I am in the market to upgrade my cpu and am torn between AMD and Intel seeing as how AMD has beefed up their chips. My current build is as follows: I5 4690k @ 4.6ghz H100i liquid cooler 16gb ram Gtx 1070 500gb SSD 1tb HDD I play at 1440p and as of late, i feel like my cpu is starting to give...

Depending on pricing, looks like the 10 series is pretty significant and to avoid evga for overclocking. Also to look for dual 8pins. Thank you all for your input. Is there a better time of year to purchase an nvidia card?

I'm looking at upgrading my gtx 970 to a 1070 or 1080. After researching, it seems like the evga 970s weren't stellar for overclocking and getting one of the new cards would be better than SLI 970. So I don't end up getting another card that can't be overclocked as well compared to others, I was...

I bumped mine up and it looks like I may need to reapply thermal paste which may be a very difficult task to do haha At that speed and voltage, cores 1 and 3 ran around 74-77c, core 2 ran around 80, and core 4 was between 68-71.

What does bclk stand for?

What might you recommend for setting on the OC? I'm trying to get it so my CPU isn't bottlenecking my GPU in games like Arma 3 and Star Citizen

I was afraid of that. The lights dont light up, but I thought that that was due to drivers.

When I first got my board, plugging in the ethernet cable was a huge deal because my computer would freeze completely and I'd have to hard reset it. Well, a couple of weeks ago, my dad talked me into getting the TP-Link transfer set thing that plugs into the outlet and using the electric cables...

Alright, thanks :)

I currently run a Radeon 7770GHz edition and an AMD Athlon ii x4 640 CPU in my computer. Today, I decided to go ahead and pick up the i5 4670k processor with MSI GD65 z87 mobo. I was wondering if this was a good upgrade for now. I also purchased a Hyper 212 evo aftermarket cooler to overclock...
