    XFX 6870 locked voltage :(

    I hear that the new XFX models such as the one i bought (XFX HD-687A-ZHFC) has locked voltages. I was only able to get a 30 mhz overclock on the core. I'm kinda bummed out by this. Do u guys suggest flashing to a diff bios to get it unlocked? BTW, I have tried the afterburner eula statement on...

    Get another 5770 or 6870?

    Hey everyone. Looks like its time for that upgrade! I'm on a limited budget so the most I can push is in the 6870 price range. BF3 has been put on hold cuz I need to upgrade. I found it pretty difficult to find 5770 crossfire benchmarks on the newer games, but I think it's pretty close if not...

    Overclocking my 955BE

    I have the C2 955BE and It needs 1.48v to get 3.8ghz stable. What cooler are you using?

    When should I get another 5770 for Xfire?

    The prices have been dropping down a bit and I was wondering when its a good time to buy another 5770. How long do u guys think it'll take for the prices to drop down to $120? I don't mind waiting a bit longer as long as my rig can handle the current games.

    5770 at 1680 x 1050?

    I play on a 23in. 1080p monitor with that card and can max out my games. Mass Effect 2, NFS: Shift, Dirt 2, Dragon Age. I use AA on some games, but not all. I would recommend that card if ur on a budget.

    What's the best CPU for a budget of around $200

    I could care less about Sandra tests and other benchmarks. I chose my Phenom II because it performs well in games without breaking the bank. If all you care about is gaming, then go AMD and save that extra $$ for a nice video card.

    About to pull the trigger on ASUS MS238H

    It's $199 w/ free shipping on newegg. I was lookin for a cheap 1080p monitor, but this has LED backlight tech so i couldn't refuse. Can I get an [H] approval on this? :)

    Phenom II 955BE temps ok?

    Yes that is true. Even if i lower the multi and increase my HTT, C&Q will not work. Anything 3.8ghz and over is no go.

    Phenom II 955BE temps ok?

    UPDATE: Good news guys! I guess my AS5 decided to finally cure and i was able to reach 3.8Ghz. The vcore had to get bumped 1.47, but the load temps hovered around 53-54 load using P95. I guess I was just a little impatient and had forgotten about AS needing a lot of hot/cold cycles. I guess this...

    Phenom II 955BE temps ok?

    we have the same fan setup, except that you have a full size tower w/ a 200mm top fan. that would probably explain the better load temps ur getting. we have the exact same idle temps. i might upgrade to a full tower in the future when i crossfire my 5770. my current midsize is starting to look...

    Phenom II 955BE temps ok?

    UPDATE: I switched my side fan to exhaust and changed the blowhole (topfan) to a higher RPM fan. I shaved off 2 degrees off my load temps. So then i tried upping the vcore to 1.45 and 3.7 ghz was stable (56 C load). I was like ok, lets try 3.8 ghz. Within 5 mins of P95, it crashed! I think i...

    Phenom II 955BE temps ok?

    I use core temp to check and not even bother with AMD overdrive. I use a push pull with cheapo fans (1400RPM), so that might be a factor. My cpu is a C2, so i guess my temps are within spec for the H50? I'll try to make my side panel fan as an exhaust and report back. For some reason, I feel...
