Anecdotally this exact debate has been happening my entire gaming career :) I remember people arguing about buying a 16mb or 32mb TNT2. It's certainly important but there are so many other factors at play. How fast is the memory? How efficient/big is the cache? The new Radeon cards are rumoured...

I've found a workaround solution. I'm still not sure about thermal throttling as the problem can occur from a cold boot and it either happens or it doesn't; starts slow and stays there or starts fast and stays there. If it boots fast, you can have the comp running for days without issue. What...

Some more info here. Screenshots showing the difference in performance. When it boots fast it stays fast until a restart/shutdown; same idea for when it's slow.

It's not wedged, simply in the slot next to it. The top corner of the adapter is slightly impeding the bottom corner of the inner GPU fan, but with maybe half a centimetre of space. It's really quite minimal. Case is a Corsair Air 240 with wraparound airflow. Problem occurs upon boot and the...

I should give full specs. Here: Windows 10 Home 4770k overclocked to 4.4/4.4/4.2/4.2 EVGA Geforce 2080 Black Edition Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 32gb HyperX 1866mhz 2TB Adata S11 Gammix Pro (C:) x2 Kingston HyperX 240gb SSD (SATA3) in RAID0 (D:/ nowadays) Seagate 1TB SATA3 HDD (E:/)

TLDR: NVME drive plugged into PCIe using adapter performs consistently at about 1400mbps in the gen2 slot. Hits 2900mbps in the gen3 slot, but one in every 5 boots or so the speed is capped at about 25mbps. A reboot typically resolves the issue. Have formatted, reset BIOS, fiddled with every...

Heres the amps on the okia... +3.3v = 32A +5.0v = 50A +12.0v = 24A -12 = 1.0A -5 = 0.5A +5SB = 2.0A That seems like it would be enough?

Yes, I believe its a lock issue as well, since I've tried 3 different PSU's all to no avail. The board does indeed have locks though, and I've tried 3 different BIOS'. High Ball; I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at? Thanks for the help guys

yes...no effect.

I'm having an odd issue on this system: Sempron 2800 (1.6, 256k) 1gb ddr400 MSI K8N Neo Platinum Edition (Socket 754, nforce 3 250gb) XFX Geforce 6800 128mb AGP Okia 600 watt PSU 80gb Seagate SATA drive XP Pro Anyways, when I overclock to about 270mhz on the HT generator, I get...

Okay, I'll try that. I dont think a PSU problem can cause blue screens...I unplugged a bunch of my devices and im still having the problem.

I think I've figured it out...I think my power supply isnt able to handle the extra load I've put on it recently, including adding 2 more case fans, upgrading my mobo and starting this overclock. It's a cheap 350 watter and I think I need to invest in something a little more decent.

Im overclocking my sempron 2800+ on an MSI K8N Neo Platinum (nforce 3 250gb). When i get to around the 260-270 range on the HT frequency (or fsb if you wanna call it that) I get a blue screen loading windows. I am using a sata drive, but the port im using (#3 and #4) has an independent clock...

Even on a fresh install, without rivatuner...Still fails
