I have given up at the moment, as trying to set vcore on 1.31 and even 4.7 gives a crash. Guess its stock life for me from this point on.

This is interesting... Ill give it a try with auto settings just by setting multiplier(I tried 4.5 on all cores and it crashed, will try 4.4). Dont really want to put voltage on 4.4 with manual....

Im applying OC on all cores at the same time.

So you can get into BIOS and it doesnt crash? But it crashes when you install driver... I would probably try to reset BIOS to defaults and try again. Driver crashing the onboard chip can happen if forced to work in resolution its not supporting, however it should not freeze completely. Can you...

EVGA Alimentation ATX W1-600W <- This is the PSU I have. Not keen on trying 4.0Ghz without knowing what am I doing wrong, or what settings I should use. To be fair, 4.8Ghz is only 200mhz above this CPUs boost clock, so it it cannot handle 200mhz, there must be either user error(me, and I dont...

To be fair, CPU fan error might indicate that you have plugged cpu fan on a different header on your board, or its not connected properly. Can you verify if your cpu fan actually spins when you try to boot up? Also, what did you mean- ''cleaning the mobo properly'' and why you need to reinstall...

So I got this board and cpu and life is good in general, untill I tried to take a look at OC world. I must be the most unlucky person on planet earth, because whatever OC I apply, Im getting crashes and bluescreens. Dont get me wrong, i am not shooting for the stars with expectations, but even...

So first off. Im playing on TV, so my refresh rate is locked on 50hz. Resolution is 1080p (1920x1080) . Playing without VSync tears screen up more than DoomGuy. Temperatures while playing for an hour on cpu is 52c and gpu on 60c, so im definitely not throttling. Reducing eye candy gave a...

O.k, I did not expect this many answers, but its greatly appreciated. I have tried to just disable HT and try my games , there was no noticeable drop/rise in FPS , andthat left me confused. Is the game issue or my pc in general. Im not hunting FPS, but sometimes FPS actually drops to 12fps and...

My current cooler is Evo212 and I cant really complain. I also have open case setup, so temps are not high (55-60c while on full load. In regards previous comment- Yes, maybe upgrading CPU is not the smartest thing, but I really dont want to switch out everything, considering how I only play...

I am considering an option to OC , however im literally looking for a bit more speed out of CPU. Im playing CPU intensive games (Wildlands, Breakpoint, e.t.c), so when I compare the performance Im getting out of my G1 980, im very unhappy. Any game that is not CPU intesive (like world of...

i7 2600 upgrade path. Hard choice between i5-3570k and i7 3770k for MB: z77mx-d3h+ gtx980... Mainly used for gaming. Main idea is to not having the need to switch out MB and RAM.

First of all I've always been intel fanboy so to say. But I got this amd build for bargain price. Now the 83xx series is a no go, as the board i have is popular of going up in smoke.... I know that amd is a cheaper option vs intel, but lets face it- you dont have to overclock like crazy,jus to...

Ugrade path for AMD user? I've got fx4100, 8gb ram, 970a-g43, and hd6950. I've been trying to figure out a decent upgrade (cpu/gpu). Will fx8300 and 970 will be good enough? I keep hearing that both fx6300/fx8300 bottleneck the 970, but I keep finding videos on youtube, where pretty much every...
