    Now, I was able to get some better performance at a cost of 15 fps. Setting Vsync to "forced on" on the profile inspector helped but if I do fullscreen windowed(pubg) it causes more tearing. I have no qualms running at 60 fps for the time being if it saves me from 1, dealing with tearing and 2, dealing with the load times on a 5400 rpm hdd. Hopefully if anyone experiences similar problems they can at least solve them with this.

    Let me start this by stating the fact that there was no screen tearing with this 970 while on my other HDD's. I have tried both Windows 10 and Windows 7 on separate HDD's with no replication of this screen tearing. I didn't clone my drive, I installed and activated Windows 7 Ultimate and updated everything I could think of. I've tried multiple different iterations of the 970 drivers to no avail. I have tearing in YouTube, on Twitch, and every game I launch. I gave Nvidia's Profile Inspector a try to see if I could force Vsync, change the refresh rate, anything to get rid of this screen tear. Nothing has worked so far, so here I am. If it matters, specs are as follows. HP Z400 MOBO Intel Xeon W3565 3.2 Quad Core EVGA GTX 970 4GB 12 GB 1333 DDR3 RAM 120 GB Kingston A400 SSD 500 GB Win10 HDD 1TB Win7 HDD

    I think I may have solved my own problem https://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Z400-Workstation-Motherboard-System-Board-586968-001-w-Tray-W3565-3-2GHz/112958831465?epid=1034376602&hash=item1a4cdefb69%3Ag%3Ac0wAAOSwQVpaw9yi&_trkparms=gclientid%3D8oclcTfJ4ijv37NE6t0mV5cPmHUqLCtM5BLl-uOo_-kyKzpKmxQVtthgoxNHwYkz&_trksid=p2489528.m4335.l8656

    I saw that board, in particular, the shipping on it is around $50 USD plus the base price of $60 so it'd be at $110, which is out of budget for me. As long as it has dual pci 16 slots I can just bridge the cards together

    Something like the ghetto-fabulous version of the G1 Assassin X58? https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-G1-Assassin-Intel-X58-Motherboard/dp/B004PGAMGM

    Hey guys. I actually just made a post about an X58 build if you wouldn't mind providing some insight? IT would be highly appreciated https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/920858-best-bang-for-mobo-buck/

    I assume 2 pci 16 slots and support for SLBEV + 1066 ddr3 ram isn't too much to ask for for $60

    Looking to spend <$60 USD for mobo "Intel 5500 chipset featuring the LGA 1366/Socket B processor socket" I have the Intel Xeon W3565 Quad-Core 3.2 GHz with two 1GDDR5 AMD Radeon 6770's from Sapphire that I want to Crossfire. I am willing to buy used. Already have everything I need besides a compatible motherboard.

    It's alright if it is the CPU as I can replace it with the W3565 in the upgrade since I already own it. I attempted to remove and replace the ram in each dimm slot to see if it would boot, alas it was to no avail. I attempted removing the GPU to boot as well.

    The build sits as follows: Dell Precision Workstation T5500 Thermaltake T2 600W PSU Stock Dell CRH6C motherboard 12 GB (2gx6) Triple Channel DDR3 ram Intel L5640 2.26 GHz quad-core 2.5 TB HDD array Sapphire AMD Radeon 6770 Want to upgrade: MOBO CPU to Intel W3565 SLBEV HDD to SSD/combo +1 Radeon 6770 for Crossfire

    Hello fellow techies. I am looking for a replacement motherboard for my Dell Precision T5500. I replaced the original with another stock that I assume bit the bullet, as I am getting a solid amber power light and 2 3 + 4 lights blinking. This indicates that the system is pre-post but cannot continue, which is what happened to the mobo the last time this build hit the fan. I am looking for a motherboard, socket LGA1366 that is compatible with the Intel Xeon W3565 SLBEV [link related] https://ark.intel.com/products/39721/Intel-Xeon-Processor-W3565-8M-Cache-3_20-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI I have an AMD Radeon 6770 and another on the way that I intend to Crossfire. I thought about the ASUS P6T SE, but I want to get a second opinion before I jump the gun. In your opinion, which route should I take?

    Thanks for the insight

    If the system under load is 371 watts, I assume most of that will be due to the GPU. The pcie slots on the stock t5500 seem to be rated for 75 watts. I will have to figure out how to incorporate a board from another build into my current rig. These are all things I should remember but somehow fail to.

    I mean that as in I have yet to know that the card is getting sufficient power to it. I have this http://www.gigabyte.us/Graphics-Card/GV-R797OC-3GD#ov

    Sorry for the misunderstanding, I don't need them to be together. I'm just having problems installing the Radeon. I've been working on this build for about 6 months. I haven't tried the 7970 on its own yet, but otherwise, the fans have yet to spin. Thanks for your input btw
