Good news. Since I was unable to fix the flashing on the secondary monitor for the Powercolor Radeon 4670, I decided to order the HIS Radeon 4670 and give that a try. Problem solved. There is no flashing on the secondary monitor with this card. The Powercolor card is being RMA'd. I'm out a few bucks...

More info... The flickering problem appears even when I have one monitor hooked up via DVI and the other via VGA. Maybe I just got a bad card? I'll probably try to get a replacement from NewEgg and hope it was a hardware problem. Does anyone else have their 4670 card hooked up to two monitors on XP....

Problem with dual-dvi on Powercolor 4670

Sigh... Hooked up my two monitors to the Powercolor 4670 via DVI over the weekend and unfortunately, the second (right side) monitor is exhibiting flickering whenever I do activity like moving or scrolling a window. I tried reseating the card. I also switched the monitors and cables but I always see...

I installed a Powercolor AX4670 in my new build and can attest that, although it has a fan, it is extremely quiet. I chose this model because of the dual DVI. Haven't tried any games on it yet, so don't know if the fan actually ramps up under load. I'll try to do some testing this weekend.

Thanks for the comments so far. The Thermalright HR-01 seems to be out-of-stock indefinitely at NewEgg, so I am thinking about instead cooling the CPU with the Xigmatek S1283. I'll get two Nexus 120mm fans as well...one to use on the cooler, and one of the rear case fan. What's the best way to sligh...

Comments on this Intel E8500/Asus P5Q/Radeon 4670 system?

Hi. I was hoping I might get some feedback on this configuration. I'd like to place the order in the next few days. This will be the third quiet system I've built (last was about 4 years ago). Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Motherboard: Asus P5Q Memory: 2 x Kingston 2GB DDR2-667 Case: Antec Solo ...
