I hope that's your fans running at 10.5v in the last pic, and not the 12v line on your PSU

Hell, I doubt my card even works with those voltages. Without crashing that is. Think about it Thanks for the concerns though, glad the community is watching out for one another.

Hey, we are both Dutchies, we make sure we don't need to buy new stuff when it's not necessary. That costs money!

Then again, what's my definition of necessary?

I heared that ATI Tool shows the voltage the card draws FROM the 12v line not what voltage is actually on there. I checked with HWMonitor and in the BIOS and they all show 12.12v which is normal, right?

You don't "draw" voltage, you draw current. It's like opening the tap: line pressure (voltage) stays equal, you draw content (current).

I wouldn't put to much stock in what the BIOS says mine lies all the time tries telling me mines only 11.98V but hwm and everest and sisoft and AMD Overdrive all say 12.10 even OCCT says it doesn't dip below 12V when being hard pressed

I think my modem is going bad. Internet access is cutting out every few minutes. The Comcast people won't be able to come and look at it until Monday but I think I'm going to try to buy a new retail modem tomorrow. So, instead of fighting with the neternet, I'm playing a little Red Dead. Also, I don't have any way to hear the PS3 when it's hooked up like this, so instead of listening it to the horrible monitor speakers, I'm just listening to muskiks on my computer.



But, right now the internet is up so I'm watching The Book of Eli while browsing the webs.

Nah I'm pretty certain that it's my modem. I called customer service and the guy's diagnostics showed that there was nothing wrong with the signal coming in, so there's either something wrong with the modem itself or the cable line. (plus it hasn't stormed in months).

Try a traceroute to google

Run-->CMD-->Type: tracert www.google.com (space in between "tracert and www.google.com")

If you get bad pings in the 1st or 2nd pass, it's your problem. Anything after that, it's a different problem.

Very vivid colours I'd say. Good contrast and a resolution of 1680x1050. DVI and VGA options available, although HDMI is not included.

that's not bad then DVI's fine would like HDMI but here in NZ retailers still like to overcharge for it mostly around a 100 bucks more for a same size / make LCD with HDMI which i thinks sucks and shouldn't be allowed but meh what can you do except bitch and moan

Here's the results:



The thing is, access will be fine and dandy like it should be for 30 min, an hour, whatever and then it'll just drop off (it was down for about an hour this morning).
