Cheers for your help guys. I've gone for the 670, just so many reviews saying good things. Heat and power were probably the deciding factor, very hot here so even a couple of degrees can help. The coil whine was a worry, with the 7970, but I think the 670 will do everything I want. The last box...

Is it just the gigabyte 7970 that has this issue? I can get a saphire 7970 oc for $419 if thats the case. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1309&products_id=21322

My choice has come down to these 2 cards. Gigabyte ATI HD7970 OC Edition 3G [GV-R797OC-3GD] $409.00 http://www.umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=248&bid=5&sid=87008 Gigabyte GF GTX 670 OC EDITION PCI-E 3.0 2GB [GV-N670OC-2GD] $419.00...

Ran spinrite over it, took 2 days on a 20gig partition on a 40 gig drive. Then followed Grumpy's advice and ran "chkdsk c: /p/r" and I'll be buggered, it boots into windows. Spinrite found a some parts were unrecoverable, but all of the data my mate wanted seems to be intact. I held no hopes...

cheers mate, I always hate opening laptops, but I have 2.5inch enclosure sitting here somewhere.

Ah, Microscope diadnostic tool gives me the followin error on the drive- Code 10: Uncorrectable CRC/ECC Error – This is most likely a physical defect in the requested sector, which can be corrected by mapping during a low-level format. With MFM or RLL drives, it may indicate mis-alignment of...

A friend has dropped his laptop off (Toshiba A70) and it has this error- UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT _DRIVE STOP: 0X000000ED (0x84FD9D68, 0xC0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) This bluescreen error comes after the xp loading screen, it doesn't get to "welcome" screen. Same error in safe mode. Now having...

thanks Jen. GPUz confirms it.

gpuz actually reads it correctly (i assume)on the first "graphics card" tab. It says I am running at mem1040 and gpu 785. On the "sensors" tab though, it says 500MHz still.

My palit 1gb hd4870 sonic wont overclock the gpu clock in ccc. The memory clock adjusts and is sitting on 1040MHz, but the gpu clock is listed as 500MHz, in "current values", instead of 780MHz, and wont move. Temp comes around 40, activity 0, and fan (without override) is 50%. I'm using 9.4...

Very informative for me on my decision, many thanks to all contributors. Upon reading a bit more about Seasonic, Silverion77 is correct on their quality of build. Cheers mate. Since everyone has agreed that the 700w of the seasonic is more than capable of looking after my setup, and the great...

I must say that I am leaning towards the seasonic at this stage. Modular/700w/good price. The 750w Corsair, if modular, would probably win on reputation. But room within the case will be at a premium seeing the freight on an Antec 1200 pushed its' price out of my 'country located' budget.
