I checked the temperature out in the hall way and it's 77 F(25C). So it's about that or a bit warmer in my room.

Hello! I recently completed my semi custom water cooling loop the other day and decided to overclock my PNY GTX 670. The settings are follows: GPU clock: 1215 at load (+175 offset) Mem clock: 3206 at load(+200 offset) Voltage: 1.175 V I get those while in game playing Far Cry 3. The...

Alright, so here is my problem. The volume sliders on my volume mixer are untied which means they change volume very sporadically. Also what happens is that when I set the volume to zero, either my headset, keyboard or volume slider, it still plays sound. The only way to solve this is to lower...

Just gonna give my 2 cents here, you can overclock a little bit probably up to 4ghz, by using the multiplier. I dunno if it sits at 33 on your but just up it enough to reach 4ghz and then stress test. If it crashes up the voltage, all while checking temps. Trial and error my friend, trial and error.

Yep, that application worked. All of my cores at running at 3.8ghz. Although it reads my temps a bit hotter. Max temps are now 54-55C. Ohwell, I have to reseat the water block and use new TIM soon anyway.

Welp, I got it 3.798 GHZ(thats what it says on CPUz) and it stays at 52C max while running Prime95, It's running on a WC loop. I disabled C1E and realized I can't boost the turbo frequency if I dont have EIST enabled. So I left EIST on. Also, is there anyway to tell how high the clock is on each...

Oh that's where I was going wrong. I kept trying to up the clock and then the ratio but it would end up in a boot cycle and I would have to hold the pwoer button for it to boot properly. Next I'll have to try that. I'll disable the C1E and EIST so it doesn't clock down.

You're probably right. Im not super familiar with the new way of OC'ing with these SB' chips. Do I increase the clock or just the ratio? I assume the clock as I heard the ratio is blocked.

I plan to be using folding@home which is why i wanted the OC'ing potential. And i am glad I dont have to use a new motherboard. I've tried OC'ing my 2500 but so far it doesn't seem to be working at all. i just wanted to know if it would be a worth the money upgrade if I plan to OC. Thanks.

I plan on upgraded my CPU from my 2500(non-K) to a new and faster CPU. I was thinking about the 3570K but I was wondering if I have to change my motherboard to the new Z77 chipset as I have the Z68. I know they are the same socket, but are there any worthwhile advantages to getting a Z77...

My ambient is about 77F. I have the standerd radiator that came with the kit, it's a thin one, not the thicker one. i have 1/2 inch tubing as well. My Rad only has fans on the top. As long as I know it's nothing bad, just weird that the temps are not the 24-30C they used to be. (One core was 30C...

I am comparing the temps to my watercooling setup when I first got it. I had around 30 Idle at max. But the load is around the same. I think the reason why the idle is higher is due to the fact it's summer and can get a lot hotter inside thn it usually does. My ambient is around 77F now...

My 2500 is running at 36-37 C on idle in windows 7. Well, close to idle. It goes around 5-15% and I have around 85 processes. I don't know if that matters really, but I am wondering why it is this high. Did I seat the water block wrong? I have taken it off a few times and reapplied TIM each...

Yeah, it is funny. :D Good thing I solved it, I would never sleep.

Alright guys... Feel free to laugh at me for my ignorance... I think what the problem was... On my microsoft Sidewinder X4, there is this macro record button. I think what happened was that I had the macro button on and it recorded my keys and when I pressed play or something or whatever other...
