    Flickering screen with CrossFire enabled (R9 280X on Windows 8.1)

    I feel a bit stupid ;-) Somehow I switched the CF bridges, after switching them back all was ok. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks Rizen and Jakk for your suggestions. I'll try that as soon as my new PSU arrives and will report back.

    Flickering screen with CrossFire enabled (R9 280X on Windows 8.1)

    Hi all, I got a weird CrossFire issue, for system specs please see my signature. I was running Windows 7 before without any issue concerning this topic. Now on Windows 8.1, enabling CrossFire works in CCC, but any game trying to use both cards flicker heavily and gaming is impossible. They do...

    24" 60Hz TN => which 120Hz?

    This is a hard decision :-) BenQ seems fast, but I don't trust them concerning colors. Samsung is OK, but glossy displays just seem wrong for me. The other problem is, I'm not sure if going from 24" => 23" 1920x1200 => 1920x1080 60Hz => 120Hz is worth it. Thanks everyone for the...

    24" 60Hz TN => which 120Hz?

    My old Samsung Syncmaster 245B is halfway to Valhalla so I'm looking for a new monitor: Requirements: 24" or more 120Hz 1920x1200 or higher Not more than 400$ if possible no auto-adjusting of brightness/contrast etc. This monitor will be primarily for gaming, so I don't require a wide...

    New system - hoping for valuable feedback

    OK I'll then switch to i5 2500K. OK. But: i used one of these power usage calculators and I wasn't even hitting 500W. Do I really need - say - more than 600W? (Won't ever use Crossfire/SLI). Around 850 CHF, this is ~ 940 $ (for Mainboard, CPU, CPU fan, RAM and PSU) Switzerland. Only to...

    New system - hoping for valuable feedback

    Thanks, my intention was to stay in the area of around 80% PSU utilization to ensure efficiency. But you might be right, better buy some more watts and re-use that PSU later. I like the X-Fi Forte too, especially with headphones.

    New system - hoping for valuable feedback

    I spent some time researching pros/cons for different components, so this is the build I'd buy if no one directs me to other hardware. Purpose: Mainly for gaming (BF2BC, Racing and flying games). It should not be overpowered and consume not too much power. i7 2600K Scythe Mugen 3...

    New Intel ssd firmware released - 02HD

    OK thank you. I was confused because CrystalDiskInfo showed TRIM disabled, but I'll forget that then.

    New Intel ssd firmware released - 02HD

    You're right :-/ Rebooted now, changed to IDE mode in BIOS, tried to reflash, the same problem. At least the SSD still works. No TRIM with 02G9 right?
