I thought I'd keep everything together here in one place in case someone else had a similar issue. ____________________________________________ ORIGINAL ISSUE: case: silverstone ft02b psu: corsair ax750 mobo: asus p8p67 pro cpu: i7-2600k cpu hsf: cm hyper 212+ ram: g.skill ripjaws x...

Yes I installed everything from the motherboard cd except for the intel rapid storage technology software, the management engine, and the marvel sata drivers, as those seemed like extras I would not need, and I don't plan to use the marvel sata 6gbps headers. In the bios I set it for the...

Tried the 11.4 early preview version, no luck. Still having screen freezes + blackouts and recovery in web browsers. Removed the drivers again, getting tired and running out of ideas... 2nd 6950 should be here in 3-6 days, so I guess I can swap that one in and see if I got a defective card, but...

I haven't touched the bios at all yet, trying to get everything running perfect first. :\

Following advice I went ahead and completely removed drivers again and installed the ccc 11.4 early preview version. At first it seemed fixed, but then the problem returned in full, random graphics drivers crashes while browsing the web... I haven't even tried to game yet. *Sigh* Guess...

Yeah, downloaded the ones for HD 69xx / Windows Vista/7 x64. I'll give the 11.4 Previews a shot.

Ok there must be something seriously horribly wrong with the new 11.4 ccc from amd because I can NOT get my graphics to stop crashing. I reformatted like twice, completely clean windows installation all nice and proper nothing abnormal, get it up and running, all is 100% stable and runs smooth...

New computer is up and running with Windows 7 Ultimate 64, which drivers to I want to install? I previously installed CCC 11.4, and ran into all kinds of screen freezing and driver crashing/recovering. It seemed to happen more often when using a web browser (internet explorer/firefox). I...

Hmmm.. Ok but that guide says it'll end up at stock 6970 voltage. Think I saw somewhere that someone did a shader unlock, clocked the card up to 6970 speeds, and was still using stock 6950 voltage. Maybe I misread... Also, I can't seem to find a clear answer on how to involve drivers and what...

I really wanna get this up and going today! :D would really appreciate some help thanks! http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1606181

Ok, about to fire up my new rig and as soon as I'm done setting up OS etc, going to mess with the GPU. case: silverstone ft02b psu: corsair ax750 mobo: asus p8p67 pro cpu: i7-2600k cpu hsf: cm hyper 212+ ram: g.skill ripjaws x 2x4gb ddr3 1600 8-8-8-24 gpu: msi r6950 (soon to be xfired) sound...

Thanks, much appreciated. I still have the manual/software etc, just wanted to make sure about the best way to go about this. Oh, in case anyone was curious or needed the info: case: silverstone ft02b (non windowed) psu: corsair ax750 mobo: asus p8p67 pro cpu: i7-2600k cpu hsf: cm hyper 212+...

Ok so I'm new on the scene of tinkering with bios/cmos ocing etc. Almost finished rounding up all my parts and building my rig. Firing it up in a day or 2 and I wanna do it right. Now IDK much about a CMOS.. From what I can tell you remove a battery or something about a jumper, prolly cuts...

I'd just really like to see a massive migration to mainstream data/games/os's etc provided on flash data, boom usb port! faster more reliable, more attractive than a big optical :( fishing with multiple lines in the water, I apologize. :)

Curious what you all think would be the smartest choice for my new rig in terms of DVD RW drives. Taking into consideration, accuracy, speed, quality, and how quiet it is. I'd totally love to skip optical all together, stupid dead technology.. But I need it to install OS/games etc. I feel like...

fanx! I can't wait for some really solid 120-250gb 3rd gen SATA III ssds to become mainstream so I can hand down my SSD's and raid them up or something ridiculous. Also need to throw a 1TB or 2 in there for storage. Thinking Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB, seems fast and reliable and great price.

