    just delidded my cpu and i scraped off most of the the glue but i want to get rid off all the left over glue on the cpu die. Should i just keep using lsoprophyl alcohol, it dosent seem to be getting me any where atm. Will the arctic clean stuff dissolve it?

    Will going above 1.4v on a delided i7 7700k and Kraken x62 be too dangerous?

    i lost the silicone lottery and and i want to hit the 5ghz on my 7700k i think i should be able to achieve it at 1.4 to 1.435 im just a bit iffy about going above that 1.4 mark. my cpu is delidded with thermal grizzly conductonaut. i uses thermal grizzly kryonaut in between the ihs and aio...

    Can re-pasting GPU thermal paste with liquid metal increase overclocking potential?

    will changing the paste to a better quality/liquid metal possible let me get a bit more on the core clock? or will it just reduce temps?

    Should i run my AIO cooler pump speed at 100%, will high rpms cause heat rather than cooling?

    i have a kraken x62 and running the pump at 100% is pretty much unaudible when my case is shut and i have headphones on. Is it true that running the pump at high rpm can actually increase liquid temp rather than cool it? In cam software the kraken can go from 60% to 100% silent mode starts at...

    How can i test for memory error correction on my Pascal Gpu (1080ti)

    so memory overclocking seems to be weird when it comes to certin pascal Gpu's, the error correction kicks in at certin frequencies. See here: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/6u2lao/1080ti_memory_overclocking/ http://i.imgur.com/mteJi6p.png I though i solved my issue here but that...

    How are certain adjustments on the memory clock giving me mixed results performance?

    gpu: asus strix 1080ti (voltage, power, temp limit max. +100 core) software: Msi after burner. benchmark: Heaven (windowed) +100mhz isn't very aggressive, but it was giving me worse performance and scores when i ran the benchmark. so i found a spot in that was giving me 132 fps +0 132...
