Hello Gibbo,

Has the ETA for the PCS+ models definitely been confirmed for 31/01?

Cheers

There's a webshop in Sweden claiming to have PCS+ cards in stock and ready to ship, so hopefully the UK stock will be here on time/tomorrow.

Wish I could say the same, these cards have gave me a headache today -> http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18576913

PCS+ is a different kettle of fish. It's should have better components and a massively upgraded cooler.

Looking forward to you doing a review on them like the Asus DC2.

PCS+ uses very same AMD reference pcb, ie identical power delivery solution, not to say it is bad design choice in any way.
Behemoth cooler - easily on par to Sappo TriX but as i'm reading from chinese forums - unfortunately Epida vidmem. Let's hope not on all sku's.

Thanks Gibbo. Can't wait to get some feedback.

I'm really hoping that their PCS+ cooler will nail it when it comes to cooling performances and silent (yes I want both!) as my Windforce is clearly a disappointment to that regard.

Any links that might work in Google Translate or might have graphs we can look at?

My r9 290 from powercolour

POWERCOLOR R9 290 OC

http://www.powercolor.com/us/News.asp?id=1199

Well not had a single day in over two ewes where my PC hasn't crashed,bsod,graphical errors. Even took the PC to a specialist, not a happy camper tried all the fixes on the web nothing works will post all data below I have started the process to rma it.

The system is:

i7 930 socket 1366

6GB DDR 3 (2 x 133MHz and 1x 1066Mhz)

Intel DX58SO motherboard with latest BIOS

2 x 500GB Sata 2 HDD

Corsair HX 1050 PSU

The crashing is random sometimes occurring while gaming, at the end of gaming, on Desktop, browsing the internet or idling. Most of the time the display freezes and the mouse and ketyboard capslock lights working. Other times the screen is black and no display and occaisionaly a BSOD. The keyboard capslock usually responds and the hard disk activity is flashing if it's not a BSOD.


What we have tried so far:

-Flashed graphics card BIOS with the updated one powercolour emailed

-We have scanned for viruses and Malware

-Tested the power supply appears to be outputting 12v and 5v as normal.

-We have changed the power adapters supplying the card.

-The PSU is modular and we have changed the sockets the power is supplied from on the PSU and spread them on the available sockets.

-Changed operating systems Windows 8.1, Windows 7 home premium x64 and Windows 7 Ultimate x64

-Tried Drivers from Power Color website and AMD website CCC 13.6, 14.4 and 14.10 (Beta)

-Tried testing with only 2x2GB 1333MHz RAM

-Checked motherboard settings - no overclocking

-scanned hard disks for bad sectors

-changed PCI-E socket from socket 1 to to 2

-Disabling CCC

-Removed browsers apart from IE

-Set all Power Saving Options never turn off including hard disk.

-Tried Passmark and other testing software.

-Monitored card temperatures - not operating above recomended temperatures.

-Various under clock and voltage stuff out there on huge web using msi afterburner


I'm lost guys HELP ,,,,
