The gpu had the stock overclock (ftw edition) but I think that 750w would have been enough to run my rig... or rather (should) as for the 7970, the main game that was stuttering was BF3 and it was pretty bad. I used all the driver suites until 12.6 before I sold it. (to tell the truth I've been...

Thanks for the help, is there any other way to test the psu without risking another GPU? I also would like to be able to order the PSU so it'll arrive at the same time as the RMA'ed card.

Hey, I had a 7970 that was giving me stuttering issues and a 670 that just started artifacting horribly, and I'm just curious if I have a dying PSU... I tested it with a multimeter and measured 12.2v on the PCI-e plugs, so I don't know if that's acceptable or not. Could I get some opinions? The...

I ended up getting a backplate and a 9800gt as a physx card. I also knocked off a resistor on my card while installing the EK backplate... It requires a waterblock, and I used some nuts I found in my basement. I managed to reattach the resistor with some superglue, but it's way to small to solder...

Hey, just a quick update, I took all of your suggestions, painted my 7970, painted my sata cables, painted my wireless card, and turned my cooler... opinions?

Blowing away from GPU. Too poor to buy any more AS5 so for the moment I have to live with it... I appreciate all the opinions everyone! I just painted all my sata cables as well as my 7970. The cables look nice! the gpu... well, that's to be seen...

Camera's garbage... but here goes... Gotta give the OP a little love. and finally, for cable management: (note the headless laptop in the background)

Yeah... I've decided to ditch my 6870s today. I'm ordering a 7970 tomorrow :D so sick of crossfire's shortcomings.

Hey all, I've got a computer that's been sitting around for a bit as a server, and I'm looking to sell it... but I don't know what to charge. The specs are as follows: Phenom II 965 XFX HD 6870 500gb HDD Antec 900 case Some generic cd drive. 450w PSU 4gb ddr2 ram @667mhz Msi 790xt-g45 mobo I'm...

Hello, I just upgraded from a RAT 7 to a G9X and I'm loving it. I only have 2 complaints. One, the right click is rather "squishy" it has to be pressed rather far in order to register. Two, the middle mouse button is rather hard to press. I can live with both of these issues, but I was curious...

You have got to be kidding me. I sold my old 7900 gs KO for $35

oh, sorry... I neglected to mention that my mobo has built in 7.1 surround sound. Thanks for all the support! I'm looking through all these options right now :)

Hey all, I'm looking for a gaming headset, putting a car on the road this Christmas, I've got a rather limited budget. I'm looking at around $65 or less to spend, and I'd love to have 7.1 surround but 5.1 is acceptable as well. Top priority is comfort, then sound quality, then mic quality. I'd...
