I have a Gigabyte G1 970 & an EVGA SC 970. In nvidia control panel sli is disabled. I have enabled 8x/8x mode in bios and I have the bridge connected. I really don't know what to do to get this working, any help is truly appreciated, thanks. :) This is my computer -...

That's what I was thinking about CSGO, most people play at 1080p or lower (and have for a long time), so source engine must not like anything higher. And I'm assuming it's crashing in the BF1 beta because, well it's a beta (an EA beta mind you lol).

Hey everyone, so ever since I got my Acer XG270HU (months ago), I have had a strange reoccurring issue. Whenever I change my resolution, specifically in CSGO (from 1080p to 1440p), my screen goes black and says "no signal" and my computer crashes. The audio just cuts off and I can't do anything...

Alright thank you. :)

What should I ask them?

Hey guys, I am just wondering if I buy the Nexus 6 Model XT1103, will it work in Canada? It says it's the US model but I have heard that it may work in Canada. I am going to buy an unlocked version on Amazon probably so I need to know if this model will work here. Thanks!

Wait, I think I solved it! I found two posts and did both of them and it seems to have worked. I can now alt-tab without issues :) Here are the two links for anyone who has this problem in the future: http://www.overclock.net/t/1428650/gpu-automatically-downclocking...

I don't have the issue with any other game, just CS. I might try reinstalling drivers but this only happens to CS.

Whenever I alt-tab Counter Strike and tab back into the game, I notice a huge FPS difference... like a 60% decrease! If I don't alt-tab, the game eventually just freezes and forces me to alt-tab to continue playing... but then it seems to underclock my GPU and I have to close Afterburner and...

Thanks! :D

Oh, okay thanks dude! So this really won't hurt it?

Is the pump block in the proper orientation? I mounted my pump head sideways at first and my temps were hot, because there was almost no contact on the CPU, because of some capacitors that were beside the socket were not letting it make good CPU contact. Whoops :)

I have the Corsair SP120 LED fans and when I run one of them on the CPU fan header, it runs at ~1700 RPM. The SP120 LED fans are only supposed to run at max. 1550 RPM. Is this safe for my fan? Will it decrease its life span? I don't really know why it runs this high since it's max RPM is 1550. Halp!
