    7970 changing voltage in Afterburner does nothing

    Out of curiosity, how hot can the GPU run before I should start worrying?

    7970 changing voltage in Afterburner does nothing

    On a side note, is it safe that my 7970 idles at 68 degrees C? I have 3 monitors, so idle temperatures have always been higher (it was around 35 degrees back when I only had one IIRC). During gaming, it only gets to around 75, and running 3dmark Firestrike puts it at 82 max. Is it fine for it...

    7970 changing voltage in Afterburner does nothing

    Hello, I have a Sapphire 7970 OC w/boost (the blue PCB one), and I'm using MSI Afterburner to overclock it. I am using the second BIOS setting, where the core clock is 1000mhz and memory is 1425mhz. My card's ASIC quality is 81.7%, so its stock voltage is 1050mV. Initially, I was confused as...

    NVIDIA Driver detecting only one card, SLI not working

    Yes, the Ultra 40 M2 seems to support SLI: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19127-01/ultra40m2.ws/819-7577-11/819-7577-11.pdf 5-23 is the section that covers how to enable SLI (by turning it on in the Nvidia control panel, although the option doesn't show up for me) UPDATE: Removing the SLI bridge...

    NVIDIA Driver detecting only one card, SLI not working

    Hello, I have a strange issue where the Nvidia drivers on my computer are only detecting one of my two cards. My machine's specs are as follows: SUN Ultra 40 M2 Workstation 2 X Opteron 2222 Dual Core, 3.0ghz 16GB ECC DDR2 RAM (Although I get a message at POST saying Bad DIMMs from slot 0 to 3)...

    Overclocking a 7970 (artifacts)

    Tried Trixx, same behaviour. However, I discovered that I need to restart my computer in order for the graphical artifacts to disappear, otherwise, even resetting the clock speed back to default still causes artifacts to appear. I've currently managed to bump it up to 1050mhz and restarted my...

    Hello, I have a Sapphire 7970 OC w/boost with a stock voltage of 1.025V, running at 1000mhz core. I was trying to find out how far I could go without touching the voltage, but I the moment I push up the slider, Google Chrome already artifacts like crazy (squares showing up on the screen, with...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Just downloaded Passmark and tested it, my i5 2500k gets 2125. The X5650 OC'ed gets a solid score though, considering that it's a 6 core processor.

    Will upgrading an i5 2500(non k) to an i7 4770k and OC-ing it give more performance?

    Take a look for these benchmarks and decide for yourself: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2012/05/01/intel-core-i5-3570k-cpu-review/6 http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1158&page=13

    3930K to 5930K

    Depends on what you're using it for, I would say. If the difference in performance is similar to this: http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1158&page=13 Then I would say it is silly and an absolute waste of money. In real world scenarios, I would say an average gain of...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Wow, Burpo your X5650 @ 4.8 gets similar single threaded performance as my stock i5 2500k @ 3.3, judging from your benchmarks. That's actually quite impressive; I thought it would do much worse for single threaded applications. In fact, I didn't know that overclocking added so much to a...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    I'm not sure, as I haven't benchmarked my 2500k yet, nor have I overclocked it to 4.5+. I'm not a huge fan of synthetic benchmarks, though. I was mainly basing it off of this: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/288?vs=142 I'll probably stick to the 2500k after overclocking it a bit more...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Does the X5650 overclocked run similarly to an i7 970 or something? It seems like it's still not as good as an i5 2500k for gaming, which is fine since I will be using the more gaming oriented processor. It's only if the X5650 ran better in games as well where I would be tempted to keep it for...

    Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

    Hello, Just out of curiousity, would an i5 2500k @ 4.0ghz be better or a Xeon X5650 @ 3.6ghz for rendering/productivity? How about gaming? My dad does some heavy video editing/rendering, and he's been complaining that his dual Opteron 2354's haven't been cutting it due to the low clock...

    High temperatures for closed loop water cooling

    Sorry for the double post, but I got the Zalman LQ-310 and currently at stock speeds, my CPU is running at 29-30 degrees at idle. I'll be RMAing the Antec one shortly. Thanks everyone 谢谢你们

    High temperatures for closed loop water cooling

    Admittedly, I think I used slightly too much the last time I put it on. However, the general consensus seems to be that if one of the tubes is hot and one of the tubes is cold, and the radiator is cold regardless of how hot the block is, the pump is not cycling liquid through the entire loop. I...

    High temperatures for closed loop water cooling

    Hey, so I hooked up the pump 3 pin to a fan controller and set it to run at full speed. However, I still get around 50 degrees idle, and 80+ when running Prime95. I even set the voltage offset to -0.1V. After putting my liquid cooler back in, I think it ran hotter than the stock cooler. At...

