You checked the 8pin CPU power connector in the top left? If so, could be a bad flash, trying reflashing version 7C02v18

I think what he's trying to say is your fans aren't optimised, so you want the front as intake and the top and rear as exhaust. On the subject of coolers, something like the Noctua NH-D15 would be good, very good cooler if you don't mind its size and well within your $120 budget.

I wouldn't worry about the click, mine does something similar. Does the everything work normally with the LED on?

Something I quickly put together, should run the newest COD no problem, some things could be changed, but wanted a little bit of upgradeability.

Living in a rural area sometimes has its benefits Although for £10/m more we can get Gigabit, but we could never make use of that

I have 32GB of Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB RAM which has Samsung B-die chips, it is clocked at 3200MHz with the timings seen below. It seems a bit slow for what it should do, or is it fine? The CPU is a Ryzen 7 3700X Any help is appreciated.

I run my 2 x 4GB 290X's just fine at 4K 60fps in 80% of games, please show some evidence before make stupid claims that 4GB is an 'epic fail'. But yet you don't seem to fathom that Nvidia are charging almost £1000 for a card that isn't exactly a game changer and doesn't use HBM.

Just FYI, the mods just banned him for 7 days for that, then decided to remove it...

The only thing that doens't work yet is the video recording and playing and that's it which I don't use anyway, so i'm happy!

Flashed 5.0.2 CM12 onto my Xperia Z1 and have to say i'm wholly impressed, battery life is a lot better and phone seems a lot faster!

Yep, I run 4K, so it's always off tbh

Hey all, For some reason both of my 290X's are downclocking during gaming and causing large stutters, clocks can range anywhere from 600-1000. The temperatures on both card barely exceed 60C, same for the VRM's Any ideas? Thanks

This ^ 290X is the better choice for higher resolutions because of it's much larger memory bus, and can also be picked up very cheap

I gave an opinion, not facts. Also, why the hate? Don't hate what you can't appreciate, and besides, it's good for both sides, competition is what makes for a market. Intel and Nvidia monopoly is something that's bad for everyone, unless you want higher prices on crap CPU's and GPU's? Please stop with this AMD hate vendetta, it's so childish, if you really don't like a brand, then be constructive when you do it, don't just flame and insult people because you don't agree with them. The fact you keep trying to dig up dirt about people just shows everyone how pathetic you're being.

This just seems something an immature fanboy would do. 'Let's dig up dirt because I'm upset that Nvidia got made to look bad'

Turns out it is an issue with DisplayPort when running 200mV+ as it's fine on DVI. Cheers anyways

Whenever I run 3DMark I get a black screen (still has a signal) and both cards seem to power up as usual (Xfire 290X). Both cards are at stable overclocks (1200/1650) that I have had them do many times before without issue. Any ideas?

I like how anyone here who dare's jump on the AMD bandwagon get splattered by uneducated and arrogant fanboys. The exact reason I am barely trawl this forum anymore. Yes, however Nvidia worded it, whether it was intentional or not, basically misled the consumer they were thinking they were getting a card with 4GB of GDDR5 memory running at 225GB/s. Whether it affects people or not is irrelevant, as Gaben said, you cannot lie to gamers as they will call you out on it and never forget it.

Of course, i mean, at least they admitted it. Unlike Ubi

I'm not arguing with you, they 'lied' or 'miscommunicated' as you'd like to call it, a large company like Nvidia shouldn't be making rookie mistakes like that. Let's not end up with another 'Ubisoft PR nightmare' kind of case. They should've made it clear on the specification and to the reviewers that the last 512MB is accessible at a much slower speed.

Can people not just get along? Nvidia lied about their spec, they should apologise, remedy it and move on.

I have a 4k monitor and my 290X's have yet to crap out or stutter in a game...

I was talking about Faa, not you mate

Who is ever 4" away from their GPU?? Whoever or wherever told you that must clearly be mistaken...

No I did not, people with Intel CPU's were also getting performance boosts with Mantle.
