    i7 6700K, MSI Z170A Gaming pro carbon MB, can't OC

    sorry, i should clarify, in this case i am using the multiplyer, i tried the ram just as a trouble shooting measure (before setting it back, again for trouble shooting, only want to change one thing at a time). I will give MSI a call today and see if they offer some insight, but so far my...

    1440P gaming PC (BF4 and future titles)

    Thank you for your reply RCFord I do have a few questions. Firstly in regards to the GPU, I know that the GTX 980 Ti is a very good graphics card, however, would i be able to get similar or better performance by running two GTX970's? as two 970's are still cheaper then a single 980 Ti, and if...
