    Funny you should ask alex. Just had a little play a few mins ago but vantage keeps freezing. Gonna uninstall and download it again and see what happens. First time it froze got an error about scripting problems then second time just stopped and I had to power off.

    Hmmmm, bizzare...perhaps its allergic to something like the DNA drivers? heh

    Reinstall of a fresh version with included updates doesn't sound like a bad idea; is it freezing in the same places?

    Now that we know what drivers and whatnot work, try a complete format and reinstall. So clean and working. I would bet that that will be more stable.

    Sorry its been a while. Vantage scores with both cards running was 9894 which is not too bad. Temp never rose above 88 on all the runs I did. On a side note got my CPU at 3.61 now and not one single BSOD. Running a dream.

    88's not bad, could be better but its sustained ;)

    would have loved an m17, although the machine along with single gpu now, i couldnt ask for more really.

    Still in the emergency room is it alex?

    No they're not... 'Shipment due soon' seems to be the staple response of the RMA teams :p
