instead of factory OC 735? 735 is what it is currently set at. Its freezing the computer.

 

[joh06937]

oops sorry meant 735. even at that it is still freezing? which drivers do you have?

 

[Joshua1187]

I DLed the newest drivers just last night I think? 10.8, just checked. Maybe im DLing the wrong version of Furmark?

 

[joh06937]

1.8.2 is the version i am running. got it form here:
http://downloads.guru3d.com/FurMark-1.8.2-download-2523.html

you checked in ccc for the clock settings?

 

[joh06937]

did you download the crossfire profiles when you did the drivers?

 

[Joshua1187]

Yeah, since i DLed new drivers it locked it at its regular clock speed. Playing L4D2 now, no problems. wonder what the deal is with FURMARK. :/

 

[joh06937]

but did you get the crossfire profiles? go to the driver page you got the regular drivers from. the link should be at the bottom of the page:

 

[Joshua1187]

is that not part of the full DL at the top? should i also download that other optional thing?

 

[joh06937]

pretty sure it is separate. i'd give it a try. nothing to lose by trying it.

 

[Joshua1187]

Downloading now Sir, THanks!

UPDATE: Now shall I try FURMARK?

 

[joh06937]

Downloading now Sir, THanks!

i hope it works i don't know why else it would be doing that other than maybe a driver thing. if the profiles don't help, i'll update my drivers tomorrow to 10.8 (i am using 10.7 now) and see if it happens to me.

give it a go!

 

[Joshua1187]

Success!

 

[joh06937]

YES! ha ha, awesome.

so go into msi afterburner and increase the voltage to about 1.15, the core clock to 850, and the memory to 1200. is the fan set to auto?

 

[Joshua1187]

I don't know how to set it to auto but i can set it to performance mode so its manually knocked up, if that will work.

 

[joh06937]

performance mode? are you talking about in msi afterburnder (not furmark)?

for the fan, go into ccc and go to overdrive and make sure the "enable manual fan control" is unchecked.

 

[Joshua1187]

HA! you meant for my GPU, yeah thats unchecked and the performance setting comes with a program on with my Mobo.

 

[joh06937]

which program? just use msi afterburner (the left side of the afterburner window) and change the sliders to the desired settings (1.5 on the core voltage, 850 on the core clock, and 1010 on the memory clock).

 

[Joshua1187]

TurboV EVO, I'll use MSI, 1.5? or 1.15 as instructed earlier? Mem is already at 1010

Also you said memory should be 1200 first time as well, should I leave it at 1010?

oh shit, sorry 1.15 and 1200 it's late

 

[Joshua1187]

ok, it goes by 2s or somthign so i set it at 849 (or should it be 851?) Set mem at 1200, it wont let me change the voltage.

Update: It also wont let me turn fan on Auto.
