As I remember tho that was not stable, Didnt you get artifacts off the memory?

Aye, but that's because i was practically at the limits of it, an aftermarket cooler wouldn't make much difference

well i also was told that the new power supply i bought for the card was pants for running that card.... not enough juice on the 12 v rail or something like that.

now i got that bit of info from ocuk tech support this morning on the phone ........if that is true then any psu products they sell should have information on the description that tells customers that its no good for certain types of graphics card. will see what happens with the rma first before i start blowing my top.

regarding the mobo situation......yeah i read that on here as well.....AFTER i'd bought it. but i hope thats incorect as well

would be handy if the descriptions pointed out that certain things are not a suitable combo. and yes i know you cant point out everything, but a psu not being powerfull enough for certain types of cards would be a sensible option along with mobo problems with cards

i'd assume a 550 w psu from a well known make for £82 from ocuk would handle 1 graphics card. common whats the highest psu atm ???? 650 watts ( ive not looked btw )

PSUs are funny... quoting peak wattage and in most cases its not accurate what they quote.. an £82 550w PSU id expect it to work aswell. Having said that freezing/locking up issues can be PSU related. As I found out with my 6800GT took me ages to get to the root of the problem. Hope you get it sorted out quickly mate frustrating that it is. I dont think its all people havin probs with the mobo so fingers crossed.

Yer I agree, the cooler aint doing much to the memory anyway. Just pointing out that memory clocks that high aint stable on these cards
