    i5 6600K @4.8GHz 1.3v High Temps w/ Kraken X61

    HWMonitor + CPU-Z http://prnt.sc/eongbu From what I've heard, 4.8 at 1.3v is pretty lucky (Sadly 4.9 crashes even with more volts), so I'm happy about that, but I feel like I have my cooler configured wrong or something. I found a post on Reddit of someone with the same OC but with temps maxing...

    BSOD every few hours, no logs. Help ASAP.

    This isn't on my PC, but a friend of mine who I'm paying a visit tomorrow to try and fix his PC. I only know what he's told me, and I'll explain as much as I can here. According to my friend, on August 6th he got a BSOD, and every day since he's been getting BSOD's every 4-5 hours. The thing...

    New PC boots into BIOS by default, SSD can be selected to boot

    Just put together a new PC, and all is going well except one little thing. When I boot the PC it goes to the Asus screen and stays for a second or 2, then goes to the American Megatrends screen, then says press F1 to enter setup. It stays on that screen unless F1 is pressed, which takes me to...

    System Instability No Overclock | Prime95 Crashing

    Would running a program like CCleaner get rid of them? I ran it last night to see if deleting stuff would fix anything, and i haven't experienced a blue screen since earlier that night. If you really want me to, I could load up a game and wait for a blue screen and I could send you that file.

    Prime95 Test Results Explanation Needed

    I've made 2 threads regarding the issues I've been having, and I think I've figured it out, but want conformation from someone who knows better than me. I've been having issues with my PC crashing during games, which I originally thought was my GPU. Through various stress tests, the GPU ran...

    System Instability No Overclock | Prime95 Crashing

    Do a what? Can you link me a video or explain how to do that? I'll gladly do it if it will help, but it might not be until tomorrow. I have MemTest86 running right now, with no sign of it being done any time soon.

    System Instability No Overclock | Prime95 Crashing

    So a few days ago, I made a thread talking about some system instability I was having. ( http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3043320/bsod-shutdowns-driver-failures-attempting-gpu-overclock.html ) I had originally thought it was the video card, but I'm starting to think otherwise. Give the...

    BSOD's, Shutdowns, and Driver Failures after attempting a GPU overclock. Please Help!

    A bit lengthy of a post, but I'm in desperate need of help. So yesterday I decided to give overclocking a shot on my EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 GPU, after seeing Paul's Hardware do it. I started with a modest overclock, and ran Firestrike. No issues. Increased the clock. No issues. Increased again...

    What makes 1 card better than another?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I'm curious as to what makes one card, say a 980 Ti superior to the 980, besides the extra VRAM? I know the 980 Ti is faster and performs better than the 980, but what is different in the making of the card that causes it to be better?

    EVGA Backplate Model 100-BP-2981-B9

    I'm going crazy looking for one of these, I can't find it anywhere. The one store that has it is Newegg and it's been out of stock for months. I want it so badly for my Superclocked 980 and I just can't find any store or person that has one for sale. Any other backplate you can find in stock in...

    This build should be an absolute beast and handle any game at max graphics along with being super fast at Photoshop and Lightroom. The CPU is a 6 core monster paired with a liquid cooler that will overclock like a champ and tear through anything you throw at it. You mentioned silence is a plus...
