Very nice case with lots of space inside and fan mount points that accept 140mm fans. 140's can be much quieter than 120's at the same CFM rate. And yes I have one of these cases :DQuote:

My 7970 came in yesterday. Only got to play with it for an little while. I can't believe how poorly this card does on POEM. My 5870 beats it easily with the same settings. On the other hand it does a Milkyway task in 43 seconds.
Was also surprised at the lack of any type of manual included. The included disc was useless and way out of date. You know there's a problem when the disc GUI has a PhenomX4 prominently displayed. Then when I tried to register the card on the DMM website all I got were error messages. OK, I'm done ranting but I'm pretty disappointed so far. Hopefully I can tweak it for better POEM results.
I read that the card is a monster on Donate and on DiRT. Donate is the money behind GPUGrid. I can't wait to play with it.Quote:

Anyone who bought one of the Diamond 7970s during the Amazon sale having any problems. Mine's already artifacting while doing nothing but web surfing. Try to put a load on and it crashes. Looks like RMA time.:mad:
Holy sh_t Really? Sorry to hear that. So much for Diamond's quality....Quote:

He spent an hour on Skype with me trying to get it to work. but no go. Here is the link about the inability of Boinc to run two AMD gpus. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=7796Quote:

Wait. So you're saying that you *did* do more than just change the GPU clock? Details please?Quote:

Out of Stock at Detroit/Madison Heights Micro Center ... Same here, the nearest Micron Store is about 80 Miles from me, I figured they'd be sold out before I got there ... :rolleyes:
aye, the brother said the store had actually sold all its stock online before it opened today so im assuming that happened to all the stores. I though it was instore only, oh well... maybe next time.

DDR3-1600 is 20% faster then DDR3-1333 but that is relative to CAS latency (Lower = faster). That is why RAM with higher CAS is cheaper.
Wikipedia on DDR3 ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM
On the RAM STE\/E posted, just change the timings to 8-8-8-24, change voltage to 1.60V and it's the almost same thing. Or leave the timings alone and change it to 1600MHz at 1.65V. Easy work-around to save a few $$ :)
