    Faulty PSU

    Within the last two weeks, my system has been randomly restarting on me. Sometimes it's within 5 minutes of restarting the last time, and sometimes it's hours later with an average of probably twice a day. It's not logged in event viewer as an error or anything. I haven't changed anything about...

    Which Sapphire 7970?

    I want to get rid of one of the 7970s because I haven't played any fullscreen games in a while, and Xfire is a waste if you're not fullscreen. I have two Sapphire 7970s - 11197-01 and 11197-03. 01 is obviously reference PCB and it has a higher ASIC quality at 73% where my 11197-03 is newer...

    Wireless Extender, Repeater, or something else?

    Right now my modem and wireless router are near my desktop. I use ethernet to my desktop, and I receive wireless with my Xbox One. There are moments of latency that are really annoying that I think I can attribute to the connection being wireless instead of wired. So I have a few options: 1)...

    HTPC Streaming

    What method do you guys use to grab and stream videos from your desktop computer to your HTPC? Both are Win 7 for me? Homegroup is an option, but I'm forced to move the individual movie over to the OS drive to stream to my HTPC if I want to use it. Is there a way to give my HTPC access to the...

    Best way to move OS from RAID0 SSD to single SSD

    I'm looking to break my RAID0 and move my current Windows 7 OS install to a single SSD currently in that RAID0, using the second for my HTPC I'm currently working on. Is there a safe way to do that? I'm thinking it should be easier than HDD -> SSD since the drivers would be the same, but I'm not...

    Weirdest Problem I've Ever Encountered

    I recently purchased a second 7970 for CFX, and I've been having some issues with the drivers. Initially, I thought waking up to a computer that had no hard drive activity light blinking and wouldn't wake up (but I heard the fans) was a result of bad drivers, so I've been troubleshooting that. I...

    i7-2600k iGPU artifacting

    Anyone have trouble with artificacting using the iGPU of SB? I have one monitor plugged into the HDMI out of my Sabertooth Z77 using the iGPU and one monitor plugged into my 7970. When both are plugged into my 7970, there are no problems, but when I switch the lower res monitor over to the iGPU...

    Sapphire 7970 Squealing

    I've recently noticed my 7970 make much more noise than usual. I've gotten some coil/cap whine in the past, but this is far worse. When I switch to certain webpages, I get 1-3s of squealing that slows my computer down immensely. I can see the current spike with GPU-Z. It's not going particularly...

    Problems setting up a RAID on Sabertooth Z77

I've selected RAID in my BIOS, but I can't pull up the utility to create the RAID by pressing cntrl+1. It's not doing anything...

    Is this a driver problem?

    I recently added my Sapphire OC 7970 with 12.4 Drivers. I had a problem with the desktop showing up under a couple of different conditions and was forced to restart. A couple of times I've seen this during boot. I have not ever seen this once the OS is going. Is this a driver problem? I...

    7970 lowering VDDC at Idle but only with a single monitor?

    So from GPU-Z I see that the VDDC on my 7970 lowers to .85V at idle and goes back up at a load. The curious thing is that by plugging in a second monitor (first DVI, second HDMI, works both ways), the VDDC goes back up to 1.1V and starts pulling 26A... with no load... Is this a known issue...

    120 Hz Monitors... FPS?

    Is it safe to assume half the effective framerate for a given card at a given resolution vs a 60Hz monitor? I see almost all benches using 60Hz monitors and would like to have an idea of performance at 120Hz.

    Scythe AP-15s not running at 1850 rpm?

    I'm trying to test my AP-15s to see why one intake reads as 1850 rpm while the other reads as 1775 rpm. What does the sense signal look like? Would I need a oscilloscope to see it or is it a DC voltage? I feel like i'm getting beat frequencies, and I want to test my own sanity :D
