    New 290 Random crashes with AMD Drivers

    I just updated GPU-Z to 8.0 and found something very interesting on the history: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2418/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-8-0/ Any of you having troubles were running an older version of GPU-Z? My 290 vapor-x wasn't affected by this, but maybe it's the combination with...

    Photoshop CS6 x64 sometimes jacks up images when "Use Graphic Processor" is turned on

    I don't use Photoshop, but if you install AMD's OpenCL SDK.... shouldn't it allow you to check that OpenCL checkbox? Try installing it. Maybe using OpenCL fixes your problem. http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/

    AMD FX 8350 OC 5Ghz

    ^ +1 You'll have to drop your OC a bit for it to be completely stable. You can also use Povray's latest beta to test stability. The beta is fully multithreaded and has a built in benchmark. http://www.povray.org/beta/

    Any amd cpu worth gaming on?

    ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 and FX-8350 Overclocking

    Upping up the voltage could kill your components.... so, it's a risk. If your are a newb with OCing... I would advise against it.

    ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 and FX-8350 Overclocking

    In BIOS, set memory speed, and latencies as listed on your memory package. (4 latency values, I guess) At least, that's how I solved it on my Sabertooth, with Gskill 1866.
