    Can i use a bad graphics card with a good cpu

    Agree with Bignastyid and wonder if you would be better getting a K processor for OC as well.

    CPU idle temps I7 4790K

    Just checked CPU core voltage in AI Suite and it is 1.325 volts - it is OC'd using asus ROG dual intelligent processors 5.. That is Offset Voltage = 0.025 V OC Voltage = 1.3 V I am going to get a H110i GT to replace it with as I am not happy with the performance of the H60.

    CPU idle temps I7 4790K

    HI, Ambient temperature in the room is below 17-19 degrees, temperature is roughly 13-14 degrees outside and I don't use my central heating until it gets cold (northern Britain). PC is on a table in the shade with clear space (30cm at rear which is only fan facing a wall). CPU Frequency =...

    Asus 980ti strix 690mhz in witcher 3

    xZEDx - I had a similar problem with going from a AMD R9 290 to this card. I think that despite doing a full remove and install something in windows was broken. I cannot recall what my MHz was but the performance wasn't what I expected. I RMA'd my first 980ti (MSI Gaming) as it was shockingly...

    CPU idle temps I7 4790K

    My CPU temps fluctuate pretty dramatically even when idle / using internet type stuff. The temps go from 32 - 50 degrees whereas temperature at start is only 17-19 degrees (check front panel temps). The average temperature appears to be about 36 degrees. My motherboard sits at around 27 degrees...

    High temps at idle and load with I7 4790k and Coirsair H60

    Acurze, First question what is your room temperature? There is a rule of thumb that your CPU will idle at room temp + 10 degrees - this might be nonsense but there is some truth in that unless you have a chiller then you cannot go lower than room temp. I have an I7 4790K and Corsair H60 my...

    Which one of these are the best graphics card?

    I could have sent you an MSI card but the UK price is $900!!! Good exchange rate tho. Out of the three cards you mention the msi got the best reviews from what I saw. I wanted the strix but it was out of stock everywhere. I got the MSI and was impressed but thought it was faulty and returned...

    PSU buzzes and whines when GPU under heavy load

    Thanks rogue leader, I read through forums but most seemed to deal with PSUs that were totally dying which this isn't. I wasn't 100% certain if my psu was inadequate but the general consensus is that cx=shit ;) I bought a hx1000i which I hope is decent.

    Which one of these are the best graphics card?

    I just rma'd a msi gtx 980 ti gaming thinking it was a dud but I think it is my psu now... The card is very well priced, good temps and is a nice size.

    PSU buzzes and whines when GPU under heavy load

    Before anyone says gpu coil whine, the PSU is 100% the source of the noise - I took it out the case and moved it as far away as possible from my rig. Running 3dmark fire strike normal my gpu score fluctuates from 12000 to 18000 and during the test the psu screams and whines. The fan is working...
