Bump. Help, please? Anyone dealing with this?

Hi, I am experiencing screen flashing primarily in the upper part of the screen during games - no other times, really - and specifically during Arkham Knight, Witcher 3 and GTA V. Obviously I get AK, but the others...strange. This flashing is also very frequent during load screens, which seems...

I am upgrading my build from an H97 board to a Z87. I'm keeping everything else the same, including the CPU. What I could really use is a good step-by-step on what exactly I should be backing up and doing before I start the whole rebuilding process. I have Windows 8.1 installed on an SSD, but...

My PC right now: Intel i5-4690k Kraken x61 ASRock H97 Pro MSI GTX 970 ME 8GB 1600 RAM Capstone 550W 80+ Gold PSU I know my board isn't the best option out there, but it's also hard to find much literature in the way of comparing it to others -- most of what I find about it is before ASRock...

I know, there are probably 500 topics just like this, but I was hoping sharing the rest of my setup would help me narrow it down some and help me get some advice on whether I should go with a z87 or z97 board (or even stay with what I have now). I currently have an ASRock h97 Pro ATX, with an...

Well, after more testing, I got my stable overclock to 4.4GHz at 1.2V, with a high temp of 78. I'm a baby and kind of didn't want to go hotter. That's still .5 GHz more than the number on the box, so I'm pleased. Thanks again.

Ha! We think similarly, I see. I'm looking around at ASRock boards specifically, and what I need to be adjusting in the UEFI/BIOS as far as the voltage goes. I'm assuming the CPU core voltage is what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of overclocking my i5-4690k. I've gotten it up to 4.2GHz, and am currently stress testing it with Prime95 at 4.3. It's hitting a high of 76C. Everything I've read says to keep this particular chip under 80 when stressing. I've got the CM Evo 212 on it. Here's a...
