    CATALYST 10.1 hotfix: Alleviates intermittent grey screen and vertical line corruptio

    The Hotfix didn't help me alot. I can't run with the 5870 - single monitor in te 890/1290 settings the "Auto Tune" sets the card to. I have been OK so far at 875/1275. The 10.1 Cataylst driver helped me more. I can now leave Overdrive ON and my fan can run faster.

    SpeedFan: Does it work?

    I have used SpeedFan with my ASUS P6T Deluxe Palm and it reports the same temps as ASUS's own Palm OC utility that came with the board. Works good for me.

    "Bigger is better" or something? You're not making any sense. True. If that was actually in the meaasge. Duh. It's not. XFX force told me I could pull as hyigh as 1200W. I don't see how but one thing for sure I won't be listening to anyone who suggests my systwm will run on 400W when everything...

    Can a rig have to much Wattage?

    I thought I was covered with my 1000W. NOT. I don't see me dropping back after the torture I went trough as the Corsair laid down slowly, day by day. XFX Force tech told me my system could pull 1200W which I don't see how. I only know my system broke. Now mjy system runs better than ever!

    Can a rig have to much Wattage?

    The PSU calculators rate the system at 750-850W depending on which one I use, Antec's, NewEgg's. Journeysystem's, etc. I thought I was so covered when the 5870 took out the HX1000W after 20 days. Maybe a coincedence? The nice little boost I found with 2 PSUs surprised me. Maybe the Corsair was a...

    Can a rig have to much Wattage?

    Thanks for the input folks! I have 2 PSUs as my Corsair HX1000W died after 20 days of running my 5870. It took a month to get this resolved. When I happened to have 2 500W PSUs and stuck them in to get by. Wola! My system run better than ever! I mean it got a nice boost. My mobo, fans & memory...

    Can a rig have to much Wattage?

    Since my XFX 5870 started going gray screen, them my Corsair HX1000W PSU ended up half dead. I started using a pair of Antec EA500W PSUs. My system never run so good! Corsair and myself reached a deak where I got 2 HX850W PSUs for my RMA of the dead HX1000W. So with a 850W running my mobo...

    Dual power supplies

    I need some PSU guidelines. I installed a XFX 5870 video card on 11/03/09 and my system run perfectly the next 20 days. I updated my BIOS to #1804 from 1605 on my ASUS P6T Deluxe m/board. I started having crashes and lock ups of mainly black screens. I tried my old 4870 video card with the same...

    PSU problem, and what UPS should I get?

    My Corsair HX1000W says 10 amps and I can't find any UPSes for under several hundred dollars. The Corsair died a month after I put my XFX5870 in. It drove me crazy as it didn't go out completely. I put 2 Antec 500W PSUs in and the system feels like it gained 10% performance. Maybe the Corsair...
