    FX-8350 Overclock 4.6ghz: Unstable because of ram speed?

    PriPhaze...I also had the prime95 crashing when I started overclocking through FSB.I see you say to manually set timings, but how do I know what's the correct timings to match my overclock?

    Time to upgrade GPU - Is the GTX980 overkill for me?

    But if you can't squeeze out that extra bit of cash and get the 980ti, I'd strongly suggest getting the 970! It is a great card and the vram thing never really was an issue for me at 1080p. And they seem to be dropping in price pretty regularly so picking up a second later shouldn't be overly...

    Time to upgrade GPU - Is the GTX980 overkill for me?

    Being someone who went from 2x 970s to the 980ti, I must say I don't regret it at all! It truly is a beast of a card! No it doesn't blast the 2x 970s performance away but it's right there with em, fps are pretty much the same with a few titles a little higher or lower here and there. But what...

    GTX970 SLI/ 3x monitor setup

    I appreciate the reply MarkW but my question is more aimed at the video plugins on the cards. I already have the 2x GTX970s installed and have been running them for a few weeks and I'm not really looking to add a third 970 anytime soon, I was just wondering if when I'm plugging up the 3 screens...

    GTX970 SLI/ 3x monitor setup

    I have 2 GTX970s in SLI already and 3x 1080p monitors on the way. My question is what will I need to have them up and running? cables, drivers, anything else I may be unaware of ? Also in terms of connecting all of them can you connect two plugs to one gpu (hdmi/dvi) and the third to the hdmi...

    Witcher 3 only 50-65 fps on ULTRA max with 2x GTX 970's!

    Just got my second 970 and was having the same issue at first! What I did was go into Nvidia Control Panel and I made sure sli was enabled of course,then went into "configure SLI, Surround, PhysX"and under PhysX settings change the processor to CPU, then under "Manage 3D Settings" go to global...

    GTX970 SLI / Modular PSU

    I am currently running an EVGA GTX970 in my pc, I've ordered a second for SLI, but I was just looking at my psu and noticed it only has one cable coming out of it that has 2x 6+2 cables that's powering my current 970... it's a modular so it has plugins for more cables but the only ones I see...

    water cooling gtx970 w/ Corsair cooler

    Also as an update and to not confuse people about the redesigned heatpipes comment... I cancelled my Amazon order for the used EVGA gtx970 sc(294$) and have since ordered a NEW EVGA gtx970 SSC w/ backplate and Witcher 3 for only 339$ from Newegg! And seeing that it's gonna be brand new I'll have...

    water cooling gtx970 w/ Corsair cooler

    Decided to call EVGA today and they informed me that so long as you keep the stock cooler and can put it back on if you need to send it in, it doesn't void warranty! Also with the version I ordered it has the ACX 2.0+ which is a redesign to fix the whole heatpipe issue which doesn't matter to...

    GTX 970 PCB's compared!!!! Pic's. EVGA fails..

    In response to original post are you sure it was the ssc and not just sc? The ssc version is said to have an entirely new cooling design (ACX 2.0+) as opposed to just ACX 2.0 with sc...

    Kraken g10 bracket + gtx 970 and 980?

    Kinda sucks bc nzxt g10 compatibility only really means it'll attach to card, but doesn't ensure it'll cool ALL components effectively... has anyone ran the 970 with g10 and monitored vram temps?

    Best Water-Cooling Case Between $95-140$

    If looking for a good case for water cooling, I must suggest the Corsair Carbide Air 540! It's the one I went with and it is awesome, plenty of room for radiators up top, in the front, rear and bottom! It's not shaped like a normal tower it's more of a cube shape but it makes for great airflow...

    Best water cooling kit $100 budget

    I ordered a h100i for about 95$ on Amazon a few weeks back and the change it's brought to my cpu temps is ridiculous! Before it I'd be hitting 60-65 within 40-45 mins of normal gaming with no maxed out settings.since installing the h100i I have yet to see it hit over 50 even after an hour or...

    water cooling gtx970 w/ Corsair cooler

    I ended up going with the Evga 970 SC bc it was the only one within my price range... I really won't mess with overclocking for a while as I'm still pretty new to pc, but I may down the line. I'd really like to use the new liquid cooler I have after seeing how drastically it's lowered my 760...
