6970 Issues

[Bashy123]

Ok, when I was trying to overclock the other day I realised two things.

1)The voltage control in Afterburner was blanked out, even though when I did the unnofficialoverclock = 1 thing, still not there.

2) When my graphics card hits about 72ish degrees C, it will freeze for a couple of seconds, go black, then come back as if nothing has happened.

Do you think that this is a problem with my graphics card, or is it common?

Ok, I will try and reply to everyone, to give as much info as possible.

maximusmi2: Yes, it is overclocked to 950/1450 +20%, and HWMoniter always shows the maximum temp as being 72C, so I assumed this was the cause. Also, looked it up, and yeah, the 6970 isn't supporting voltage control on other cards, so I just need to wait.

koooowweeee + Guitarman0: I have tried 10.12 and 10.12 rc3, but it always gives the same results.

Justintime: It could be an issue with my PSU, it is only 600W, but why does it only do it when my fans are at 30%, and not at 50%? This is what leads me to believe that it is related to temps. In any case, I'm going to remove the sound card from my computer, as I am currently not using it (Not supported in Windows 7 very well) so maybe this could free up a small amount of Watts

600W should be more than sufficient, what brand psu though?

It's either OCZ or Corsair, not 100% certain, I bought it a good few years ago so not so sure, but I remember checking it when I bought it and it wasn't too bad if I remember correctly. Think it was something like a stealth, and it had SLI certified support
