Gaming, but having heard it is lacking VRM sensors and serious throttling going on with it, I'm completely put off and the lack of reviews for...

Forgot to update the thread. I gently rubbed it off with alcohol and it came off. Now it looks fine :) Whatever it was, very weird that it came like that brand new.

So, I just got my brand new Rampage IV Formula. I was just taking a lot at the board, when this caught my eye near the right memory slot. It looks like a scratch on the lane or something. Can anyone make out what it is http://i.imgur.com/TQNYmK5.jpg Is it now dead.. what are the chances...

Oh nice! Hadn't seen this, thanks for sharing!

1080p @ 120Hz. I'd like somewhere around 90+ average.

As the title says, R9 290X or wait for 780Ti? I'll be mainly playing BF4 and various other games, such as Batman, Counter-Strike etc. I really don't know which GPU to go for :confused: - money really isn't an issue, so I'll take what can offer me the best performance. What would you do in my...
