I used the default settings for the test. Wasn't sure if it needed altering or not. I assumed people would compare scores based on the default settings.

I tested the speed of my HDD (3 partitions) using Crystal Disk Mark, but I can't find what should be the good/normal scores for a HDD. 7200RPM Seagate 1TB HDD. Model: STD1000DM003-1SB10C C: is 200GB, D: and E: are 400GB My scores are below C: Sequential Read (Q= 32,T= 1) : 176.253 MB/s...

Specs: i5 3330, GTX 1060 (6GB), 8GB RAM, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, Latest Windows 10 version In-game usage: ~3.5GB VRAM and ~6GB total RAM, pagefile at around 10GB (using automatic Windows-managed setting) Now, my problem is, I get horrendous stutters due to spikes in HDD usage, when the game loads a...

Did you find a solution? I have Quantum Break and I experience somewhat similar issues to you. The game stutters like crazy whenever a new pre-rendered cutscene plays or whenever I open a door. I have 8GB of RAM and 6GB of VRAM (GTX 1060) with an i5 3330. The usage in-game is only 3.5GB of...

I just hope the cooling is good. I've got an EVGA 960 SC (single fan ITX) and it's just a bit warmer than I'd like it. The Gigabyte GTX 1070 seems like it has got the best cooling though. Hopefully they use the same cooling solution for the GTX 1060 as well.

It appears that there are two sets of power sensors on the GPU. MSI Afterburner and Nvidia Inspector's "Total Power Usage" are both identical values. Meanwhile, HW Monitor, GPU-Z and Nvidia Inspector's "GPU Power Usage" are identical values. So from the above, it's pretty clear that there are...

Ok guys, between the three options above, I would like to know, which design would dump the least amount/% of hot air back into the case? Which design would offer the best cooling? Which design would offer the best of both worlds? I ask because I don't have a good case, so I need to know...

Can anyone please let me know why this is the case? Thanks!

Look, I just bought a 4GB GTX 960, and I did my research before buying. R9 380 vs GTX 960 (assuming both 2GB models): - Cons for R9 380: It runs hotter, it produces more heat, and it requires substantially more power to run. If these are not a factor for you, then disregard this con. - Pros...

Ok, but would there be any need to be more cautious, since we are talking about a GTX 960 "only" here and not a super high end card? Could it be such that a GTX 960 is fitted with lower quality components with lower heat tolerance, since it is expected to stay much cooler than those you...

Ok, so to confirm, if I were to run the GPU at 80C two hours every day, there should be no major decrease to the lifespan or performance quality of the GPU right? Would certain electronic components marginally degrade at those temps?

When I run 3D intensive games like The Witcher 3, Gone to the Rapture, Hitman and Rise of the Tomb Raider, my GTX 960 hits the 80C thermal limit. I can game for one to two hours at any one time. There are various reasons for me hitting 80C: I live on the equator with ambient temps of 29-35C...

Hi folks, I've got a Dell 0xr1gt motherboard. On HWINFO, it reports three temperatures from the motherboard. They are simply labelled as Temperature 1, Temperature 2, and Temperature 3. My question is simple - what could these possibly refer to? Based on my observation, Temperature 3 mirrors...
