I have an answer/question. I was able to OC my 8320 to 4.2 on the ASRock 970 Fatal1ty. In games like The Witcher 3 it runs fine. BUT, Prime95 showed throttling at that overclock due to high CPUTIN temps, which I believe is due to the MOSFET/VRM that others have noticed. My question part is...

Thanks SR-71! kanewolf, I just checked out raspberry PI and it is definitely scratch-able, thanks for the tip.

Hi everyone, I finished building my first pc about six months ago, and really enjoyed it. So much so, that I want to do it again! But since I don't have a money tree, I though I could scratch this itch by adding some bells and whistles onto my rig. Enter PCI slots. x1, x4, x8, M.2...

I have a G1 gaming 970 What about +1300 memory OC (8310MHz in OC Guru II)? I've been benchmarking every 50-100MHz in Furmark and Valley without any issue. Temps stay below 70C and I haven't touched voltage. I did find my max core clock was +150 (1328 Base / 1479 Boost) but I am keeping that at...

I looked at a couple of guides and decided to start modestly and just increase the multiplier from 17.5 to 20.0 (4.0ghz). I ran Prime95 for about 20 minutes w/o issue. I know some say run it for x amount of hours but I went with this guide for the most part...

From what I've read, there seems to be little benefit from overclocking your cpu in gaming, but I thought I'd ask the community specifically. I'm able to get consistent +60 FPS on games like The Witcher 3, but I am noticing micro-stuttering and pop-ins that limit smooth gameplay and immersion...

I had witcher 3 bundled with the EVGA SSC 960 and it was definitely playable at 1080p on medium settings. But I too craved more power so I upgraded to the 970 before the 30 day warranty ran out. It's not 60FPS on Ultra, but using the NVIDIA optimization settings gives me 40-60FPS consistently...

Thanks!

First post from a long time reader, so thank you to everyone in the community for all the info! I have an ASUS 248QE monitor, for which I currently use a DVI-D cable. I just assumed G-Sync would work automatically, but from various posts I've read I am a little confused. Does G-Sync only work...
