    Hyper 212 Evo - Good Stock Temp? & Really Loud?

    Have it running @ 4.5GHz but it keeps going from that to 1.6Ghz and vice-versa? It goes to 4GHz as well when using Prime95? :/ What is wrong?

    Hyper 212 Evo - Good Stock Temp? & Really Loud?

    Hello all! I have an i7 2600k and I just installed my GTX 1070. I have been using the stock cooler for years, but decided that I want to overclock now so I purchased a Hyper 212 Evo which was a pain to install and nearly scared me to death when it slid around but thankfully, it seems to be...

    Purchase 1070 FE, return it, and buy MSI 1070 after release?

    Hello all! I don't know if this violates the rules or anything on the forums so I am sorry if it does. It's not my intention and do not hesitate to close this thread if it does. I just sold my 390 for $240 so I'm about to run without a GPU for a little bit because I plan to pick up an EVGA or...

    MSI R9 390 to GTX 1070

    Hello all! I bought my MSI R9 390 Gaming 8G in January not knowing that the 1070 would be announced in May. I currently have the option to sell my R9 390 for somewhere between $265-290 and take that money along with some of my other money and put it toward a GTX 1070. Is this a good idea...

    MSI R9 390 performing worse than EVGA GTX 970 SC

    I think I'll keep the 970 then! I wish they had an 8GB model. That would make it even more amazing.

    New System wont boot with GPU plugged in

    This actually happened to me last night after I installed my R9 390. A BIOS update fixed it! Hope this helps! :)

    MSI R9 390 performing worse than EVGA GTX 970 SC

    Hello all! I've been looking to upgrade my GPU and have been debating between purchasing a MSI R9 390 and a EVGA GTX 970 SC, so I went out and bought both cards to test them on my PC. I plan on returning one and right now, that one seems to be the R9 390 which I was really excited about and...

    R9 390 without Backplate?

    I'm pretty sure I can't remove all of the other screws. The four screws seem to be the only removable ones. I think I am going to just return it tomorrow and pick up the MSI version: http://media.bestofmicro.com/H/S/503488/original/MSI-R9-390X-Gaming-Gaming-8G-Back.jpg All of the screws on this...

    R9 390 without Backplate?

    Hello all! I just purchased a XFX R9 390 and I was really excited to try it out until I found that the card won't fit because the backplate keeps hitting the RAM slot on my mATX board. Is there a way to remove it or is there another 390 I can buy that doesn't have a backplate? If not, what...

    Upgrading from HD 7850 soon

    Hello all! I am looking at upgrading from my 7850 soon (maybe in the next couple of months) and I've started looking for a new GPU. I was looking at a 970, but I'm a bit skeptical about getting one because of the controversy about it's VRAM. I want to get something in between $250 and $350...
