It doesn't matter which slot you'll use since the cards you're plugging are x1. They'll only use one lane/card even if plugged into x16 slot. I'd plug them as far from each others as possible for the best cooling.

Yeah, receiver is just what I meant, thanks. But is it possible to plug those theater set speakers, especially the subwoofer to it?

Hey! I have a sony home theater system with 5 speakers and a passive subwoofer. I'm satisfied with the sound but the amplifier does not have the connections I'd need to hook up other devices than my tv (only scart). Is it possible to use those speakers with an aftermarket amplifier receiver...

Oh wow a bit paranoid guy, sorry, had to be said... With every PSU there is a risk it will blow up and fry other components too. Seasonic powersupplies are the best you can get. XFX is basically seasonic too but a lower price but if you can't get your hands on a XFX, go with the seasonic one...

Yup, W10 still needs some more filing ;) I've had no problems with Geforce experience on windows 8.1 nor 10, maybe they've updated it a couple of times after you've used it last time :P

Check your bios. It sounds like the motherboard has made some settings wrong for the cpu and that's why it's freezing. I've been overclocking my FX-4350 and I got freezes with too low Vcore voltage. I kept bumbing it up until my system stayed stable under worst case scenario, furmark and prime95...

If the game is not performing poorly, then it's actually good it uses a lot of cpu. It tells the game is well optimized and can use all the juice available. If you put Vsync on, the cpu usage should drop a lot. Vsync limits fps to tje refresh rate of the display, typically 60Hz / fps. When it's...

Nice to hear you solved the problem, I am using windows 10 as well and wondering how to stop it updating drivers. Geforce experience keeps them up to date tho so I don't often even see W10 wanting to update graphics drivers :)

I would double check if the card is properly installed and getting enough power from the psu. Also make sure you have latest drivers and vBIOS for your gpu. What psu do you have?

You've caused your damage by overclocking. I don't think you'll get RMA. And that voltge is way too high. You should stay atleast under 1.5 volts. I prefer staying under 1.45... Chips are individuals. While other same model can handle 1.8 volts, other can be damaged at 1.6. or so on.

How much did you raise your voltage? Did you frie your mobo or cpu or even psu?

In voltage a little bit is like 0.01 volts. Safe temp with fx chips under stress tests like prime is 70*C and gaming 62*C I oc'd my fx-4350 a bit and I got 5-10 FPS boost in different games. Base clock of your CPU? Use google ;)

Well I can't see why not. There should be enough power for overclocking. You didn't mention your mobo. Can it deliver enough power to the cpu? Still I would look for a well known bran psu for such big oc.

Yes I know but the wattage is enough too. It could maybe run even three cards :)
