    I've tried both mini DP connections on the card with 3 different active dvi=>mDP adapters on all 3 monitors & the one that won't turn on is always the one that is connected to the mDP port

    Updated tp 13.10 beta 2 and one of my monitors wont turn on anymore..What's going on?

    The problem seems to be only with my monitor that is connected via mini display port. The other two monitors are connected via dvi and work fine, the third one is connected via a dvi -> mini display port active adapter. With no drivers installed and/or in safe mode all the monitors boot up...

    Updated tp 13.10 beta 2 and one of my monitors wont turn on anymore..What's going on?

    Hey guys (and gals) having a little issue here. I installed Catalyst 13.10 beta 2 drivers today in hopes of it fixing my fps drop and stuttering issues with Battlefield 4, but when I got the drivers installed one of my monitors won't turn on anymore. I have 3 monitors that are all the exact...

    Artifacting in 3D Mark06/11/BC2 with 6990 Quadfire. Drivers, Video Card or what?

    Thanks for the replies guys! It was kinda what I thought too, a bad card. The reason why I didn't check the cards at first was because the artifacting was only occurring during the CPU portions of all the benchmarks, the graphics tests themselves all ran fine except for that so it threw me off a...

    Artifacting in 3D Mark06/11/BC2 with 6990 Quadfire. Drivers, Video Card or what?

    So yesterday I got done putting together my new rig and I'm experiencing some weird artifacts. They appear on CPU tests 1 & 2 on 3D Mark 06, Physics & Combined test on 3D Mark 11, Vantage CPU Tests and it occurred once on BC2 when I went to do game testing. Specs: (Blue bolded Items were...

    Stock H100 TIM or Noctua NT-H1?

    I always get crazy ideas every time I browse Anand and [H] lol. I'm going to order IX in a week or two. Want to see how the H100 performs compared to my NH-D14 first. Hoping it performs as good or better, going to LOVE having all the space back in my case! So since I'll be running the IX with...

    Stock H100 TIM or Noctua NT-H1?

    Well I figured if the stock stuff is good to just leave it instead of having to clean it all off, but I can't find any info on exactly what paste they use on the H100. I like the NT-H1 due to it not having any cure time. The IX looks pretty interesting, but doubt I'd have the balls to let my...

    Stock H100 TIM or Noctua NT-H1?

    Hey guys, Doing some upgrades to my rig tomorrow, one of which is the Corsair H100 to replace my Noctua NH-D14. Is the TIM that comes on the H100 from the factory any good or should I remove it and put my NT-H1 TIM in its place? Will be using the 2 stock fans with the H100 for now until I do...

    MSI Afterburner - Voltage Control on one card, but not the other?

    Hey guys, I got my new pair of Powercolor 2GB 6950s a couple days ago and have been trying to do a little OCing with them. I did notice that in AB I have voltage control on GPU 1, but not GPU2 even though both of the boxes that allow voltage unlock are checked in the settings. I thought that AB...

    new i7 2600k install gets warm

    That is NOT the stock cooler for the 2500K or the 2600K. I think the Tower Cooler was given to reviewers in case they wanted to use it for Overclocking, temp comparisons etc. Stock cooler looks like this for both CPUs => http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18597716&postcount=7

    i7-2600K build: Overclocking: GPU Unlock/OC

    The temp jumping from 26C to 40C during idle can be explained by the intel speedstep option. Your clock and vcore will increase as you use your pc. With my 2500K it sits at around 28C when im doing absolutely nothing. When Im listening to music or on the internet the temp will go up a little...

    i7-2600K build: Overclocking: GPU Unlock/OC

    I don't see that it was mentioned or asked by anyone else, but what is your ambient/room temp? If you're in a warm room idle will be higher of course. Also, why don't you run Intel Burn Test, AIDA64 Stability test or Prime95 to see what your load temps are? That would also help the members on...

    CPU Temps too High?

    Here's a good video that I recommend to a lot of people on how to apply thermal paste and what different methods there are, if you have a flat base heatsink that is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyXLu1Ms-q4&feature=fvsr I used the X method on my NH-D14, some like the blob and other the...

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    Nope, no clearance issues for me with the 212+ and the Ripjaws. Here's a couple pictures from my 212+ install where you can get an idea of how much room there is between fan and ram. If you do happen to run into clearance issues with the 212+ or the NH-D14, you can always move the fan up...

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    I was thinking about getting a few of the Scythe Slipstream 110cfm fans =>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-060-_-Product Newegg has a volume discount on these so I was thinking about getting like 3/4 of them. 2 for Push/pull on the NH-D14 and then 1 as an exhaust right behind the Cooler...

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    I'm sure I can get lower temps, just gotta figure out what fans to use and whether to go with 2 push/ pull or 3 fan push/pull/pull config. Noise doesn't bother me too much since I game with a 5.1 headset.

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    I think they're about the same, with the NH-D14 being maybe .5/1 db louder than the 212+ due to having 2 fans, but both were super quiet in idle and while gaming. I have a profile set up for the noctua fans where they are around 900rpm idle and when cpu temp is above 40 theyll spin at 100% or...

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    Oh the install wasn't too bad. Took about 40 minutes or so since I had to take everything out and remove the motherboard to remove the 212+ bracket and attach the Noctua bracket, reapply thermal paste, etc.. Hardest part was trying to plug the 8 pin power connector & two fans in at the top of...

    2600K @ 5.5Ghz. Super PI 1M in 6.786s

    Mannn.... And here I thought getting to 5.1 was a good accomplishment with my 2500K and you're sitting at 5.5 lol. Great job on the Overclock! Oh and nice looking rig! :thumbsup:. Out of curiosity what kind of voltage does your chip need to be stable at 5.0 or 5.1? Trying to get a rough...

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    I just want to see if i can get a stable 5.2/5.3 just to see what the chip is capable of, run some benchmarks and call it good. Would like to stay away from 1.5vcore, especially since I have LLC on Extreme Right now I have it at 5GHz, 1.37 set in BIOS, HW Monitor Pro shows a max of 1.39 & have...

    Upgraded 212+ to Noctua NH-D14. Results inside. 2500K @ 4.7GH & 5.1GHz

    I changed out the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ heatsink for the Noctua NH-D14. I got the NH-D14 in hopes of reaching 5-5.2GHz with reasonable temperatures. Below are Pics of install and size comparisons, temp results between the two are at the end. Sorry for the quality of the pictures, they were...

    6870 CFX, Voltage Unlock on one card, but not the other. Why?

    Having an Issue with the Voltage Control/Adjustment in Afterburner. When I select GPU1 the Core Voltage (mv) slider bar is there and I can adjust the voltage, but when I switch over to GPU2 the bar is greyed out. I'm pretty sure that GPU2 is staying at stock voltage because when I tried out...

    6870 CF & BC2.. What drivers?

    11.2 and new CAP it is. I was curious about this issue too. I expereience it every now and then with the 4890 CF I have now, but that may just be due to old drivers or something.

    6870 CF & BC2.. What drivers?

    So I bought 2 6870s that should be here mid next week and was wondering what drivers you guys recommend for crossfire with BC2? On my 4890s I had to run 10.5a to get crossfire to work so im not sure if this problem carried over into the 6 series or not . Thanks
