*Note - this question is duplicated on the JonnyGuru forum, I just realized after I posted there that this community is probably a lot bigger and I might have a better chance of a solution. I built a PC about a month ago (see it in excruciating detail here). The key components are: Fractal...

I do use AMDMSRTweaker. The way I do it is the method described in this guide: http://www.overclock.net/t/1499562/undervolting-editing-p-states-for-piledriver-using-amd-mrstweaker-mini-guide which is about undervolting, but works pretty much the same way for overclocking. Sometimes I have found...

The way it was acting, it looked to me like an APM issue or some other throttling mechanism wasn't actually disabled. So, after yet more searching, I found this thread: http://forums.tweaktown.com/asrock/46817-asrock-990fx-extreme3-fx-8120-bios-default-cpu-throttling-not-apm.html This is my...

CPU-Z shows the voltage drop when the frequency doe, but I have a hard time beliving it's the PSU. I have an EVGA 750 G2, and it's half loaded max. So maybe it's the CPU binning, but what else can I try before I give up? At the very least I should be able to run stable at the turbo frequency...

My 8320 is installed on an ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer, with Phanteks PH-TC14PE cooler. It's my first overclock, but I've done my reading. In BIOS, I've disabled APM, C1E, C6, Cool 'n' Quiet, AMD Turbo Core, etc., but when I go to stress test the system with Prime95, I see throttling with the...

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I am planning a build with an FX-8320 CPU and ASRock 990FX Killer motherboard. Now the decision is on memory. I am shopping for a 2 DIMM kit for the dual-channel advantage, but now I need to know if Vishera/990FX supports dual-rank memory, and at what speed? I want either overclockable...

Do take a look at those HP Pavilions though, they might be pretty close, and the Newegg tool missed them somehow.

For gaming 8 gb should be enough, but you can check your usage with the task manager. Right click the bar at the bottom of the screen in Windows, >Start Task Manager >Performance tab Look at the memory usage. You should be able to add just one stick of additional memory without trouble, but...

Slots do not need the same memory size to work. Generally, you want to match timings, but I believe adding the 1333 will work, but it will slow down the 1600 to also run at 1333. The ultimate answer to 1. is to try it and see if the motherboard/OS will accept the additional memory. 2. If the...
