Well I've tried both FEAR 2 and Crysis. After taking both cards out and blowing the dust out of them, and reinstalling them, I haven't had any more issues yet. It may have been a heat related issue after all.
Well I know for a fact that the top card is fine because with crossfire disabled I have no issues. I'm going to try swapping the bottom card in for the top one, and take the other one out to see if that card has any issues in a bit.
I have two 4870x2 cards and am running them in crossfire. With crossfire enabled whenever I run a game, about ten minutes in the game will freeze, and the screen will get all messed up with weird colors and lines going through it. Then I have to hard restart the computer. What could possibly be...
EDIT: SOLD
$260 shipped, If you're in the US. This motherboard is brand new and has never been used. Note: the shrink wrap was removed, and the box was opened because someone promised me they were going to buy it but wanted some pictures first, but then they decided to back out for some...
still for sale. Note: shrink wrap was opened because I had someone who wanted to buy it, and wanted to see the serial #, then they changed their mind and decided they didn't want the board, so it's still for sale.
Apparently an 850w Cooler Master PSU is not enough to run 2 4870x2s in crossfire, an I7 920, and one hard drive. After 3 minutes of Furmark the thing exploded.
The reason I was even running it on that PSU, is because something is wrong with my 1200w silverstone. I can't even run furmark for 5...
I got another board thinking one was DOA, so I bought another board, and it turns out the other one actually wasn't DOA, so now I still have this one, which I never opened.
I am mainly concerned about music. I don't really care as much about the gaming side of the XFI card. There is no resampling being done when it's getting sent to my receiver, because I have kernel streaming turned on, so it sends it exactly bit for bit. I'm still going to keep the XFI card and...
I have a $60 XFI Xtrememusic sound card. I have a $350 Denon-AVR688 home theater receiver that I am going to be using for all my music I'm playing through the computer. Would it be better to connect it via analog (RCA plugs?) which would be using the DAC on my XFI card, or would it be best to...

This is the system I am running
I7 920 @ 4ghz
TWO 4870x2's in crossfire mode (Diamond, factory OC'd)
3gb 1333mhz Corsair ram. (OC'd to 1600mhz)
Here are my results: http://www.2and2.net/files/4942bf9fd2bb4.png
Does everything seem right? I can't help but think maybe my cpu score is a...
I just ran 3dmark06 with only one 4870x2 and it scored 17,806.
not much of a jump with using 4GPUs. Do I have something set up wrong? Or is 3dmark06 just a bad benchmark for 4 gpus? I heard 4 gpu crossfire only works on an old version of the catalyst drivers, is this true?
I may have to just end up installing vista, but I've just been hearing that ATI crossfireX does not work on xp at all. (4 gpus) I just wanted to confirm if this is actually true or not? I just don't like the idea of an fps loss going from xp to vista which I see in most articles. I'm running 3...
I am getting a water cooling setup for my E6750 soon, and I was wondering, as long as the temps are fine, how much voltage is safe? I can push it over 4ghz at about 1.56v, could probably maybe go farther (waiting on my WC setup to get here) how much voltage is "unsafe"?
I am cooling an E6750 overclocked to about 4ghz. Right now it hits near 80c load on air with my Tuniq tower, that is why I decided to go with water cooling.
I just bought one of these:

Is this a good kit? What kind of temps should I expect? Is it easy to install? I am new to water cooling.
Yeah, I know the temps are way too hot, that's why I'm not keeping them there. Looks like I'll have to get water then? Any suggestions? Anyways, I dropped it to 3.8ghz and a lower voltage for my usage for the time being. This system gets 16.5k 3dmarks right now, so I can expect a mid 17k score...
