Pretty much I just disabled overdrive in CCC and used Trixx for all my OC'ing. Really nice clean user interface, gives you all the options and control that you would need. Coupled with GPUZ for monitoring and you are pretty much good to go. To achieve my max clocks, I raised the voltage to 1.225 which seemed to give enough stability for all benches/games.

No, it means it avioded meltdown and only sustained slight damage rather than blowing up your computer, followed by buring your house down. I'd rather than artifacts than no house. thumb.gif
Hahaha okay, now I'm relieved! biggrin.gif

66^C in Idle is Harsh, I get Max 70^C Full Load in Furmark/BF3 in a 90 Degree non AC Room.

But Seeing the Temps, the Fans Should have been spun up to at least 65-70% on Auto,

Imagine what it was when running Compute Apps/Games.

I'd like the AMD Rep to answer this:
vrm_temps.jpg


Either the Chips on the Board are reporting the wrong values, or something isnt right w/ the Software/Hardware.

After a Reboot they are normal, then eventually the Temps would read 400+^C, and voltages in the 1000s,

There are crazy spikes in temps, voltages etc, all in the GPU Sensor Sections,
CPU Data is always accurate, no abnormal 1.21 Gigawatt Spikes..

No Abnormal GPU Performance issues or Artifacts, just something I've noticed in hwInfo64 and GPU-z

+20.

It's nice to have an AMD rep here post useful information. Hopefully you will not get flamed too much everytime AMD release some new driver sets.


I gotta ask, AMD's calculated attempts to make MSI afterburner not work properly or difficult to get working, is it because AMD's largest parter Sapphire decided to release trixx?

We don't do anything to make third-party OCing software not work, especially not "calculated attempts." There are no conspiracies.

Board manufacturers are free to include two. The reference designs are also supposed to push the envelope of the industry a bit, and DVI doesn't push anything.

Bit unfair to ask the REP to answer questions on software that is nothing to do with AMD.

I myself have found HWinfo64 to be a bit flaky at times and can get its knickers in a knot if you are using other monitoring programs at the same time (e.g. MSI AB, GPUz)

If DisplayPort can do 2560x1600 why bother using it if almost all monitors don't use it and DisplayPort to DVI dual link needs a powered connection?

This is a clean windows install.. Also used a gtx 590 before and this never happend..
I am useing a Dvi-VGa plug right now cause my monitor is not here yet.

come on man he isnt going to know whats wrong with your computer. after reading your posts you either have a mess of drivers/ab problems or a bad card (vortex 2s seem to be quite faulty compared to other cards). 2 things to try if you havnt: full reinstall of windows (since it seems you tried atiman/driversweeper and still have your 590 drivers on the computer) or try not using afterburner (i suggest 2.2.1, seems most stable for 7970s). when reinstalling drivers, use either 12.6 or 12.7 beta. If someone comes yelling at me about reinstalling windows i would like them to atleast offer another route that you havnt tried that wont take longer than reinstalling windows and getting yourself back to where you were previous (and one that works, not hypothetical uninstalls that lead us to having no idea how the back end was actually affected, a clean install guarantees a clean registry and inf)

Dont be reluctant to reinstall windows, you just spent $450+ on a graphics card, you should at least be willing to give it a fresh start.
