normal voltage all the way up to 960, memory cuts out at 1250 for me, i personally set the fan speed in the range of 50 to 70 depending on how long I'll be gaming.

Crossfire 5770's stock voltage 940 on the core and 1340 the memory.
One of the cards does get hotter then the other due to crossfire.
That's with the sapphire vapor-x cooler by the way.

Are your motherboard chipset drivers up to date? www.nvidia.com

How about DirectX? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...a-9b6652cd92a3

What video card did you previously have in your system?

This has always worked for me when there are driver problems: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=52502
Follow that, then make sure DirectX and your chipset drivers are up to date.

Tick that link, tick "download", then RUN. It will open a web installer and it will bring it all up to date for you. If you've never run that, it's most likely not up to date.
