Congrats Jalapeno, RT and LOL_Wut_Axel on your milestones! :thumbsup:
Thank you!
I decided to take the gamble at around 1AM and dust off a Sapphire HD 7870 I had laying around that I hadn't used in over two years because it came with a manufacturing defect where the capacitors were under-specced and if you'd game for 10+ mins it'd cause a gray or black screen and the system would immediately crash prior.
I turned the computer off, cleaned it with my electric duster, and added it to see what'd happen. I turned it on, lowered the voltage from the default 1.25V or so to 1.1V and it's been working flawlessly for 16 hours now.
Looks like I'm gonna be good now for 200K PPD or so with the 280/270/4790K (6-thread SMP) combo. :biggrin:
