    Strange BSOD

    Currently running my memory overclocked to 9-9-9-24-1T at 1600 MHz and CPU at stock with no problems, so I'm pretty sure its not the memory.

    Strange BSOD

    Thats the problem I have though, I ran Prime95 Blend and Small FTT. I ran Blend for 20 Hours, Small FTT for 8 Hours, and just recently reclocked using Offset settings and ran Blend again for 8 Hours... No issues what so ever. My Voltage Monitor says at Max CPU Stress I run between v1.28 and...

    Strange BSOD

    Is it possible that my CPU is unstable at lower clocks, since my voltage scales and this usually happens when using programs that use very little of my CPU? If so should I just put Phase Control on Extreme and use Manual Voltage to overclock so it doesn't downclock? And if I do that, would it...

    Strange BSOD

    My cooling is a Noctua NH-D14, don't know a better one out their other than Water Cooling. My Temps are stable enough when running Prime95, otherwise I would have done 4.8. I'd prefer not to go back to Stock Clocks, otherwise my i7-2600K would have been for nothing. I bought it to overclock...

    Strange BSOD

    Alright Guys, I have this strange problem that I can't fix. I've tried everything I know of and still no solutions and suggestions from others of the community with no results. I've overclocked my i7-2600K to 4.6 GHz using Offset Voltage. I also overclocked my Memory to 1600 MHz and 9-9-9-24-1T...

    Bugcheck BSOD

    Well, I Reinstalled the game several times, and it didn't help. I reinstalled my Graphic Drivers, even upgrading to beta and when that didn't work I went back down to the original version. I ran Prime95 Blend once more with no problems, I ran Prime95 Small FTT for 8 hours with no problems, I...

    Bugcheck BSOD

    I'm currently running Memtest 86+, how many passes should I go through before I know its not a memory stability issue? I could really use some help here, this is starting to drive me crazy, a new system with random BSODs is really really frustrating.

    Bugcheck BSOD

    I tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling... It didn't help. Could it be because my memory is set to 1T? Should I put it at 2T? or would Prime95 Blend Test found an issue before hand?

    Bugcheck BSOD

    Wouldn't Prime95 be the first to show me if it was an overclocking issue? As far as I know I only get this error when I play League of Legends, a low-end game with graphics comparable to Warcraft III. Could it be a bad install? I'll downclock it if that was the only solution, but it kind of...

    Bugcheck BSOD

    Hmm, I'm not sure. When I overclocked I only overclocked to the default speeds of the Memory, since I'm running P67. G-Skill Ripjaws X Default speed is 1600 with 9-9-9-24 at v1.5, which is what I put it at. Although I was confused about Command Rate so I put it at 1T. I also just ran Windows...

    ASUS Maximus IV eSATA doesn't work?

    It should be, at least that's what the BIOs says. Also, I think Maximus IV's default mode is AHCI.

    Best way to check SSD Speeds?

    Well I followed Zap's suggestions from his Sticky. It was impossible for me to measure my Boot times because my other computer, a laptop is so slow and only runs Vista 32-Bit, that comparing it with a new computer running Windows 7 64-Bit is like comparing Apples and Oranges. I decided to one...

    Best way to check SSD Speeds?

    What is the best way to test your SSD Speed? Does this lower you're SSD's life/speed if you do it? I only really want to do it once, since I heard benchmarks can cause harm an SSD. I just got a Intel 510 120 GB, and I want to make sure I didn't get a bad one. My Windows Experience Score is 7.8...

    CPU Temps too High?

    Should I be using a spread method, or should I use a line method/pea method and let the pressure of mounting the Heatsink spread the Thermal Compound?

    CPU Temps too High?

    After constant overclock and tweaking, I think I find my sweet spot, but I'm concerned about Temps. I went up to 4.7GHz on my i7-2600K and after an hour of Prime95 on Blend I hit 86c, so I stopped it and downclocked.er After some more trial and error, I found the only clock that doesn't scare...

    CPU Temps too High?

    Hey everyone, I'm currently looking at my ROG Sensor on the AI Suite, it says that my CPU is at 37c, CPU Socket 41c while the motherboard is 36c. I only have firefox with this one tab open, is this too high? Could I have a faulty Heatsink? I'm running a Hyper 212+ over Arctic MX-4 with a i7-2600k.

    Does reformatting hurt an SSD?

    So I'm just being paranoid? I'm kind of disappointed because I thought an SSD would be a huge change over my 6 year old Raptor. Did I just get a bad one? or are people over hyping SSDs?

    Does reformatting hurt an SSD?

    I've been hearing a lot of things about how SSDs are more sensitive and have a lower life, that you can only delete and write so much data before it slows down. I got my first SSD with a new computer and I had some issues installing Windows 7, I had to install Vista, then do a clean install of...
