So there is no way to allow the voltage to drop after you’ve finished putting a load in it?

Not necessarily. Leaving it stock will automatically lower voltages when in Idle whereas undervolted will not, hence the difference in Idle temps. On full load however stock reaches 80+ while undervolted it barely exceeds 70. A simple fan curve cannot accommodate for such a huge difference as...

Hi, I’ve been getting into undervolting recently and I found it super beneficial with my 1080 Ti Aorus, non-extreme as I like my PC quiet and run my fans on low RPM, due to this the GPU can sometimes hit 80°+ underneath max load. Undervolting made a world of difference as my card is now...

Hello, I’m currently in the works of rebuilding my PC into the Cooler Master SL600M. Everything was going great until I realized my cpu cooler could not fit in the case. I use a Kraken x62 and the top 280 radiator just doesn’t have enough clearance with the board (the fans technically don’t)...

Thanks for the response, noted and corrected. In regards to your question, yes. I have noticed a difference between clocking at 1500-1600 and 1900+ and it’s bugging me that the cooler is restricting the true performance of the chip. My thought with this was if I decided to spend an extra 50€...

Hi guys, I'm sure that there is a very detail thread somewhere around here regarding this topic however I couldn't personally find anything completely relevant to my case. So this goes out to all of the 1080 Ti owners. I've recently upgraded from a 1060 6GB to a 1080 Ti Founders Edition second...

Depends on what kind of budget you;re running on, what type of resolution you're playing on, etc. For starter I would (and I have) picked i5 8600k, It's an amazing CPU. The 1060 is great for 1080p gaming but I would personally wait for Volta since the 1000 Series are a year and a hold old now. I...

Hey dudes, I've recently bought a new rig, quite the upgrade considering my last rig was from 2010, anyway. I chose the i5 8600k paired with an NZXT Kraken x62 cooler and an MSI Z370 SLI Plus mobo. Since it's been a while since I've been in the tech market I don't know the limits of this chip...

For now I've turned off the analog monitor, but the problem and flickering's still there

I was playing Crysis 3 last night for a bit after which I put my PC to sleep and went to sleep myself. Today I turn it on and it starts flickering and losing brightness. Forums say its an issue when connecting a second monitor, but I only have a single 24' LG Monitor. I go to the Nvidia...

anything other than the Corsair?

Your 660Ti is a really good card so it depends. If you play MMOs like Planetside 2 or if you render stuff then you should go for the new CPU. But If you you play games like Battlefield 3, Borderlands 2 or Metro you should upgrade your GPU. And if you're going to to SLI you need to have a gaming...

I wanted to downgrade from my GTX 460 to a GTX 295 mainly because I am Frames Per Second hungry and I want to do something about it till the end of the summer. And I do know that the 295 lacks DX11 but I don't care much about it. I did end up getting a nice bargain for a 295 but the problem is...
