I'm from EU. I was thinking of ordering on ebay https://m.ebay.com/itm/BIOS-Chip-ASUS-Maximus-V-GENE-/380455697528. Anyway do you think that's my only option or is there still hope?

So it all started yesterday when i was trying to fix my motherboard which had a corrupted ME area that was causing lots of overclocking issues. Since a normal bios reflash couldn't fix it I decided to follow...

I might buy this motherboard: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-overview and I was wondering how far I could push a 2500k/2600k on this board. It is a Z68 board but it only has a 4 pin cpu power connector.

I might upgrade my GPU and i want to make sure my power supply is adequate. It's an XFX TS 450W PSU. System specs: -Core I3 3220 (looking to upgrade to a 2500k/2600k) -8GB HyperX Savage DDR3 1866Mhz ram -GTX 960 2GB -1TB Western Digital Blue 7200RPM hard drive -MSI h61 MoBo -XFX TS 450W psu

I have a very old Maxtor drive that I mostly use for games, photos and movies. Today I decided to open CrystalDiskInfo and noticed this: [img]http://imgur.com/t17Tzgo Is the Hard Drive dying?

Is it okay to use 32 ohm headphones (Razer kraken) with an 8 ohm 50 watt speaker amp?

The GPU is connected to 2 displays: -Lg Monitor (DVI) working properly -TV (HDMI) no signal I'm 100% sure it is an issue with the GPU and not the TV. Because as soon as I uninstall the drivers, everything starts working properly, but when I install AMD drivers again, the TV loses signal. I...

Is it okay, if I put a lamp on top of my wooden speakers?

I have a 60Hz 1080p LG monitor that supports 75Hz at lower resolutions. Would it be able to handle 75Hz at 1080p? Is there any risk involved in overclocking a monitor?

Thanks guys for the help! I really love the community here :D. Anyways turns out I can't really go much higher due to Gigabyte's 108% power limit the card throttles :/

Is possible to kill a GPU with the stock BIOS? I have a GTX 960 and I was wondering if its safe to max the voltage slider, which is limited to +100mV?

I have a GTX 960 and I'm having some issues with overclocking. Without increasing the voltage I was able to get +125 Mhz on the core and +400 on the memory, anything past that was unstable. That gave me a score of 920 in the Heaven 4.0 benchmark, which was a nice increase over the default clocks...

It says the warranty will be void if the damage is caused by high voltages. It doesn't say anything else about overclocking. So I assume I'm safe as long as the card doesn't have any burn marks on it. Does overvolting modifiy the BIOS, or does it only get saved to the software you're using (MSI...
