Wow! I can get 139% proformance increase with a driver update. Time to go buy an APU.

That PSU is more for the next rig rather than this one. Probably shouldn't have bought it but the thought was in a couple years I would go all out and do something like triple SLI and custom water cooling.

What "further cleanup" do you suggest?

I'm new to this forum. This is my build. Let me know if you like it and/or give suggestions =) Case: Fractal R4 MB: Asus Z87 Sabertooth CPU: i7 4770k @ 4.4Ghz Memory: 4 x 4Gb 1600Mhz Gskill Sniper GPU: MSI GTX 780 SSD: 240Gb Intel 520 HD: WD Black 1TB PSU: Corsair AXi1200i CPU cooler: Zalman...

Yea, I was pleasantly suprised because I followed the guide "3 part guide to overclokcing i7 4770k" and they said try putting the voltage at 1.2V, 4.6GHZ and if your chip gets to the the bios then it is above average. Mine did that but couldn't get into windows desktop. I was using it at 1.2V...

Hi, I just put together a new build. I haven't upgraded for over 5 years so I wanted to go all out this time. The budget is around $2500. What do you guys think? What will you change/improve. Haswell build is not possible because I already ordered the i7 3770k before haswell came out. I know the...

Yes, if you do get 1920 x 1200. Much better. In fact, i just upgraded from 22 in. 1920 x 1080 to 24 in. 1920 x 1200.

Hi, I am trying to Overclock my i7 3770k to 4.5 GHZ with the Asus Maximus V Formula MB and Hyper 212 EVO air cooler. This is a fairly standard combination of componentry so I would imagine there would be ample information out there but after reading countless threads there are simply too many...
