    Best Over clocking card on water for 400-450.

    I would get the 290s. if you are going to buy 290s, you should wait for the prices to be back to normal. probably a month or two, basically when retailers restock and there is enough units to satisfy the demand.

    The VRMs and everything on the card is heavily water-cooled, I haven't seen them break the 45C mark, the GPU temps won't even break past the 40C on full load when overclocked I will contact them and see what will happens but I'm not expecting them to accept it. @wand3r3r I'm not in the US, I...

    I meant the rest components of the system runs normally when the pci cables ONLY plugged to the right 6pin power socket (the one closer to the HDDs cage). off course the card won't run when only one cable plugged, my point is the other left 6 pin power socket of the card is creating an...

    Nope, the 7970 I've lost 2 months ago was on a different motherboard. Any help guys?

    yes I have tried a different PSU and the same thing happens. heck, I even solely connected the card to the PSU. guess that eliminates the chances of the issue being outside of the graphics card.
