it's not a temperature issue as the temp doesn't go really high when it crashes
not sure what it is

You have those ASUS DCU II cards right? There have been a quite a few issues with those cards. The coolers aren't properly attached to some cards and it would be wise to check the cards yourself and RMA if needed.

Best way though imo is to "not" install it into program files (protected folder), or you should be using a second harddrive if you have a ssd anyways right. And if yer using 2nd drive, install it on 2nd drive.

Lol, I'm just stupid! I got it worked out and I did what I was telling you I was going to try! I installed my "extra" Intel 320 and loaded a fresh install of Win7 on it with just benching software and nothing else. I just beat my 1225MHz score on my main drive with the new drive at only 1155MHz!! I've been methodical with my OCing tonight so I hope to have some nice results later on.

Btw I'm using AB 2.2.1 with UOM, 12.4 WHQL with CCC uninstalled in Control Panel and no CAP's. I hope to get the dual card high score if possible!

i have been pondering about that as well.

Do we have any write up any where about what to look for?

because according to the games and benches i've ran, it handles them well, but only if i keep the clock at 950 Mhz or lower frown.gif

if it was an actual issue with the head sink, I'd think it wouldn't even last long regardless at any speed, right?

The pcie bus isn't tied to the southbridge, and their isn't really a northbridge on intel these days. And iirc catalyst drivers includes chipset drivers anyhow.

Btw, set AB's processor type to your lowest asic card. Then run furmark fullscreen while only monitoring voltage with hwinfo64 to confirm you are really getting the voltage you wanted to feed the cards.


Oh also, no CCC vs CCC installed is generally no difference, except in Skyrim. There are gains with no CCC in that game.

Hey quick question,

Why would using your second drive be benificial for benching? (My primary is a hyperx and install all my games/benchmarks to it its 120gb)

Also, are u sure about setting every card to ur lowest asic? I have 3 different asic and set them all to their respective voltages in ab and have had much better luck with ocing that way ( each chip gets their proper voltage start point this way)

I haven't found any specific write-up. Just complaints across a few forums that many owners found the early batch of cards that came out did not have the heatsinks seated properly. I believe it's a QC issue not so much inherent design. Are you having problems with both, or just one of the two cards?

How high can I, safely, push the VRAM voltage?
Can't get past 1750Mhz, even with 1.625v..

My core aint doing so bad but i hit a wall on the thing. 1250Mhz is stable as a rock with 1.262v, after vdroop 1.18-1.19v. If I push voltage to the max, i still can't really pass 1265Mhz. 1275Mhz crashed on me in BF3...

Anyways, the accelero 7970 is VERY good tbh. 32C idle average with 2 screens and always on max volts.
Load in games such as MW3 is max 45c and BF3 or benching hardly even 50. On 1.262v.. wink.gif

Any way to push beyond 1.299v so I can get something like 1.25v after vdroop?

My core aint doing so bad but i hit a wall on the thing. 1250Mhz is stable as a rock with 1.262v, after vdroop 1.18-1.19v. If I push voltage to the max, i still can't really pass 1265Mhz. 1275Mhz crashed on me in BF3...
Anyways, the accelero 7970 is VERY good tbh. 32C idle average with 2 screens and always on max volts.
Load in games such as MW3 is max 45c and BF3 or benching hardly even 50. On 1.262v.. wink.gif
Any way to push beyond 1.299v so I can get something like 1.25v after vdroop?

I didn't have any trouble with 1.299V and 1.7V on water. As long as you don't have heat issues, there's no reason you can't use the max voltage.

The only way to go higher is by modding the card (preferrably to a mobo that can push it further).

I'll see if the VRAM will do about 1800-1850 with 1.65v.
As for the core, i'll leave it where it is at 1250. The few more Mhz 1.299v give me aint worth the power consumption and heat. Load temps hardly increase but idle rises to about 35-37c with max volts.
