WHAT? I CAN MOVE MY mouse to the other screen but it says cable not connected on that screen 😵

Go into the AMD catalyst control center and see if you can enable it there.

 

[Mirakledba]

forget it. I clicked second display ONLY and the second display worked and now it wont show on my main display....i cant see the screen...on my laptop..what do I do ? 😵

 

[tiny voices]

Are you trying to connect a laptop to your desktop to use as a monitor. What is this mention of a laptop. I thought you were connecting the second monitor to the desktop.

 

[Mirakledba]

I am. I JUST CANT SEE ANYTHING ON MY MONITOR..Its called dual monitor disaster....disabled one and the other doesnt work. So i got my laptop to tell you. So...Im in a hole 😵

 

[tiny voices]

Unplug the second one and just plug the main display into the GPU.

 

[Mirakledba]

I did. It says checking signal...than goes to "DSUB " No signal" . Forget this dual monitor thing... I JUST WANT TO SEE

 

[Mirakledba]

In the bios. How do I boot into safe mode....hm

 

[Mirakledba]

Guys Im kinda stuck here...how do I get into safe mode using the bios...I cant see anything on the monitor. after leaving the bios, screen goes black cause of the setting I put my mistake.

 

[azzazel_99]

Plug the monitor into a different slot on the gpu. Find one that works boot up and change the setting.

You can't. Safe mode and the BIOS are two indirectly related things. In order to access safe mode you have to wait for the Windows startup screen to appear then you hit the F8 key to enter a screen where it gives you a variety of Windows boot options. Then select "Safe Mode Command Prompt" and you can enter safe mode that way.

 

[Mirakledba]

Well...the thing is...I cant see. So I wont know what IM clicking. Should i plug it into a TV?

 

[Mirakledba]

Crap I dont know what to do. Its 3 am here. Ill try to fix it tomorrow :/

boot the system with JUST the DVI screen connected and get into windows(I know you can not see, but you may hear), hit START + P and hit enter(normally this tells the system to use one screen).

Failing that, in windows disconnect and reconnect the screen. on newer versions if Windows this normally will make the screen primary.

Good to see a fan for the VRMs

A bent 90 degree piece of strapping may allow you to bolt it to the rad close to the heatsinks on the mosfets if you wish to try that.

I setup something similar in 2 systems(one was just on the back fan and the other on a radiator.).

Your system seems to have LOTS of airflow so it may not even matter.

 

[Lutfij]

I'd like to see in which part of your house its located. Seems like a trophy up there and its perfect!

Oh yeah specs?

That's a good idea. The machine is used for mining... all the temps seemed good software wise until I touched the VRM heatsink and it was hot!! Enough to burn my finger... So I added to fan and all is well now. And yes, lots of airflow (open air) and pretty annoying because it's a dust magnet.

Oh yeah specs?

FX-8150 @ 4.5GHz (does 5.1GHz easily but the board has horrible vDroop)
8GB Patriot Sector '5'
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Revision 1.2
H60
Antec HCG 620 (Seasonic)
2 XFX DD 7870GHz
cheapo DVD drive
500GB Seagate Barricuda
Antec Lanboy Air Red
Steel Series Merc Stealth
Gigabyte Thor

Added the 7870's today... didn't know how well the molex to 6pin peg was going to work out and after I installed the drivers I was getting artifacting... performed some troubleshooting and re-installed drivers a few times and the problem dissapeared. Despite the myriad of bad reviews on Newegg about these cards running hot they actually stay cool under load. 70°c - 75°c and they are surprisingly quiet.

The pic. is in my livingroom but the machine is actually at my mothers (she doesn't pay electric). I actually had it up there because my children like to play tug-o-war with wires . Kids will be kids!

That is a pointer I'd much like to keep in mind when I'll have children - thank you, kind sir

Don't suppose you're thinking of watercooling the VRM's?

Yeah it does look like a trophy! :lol:

 

[veladem]

Those front fans are blowing out when your fireplace is going right? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[jeremyp79]

Mira, did you already get your h440 in ? Mine isnt supposed to ship until the 25th :-/

 

[Lutfij]

G-unit - 😉 I thought it was in his man cave but its in his big momma's palace ...?

Jeremy - He opted to go the other "case" route. I won't spoil it for you guys so he can say it himself

Yeah open air... it works but it gets dusty. :lol: Personally, I can't stand the led's... needless to say, it does what it's supposed to do and doesn't go up in a puff of smoke.

One thing about the Lanboy is that it's extremely easy to tug around. and customizable although the "air" mounts are a bit weird. I guess if I did want to water cool, there's plenty of places to radiators.

 

[Mirakledba]

I dont have a DVI cable.. :/ I should buy one today
