    Intel H67 motherboards locked with K series?

    This is ridiculous. P67 motherboard and your K series integrated GPU won't work. H67 motherboard and your K series CPU won't have an option to change the unlocked multiplier. Well, have to see what is AMD up to. Apparently Intel is gone out of it's mind. :mad:

    Which 5870 is better

    Most of HD5870 reference cards can be overclocked to 950MHz on stock voltage (1.162V). They all have software voltage control, exhaust fan, digital VRM, etc. So, if you are aiming at 950MHz better get some stock Asus or MSI, because their overdrive limit is set in BIOS to 1200/5600MHz...

    Is a 5850 almost as good as a 5870?

    This generation a stock HD5850 is equipped all bells and whistles that it's big brother has, like Batman shroud, exhaust fan, digital VRM, 1GB GDDR5, software voltage control, eyefinity, etc.

    ATI 5xxx Winodws 7 performance

    Well, Nvidia runs GTX480 in 2D even slower : 50 MHz core, 68 MHz memory and 100 MHz shaders. No need to overclock HD5000 idle speeds from stock 157/300.

    Video Converter in ATI Catalyst 10.5

    Because you don't know how to change encoding profile (decoder/encoder/quality/bit-rate/audio settings and so on). Google is your friend. Try seeking for ''A's Video Converter'' (GUI for AVIVO).

    HD5770 overclock with MSI afterburner and pc freezes

    Use some other overclocking tool. I prefer "Asus smart doctor", because my HD5870 is from Asus and it's software is a lot more stable than MSI AB. I got lots of Windows TDR events since v1.30 of MSI AB and no problems with smart doctor at the same overclocking settings.

    Intel kills of consumer version of larrabee

    In 1998 year I built all Intel PC - PII, i440BX and I740 8MB GPU. There was a 3D demo on GPU CD, some plane flying in a canyon and it was going like a slide show, 1 FPS in 3 seconds on my new machine. So I740 was a office GPU. I mainly used it with MS Office, but I740 was not able to deliver...

    5870 gray screen crash.

    So you are proposing nearly 2 years old video card in it's EOL (not cost effective for Nvidia) over HD5870? What for, explorer.exe is crashing. What about GTX295? It is more relevant in comparison to HD5870. Some advice to people who had their CPU overclocked : when using new 5 series video...

    5870 gray screen crash.

    No offence buddy, but you did what typical n00b will do. First you got to check PSU amps and if they are less then 40A (dedicated to PCI-E connectors) then your PSU is no good for HD5870 overclocking. Other members are telling you to run CPU on stock speed and the main reason is that it uses...

    Why are the 5770 now using 5750 fan style?

    But "Phoenix" shroud has famous Vapor-X part and exhaust air turbine for free. When phased out you got to pay premium for this kind of stuff.

    Why are the 5770 now using 5750 fan style?

    The main reason why Sapphire didn't made HD5770 Vapor-X is that reference cooler already uses Vapor Chamber technology combined with exhaust air turbine. This engineering solution is superior to typical Vapor-X heatsink configuration, where all hot air stays in PC case. Now if reference cooler...

    MSI Afterburner 1.4

    I am using 1.4 right now. So far so good. Can't reach Asus bios limited clock 1200/5600 , but somewhere near it 1000/4800. ;)

    Win7 64+MW2+ATI= Fail?

    This game (MW2) is like a benchmark. It will load your GPU to 98-99% all the time, but will run at +100 FPS. Actually I did measure the frame rate in Rio mission. On stock it is at average ~110FPS. At 960MHz (GPU) ~ 130FPS. There were spikes above 300FPS and drops to 70FPS. GPU thermal load is...

    Win7 64+MW2+ATI= Fail?

    Same here. Playing Spec Ops now. Set your fan form CCC OD to manual 40%.
