    Have two 7970s looking to get a third.

    Unfortunately, there are no waterblocks that fit that card :/. You can use the ek configurator (http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/) to see if a waterblock is available. Also, I think the only PCBs version that are reference and have support for waterblocks (other than the Asus DCUII) is...

    Haswell Pricing

    I have an i7 920@4.1GHz. I'm definitely upgrading to haswell when that's out in June... Or if the Intel Edge program has another 3770k deal out this summer, I may try and find someone to pick that up for me and then my next upgrade would probably be Skylake or if AMD is comes out with something...

    6990 powers down in any game

    Yeah I hear ya, it used to hit up in mid to high 90's, but now once it gets to 58-62c it'll just shut down and it's specific as to what I'm doing too. If I launch furmark it'll run fine, although the VRM temps will be in the low to mid 50's to low 60's, but if I run a game the vid card will...

    6990 powers down in any game

    Yeah, apparently just from looking at the serial, they told that the warranty had expired and without a receipt I was boned. I looked at my online statements and there it was in May of 2011. It only lists the purchase price, but I didn't buy anything else at the shop for that price. I called...

    6990 powers down in any game

    I tried my ocz psu and the same issue occurred :/. If the VRM temp (GPU2) goes up anywhere between 58-62 degrees it does look like it'll power down, so that could very well be it. I read over their warranty information and it looks like I'll need the receipt and I need to take it back to the...

    6990 powers down in any game

    It's running at 880/1250 on the second bios. I've also tried the first, both at default values. My PSU is 2 years old, it's a Silverstone strider 1000w (80+ silver). The funny part is that this card gets super hot with 99% of both cores running with the automatic fan profile. I've been able to...

    6990 powers down in any game

    Hey all, I have a 6990 and I purchased it two years ago. I haven't had any issues with gameplay and even though the card ran particularly hot when playing any graphic intensive game that pushed the card to 90-100% load, it was doing well other than the crazy loud fan which I could deal with...
