    Turn case fan off with temp

    I have an HTPC that I sometimes use to encode movies and such. Its got a stock CPU cooler and when run at 100% it gets a bit warm. There is a spot for up to 3 80mm case fans right by the CPU. Is is possible to install a fan (or 3) and use SpeedFan or similar to turn OFF the fan when the CPU is...

    Poor sad read performance

    I've got a Thinkpad with a 120gb OCZ Vertex3 SSD. I installed it not long after that SSD came out and recently I noticed the laptop slowing down. I assumed it was the OS so I reinstalled and am still seeing slow performance. I ran a benchmark to compare to what it was new which showed a very low...

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    I came across some info that told me the 7950 is built on 7970 PCB so I searched for 7970 thermal pad thickness since I could not find anything for the 7950. This brought me to this post: http://www.overclock.net/t/1196856/official-amd-radeon-hd-7950-7970-7990-owners-thread/2660#post_16324772 I...

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    The cards are reference Sapphire brand. I had 1mm pads of the VRMs and .5 on the ram, with this the card runs fine with 2D clocks but over heats when it jumps to 3D and a heavy load. When I remove all RAM pads it will boot and run at 3D clocks with no issue (other than the ram chips getting...

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    I havnt given up just yet... I tried flashing a different BIOS (specifically one with a lower gpu voltage), this didnt solve the problem however it did something. Now rather than the entire system locking up as soon as a load is applied to the video card I am able to watch the temp VERY...

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    No luck with the bios switch. I did not try loading a different bios but I doubt it would make a difference.

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    I have not tried the bios switch but will tonight. I did not see any sticker on the screws, maybe i'll try an RMA. The problem then will become that there are no 7950's in stock right now. Maybe I could get a store credit?

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    I don't think I can RMA it since I've removed the heat sink on both. I wish I could figure this out. :( Thanks for the help.

    FS: Sapphire 7950, MSI TwinFrozr 7950, EK 7970 reference waterblocks

    Sorry, I saw no mention of it being sold. I know cards are crazy expensive right now and 350 is probably a decent price but its too rich for my blood.

    FS: Sapphire 7950, MSI TwinFrozr 7950, EK 7970 reference waterblocks

    Is $350 for both cards or just the MSI?

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    I am mining actually, however that doesnt matter here. Loading up a game or folding client nets the same result. Yes, I have tried the cards in a few different systems, some Linux some Windows, different drivers etc.... I can take a rock solid system and swap one of these cards in, it will...

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    Numerous combinations.... Power supply is currently a 1000watt (forget the brand) but another system I tried the cards in had a Magna Gold Series 1200watt. Have tried other 7950s, both the same brand/model and different brand/model. Drivers are v13.1, ive tried reinstalling them as well as...

    7950 problem with 3D clocks

    I have two fairly new 7950 video cards, both of which have the same issue. They will each boot windows, display a desktop and run just fine but as soon as they switch to 3D clock speeds the whole system locks up. I thought it was a cooling issue so I pulled off the heatsink, removed the...
