Does anyone have experience comparing this with the U2410? I have two U2410 and am planning on getting a third but wanted to wait till Christmas time. Now that they have been discontinued I am thinking I should get one now before they are no longer available. If I wait and get the U2413 later...

I have the U2410 and it is great. I will be getting two more eventually but they are around $500 so I am trying to spread them out.

I thought that I should go with the newest socket to try to keep up with what is to come. 2011 was the newest one when I decided to start buying parts. I was supposed to get them one part at a time every week to spread it out but just ended up getting everything after I got a C2 3930k in one of...

Yes the BIOS update fixed all my problems. I had a gigabyte x79 ud3 with version F4. I flashed it with the latest verstion F9. Not sure if this will fix your problem if you do not have the same motherboard or even a different manufacturer. Also, The card will switch to 501 anytime it plays a...

ok i did a few things checked around and tried some tests to see if its stable. prime95 @ 4.5 ==> Crashed BSOD Intel Burn Test @ 4.5 ==> Crashed System Unstable decided to try 4.2 Intel Burn Test @ 4.2 ==> System Stable

Well I guess everything is working fine. Moved the multiplier to 45 and left everything else in Auto except I disabled the Turbo Boost. Computer booted up and runs games fine. I also increased the H80 to the highest profile to help with the temperature. So I guess everything is good to go...

Ok I guess i should give it a shot and see how high I can get stable. Since this is the first time I have overclocked anything I will ask for some advice. All I have read basically says go to the bios and up the multiplier by one and try it. If it works then try it again until it doesn't work...

Sorry I thought I had it in my sig. I have an H80. If I could get a stable 4.7 would it be a bad idea to leave it at that clock all the time?

Now that I have my computer up and running with no freezing issues. I have started to overclock. This is my first time overclocking and so far all I have done was change the multiplier to 40. I have not had any problems, and its been easy so far, but was wondering what speed I should be looking...

Funny you should mention the BIOS update. I just updated it this morning, I had version F4 and updated it to F9. Cant say for sure if this fixed my problems but I havent had any freezing issues again. I even re-enabled the hardware acceleration on youtube videos and they aren't freezing anymore...

Agreed. I am still experiencing freezes on my computer now while playing CIV5. Anyone have any other ideas of what to check and how to check it????

Did you get the exact same amount of random block errors that tscolin got? or were they different.

Thanks for the link. I am running the test right now on the 6770 and I did not get any errors. I guess I will just have to leave hardware acceleration disabled on my flash videos to keep it from freezing in the future. I will run the test on my 7970 when the next one arrives. Too bad I couldn't...

Nevermind . . . . . . . . . Just froze again on Youtube. This is driving me nuts, I am out of ideas.

Alright as hard as it is to do I am going to admit that I was wrong about it not being a software issue. I went to best buy today to pick up a "loaner" video card to use while my 7970 is getting replaced. I decided to stick with AMD to avoid any possible driver issues from residual driver...
