I could maybe stretch it to 1,000 USD. I will need I been out of it so long I dunno which CPU and MOBO to grab, I could probably piece the rest of it together myself. Idk whats the best bang for the buck. Will need a MS Windows 10 license for 100 Need everything, except monitor mouse...

Didnt mean to reply here? wierd.

Thanks for the input all, I forgot to mention im on a hyper 212+ cooler. I think im going to push this 2500k hard for now and maybe push the gpu too. and try to make it till fall for a big(ger) upgrade. Thanks =) edit ive been thinking about getting one of the AIO watercooler units from...

I havnt been following anything cpu related for a while. I have a 2500k rig that has served me pretty well. 2500k, mild o/c, cheap-o slow ram, samsung evo 250gb. asrock extreme 3 Mobo. gtx 760 2gb video card. My upgrade budget is about 800-1200. just depends on where I wanna splurge...

As the title states a i2500k with a 212+ and a asrock z68 ex3 gen3. It has a 0 overclock right now. I would like to see a very stable/safe 4.0-4.2 and I will openly admit i am a overclock newbie. I am basically hoping someone out there has used or is using the same board and can...

i recently purchased a n66u and its absolutely worth it. you can find them refurbished on ebay from newegg for about 130

Call newegg and explain they forgot to send you a free motherboard with that free chip

Im pretty conservative I upgrade very rarely so long term stability is also a concern. But I will jump up to a 40x multi for the next encode and see how im looking, thanks for the input guys.

I think I found my answer reading some threads, anything under 1.3 seems to be worry-free as long as temps in check. Mod's can close this if you want.

I have an i5 2500k on a asrock extreme 3 gen 3 with a hyper 212+ I went into the bios and changed the multi from 33 to 38 I just started re-encoding a hd movie and my volts in cpuz are bouncing from 1.264 to 1.272 to 1.280 1.280 seems awful high to me? Its jumping between all...

no, didnt raise the turbo

raised the ratio, i was playing with some settings and it turned off during a test, then failed to boot, cleared the cmos and here i am im gonna give it a rest for now i wanna enjoy it before i fry it lol came from an e8400

so during intel burn test it goes up to 4ghz then drops down to like 3.3 3.6 and bounces around 3.3 3.6 4.0 back n forth under full load? i set voltage to offset?

the driver cd is pretty easy to navigate, im thinking im just gonna copy all the drivers to a flash drive and stick the flash drive in the case

still at work, were deploying windows 7 to 60 machines tonight and not all the aps were dropping are testing, lots of OT =)