    High temperatures for closed loop water cooling

    Ohh, I see what you're saying now. I'll try connecting the pump directly to the PSU then (assuming I have the right connector?). It also seemed suspicious because when I felt the water block, it felt quite hot, but the radiator felt completely cool. And yeah, it seems suspicious for the CPU to...

    High temperatures for closed loop water cooling

    Hello, It was directly connected to the 3 pin on the motherboard. Do the fan headers on the motherboard not give out 12V? I'm really curious now, do different motherboards set the CPU at different voltages? When I get home, I'll try putting the H2O cooler back on, and then set the offset to...

    High temperatures for closed loop water cooling

    Hello, I reverted to stock speeds, stuck the default cooler back on, changes the cpu vcore mode to "offset" and now I get around 40-50 degrees idle. Could it be because my old motherboard made the CPU use less voltage? I remember that it used to not go over 60 degrees load, either. At stock...

    AMD Never Settle Bundle Shrinking...

    I think the coupon says that if you redeem your code, you need to use all 3 of your choices at once. At this point in time, there are less than 3 games in the list that I really want. Not releasing anything anytime soon would make sense from a business standpoint if it really is that profitable...

    AMD Never Settle Bundle Shrinking...

    I hope they refresh the game list so that it accommodates newer games before Dec 2013, when my gold coupon expires. If they can refresh it so that it had as many AAA titles as it did when it just launched, that would be nice. Titanfall, BF4, GTA V or something.

    Well Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite were part of the original Never Settle Reloaded bundle, which got replaced by Never Settle Forever, which is fine.

    So Far Cry 3 got replaced by Thief, could be a good or a bad thing from different perspectives. Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite got replaced by Never Settle Forever. Couldn't help but notice that Sniper Elite V2 got removed as well recently. Is this the end of Never Settle?

    The AMD Mantle Thread

    IMO Mantle isn't necessary. Games run fine nowadays on DirectX and OpenGL (for anything that DirectX doesn't run on). As a 7970 owner, I'm not excited at all. The thing that pisses me off most is when AMD criticizes Nvidia's PhysX and CUDA for being proprietary, and then pull this proprietary...

    i5 2500K bottleneck?

    That's the difference. Yes, the CPU might occasionally bottleneck the card so it doesn't run at 99% all the time. Or, the game just might not be demanding enough to make the 7970 run at 99%. However, being noticeable is a completely different thing. I have personally not seen my CPU bottleneck...

    I still find little reason to upgrade.

    There's no reason to upgrade for you. I had two 5870's and it sill ran everything pretty much maxed (provided it didn't take too much VRAM) to this day. I was just tired of the crossfire issues that it had. If you have a 6990, you don't need to upgrade. If you have like ancient or no hardware...

    i5 2500K bottleneck?

    You won't notice a bottleneck, and it would definitely be playable. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that every generation after the 2500k has had marginal improvements at best. The 920 to 2600/2700k gen was a huge jump in performance, but a 3570k/Ivy Bridge was only slightly better and...

    7970 overclock auto shutdown

    I am using this adapter: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX32414 The Sapphire 7970 actually needs 2 8 pins, which is why I am running into this problem. If it was a 6 pin + an 8 pin, I would be fine. I am also tempted to believe that the issue is the Sata to molex adapter, but I've seen...

    Just tried it, I get no errors. I also don't get a BSOD or anything either. I think it's also worth mentioning that once I turned on my heater at the same time as I am gaming on my laptop (this happened while I was playing CS:GO), the entire basement fuse tripped. I might actually try and...

    7970 overclock auto shutdown

    I never had a 620W, I only have a 750W and a 1050W. I actually do have a Delta (same brand) 600W lying somewhere, but IIRC the cables were too short. I also don't know if 600W would be enough, since I have 4 hard drives, 5 fans, and 2 GPU's. If worse comes to worse, I can just keep trying...

    7970 overclock auto shutdown

    I'm almost positive that it's my power supply. When I was using the 750W one, it pretty much instantly shut down around 3 seconds after I was in-game in Crysis 3. With the 1050W one, it gave me around 5-7 minutes. The ASIC quality of my card is apparently 83%, and I've seen most people with a...

    videocardzAMD Radeon R9 290X confirmed to feature 64 ROPs

    At that point I would probably just get the 20nm card. The difference between 7xxx and R9 will be smaller than R9 and next gen. Added to the fact that it will be cheaper since they don't need to do the whole big die strategy to get performance increases

    7970 overclock auto shutdown

    Both are Delta ones, pulled from HP workstations. I have a 750W one as well as the 1050CB A, the latter pulled from an HP XW9400 workstation. I switched it back to the 1050w and made sure that the 8 pins aren't all coming from one rail (which was difficult since this psu has a boatload of sata...
