I've got a Sapphire 7950 oc and it's great apart from Skyrim. The net is littered with possible fixes, but none seem to work. The game just freezes after a few seconds of play. I'm running catalyst 12.4 drivers, but from the web it seems the last few versions have all had skyrim issues of one...

I can't seem to be able to increase the voltage on my card. CCC or Trixx moves it in the scale, but the actual voltage stays the same in GPU-Z and HW Monitor. Do I need to enable bios 2 or??

Am I missing something...? Apart from the enthusiast/interest side, what's the point of water cooling a gpu? As I see it, you need to buy a reference card to make finding a water block easier, yet reference cards have no/little voltage control that a card such as an MSI lightning has & thus...

Hey, I've been wondering how far you guys out there with shiny new gtx 680's have managed to overclock them?

I've seen good things about the 7870 & 7850 cards. Prices on aria look to be £269.99 & £199.99 and other reviews show near gtx 580 performance on the 7870. Are any of these cards up for review soon?

My NZXT Hale90 850W power supply seems to have a fast switching/clicking sound coming from it when under load. Not sure this is normal, but it doesn't sound like it. I thought it was a fan with a dodgy bearing, but on inspection, all the fans are ok including the psu fan. The sound is coming...

Well I got a 5Ghz stable overclock with Prime for 45mins. Not 24hrs I know, but I'm goign to back it off and that was only 1.4v You may need to enlarge the image...

I've searched but can't see this being raised before. Overclocking my 2500k in Asus 'Turbo V EVO' and the CPU voltage is set to 1.18v, yet CPUz shows the vcore to be 1.296v.... Which is right?

I've just finished the new rig and have run Crystal disk. I have a Corsair C300 64GB SSD on the Marvel Sata 6 set as OS boot drive. I also have 2x WD Cavair Blacks 1TB set on the Sata 6 Intel mobo and rapid storage as raid 1. However, all 3 drives are using Bit Fenix Alchemy Sata 2 cables, as...

Just a thought whilst reading another post on here. Perhaps a selling forum would be useful. Guys and girlies on this site change hardware often and are left with the 'old' bits. How about a simple For Sale forum..?

Well I think I've nailed down the final line up for my GF's new rig. Check it out and comment where I've been dumb Case= Silverstone RV02E white PSU= NZXT Hale 90 850W Mobo= ASUS Sabretooth P67A CPU= 2500k CPU cooler= Fugly Noctua NH-D14 (may change fans if hideous) RAM= undecided on...

I'm about to build a rig with an Asus Sabretooth P67A and 2500k. Now if the chip will clock to 4.8Ghz, as it has a high chance of doing on that board, will the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced handle the heat. I know it's all volts and I haven't won the silicon lottery yet, but does anyone out there...

Which is better, 1.35v or 1.5 v and why guys?

Almost time to order my components. An air cooled GTX580 it is, now just which model......? I was looking at the MSI Twin Frozr, but is there a better card and why. Please include overclocked models and don't ask for a budget, that just comes down to is it worth the cash!

Just noticed this board has 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8) Will SLI 580GTX cards suffer a bottleneck at dual x8 slots?
