    HP Touchpad 2A USB Charger $4.99 Free Shipping @HP

    Thanks for the info, on the apple communities threads the guys there are arguing that the iPad charger is bad for the iPhones because its a 2A pull. Some claimed that it charges the phones too fast and damages the batteries.

    HP Touchpad 2A USB Charger $4.99 Free Shipping @HP

    So what happens if you plug a device in it that was made for a 1A draw like a kindle or iPhone? Does the device draw at what its meant to draw or does it draw more and charge faster?

    Anyone having problems installing 10.12a or 10.12?

    I don't think its a typo... Every time I try to load 10.12 or 10.12a it also installs the old version of CCC. In the CCC information center it says the driver packaging version is 8.79.6.2-101215a-110532e, catalyst version 10.11. I've downloaded 10.12 and 10.12a from AMDs site and...

    Anyone having problems installing 10.12a or 10.12?

    I even tried an uninstall and driversweeper, cleaning all registry entries by hand and whenever I install 10.12 or 10.12a in GPU-Z or in the ATI CCC it shows the driver version as 10.11. Any other ideas on how I can clear drivers and get it to report the right thing or install the right driver?

    Cayman Crossfire X Hot/Loud :-(

    I wound up moving my 2nd 6970 to a x8 slot to put a 2 slot gap in between the cards because my computer started sounding like it had a hair dryer running inside it while playing games. I ran a few benchmarks comparing the two x16/x16 vs x16/x8 and really didn't see much of a difference even @...

    Wierd 5970 issue

    I have a 1kw PS. It doesn't have any 8pin rails so I'm using a 6-8pin converter. If the PS was marginal why would it survive a furmark at full load for 30 minutes or not crash in any games?

    Wierd 5970 issue

    My first Sapphire 5970 (non-oc) died unexpectedly a week after I got it. After getting the RMA back from Sapphire the card started doing some weird things. Every couple of boot ups or so after 2 minutes of idling it would artifact, grey screen, and recover with a message at the bottom of the...

    Sapphire support turn-around?

    When one of my 5970s bit the dust last week I personally drove it to Althon Micro in walnut rather than shipping it because I was going to be in the area anyway. They turned it around and had another 5970 for me to pick up in 3 days. For your card if your warranty is still good they have to...

    5870 to reference board or not to reference board?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I ordered one off of Ebay for 23$ shipped. Price but will be worth it in the grand scheme of things. Good luck on getting an answer from Ati. :) MH

    5870 to reference board or not to reference board?

    Silly question, for two 5870s do i need one ribbon or two?

    5870 to reference board or not to reference board?

    In my case the stock cfx ribbon isn't long enough since I need to jump two slots. My cards idle at 42 and 65-68 respecitively in a room that is 75 degreesish

    5870 to reference board or not to reference board?

    Assuming a PCIe space between cards are the rev2 card coolers better?

    5870 to reference board or not to reference board?

    Yep, at load GPU1 goes to 75 and GPU2 goes to 98-100. This thing shut down on me once already during a Heaven benchmark. I ordered a longer crossfire bridge so i can space the cards out.

    5870 to reference board or not to reference board?

    If you were looking for a brand new 5870, would you look for a reference board or would you look for a rev2? I have a pair of Gigabyte rev2 (ultra durable edition) 5870s in CFX and noticed that one runs 20-30 degrees higher than the other because they're next to each other on the mobo. Even...
