Recently noticed in GPU-Z that my GPU was running at PCIe 2.0 and not 3.0... Did some research and found that NVidia and X79 chipsets have a history with this 3.0 thing: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3135/ So I have not seen any information regarding PCIe 3.0 on X79 boards...

Thanks for the tips man, yeah just figured out my PSU is failing so just purchased a new one lol. I should be hitting my target clocks in about 4-7 business days (newegg supersaver shipping lol)

I appreciate the independent testing - I have been using FurMark and P95 for years and have found that for FurMark I like to use 1024x768 w/ 2xMSAA for a significant GPU stress test. P95 blend uses a nice mix of CPU and RAM, heavier on the CPU (100% load) and only uses a small portion of...

When I run p95 and furmark together, furmark gets very sporadic and drops fps and jumps around real laggy. OCCT also shows some weird fps drops. I think its bad fps but I want to see if other more experienced builders would come to the same conclusion before buying a new psu? 4820k i7...

See title... happens no matter if oc or stock, always fails after 2 hours almost on the dot. I assume bsod, however I come back to the standard 'windows recovered from error' message. Not a temp issue, temps are solid across the board. Never had something fail at such an exact time, every...

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for all your help! I will have to fiddle with Windows power settings a bit I think, but will check out Core Temp again and see what I can do. I'm running a 4.5ghz overclock and working to get it stable, I can get about 3-4 hours out of it before...

Curious what the max safe operating temps are for the Ivy Bridge-E architecture, particularly the 4820K. Have scoured google and not found anything definitive. Have found a handful of sources vaguely stating "keep it under 75C" but nothing definitive. Intel website states Tcase is 66.8C, which...
