Yeah, it wouldn't bother me at all, but it was allways meant to be sold, so that creates a problem.

Hello, i recently bought a used asus rx 570 expedition 4gb that has been previously used for mining. After installing drivers, i ran atikmdag patcher and it works fine. The problem is, i intend to put it in an old i7 rig and flip it, but as i understand, everytime new driver is installed, the...

The G1 is clocked higher, it has a premium metal cooler and backplate. Also, the windforce logo lights up in blue.

My vote goes for the g1 gaming. i had 2 gigabyte windforce cards before, never had a problem, they run cool, overclock well, and in my opinion they look amazing. So i ordered myself a 970 g1 gaming a few hours ago :)

I have 3 Arctic F12 120mm fans connected to a single CPU fan connector, so i don't see a problem with that(someone correct me if i'm wrong). In fact, that particular fans are made so you can connect more of them on the same fan header.

Ok here's what i did. If not for performance(at 1080p either one would be a beast) i looked into heat output and power consumption, and if i decide to sli later on, i wouldn't have to buy a new power supply. I found a g1 gaming 970 for 392€, and for the reasons mentioned above i decided to get...

i am looking one one of the cheapest online stores here. The prices are as follows: -GIGABYTE WINDFORCE 387€ -MSI 397€ -EVGA ACX 399€ -ASUS STRIX 404€ -GIGABYTE G1 408€ And the gigabyte 290 is only 322€. I should also mention i will use the gpu for gaming only at 1080p@60Hz

I currently have the 270x windforce oc and i like it a lot, so i decided to stick with gigabyte. Besides, Evga acx and MSI are all within 500-520$ range.

As the title says, i'm looking into these 2 cards. The problem is price. Where i live, prices are: - Gigabyte R9 290 Windorce OC: 400$ - Gigabyte GTX 970 Windforce OC: 485$ - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming: 515$ As you can see, we have pretty nice prices here, my question is, is it worth an extra...

I looked trough the internet and found nothing about lower than normal base clock, so i will post the solution here, if someone else faces this issue. I contacted asrock support and it turns out that the problem was in the hyper-v. Looks like if you have hyper-v and virtualisation in the bios...

Anyone?

Hello guys. I overclocked the pentium with these settings: CPU multiplier: 45 CPU cache multiplier: 35 CPU Vcore: 1.3v Ring bus voltage: 1.2 C states: disabled Bus speed: auto/100mhz In core temp and asrock a-tuning everything seems fine, but the cpu-z shows me the core speed of 4262mhz with...

Oh and one other thing. I was looking at Asrock Z97 Extreme3. I noticed it needs the latest version of BIOS in order for the pentium to work. But how could i know what version of BIOS is on the board once i buy it? On the official website doesnt say anything, but even if it would, i still had no...

prices here are the same. so there is no difference between gigabyte z97p-d3 for 90€ and lets say z97x gaming 3 in terms of oc-ing?

Hello Tom's Hardware! I currently have the amd A10 7850k with Gigabyte A88x mobo. I decided to switch to intel, and that's a field i know nothing about since i have never owned an intel cpu. I decided to get the pentium G3258 with a z97 mobo for future upgrade to 4690k. Now, i would appreciate...
