Well the problem is that for me there is no other space to mount the radiator well. On the top I would not want to mount it because on the one hand the radiator would be fed by warm air coming out of my CPU-air cooler. And on the other hand between the radiator and the air cooler of my CPU there...

Hello, I have got a Fractal Design R5 case and today I have found out about a big issue of this case. The thing is that I have a watercooled GTX 1080ti with a 240mm radiator which is mounted on the front. What I have noticed is that if the front door is closed the GPU is poorly cooled which led...

Well allegedly the next Nvidia generation that is meant for gamers will be "Ampere" from what I have heard and not "Volta". If the rumors I have read are correct we should see new cards in the second quarter of 2018. Anyways I will wait for the next generation because so far my gtx 970 is still...

Did you buy your gpu second pre-owned? If so it may be possible that the pre-owner tried to flash the BIOS and bricked that card.

Due to your CPU I wouldn't recommend you anything higher than a gtx 1060. Combined with a higher range card your gaming performance would probably be bottlenecked. I don't think that it is worth it for you spending almost €150 more for a gtx 1070 if it underperforms combined with your CPU...

Since I would only recommend you latest CPU generations I would suggest you the following CPUs: On AMD side the Ryzen 5 1400 - it is approximately 150€ On Intel side the i3 8350k - it is approximately 170€ If you want something that is more future oriented you could go for the 6C/12T Ryzen 5...

Well, I have also got an i5 6600k but only one GTX 970 and I don't think that the CPU should be the issue. Especially not with some OC. I have just watched some videos on youtube regarding AC Origins and I think that it is the game that isn't that good optimized. It seems to be harsh on every...

Well the i7 7700k is the best processor for gaming at the moment due to it's high clockspeeds. The only thing that I don't like about the i7 7700k is that it only has 4 cores and 8 threads - well so far it is enough. However video games start changing - the number of games supporting more than 4...

Yes MSI afterburner should also be able to show RAM usage. However I read some other forum threads about modded games. And as much as I learned from them mods are also very CPU intensive. So it may actually be a CPU bottleneck. 4C/4T at 3.6 GHz might really struggle with mods. If the RAM usage...

Well, so if you had only used 8 GB I would have considered a lack of RAM. However since you use 16 GB you shouldn't have any problems I think. I know there are games that need a lot of RAM but if you really use the complete 16 GB - I don't think so. But to be entirely sure you can use some...

Gamrod, how many gigabytes of RAM do you have :)? You mentioned that the game is heavily modded so if you were only using 8 GB of RAM you may definitely have too little RAM. The reason is that mods always need a lot of RAM :) I am asking you because I am not really sure whether you really have a...

Why didn't you overclock with your BIOS :)? Did you change the bus speed because it looks like you increased it from 100 MHz to 103 MHz? I wouldn't really change the bus speed because as much as I know changing the bus speed has a bigger impact on the whole computer - overclocking the bus speed...

No Problem :) let me know your results (clock speeds, voltage and temperatures) when you have finished :) and take your time - a good OC needs some time and testing :)

Hey, I have also got an i5 6600k - I have mine overclocked to 4.4 Ghz at a core voltage of 1.225V. Of course you could even clock it higher but in my opinion 4.4 GHz is the sweet spot for the i5 6600k. But please consider that your CPU may behave differently - you may not be able to achieve the...

Cioby, I did as you said and dismounted the cooler, cleaned the GPU and reapplied new thermal paste. Well after I did that I played some GTA 5 because it's a very GPU intensive game. And well the temperatures were at 60°C all the time :o I really don't know what I've done differently this time...