Ok so my girlfriend's 9800 GT broke down a almost a month ago. It crashed and from then on the screen was riddled with artifacting and garbled horizontal lines all over the place, could barely make out the screen. So I tossed it on the bench and got a replacement, HD 4670 which was less than...

I've never really made anything, except putting an RJ45 on the ends of some bulk cat5.

Title says it all. I'm looking for a 4pin Molex to 3x 3pin fan connectors. Black/sleeved/quality = win. Can't seem to find one.... Thanks~ Also, still looking for a really nice quality black/sleeved 4pin molex to 4x sata power connectors.

Definitely a fan of high quality parts and solid construction, don't even mind paying a lot when you can tell someone really put a lot of hard work into what you purchased. Don't cut corners, meaning paint/finish everything! Management shouldn't be shoddy! Designs... Elegant, yet simple...

To make things more clear, I'm pretty sure I want: 4-Pin Molex to 4x SATA Power Connectors -Decent length between the Molex and the SATAs like 100mm-200mm -Pref black/sleeved -Nice build quality I suppose also SATA-> to 4x SATA extension would also work. That bitfenix cable looks nice, but...

Ok so my rig is nearing completion, and I ran into a snag, the SATA power cables running from my corsair ax750 are just a tad short to reach the drives adequately when using any sort of cable management in my FT02. So I think the best solution is to use some SATA power extensions. Can anyone...

I did it, popped in the $100 amazon gift card and got the MSI r6950 2gb reference, for about $175 or w/e. Going to wait for it to arrive and make sure sizing fits and all, get the rig up and running and get the 2nd one on its way.

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1596910 This guy even has the same case as me, the FT02. Based on this, and what I've seen in the reviews on newegg, the Twin Frozr's cooling style is counter productive when placed closely together in Xfire. Therefore I think my best bet is to go with...

HAHAHA XD no actually I've had this name for a very very long time. I think when it comes down to it... It's do I get the reference 6950 and have the option of unlocking? Which is okay I suppose, doubt I'll be needing it once I xfire these, but then again that would make the xfire that much...

I'm about to pull the trigger on one of a few cards! Help me decide! MSI 6950 2GB (Reference) - With the possibility to unlock, great value. MSI 6950 2GB Twin Frozr II - Sexy looks with a very well performing aftermarket cooler for roughly $20 more. Probably unable to unlock shaders. But...

Yeah but the 3 has a heftier price premium in most cases over the 2 without as much of a bang gain, but I'll have a look. Likely due to newer tech release.

I do a lot of gaming, and I listen to a lot of music, some times at the same time. I also watch movies etc, and I'm a nazi when it comes to my sound/image quality. I got my first premium pair of headphones like 8 years ago, the Audio Technica ATH-900's. They were an amazing change for me. I...

Okay well I think with the level of hardware going into my new rig I'm going to skip the budget $18 dvd/rw optical and go for a really nice 3d blu-ray player/burner. Can I get the names of some really solid ones? Performance/Quality are key. Was originally thinking about the ASUS BW 12B1LT...

If I go with the 6950, I think I'll look for the most solid awesome version with the best warranty and best customer service to back it, without having to pay a hefty premium. If I'm not mistaken, MSI seems to have that best covered with their Twin Frozr II version. No? XFX has double lifetime...

I'm sure it does, I just know so little about it I couldn't say it was amazing, based on the trailer and the short amount of gameplay I've seen, it looks pretty damn good visually, the story I'm sure is great, combat looks fluid, idk how developed the combat system is, and an item-based rpg in...

I'm really skeptical when it comes to those dual gpu cards. Usually the case is they use too much power, put out too much heat and don't put out quite as much performance as their multiple card equivalents. At least from what I've seen. Not sure if I looked too much at the 6990. ~Ugh there's...

update- I have darksiders for xbox played only a little of it, and I loved it, idk how it pans out in the long run, but definitely worth a go if they have it on PC. Just Cause 2 looks like it could be a lot of fun, the graphics/combat look a little clunky, maybe that's different on PC? The...
