This got a bit lost in the owners thread, so I'll try again.
The first is an annoyance rather than a big issue.
My AOC Q2770PQU monitor (1440p) is connected via the Mini DisplayPort but it has a real issues coming back on, once it goes in to power save mode (activated after 15 minutes).
Sometimes the monitor does come back on after a few attempts, other times I have to turn the monitor off and on again.
I always get this message afterwards
I can't connect the monitor via DVI because I'm using the DVI output with a HDMI adapter so I can use my 1080p plasma.
I could have course turn off power save, but I shouldn't have to...
The second issue is the biggest concern. I'm using MSI Afterburner 4.0 to monitor my stock card (not overclocked) and the Rivatuner overlay in games.
GPU 1 never really gets higher than 69C. However GPU gets to 74C pretty quickly and then that starts to show throttling on the core clock, from 1018 down to the low 900's.
I've checked the case to make sure nothing is causing the issue but I can't figure out why it would be getting hot so quickly. Do you think I might have a slightly faulty/poor card? It shouldn't throttle at stock speeds surely?
Case has a 120mm fan intake (pull) at the front, 2x 120mm fans on a Seidon 240m rad (CPU cooler) at the top of the case pushing air out and the 295x2 rad/fan are at the back of the case (higher than the card) to push air out the back.
CPU is overclocked 4770k to 4.5Ghz.
Doesn't seem to make a difference if I open the case up or not though.
