    2nd 1080 hits voltage limit at heavy load

    I am having the same issues, both of mine are EVGA GTX 1080 FTW's, SLI with HB bridge. I am using a corsair ax1200i, but not sure why I'm hitting the voltage limit on my main GPU. When I run Heaven or Firestrike, the main GPU is constantly on 1 voltage limit. I normally run 100% on core voltage...

    Build Questions for PSU

    @Rabmac Thanks for the help, I will be doing some OC on all components. I have an X99 platform that I use for work, and I'm not allowed to play around with the settings etc. This machine will be my first "toy" to play around with all the OC settings and increase voltages. I do plan on adding a...

    Build Questions for PSU

    Ok I wasn't sure if that was the case, I've been trying to read up on it. A lot of places, say a lot of different things. I'll check those out, thanks. Hopefully it all goes well, I plan on adding a third screen soon, but that won't be an issue. What would make someone need a 800+ PSU? What is...

    Build Questions for PSU

    I'm in the process of building a PC, this is my first build. I'll be using this PC in work/gaming. I'm wondering if I should go with the Corsair AX860i or the EVGA 850 T2? Both are around the same price, but I'm not sure how much I'll use the Corsair Link. I know it's a good option for...

    Fan Splitter ?

    I'm looking to run a push/pull config on my EK predator 360 radiator. I'm looking at using the Corsair ML 120 Pro LED on both sides of the radiator in the front. The fan ext hub for Asus only has 3 fan headers on the hub. Would I be able to connect both adjacent fans to the hub with a splitter...

    1st Build, custom cable information.

    I'm looking to get some custom cables, and this is my first time building a PC. I've come across a lot of cable modding sites. I'm wondering what cables I'll need. I've been looking at cable mods, but welcome all info. My question? What cables will I need? I don't want to just buy every cable...

    Build Help, is this system compatible? First time build

    Can I ask why they memory is faster? I was told that you wanted to fill all Dims on the motherboard if possible. Just curious for any input. Is the dominator platform that slow? I was also wondering if the 3200 series would fit well with either of the motherboards mentioned. Thanks

    Build Help, is this system compatible? First time build

    I'm looking at the 5TB just for the space, plan on adding a big SSD later. 5TB would just be for media/pics/misc. I'm also wanting to keep the corsair memory just for aesthetics. Kind of same with Corsair power supply, but I could go a little cheaper with that. I also plan on upgrading and...

    http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Smiddy35/saved/NZ9qqs Looking for tips, and any criticism. This is my first build, and I'm confused about going with 3200 or 3000 series ram. Not sure the Mootherboard will recognize the set I have. I've tried looking at the QVL, but have heard that's not always...
