    1060 Windforce OC mode doesn't work...

    Has anyone else had this issue? One of the selling points of the GTX 1060 Windforce OC 6gb graphics card is the "easy, one click OC mode".... Well I tried clicking it, no dice.. I have the latest version of the xtreme gaming app. Any help here? Only able to select gaming mode and Eco mode.

    Upgrade from 970 to 1060 worth it?

    Yeah I noticed that the only real difference between G1 and Windforce OC was very small speed difference, like 40mhz, and the led lighting which I don't care for. So I think I'll go with the Windforce OC 1060 6gb card.

    Upgrade from 970 to 1060 worth it?

    Ok NextGear, I think the only advice I got was, get the meanest/badest 1060 I can? The 1060s I'm looking at frys are around $250-$280. In particular the Gigabyte Windforce OC 1060, it's the best priced for base/boost speeds that's I've found. Scuzzycard, thanks for the simply advise. That's...

    Is 3000mhz DDR4 too much for my build?

    Ok, well I think I'm going to exchange the 3000mhz 4x4gb for 2666mhz 2x8gb. Seems like most of you recommend frequencies lower than 3000mhz. I feel like I may of been having stability issues because of my weak PSU. I just ordered a EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2. So do you guys think I should just keep...

    Is 3000mhz DDR4 too much for my build?

    Yeah my PSU is going to go. I got it free but it's being replaced soon with a better one. If I were to get, say, 2666mhz ram, should I be ok enabling XMP and setting the proper timings and uping voltage so that it actually runs at 2666mhz? Because the motherboard runs all ram at 2133mhz by...
