    Spec me a new PSU

    Much appreciated. I think I'll favour the higher wattage psu given how poorly my current one seems to be handling things. :)

    Spec me a new PSU

    So I've come to believe that my 6 year old 900W PSU is the reason for my troubles trying to run 2 Vega 64s in crossfire. It's running absolutely fine until I plug both cards in and try to do anything strenuous. I've narrowed it down to either a PSU or motherboard problem, but I can't find...

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    May be worth an upgrade then. Thanks, I'll keep testing for now and see how it goes :)

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    I'm thinking it might be a power issue. I spent some time testing with lengthy loops on Valley and Heaven and a couple games today with no problems in xfire. As soon as I use balanced/turbo profiles with FurMark it instantly crashes. What PSU are you using in yours? Might be mine's just not up...

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    Directly from my OcUK receipt, looks like I was mistaken about the 950 earlier :p: Lepa G-Series 900W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply It is admittedly a few years old now, but I've not had any other problems using it thus far.

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    I've not touched ULPS yet will give that a try. I'm running the high performance power profile in win 10 though if that makes any difference. I've kept both Vegas (Power color air cooled) on the inbuilt power saving settings since I'm running on a 950w power supply (just to be safe)...

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    Fair, I'll keep testing on my end. Benchmarking seems fine for me it's sustained use in a single game for up to an hour that starts manifesting trouble. Benchmarking 2 Vegas is definitely good fun though :D

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    Is anyone running 2 vegas in xfire/mgpu? I'm wondering if I'm the only person having problems with mine. Everything seems okay with only one card in (tested both cards although not particularly rigorously) but with two cards running together I get crashes after about 30 mins or so where the...

    Switching Sky->BT on a full cabinet

    This is exactly my worry, would rather keep the expensive FTTC connection than risk be stuck on ADSL2.. :( It's good to know that it is possible at least, but for some reason switching to BT we can't get the same sort of guarantees? The 'tier 1' sales I was speaking to certainly didn't seem...

    Switching Sky->BT on a full cabinet

    Hoping somebody has had some experience with this sort of issue. We're looking at switching our ISP since the contract period on our Sky fibre has expired and the total cost per month is jumping up quite significantly. Virgin doesn't service our road and I've been looking at BT infinity...

    **** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

    Bit gutted, I preordered a physical copy of the collectors edition of lotv, no access to the prologue missions. Seems only people who preordered from blizzard get that particular perk. Its only annoying because you cant actually get the collectors edition from blizz otherwise it would be a no...

    Alien Isolation - memory leak?

    Likewise, played through all of it, and had it paused for long periods of time, no issues on my end (played on the rig in sig). Tried a reinstall + reinstall of drivers etc?

    **** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

    Just had a look at the page, need to start watching streams a little more anyway they're good to have on in the background :p. Also that's a very nice rig she's running there! Is that your sponsorship in action? :D

    **** Original Starcraft 2 Thread ****

    I've been keeping an eye on the Legacy of the Void reveal, hopefully that will get some people back into it, myself included. Had some great times on WoL :D

    Should I buy an expensive 290x?

    Well it's been in for a good week now and is running beautifully, you can barely hear it even when it starts really spinning up. :) Built a PC for a friend with the same card so I had a cheeky look at what they're like in crossfire, mind = blown. Tempted to get another one for myself but I'll...

    Should I buy an expensive 290x?

    Oh noes. :( Any idea when that's likely to be?

    Should I buy an expensive 290x?

    Haha alright :p I'll just see how it goes and hope for the best. Cheers again!

    Should I buy an expensive 290x?

    Oh how's the fan noise at load btw for you? :) I assume you're still using the stock cooler..

    Should I buy an expensive 290x?

    Fair, well as long as the memory deal is on I'll go for the Powercolor 290 then. If not I'll start looking at vapor cards again but it's very difficult to argue with a >£150 saving when that's half way towards a second 290 :p. Many thanks to everyone who's posted it's been really useful to...

    Should I buy an expensive 290x?

    That's useful to know cheers, I'm already getting a 4790k at a shockingly cheap price :D and my old components are already covering the cost of the processor and motherboard. It's a little tempting to go for the 290x version though just because it saves the hassle of pushing the overclock...
