All good so far, booted with no issues, the system is a little bit sluggish but I'm picking up an H100 next week and so I'll put Windows on the SSD then and configure my install properly (as well as cable management etc). It's currently installed to the 500GB drive.

Just need to restart to install Windows updates then I'll put her under load, see what happens. Sadly I'm not sure how much of an OC I'll get out of it because of the VRMs frown.gif

Got similar temps to last time (62C/94C) so I haven't bothered with a screenshot this time around.

Here is my 3DMark11 result.

And here is my Heaven result:

Uninstall ab, choose no when it asks to save. Run atiman, it does its thing reboots etc. Then install rc11, reboot. Disable ulps, install ab run it, it will ask to reboot. Then do the unofficial oc bizness.

I did exactly this ... everything seemed to be good... started tweaking voltz/clocks and they saved properly.

after about 2 minutes after any boot up ... I get a BSOD 1000007e ... frown.gif

What is two mins after any boot up? Boot up what, os/game? You have to be more clear.
Btw BSOD 07E = ram or OS, mostly ram.

So BF3 is running beautifully! I haven't played a game yet or run a fraps benchmark, but I just drove a tank for 5 minutes on an empty Caspian and got 55-80 solid all maxed with 2xMSAA and no motion blur. Very happy biggrin.gif The only thing is I had a few massive framedrops (down to 6 while running up to and getting in the tank) - no stutter, just actual drops. Is this a known problem? I'm going to go play a game and bench it using fraps, might have just been a hiccup at the start, we'll soon find out.

hey everyone I'm glad to be a part of the Owner's Club! this is my first post so I wanted to say hi before I jumped into an issue I've been having. hope you're all enjoying your HD 7950/7970.thumb.gif


THE ISSUES:
I have two HD7970-DC2T-3GD5 that I am using in crossfire. Whenever I start a DX11 game and the game launches (after initial menus) my system halts/freezes and I have to hard reboot because it is completely unresponsive. I can replicate this issue every time any game is opened that is run using Direct X 11. The strangest thing is that it only occurs when the game is full-screened. So if I launch a DX11 game in windowed mode, it runs just fine. I've also been able to verify the same things occur with bench-marking suits like: Heaven DX11 Benchmark 3.0

When running the same games in Direct X 9 mode, with crossfire enabled the issue is non existent. This issue only happens when Crossfire is enabled, with all Direct X 11 games when full-screened. Each card works fine when used independently (with crossfire disabled) for a prolonged period of time with no issues. I've tested each card in separate PCI-E slots with no issues, so it doesn't appear to be the motherboard.

I've tried with various drivers, but I am currently using the newest driver's provided on AMD's website and still not able to get it working even after using ATIman to completely uninstall. Before I tried the 8.9.21.2 RC11 drivers, but no luck there either. I've also tried 3 different crossfire bridges to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

  2. Clean it with Atiman Uninstaller v.6.3.1 (turn off UAC to install this).
  3. Install 1/25/2012 http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/RC11Driver.aspx
  4. Install MSI Afterburner 2.2.0 Beta 14 Download
  5. Enable "unoffcial overclocking" HOW TO: Enable UNOFFICIAL overclocking mode in MSI AfterBurner
  6. Afterburner settings > enable all voltage controls.

Note: Exit Afterburner prior to editing .cfg file and ULPS.


Crossfire User; from step #4 > #7 > #5 > #6


7. Disable ULPS:

 
  • Go to regedit (start > search programs and files > "regedit").
  • In drop down menu: find file > type "enableulps".
  • For ALL instances (keep pressing F3) change the "1" value to a "0".
  • Reboot PC.

was doing this BSOD after a clean boot up in 2d ... i would just sitting there ... but not happening anymore ...

did ever step as noted... and still not working...

going to try to do it all over again ...

but at present I have run through exactly what was posted earlier and once AB is put into oczenabled... the core and mem keep reseting to 0 and won't save. the ocz bars allow for the extra voltz but nothing saves ...

getting tired been trying to get this going for hours ... will try one more cycle then need to go to bed ... thanks for the help so far ...

Ok, just ran my benchmark in BF3, during a few games of 32p TDM on Kharg. I know it's not the most intense thing but it's what I felt like. Min 43, Max 148, and Avg of 75. Really happy with it, gameplay was smooth throughout and I'm not as rusty as I thought I'd be after 6 weeks smile.gif Still came within sight of the top 3, and went just over, then just under parity KDR (counts because it's TDM - I still revived etc!).

Can't wait to get an OC going on this 2500K, and when I swap this card for a Lightning, OC the GPU!

Each card works fine when used independently (with crossfire disabled) for a prolonged period of time with no issues. I've tested each card in separate PCI-E slots with no issues, so it doesn't appear to be the motherboard.
I've tried with various drivers, but I am currently using the newest driver's provided on AMD's website and still not able to get it working even after using ATIman to completely uninstall. Before I tried the 8.9.21.2 RC11 drivers, but no luck there either. I've also tried 3 different crossfire bridges to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

Fill out your rig specs so we can better understand the problem. If they both work fine one at a time, when in cfx, the gpu tdp will be doubled... hows your psu?
