Both cards are acknowledged in device manager and when i run a bench mark one is at idle and the other is at full load. windows 10 pro is the OS. the cards are in the 2nd and 3rd slot due to water cooling. But i thought that the top 3 lanes were x16 slots but i must be wrong.

Hi everyone, I have read the forums and tried everything i have come across but nothing has worked so far. I have got: - two asus gtx 970 turbo - GA-Z97X-SOC mobo I have checked both gpus individually and both work. I have also reinstalled drivers and flashed the bios. I installed one card...

Hey Everyone, Just over a year ago i setup my custom water cooling loop and i used the normal plastic tubing to complete it. I am now unhappy with the look and i know that i can produce a much more appealing machine. I however have compression fittings and i do not know if i can use them on...

Hi Everyone, I am having trouble with my newly built gaming PC. When i turn on my computer after 10 to 15 minutes it will shut itself down then reboot giving me an error saying "boot failure, some BIOS setting are not compatible". However, i have reset my BIOS setting on many occasions and the...

Thank you so much for the voltage explanation. I will stick to the ram you have recommended. I have also managed to scavenge a case and a optical drive off my brother, is there a better gpu you can recommend for the same limit (1800)? Thanks

I need help choosing a new graphics card, i currently have a radeon HD 7750 1gb DDR5. I was hoping to get a good card for $200 that will allow me to play the newest games. My psu is only 300w so preferably a low wattage card. thanks

yeah no problem guys, might not be for a while cause i am going away to celebrate finishing school :DDDDD

the ssd and more ram can wait, if the system holds for what i want to do then that is a bonus, but if it cant i can always order more parts in the future :) i think i am all good though, thanks buddy

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/pfirepfox/saved/#savedbuild_638924 finalized on that build: dropped my ram to 8gbs and dropped the graphics card to the 270x i don't think i will be using all of the capabilities the 280x has to offer (sorry mirakledba) and i am sure the 270x will last me quite a...

i will have to think about the graphics cards and how badly i need them because the price difference is quite a lot. Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case that case looks ok and i think it fits the bigger gpu

first case is good :)
