Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I believe it should. I have the same card from recent TD deal. At first I'm thinking to flash this until I found out that at stock voltage (1.112v), using CCC, I can get very stable 1100/1525 oc. That is more than the 7970 GHz edition even at Turbo Boost with much higher voltage.
Sorry to hear that.
My Visiontek 7970 came 3 days ago from the same deal like yours. Surprisingly, it's quieter and cooler than my already RMA ed XFX DD 7950. At first I was worried with all the comments regarding reference card but after running this a few days, I'm very happy with this card...
Your assumption could be right.
My Visiontek 7970's ASIC is 78.7% and the stock voltage is 1.112v
maximum oc I can get with CCC at stock voltage is 1100 core / 1500 memory.
That sits right in between your cards.
That's good to know. This is the first time I heard about this. Thanks for the info.
Sorry about that. Maybe you should rma it if it's still possible.
Lol..after reading some responses here. Apparently, I'm a little bit over ambitious. This is my first time playing with graphic card again...
Hi guys,
I just received the Visiontek Radeon HD 7970 from the current TigerDirect deal.
It's a very nice card and I'm surprised that the noise is even better than my last XFX Radeon HD 7950 Double D and it cools down better too.
I've been trying to OC the 7970 and the highest I got so...
Do you know what the latest BIOS is for XFX Radeon HD 7950 Double D (non Black Edition)?
My card has BIOS Version 015.013.000.010.000705 (113-795TDF73-102)
I bought this from Amazon a couple weeks ago and XFX support said that there is no new BIOS update for my card.
I'm wondering if mine has...
Thank you for sharing your setup.
I didn't know that Asus mobo has better fan software. It sound much better than my ASRock.
Just to let you know, the stock fan from 550d can go lower than just 1000rpm.
At least according to my ASRock's Extreme Tuning Utility. When I set the fan to target...
I'm not sure with that rad but just fyi, go look at Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme spec. It has 38.3mm thick rad and it won't fit inside this case with a 25mm fan on push/pull setup. I measured it with my ASRock Z77 Extreme4. As you can see at Vortez review's photo of this case, the top clearance...
May I ask what do you use to setup those fans? Or is it controlled by your mobo's BIOS?
I'm using ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 and there is only one choice of setup each time.
The one in that video is Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer.
I just bought it from Tiger Direct and I'm going to install this pretty soon.
Like others have warned you, make sure you measure your case's clearance and what type of fan you want to use.
I originally bought Rosewill Blackhawk and...
When it's done, mine is almost similar like yours except I'm going to use Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer.
Reviews say that it's much more silent than Corsair's.
So let's see what happen.
Thanks for the explanation, night_2004.
By any chance, did you ever try to mount Cooler Master Megaflow 200mm?
I'm wondering if that one will fit.
Also, with your setup, if you mount 2 x 140mm fan on the side panel, will the top fan also hit your H60's fan?
Hi night_2004,
I'm think you mentioned on earlier posts that you're using Corsair H60 or H70 mounted on the rear while also mounting a 200mm Bitfenix fan on the side panel.
I have some questions if you don't mind:
1. I have Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer in push pull config with total length...
