Some good news to impart, finally.
GTX 590 comes with 3 dvi outputs. It appears that it makes a lot of difference as far as throttling is concerned, when it comes to plugging which monitor into which dvi. After a little trial and error, it appears using one dvi on the upperlevel and one on...
Holy Cow! I unplugged one monitor just to see if there's any effect on throttling. The effect is huge: GPU speed went from 612mhz (default) to 50mhz, Mem from 855 mhz to 67mhz, shader from 1255mhz to 101mhz. GPU temp is still declining as I type, I think it might just reach the level as reported...

You know how easy it is to doctor a pix with photoshop nowadays. I gain nothing by spreading false info that can be easily refuted.
I'm not familiar with forum postings, don't know how to upload my screen capture. If the the community demands some kind of photographic evidence...
I bought an Asus gtx 590 video card yesterday. There is one thing sticks out like sore thumb: very noticable fan noise and heat output even when the card is nearly idle in 2D desktop environment. My card is not overclocked, nor have I made any adjustment to the voltage.
I downloaded the...
Thanks to all for your help.
My little update:
1. I downloaded and ran "hardware-assisted virtualization detection tool" from MS, the report says my 980x has hardware virtualization and it's been enabled.
2. I put my cpu into my friend's mobo, and was met with the exactly same error message...
I recently bought an Alienware Aurora system that came with windows 7 ultimate 64-bit and an i7 980x Extreme. For the past few weeks, I had successfully installed mac os snow leopard under windows 7 with vmware workstation, had no problem surfing the net with safari or programming iphone apps...
After further research, perhaps overclocking q9450 to over 4ghz on air is not in the cards. Will oem E8400 fare better? I can still cherry-pick the coolest E8400 out of a tray or two. Would 4ghz be attainable in this case?
TIA.
I define stability as "running prime95 on each core for over 24hr without any error".
I can't say I'm not a bit dissappointed by your feedback, as I was under the impression the single greatest obstacle preventing most q9450 from achieving 4ghz+ is most MOBOs and RAMs are incapable of going...
I have the good fortune of my Q9450 being cherry-picked from a tray 100 OEM cpus. My buddy, who works at a computer store, doesn?t have the time to overclock each cpu individually, what he did was picking the coolest running Q9450 out of 100, which I believe should be darn good.
Anyways, my...
