Ah yes oligod gets it, the code behind frostbite 3 is truly magnificent if you can see things on a broader scale so to speak. The amount of information needed to transfer from server to player, back to server then to other players is just staggering and all happening in near real time. Don't...

Yes. That's my point when it comes to the (mine looks better than yours) argument. It's what's under the hood that differentiates between game engines and frostbite kills them all when it comes to true power. Frostbite 3 is already being utilized by at least 15 game makers now, why do you think...

Im in the same boat, I'v set my offset to -0.015 and reduced adaptive to 1.165 which = 1.155 adaptive voltage. At full load (4.6ghz) draws 1.195 volts and may spike to 1.205 volts. Adaptive still works in lowwering the voltage but only slightly, the biggest canges come with adjusting the -offset...

Why Push-Pull? the x60 rad is too thin to see any real benefit from this. I'v just replaced the two fans for my x60 with a pair of NOCTUA INDUSTRIALPPC NF-A14 IPPC-3000 PWM 140X140X25MM, 4-PIN PWM, 3000RPM MAX, IP52 FANs. They dropped the temps at load by an average of 4 degrees celsius and are...

Don't the corsair h100i have a seating problem? I have read posts about poeple using washers as spacers to have the cooler seat properly

windows 8.1? Go Pro dude. OCCT, Realbench, furmark, cinbench, IBT, XTU, aida64 free

You remember the haswell fiasco and how Intel came up with DC to fix the issues with haswell. Nuff said

You'll get there faster if you go for the Maximum clock first 4.6ghz with core voltage at 1.2 then drop the multiplier until bsod doesn't happen, from there start fine tuning. If your not satisfied with your overclock, then start adding voltage. Overclocking is very much a process of...

Really, it depends on the work and programs your using that determines your solution. More cores is usually the way to go when it comes to rendering but if the program is single threaded except for the renderer as just about all 3d programs are, the choice becomes harder.

As far as Haswell goes, LLC does nothing for vcore voltage. It effects and helps reduce VCC-in voltage drop. I have mine set to 4 in bios

I have almost the same setup as you. CPU: i7-4790k (Made in Vietnam) too. Motherboard:Maximus VII Hero RAM:16 GB RipJaws ( 8GB X2 ) 1866mhz GPU: EVGA GTX980 I am able to reach 4.6ghz @ 1.185volts and cach at 4.4ghz for 1.185volts stable in manual although when I set it to adaptive the chip...
