Why is it rising anyway?Heard the price of RAM is rising and rising quick folks. Buy up while you can.

You try disabling each GPU and trying them individually? Also try uninstalling Precision and re-installing. There should be a option for K-Boost, which will make your cards run at the boost clocks 24/7. You could try that too and see if it clocks up.
How would I go about testing each GPU individually?
Tried K-Boost and uninstalling Precision X. GPU1 just refuses to clock up an it's reading some ridiculous power % usage (300+). Tried different PCI-E slots.. no change.
Disable SLI in the Nvidia Control Panel. It will cut off GPU2 when you do that. Then try a game and see what happens. What drivers are you running?
Tried it. Nope, nothing. Latest beta.
Try going to the drivers before the beta. If that doesn't work, might have to RMA again
That's the spirit!Fuck it, I'm buying the Corsair AX750. $134 doesn't seem bad. I'll just ebay the PSU I have in here currently. At least I'll feel safer, even though it doesn't seem all that bad.
Every place I've lived has been dust central, but I prefer the floor for noise.Hi, regarding the location of putting a PC tower, is it bad to put it on the floor? Or better off putting it on the actual table? This is in terms of collecting dust and breathing, etc.
Beautiful.My rig is complete, no more money being thrown into this money pit(hopefully... fingers crossed.).
Beautiful.
Now replace the rear fan.
At 1080P is there any advantage to go for the higher end cards?

Just rma'd my third 690gtx.
I wound up purchasing a mint 7850 today off craigslist for 125. I'm powering off of my terrible 350w PSU. Thankfully I only play one game that doesn't really push its capabilities. I plan on buying a new PSU this weekend. Is the sale on tiger direct for the 420w corsair sufficient?
What games should I get to see what this can do?
yea, i think it worked out this way better than I could have imagined. Dude only lived about 30 minutes away. I took my tower over to his place. He was going to give me a 380W PSU for $5 but for some reason it wouldn't power my board. Hooked everything up for me and I wound up talking with him for another hour afterwards.thats a very nice price for that card exspecially a mint version but yea get a new PSU quickly (check the ones in the OP like the BP550 plus).
some games
Trine
Trine 2
Sleeping Dogs
Batman AA
Crysis
and others
430w you mean?I wound up purchasing a mint 7850 today off craigslist for 125. I'm powering off of my terrible 350w PSU. Thankfully I only play one game that doesn't really push its capabilities. I plan on buying a new PSU this weekend. Is the sale on tiger direct for the 420w corsair sufficient?

430w you mean?
VP450 is better, but the CX430 will do if you save a lot on the rebate (They are both effectively ~380W supplies). BP550 for the future + modular.
Anyone got any news on GTX 770/780 at all? Usually they release end of March, obviously that is not the case. Building a new computer in June and I don't want to wait any longer. I could've built the computer back last August, but I decided to wait for Haswell.
I tried googling, but nothing relevant is showing up.

Aren't the mobile versions of these expected to show up around the same time as Haswell (i.e. June)? I know I've seen a couple of leaked spec sheets of laptops with both Haswell and a 7XX mobile GPU.
expected in Q4.
From what I saw that is not the case. ATI's GPU is Q4. Nvidia never said anything, yet...
LOL, yeah.That's the spirit!

sucks man. if it happens again i'd definitely look into just going the titan route.

When I got my PSU a year or two back i got an ax850, even though I provably will never use the full potential of it. Way I figure it is CPU's change, motherboards change, video carts change. Petty much the only thing that stays static is the PSU. So get a nice one that is more than your needs now so you will be good for the future.
I'm going to be incrementally upgrading my PC this year. One part at a time every month. Right now I'm going to start with an SSD, and in April I'm shooting for a new GPU, which brings me to my question. Right now I'm running a 5770, is the 7870 worth the $230 to upgrade?
try and find a 7870 XT or a 7870 LE for that price.
XFX 7870 Core Ed: $229.99
XFX 7870 Double D: $225.99
SAPPHIRE 7870 XT: $259.99
I... am not sure what the differences are between these cards.

Would anybody recommend the Arctic Accelero Xtreme 7970 cooler? And what is the difference between that and the Xtreme III. Other than the cheaper price of the 7970 version, they look absolutely identical. And aren't they both universal? I want to use this on the Titan or the Tahiti based 7870 I just bought.
Holy shit, Sethos got banned? I hope it's temporary....
For anyone waiting for Ivy Bridge-E, prepare to be disappointed:

From the article:
Aside from the quad core being unlocked this time, I don't even know why they bothered. Was there any reason for the holdup?
What's the issue with the cooler on the card you have? FWIW though, it would have been a lot cheaper just to buy an ASUS card to begin with.Would anybody recommend the Arctic Accelero Xtreme 7970 cooler?

What did you even get banned for lol
link is broken for me
Works for me.

So I have Kingston Hyper X blu RAM that runs at 1600 @ 1.65 v and I didn't realize until now that I've been running it at that speed with my 2500k. And apparently only 1.5 v are supported by Sandy Bridge, so should I just change it back to 1333 @ 1.5 v, or will I be fine?
