    My 7970 Gets hot :(

    I recently attempted to bump up the clock speeds of my 7970 but I own a reference design MSI card. I left the fan speed on auto simply because the sound is almost unbearable at anything more than 50%, and I was seeing at least 80*c at load. Is this normal? I will be watercooling some time...

    Monsoon Fittings?

    Has anyone used them? They're decent looking with the CF accents and I like how they come in packs of 6 for cheaper. I'm planning my first WC build and I don't want to buy garbage. I'm talking about these...

    WTB: 120hz monitor(s)

    I've been using an ASUS 24" monitor, and it's great, but I would like to go xfire soon and need a monitor, or 3 that could keep up. Looking to spend as little as possible, but please send any offers my way. 24" minimum. I have PayPal and could set up an amazon if absolutely necessary.

    WTB cheap 7970

    Just looking for a cheap 7970 to run along mine in crossfire. If sub-$300 if possible, that would be fantastic. I am ONLY looking for 7970's. no other card. MSI would be nice. My current is an MSI reference. Reference coolers are 100% fine, in fact it is a plus strictly because it would match...

    Why all the crying about the 7970?

    It seems like all that I am seeing is people whining about the 7970 being too expensive. While i agree that it is, both options are at this point. This is the part that bothers me, however. If Nvidia has released a card that performs almost identically to AMD's solution for this generation, and...

    WTB: 7970 w/ warranty ~$500

    As the title states. I would like to pick up a 7970 that is either under warranty by serial number (asus, msi, etc), or one that has a transferable warranty. I want to spend around $500. Not much more, but offer up. Reference design is fine. Please no D CUii's. Paypal only.

    Powercolor AX7970

    Has anyone tried out this car yet? It's the cheapest on newegg right now. And i am wondering about the warranty? on their site it says that all cards have a 2 year warranty, but newegg gives you the option to spend an extra $60 for the "extended 2 year." Is that for a warranty through newegg?

    Some SLI VRAM confusion.

    I think i understand that putting two 3gb cards still only limits you to 3gb of usable vram.. right? If that is wrong please correct me. Now my confusion comes in with the GTX 590. It is labeled as a 3gb card, but from the assumption above, and considering that it is 1.5gb per core, is it...

    GTX 590 or wait? Or find a temp.

    Consider that I could get either a GTX 590 for the same price as a 7970, but the 590 would be slightly used. Which would be a better idea? I don't care about temp/noise. I am only using one monitor at the moment. My real question comes into what happens in the future. If i plan on doing a 3...

    Eyefinity or 3D?

    I am kind of stuck right now. I currently have an ASUS VH242H and don't know which route to go. With the amount of cash i have right now, I could get rid of the asus and grab a nice 3D monitor, or i could keep it and get two more matching monitors. I really only game on this machine, which is...

    "Display Driver has stopped working" 7950

    Has anyone else had this issue? I am having a nightmare of a time with this card already. I cannot, for the life of me, get the drivers to work properly. I tried uninstalling 11.12 three times in a row without installing new ones, then installed 12.1, and It simply will not catch. I finally...

    OC my 7950

    I have a Sapphire 7950 OC, and oddly enough it was not stable at stock voltages at it's clock of 900 mhz. I lowered it to 825mhz and it runs like a dream. But i would like to go above and beyond that 900mhz, but I have never OC'd a graphics card before. I am wanting to know what increments I...

    Sapphire 7950 OC problem.

    I recently picked up a Sapphire 7950 OC from someone here on [H]. I attempted to play bf3 and it would crash. I attributed it to all the bugs reported in bf3. So i went and played a little FEAR 3 and what do ya know, within 10-15 minutes, the game froze up. It was not a full system lock. I could...

    bf3 freezing issues?

    I tried probably 10 different games last night and had all of them freeze up on me. It was not a total system crash. Ctl+alt+del saved the day, but after doing some research, it seems normal for a lot of people who have played this game. I did change a bios setting and changed my realtek audio...

    7950 BF3 issues?

    I just finished up my rig, and I am having issues with bf3. It will play nicely on maxed settings, nothing is overheating, and the game will just freeze out of the blue. There isn't any frame drop before it does, there are no warning signs, it just freezes. Are there known issues with these...

    Thinnest Bezel monitor? (Eyefinity)

    What is my best bet to cut down on the black bar effect. I have seen some videos where it is really bad. I would not be able to stand it. I already have one of these monitors: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052 , and figure that it would be easier to just pick...

    Card Sag?

    Does anyone else get some sag in their system from the weight of cards these days? I just put a 7950 in and I can't tell if its the cooler playing tricks on my eyes or if its off level. Ill put pics up later.

    Dvd burner. Sata 2 or 3?

    pretty much the title. I'm putting my new system together and I am curious if it will really make a difference if i plug my DVD drive into a sata 3 instead of a sata 2 port. Obviously more available bandwidth, but will it actually use it?

    WTB: Z68 board, DDR3, SSD, HDD, Case, and Maybe WC.

    I'm in the midst of a build, and one on somewhat of a budget. So far i have copped a good deal on a cpu and psu, but i haven't grabbed anything else just yet. I am in need of all that is listed. As far as a mobo goes, I will look at most of anything z68, but I would like it to be close to new...

    Watercooling. Which case?

    I have it narrowed down to a few that i have been eyeballing, but I have some questions. It is between the: Corsair 650D Corsair 800D Silverstone FT01 or 02 or the NZXT Switch 810. I would really like to have more room to work in without any goofy over the top designs, but still have room for...

    6990 or 7970?

    I'm kind of stuck. I am leaning towards the 7970, but I am not too sure. I will probably only be running one monitor for a bit after i finish the build. more monitors would be an after though. I also plan on watercooling this system. There is a 6990 for a great price with a block on it for the...

    Should I just wait?

    I purchased an i5 2500k because i found it cheap and wanted to begin a build soon. I have bought nothing else, as i am still researching. From the looks of it, so much new stuff is coming out, should i just run the system off of the onboard graphics until more of the 7000 line is out, and Nvidia...

    Budget 1155 board?

    I'm on a bit tighter of a budget for this build. I picked up a 2500k sealed on here for a good price, but need a motherboard. I will only be running one high end graphics card to start with, but the option to run dual cards would be nice. As for budget, I would like to keep it under $200, but if...

    Plexiglass Construction

    This is not exactly specifically for a PC, but I feel someone here might have some useful input. I have some plans to make a case for an Xbox 360 out of plexiglass, not just a box though (for those thinking it will look hideous.) What type of adhesive is best for gluing plexiglass together? I...

    Mineral Oil Submersion. Down Sides?

What are some of the down sides? I understand that it is hard to clean off of the hardware that was submerged...

    Cooler at higher speeds?

    I'm actually pretty confused right now... Under simple tasks, my Phenom II X4 940 was running at around 51*C give or take. Needless to say, my room temp is usually pretty high, which deffinatly attributes to that, but I decided today I would try and push it a little bit. I know the basics of...

They were used probably for 2 weeks of gaming daily, maybe 3 weeks max. They stay plugged into my computer via USB, but the only power going to it is to the lights in...
