Blitz, what kind of signs/symptoms does that produce?

Joe: It is running at stock/reference 750/900.

Thlnk3r: Aside of a groan and F@H keep screaming I have an unstable machine, I do not know. The groan does not happen when I am running 507/500, which is why I am thinking it is a bad cap thereby causing an unsteady power supply.

Blitz, well perhaps. It could also be your PSU. We shall see when the cards arrive back from RMA.

Keep us updated.

Good luck

I put my ear in the case; it is the GPU, not the PSU.

Blitz, I understand that but have you thought about your PSU being the culprit?
