    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.

    On it's way back to Amazon. Wonder how long this will take? I'm not a happy camper.

    I ran both of mine for 24 hours on Dirt and then a few hours on Donate. Temps we 61 and 57 at 1125. Not a single issue. They are loud tho. Sorry to hear about the crashes. I'm going to run them harder longer now just to make sure.

    Considering how many of those were ordered by this team, to only have 1 fail isn't bad at all. I still say Diamond is a quality brand. The members of this forum have seen far more EVGA products fail and no one is trashing them

    Not trashing them. Just not happy it failed so quickly.

    Good point. Even Z had a problem with the first 7990 and had to send that back.

    Did you do anything other than crank up the clock to 1125? Any voltage or memory clock changes?

    No, nothing other than to bury the needle on core clocks and lower the Mem. clocks on Afterburner. I'm now on Donate because I can't get Boinc to run my 7970 and 5870 in the same box, on different projects. I wanted to run the 7970 on DiRT and the 5870 on Poem. A shout out to Matt. 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=7796

    I'm running 2 wu's on Donate for each gpu. I'm prob. going to have to pull out the 5870 and just run the 7970 on DiRT. Just going to wait till tomorrow or Thursday till i get some time.
