    Upgrade memory and CPU help

    This board doesn't support over 2GB sticks in each slot. Total of 4GB. Even a single 4GB stick will fail. Just in case anyone finds this ancient thread.

    SLI gtx 770 with gtx 970?

    Just thought it's worth pointing out that you can SLI two completely different cards. Some work, some don't. I read it a while ago. SLI and Crossfire are pretty much all software based. If you get a motherboard that says it's crossfire only and doesn't support SLI, you literally just need to...

    GTX 260 SLI vs Single GTX 760, worthy upgrade?

    I've decided to break my 7 year streak of NVIDIA and get a pair of 280X I think. They currently cost just a fraction under the GTX 770s, and I've seen great things regarding their overclocking abilities.

    GTX 260 SLI vs Single GTX 760, worthy upgrade?

    That's what I like to hear :). The 260's scale perfectly, but know a 760 is a good step up is great. I'm looking to move to two 760s before long, or possibly a 770 and another 770 down the line.

    GTX 260 SLI vs Single GTX 760, worthy upgrade?

    I know SLI 760s would be better than a 770 and such, but really I wanted to know what you'd expect the difference between a single GTX 760 and my twin 260s would be. I'd always plan to get a second card down the line, even if I ended up with two 770s, but for now I'm looking at getting a single...

    GTX 260 SLI vs Single GTX 760, worthy upgrade?

    I'm hoping to upgrade my gaming rig later this year, and nearly everything has been updated on it over the last 2-3 years, apart from the graphics cards. I'm running a 6-core at 4.0GHz, 16GB of 1600MHz RAM, a nice motherboard and plenty of fast, high-capacity drives, but I've never updated my...

    Winlogon exe is it a virus or not?

    Just for the record, winlogon.exe is not necessarily a safe application. The legitimate winlogon.exe is fine, and comes with Windows, but there are a LOT of malware that name themselves winlogon.exe or other windows-related names, because then it's harder for people to prove or notice that it's...

    Strange performance issue

    Are you able to run a diagnostics program while you game? It sounds a bit like an issue I had a while ago, which turned out to be an issue with my graphics cards not clocking up from 2D mode to 3D mode.

    Older laptop HDD converson cable to sata

    There are many conversion adapters available, many are very small - but generally with notebooks, there just isn't enough space to have an adapter. Once you open it up, instead of being on a ribbon cable, many slot into the pins that are actually on the motherboard. If you do have your HDD on a...

    60 FPS... is it the games or the card? GTX 670

    I've never had lag or any issues with vsync. If my game can go up to 60FPS, I cap it there as anything over that is just stressing my GPU for no reason.

    Socket

    Dudewitbow is completely right. If you have full access to your bios, you can try undervolting your CPU until it effects stability. Graphics cards and RAM can also be undervolted and underclocked to save energy. There are options in Computer > Propteries > Advanced that should also allow you to...

    650W OCZ ZT PSU Enough For New GTX 670+i5 2400 , 16gb ram ,2 HDD?

    Yeah you'll be fine with that 650W. You could probably get away with a good quality 500W really, so don't worry about it.
