lot more and the cards ran hotter, most likely because PowerPlay wasn't functioning. Any ideas? BTW, RivaTuner is no longer installed, and every time the system locks from a failed attempt at o.c.ing the Overdrive section in the CCC is missing until the...

Low 3dmark Vantage score. Too Low? HD 5870. I picked up a Sapphire 5870 recently, and i seem to be getting very low scores 3d mark vantage, also seems i'm not getting the FPS i should be getting in games ethier. All settings default BTW (on 3dmark). GPU...

W7 is not that much different then Vista, just more optimized. It's no where near the difference from XP to Vista, like HAL being removed from Vista onwards. There's a reason why DX10 could never come to XP and all attempts have failed, it's simply impossible....

maxing out. Core Temperatures are closing in 100C. After I got back from a bathroom break, The machine was shut-down. Subsequently attempts to reboot it, it failed to post, the fans aren't spinning and no lights on motherboard were brinking. What's my problem?...

just a jump or two. All attempts thru BIOS result in a failed reboot. Anyone attempting the same? Any help is welcome.. I recently built this system and am attempting to get it OC'd, not a severe OC but just a jump or two. All attempts thru BIOS result in a...

400 mHz. If it'll go to 400, make sure you have the memory set for 1:1. A pair or a quad set of the same memory may make you're attempts at OCing easier to control... jsc's Google suggestion will get you pointed to the info for your hardware...Keep reading!...

buck a great buy). You should be able to clear 10k in 3DMark06 no problem with your 3870 and a Q6600. Your mobo and cpu are the bottleneck. Any further attempts at OC'ing your current CPU will yield marginal gains at best. By the way, what resolution...

memclock with my Clawhammer 3000+) ocing a video card is risky buisness, and the gain really isnt worth it. But if were talking bout OCing a CPU on a good mobo, that IS worth it. Does that also apply to a car with turbo charge, all the ocing with mode chips...
