7970 changing voltage in Afterburner does nothing

Out of curiosity, how hot can the GPU run before I should start worrying?

7970 changing voltage in Afterburner does nothing

On a side note, is it safe that my 7970 idles at 68 degrees C? I have 3 monitors, so idle temperatures have always been higher (it was around 35 degrees back when I only had one IIRC). During gaming, it only gets to around 75, and running 3dmark Firestrike puts it at 82 max. Is it fine for it...

7970 changing voltage in Afterburner does nothing

Hello, I have a Sapphire 7970 OC w/boost (the blue PCB one), and I'm using MSI Afterburner to overclock it. I am using the second BIOS setting, where the core clock is 1000mhz and memory is 1425mhz. My card's ASIC quality is 81.7%, so its stock voltage is 1050mV. Initially, I was confused as...

NVIDIA Driver detecting only one card, SLI not working

Yes, the Ultra 40 M2 seems to support SLI: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19127-01/ultra40m2.ws/819-7577-11/819-7577-11.pdf 5-23 is the section that covers how to enable SLI (by turning it on in the Nvidia control panel, although the option doesn't show up for me) UPDATE: Removing the SLI bridge...

NVIDIA Driver detecting only one card, SLI not working

Hello, I have a strange issue where the Nvidia drivers on my computer are only detecting one of my two cards. My machine's specs are as follows: SUN Ultra 40 M2 Workstation 2 X Opteron 2222 Dual Core, 3.0ghz 16GB ECC DDR2 RAM (Although I get a message at POST saying Bad DIMMs from slot 0 to 3)...

Overclocking a 7970 (artifacts)

Tried Trixx, same behaviour. However, I discovered that I need to restart my computer in order for the graphical artifacts to disappear, otherwise, even resetting the clock speed back to default still causes artifacts to appear. I've currently managed to bump it up to 1050mhz and restarted my...

Overclocking a 7970 (artifacts)

Hello, I have a Sapphire 7970 OC w/boost with a stock voltage of 1.025V, running at 1000mhz core. I was trying to find out how far I could go without touching the voltage, but I the moment I push up the slider, Google Chrome already artifacts like crazy (squares showing up on the screen, with...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Just downloaded Passmark and tested it, my i5 2500k gets 2125. The X5650 OC'ed gets a solid score though, considering that it's a 6 core processor.

Will upgrading an i5 2500(non k) to an i7 4770k and OC-ing it give more performance?

Take a look for these benchmarks and decide for yourself: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2012/05/01/intel-core-i5-3570k-cpu-review/6 http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1158&page=13

3930K to 5930K

Depends on what you're using it for, I would say. If the difference in performance is similar to this: http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1158&page=13 Then I would say it is silly and an absolute waste of money. In real world scenarios, I would say an average gain of...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Wow, Burpo your X5650 @ 4.8 gets similar single threaded performance as my stock i5 2500k @ 3.3, judging from your benchmarks. That's actually quite impressive; I thought it would do much worse for single threaded applications. In fact, I didn't know that overclocking added so much to a...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

I'm not sure, as I haven't benchmarked my 2500k yet, nor have I overclocked it to 4.5+. I'm not a huge fan of synthetic benchmarks, though. I was mainly basing it off of this: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/288?vs=142 I'll probably stick to the 2500k after overclocking it a bit more...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Does the X5650 overclocked run similarly to an i7 970 or something? It seems like it's still not as good as an i5 2500k for gaming, which is fine since I will be using the more gaming oriented processor. It's only if the X5650 ran better in games as well where I would be tempted to keep it for...

Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

Hello, Just out of curiousity, would an i5 2500k @ 4.0ghz be better or a Xeon X5650 @ 3.6ghz for rendering/productivity? How about gaming? My dad does some heavy video editing/rendering, and he's been complaining that his dual Opteron 2354's haven't been cutting it due to the low clock...
