hi everyone, so basically i tried to oc my sapphire hd 7870 with these settings (from the AMD Catalyst Control Center, Graphics OverDrive):
GPU Core: default 1000 mHz - to 1150 mhz
GPU Memory: default 1200mHz - to 1400-1450 mhz
Power Limit: +20%
i tried to see if it was stable so i tried a few games with these settings, all seemed to run just fine for 30-45 mins but all of a sudden my pc shut off, i tried to turn it on again but it only did for a fraction of a second just to shut down immediately after, i noticed that it only does that if i insert a 6pin connector to the far left 6 pin slot of the graphics card, i switched the card with another old one and the pc starts just fine so i think it's a problem about the card itself.
By far i tried to CMOS Reset by jumper and by taking out the battery and reseat it after 5 mins, uninstall all amd drivers, msi afterburn and everything else that had anything to do with overclocking, no success.
If you're wondering what PSU i have it's a Corsair cx600
mobo it's an ASUS M5A78L-M USB3
thinking about it now, it was really a stupid idea to overclock with this mobo lol
please help me out thanks
