msi afterburner wtf?

[KING_OF_SAND]

msi afterburner wont load up, i just get a message that says "Some of MSI afterburner components are expired, missing or corrupted." WHY!

It was working 10 minutes ago before this post and now i suddenly get this. I have reinstalled, re downloaded ect, and nothing works. I can only use 2.5beta 2 because that is the only one that works with the 6990.

hmm interesting, im getting the same thing. Im running a GTX275, so its not as if it doing this with new cards

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

the worse part is is i just got done watercooling my 6990 and was about to do some crazy overclocks, and then this happens

 

[dugdiamond]

simple!!! don't use it

why you need to run afterburner on a water-cooled 6990, i have no idea!!!

there is, pushing things to extremes, and breaking things... the two are very closely related - lol

DO you have another overclocking software option?

 

[dugdiamond]

CCC

unlock it

max it

 

[dugdiamond]

11.5 is out

CCC

unlock it

max it

I need voltage adjustment. i have ccc running stable at 900core 1350mem and 10% power using bios 1. how far do you think i can get?

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

also i like afterburner open so i can see my temps.

Also my overclock is currently stable at 950core and 1400 with a 15% power draw. gunna run a few more tests.

Don't go too far or it'll all be for nothing

i just got done running a 3dmark 11 test and passed it at 950/1400 with 15% max temp 62c

My card ran benchmarks fine with AB then the card died next session after shutting down windows. Whatever you do DO NOT tick the launch on start up box!!

there is no launch at start up box. i am overclocking via ccc,

Ah I thought you were still using afterburner.

I can't really say, I never used CCC before

I have done quite a bit of overclocking With Afterburner on my 480 with great results. The thing you want to watch out for though, along with temp, is stability. I found that even if my 3D Mark score went up, that the card wasn't necessarily 100% stable. With the voltage at max in afterburner my scores kept going up until I hit 950 MHz, but it wasn't completely stable. I found that one of the best stability tests is folding at home. If you run F@H and the card is even the least bit unstable it will fail almost immediately, and if you run a full work unit or 2 it will also give you the hottest temp the card will ever hit. With Folding I found the card was only stable at 910 MHz at that voltage, and the highest temp I've ever seen was 58 after running folding over night. I'd also be remiss if i didn't say to join the OC3D Redline folding team 98860.

hi v7 cores for AMD GPUs are not out yet (AFAIK), for F@H

K_O_S is having nightmares with his hd6990 - they are not the best OC-ers

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

Well my GPU was not stable at 950/1400 with 15% power so i raised it to 20% power draw and so far so good.

 

[dugdiamond]

be careful dude

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

by the looks of it i am stable. but my scores from Unigene and metro 2033 bench marks are the same at 950/1400 as they are at 880/1250? I had this same issue when i had my 5870 and all i had to do was increase the voltages and it made a HUGE difference.

Your right dude, AMD cards don't run folding yet. I can't believe I forgot that. thx
