    Destiny Makes More Than $500 Million On First Day

    As a PC gamer I feel incredibly disheartened that not even ACTIVISION wants to cash in on the PC crowd. We want Destiny, we're willing to pay, but the PC version hasn't even been announced. What a shame.

    i7-4770k Prime95 Test runs the CPU too hot for confort, cant overclock at 4.2Ghz and 1.25V!

    Well I'm glad you reapplied thermal paste, now check to make sure the cooler is running properly. That's the only other thing I can think of that could be an issue. Thermal paste shouldn't affect how much voltage you need at higher clocks. Temps I would aim for would be 60 to 70ish C during...

    Help Is my cpu to hot

    Nope, 66 C is pretty decent for a stress test. IIRC max temp for that chip is 100 C I believe, so good to go.

    Frame Rate skips on a laptop that should be able to handle it, what am i doing wrong?

    If it's running ok for a couple minutes it's probably related to overheating. Check your temps (with something like hwmonitor) during gaming and if they're too high look into getting one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Laptop-Cooling-Pads/SubCategory/ID-319

    Overclocking AMD FX-4130

    I had one with similar settings to yours, your temps look great. 70C is the max temp for that chip, so anything under 60C is good.

    Is 72 degrees normal for a H100?

    Definitely something wrong, I have a 3570k at .9 gHz above stock speed air cooled and I max out in the low 60s C during Prime95 testing. You should be getting much cooler temps, especially liquid cooled at stock clock speeds.

    Bf4 is just a lag fest?

    Try tweaking your settings, fresh driver install, or make sure your resolution scale isn't set too high. What is your CPU/GPU usage while gaming?

    Hyper 212 Evo Overclocking Help

    I use the 212 evo to cool my i5 3570k, clocked to 4.3 with 55-60c during extended gaming. It'll keep your chip cool.

    i5 3570k oc temp

    Yup perfectly fine, mine also hits 71c at 4.3 ghz(under load). Anything under 90c during a stress test is a-ok. During gaming mine is usually about 50-60c.

    Need help with intel cpu and motherboard. $200 Budget

    I think with that budget you're probably going to be looking at about the same performance as you currently have. Maybe someone else will be able to give you a little more insight.
