Re: PSU question

Thanks, That will save me a bit of cash getting the R9 290 instead of the GTX 970.
And do they really go to 90c? or is that just a Nvidia fanboy rant? It will be going in a pretty well ventilated Antec 300 case.

I have a Corsair CX600 PSU that I have had less than a year. And I do not want to replace it yet. Anyway my system specs are
CPU: i5 3470
Mobo: Biostar TZ77A
Ram: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1600
GPU: HIS R9 270 iPower IceQ X²
PSU CX600

I want to upgrade my R9 270 to a R9 290, The CX series is a decent unit, But I am afraid to attempt this because of the wattage, and the fact that it will be pulling close to max capacity. And I am not sure it is a good idea to run a PSU near max with lower quality caps. What do you think? Would my CX600 be fine running...

Re: Hansol H711

Sorry old post, But I had a H711 burn up on me last night. It was actually a very small transistor on the top circuit board behind the screen. I thought it might just be a resistor until I opened it up. It's complete junk now. But I did get my money's worth from it. I gamed with it since 2005. It has seen many Rigs too. However it was time to change it anyway, I should have got a new 1080p monitor when I built my latest rig.
