A potatoe can run H1 on high no problem. Engine is really well optimized and not demanding. Dayz on the other hand, my OCed 8350 (4.6ghz) and GTX 980 SC still struggles to get great frames in cities. Its not optimized that well yet and the engine keeps changing as development goes on. Its also...

You can MAX out dying light and maintain HIGH FPS? I have a GTX 980 thats overclocked and in certain parts of the city it drops down to about 35 FPS with it being maxed. I went with the 980 because it seems to be the most future proof right now. I was going to get SLI 970 but after my last...

bump!

I have always been a CPU overclocker, never tried GPU. Just got this bad boy and installed the PX software and was wondering some guidelines on how to overclock it properly? Im not looking to get MAX performance out of it, just wanna find what settings I should input for a solid overclock on the...

swapped out for a new processor and everything is normal. Idling at 20C and ran Prime with no errors and a max temp of 48C. But I think I found what happened. A THICK layer of dust (over the six months) somehow built up between the fan and the radiator of the H60. No airflow was getting in which...

Ok, tried a different PSU, that didn't solve it either. My last two options are a reformat to see if it is something in Windows (though it's showing a high temp in BIOS) or its the CPU

I have replaced the thermal paste 4 times now, with two different coolers. I always use about a grain of rice and that's always worked well for me keeping temps at idle 20C and load at 50c when I had an over clock. I don't understand why it was fine one day keeping perfect temps then out of...

Just got new motherboard, same problem. So now I'm wondering if I should replace the PSU or the CPU

I'm going to be throwing parts at it so I need to weed out what it isn't. I hardly use the second card as most games I play don't support SLI. this specific PSU should be able to handle a slight over clock and the components that are in it. At least longer than 6 months. If not, why would...

Ya I'm going to try that today. Problem was that when I would try to get into BIOS to just set everything to default, it would shut down before I could even hit the key, save and exit. I just want to make sure it has nothing to do with my PSU or my cpu chip itself.

I have had this rig running for about half a year now. It has been OCed since day one but has always been extremely stable and never given me any issues. Today I come home, turn it on and happened to look at my cpu temp, it was idle at 70C. That's not good. I tried opening a different temp...

figured it out. I had plugged the CPU fan into a split connector instead of into the pwer_fan socket. Problem solved, 15C idle now!
