fuxx my laptop cant boot windows after adjust the core clock it hangs and off the power button !!

one thing to keep in mind, Do NOT put AUTO-OC in the program when you are testing the ceiling clock.
this will cause the above situation happen.

you should enter safe mode and disable the software from auto-startup via msconfig.

Why is there two accounts selling in lowyat garage sell, but both are the same under idealtech? yongkeen and zhenwei.

Is it safe to buy from them? I want to buy some thermal pastes from them.
Not coil whine. I had coil whine before but it isn't loud. Now I using better PSU coil whine is very rare.

both are under same Co. no worries there bro. buy with ease smile.gif

CF a Tri-x 290 or single 290X Tri-X.
which would you guys go?

take it Tri-X 290 @ Rm800/each and 290X at RM1.5k.
dunno when 390X will came and 800 bucks for Tri-X is too attractive.

concerning point, will GTA V let me max with 290 CF @ 1440p.

Of course CF 290 better.
If CF works it's so much faster, if it didn't work then about 10% performance loss.

But 1.5k for 290 Tri-X is expensive.
*
as per view net price after GST. and its Tri-x 290X. sorry if i write wrongly.

QUOTE(arifhasim85 @ Apr 9 2015, 12:44 PM)
rm1.5k for 290x tri-x is not worth it. 290 cf are much more faster than single 290x. just get the 290 and you can easily overclock it to 290x performance.
*
juz realize you running 290 CF. aint that a freaking 3 slot for each gpu?
ur rig is kinda similiar with mine in a way. except gpu part.
i guess i'll grab 1 290 first and another 1 later when Witcher 3 release.
how i spend my 780ti sales $$ - buy back 2 red gpu whistling.gif

thanks for the heads up folks.

my 290 cf are equipped with custom coolers.. so it becomes 2.5 slot gpu.. tri-x only take 2 slot.. still have headroom for cf config no prob. my experience so far with 290cf can maxed any game at 1080p (its kinda overkill for 1080p actually). but i think with your 1440p, a single 290 hard to maxed out all game especially the AAA one.. surely you need 290 CF  icon_idea.gif
*
yeah. even 780ti have problem to max out. hence, the idea of CF came into my mind biggrin.gif

Not quite... my GPU has only 2 fans... whistling.gif

4 fans would make the card impossibly long, or the card would be generating one heck of a noise, due to smaller fans... whistling.gif whistling.gif

Gigabyte Windforce 5x anyone?  icon_idea.gif

That 1 is Soundforce bro sweat.gif
y AMD card need 4 fans to cool down? cant brain. its not like aftermarket cooler can't cool down the gpu.

is it from mudah? the link i shared, so far my card is running superbly well no issues what so ever, running shadow of mordor on ultra settings can use up to 3.8gb of vram which my previous 970 was maxing out at 3.5gb and stutter of course  thumbup.gif
*
of course. brows.gif
did you oc your card ady? i'm going to crank it tonight. juz receive it from postmen. rclxms.gif
the seller is banyak efficient in replying my msg as well. deal done in less than 10min of whatsapp.

initially thought getting the dcu ii version from GS @ rm850 only. but after reading review, the heatsink sucks due to the pipe only have contact with 3 pipes instead of all 5.

nope i haven oc, my casing is too small and air circulation is bad. At full load on shadow of mordor my gpu temp ranges from 70-73 at 60% fan speed. I need to change my case badly.

Seller is super efficient, very easy to delal with him, did u get the tri x box? he told me other sellers wont be getting the box sudah habis stock kotak kuning all kotak merah after that.
*
that temp not bad. my previous 780ti dcu ii asus even reach 80C at 80% fan speed.
juz unbox it, its a red box. didnt told me about the box....but hell, its fine for me. the card is all that matters.

Is that manual fan speed? 60% is quite loud imo. My card usually ran around 30+% fan speed around 72C.

Tri-X can run fine at 80-82 C. At 81 C the auto fan speed will be set at 50-56%

50% fan speed is the speed that is slightly louder than my case fans.

What case are you using?
I used small case last time with bad circulation but I have aircon so it wasn't a problem then haha.
*
Headset > gpu noise / Loud speaker > gpu noise laugh.gif

try powercolor 6950 fan. accidentally forget to reset my msi AB configuration to auto and when i game, it freaking sound like a JET rclxub.gif
running at 80% speed coz i set my previous gc after aboev 70% = 1C = 1% increment.

That is the reason I refuse to buy anything brand new after GST. I noticed this stupid trend where even before GST they jack up the price like you mentioned. Not all the shop do this but its annoying when my favorite shop did it.

The reason why AMD R2 290 series is cheap is because it's old. If you open up GPU-Z you can see the announced date. The card is approaching 2 years old (290X released on Oct 2013!!)! AMD cuts their price after GTX 900 series comes out around Sept 2014.
*
but performance aint old. love my tri-x 290 now.
the only thing to do now is to find rubber and fix the god damn shroud noise whistling.gif

I have one question. What is the idle temperature for Sapphire R9 290x Tri-X?

And what is the ideal temperature during gaming? I played Farcry3 and Sniper Elite 3 on ultra setting the temperature reached 80 degree. Is it normal?
*
normal bro.
if it reach 100C then its abnormal.
if you want it around 70C, use manual fan setting. afaik, auto-fan setting is quite low due to noise control smile.gif

DX12 will be a game changer for AMD since they push their GCN feature way long back!! this should be done few years ago but m$hit see no importance of it.
