    Good GTX 670 OC'D watercooling temps?

    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.

    Good GTX 670 OC'D watercooling temps?

    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...

    Windows 7 volume sliders un-tied?

    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...

    Snapptastic Here Again

    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.

    Planning to upgrade my CPU, which should I get?

    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.

    Planning to upgrade my CPU, which should I get?

    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...

    Planning to upgrade my CPU, which should I get?

    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.

    Planning to upgrade my CPU, which should I get?

    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.

    Planning to upgrade my CPU, which should I get?

    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.

    Planning to upgrade my CPU, which should I get?

    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...

    Intel 2500 water-cooled idle temps too high?

    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...

    Intel 2500 water-cooled idle temps too high?

    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...

    Intel 2500 water-cooled idle temps too high?

    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...

    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...

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    Okay, I got it up 9.1K PPD on my CPU and 17.4K on my GTX 570. This is a total of 27K PPD. Seems a bit better too. Thanks a lot!

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    Alright. I did configonly and set Advmethods to be on and set -smp 4 to be the core usage. Now, to get a bonus do I just fold 10 workunits and then I will get a bonus?

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    Oh, quick thing. Should I enable or disable advmethods? And do I put the -smp 3 in the extra parameters place in the config?

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    Yeah, I'm gonna drop the 450 when I get out of class. Hopefully get the 2500 to equal out the lost points from the 450. And yeah, as much as I would love a nice 3770... I'm not allowed to upgrade for a bit :D Anyway, thanks again!

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    Good idea, thanks a lot for this help. I was thinking about putting the 450 in a dedicated box anyway. I'll just have to experiment with the settings a bit and I'll get to folding! :D

    Ahright, that's what was. I think it was with Microsoft Office. But anyway, thanks for the help. At least combo fix didn't show that key loggers or anything else was running.

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    I get full 100% usage. Probably in the high 90's. Yet I only get 7K PPD for my I5.

    Folding@Home Points-Per-Day seem in the correct range?

    I'm not gonna lie, I'm lucky I finished the console variant of this with the two GPU's and the CPU. All i did was put the SMP header in the place where it needed to go in the setup. Just plain SMP. What should I change in there? Should I put in there smp -3 instead of just smp?

    I have the report log, and I will will attach it here. Also, now that I have Malwarebytes installed and activley warning me, it told me that KMSEmulator is trying to start. Sounds like something I should worry about? http://pastebin.com/8UEgaJkJ

    Nothing suspicious was in the startup tab, but in the services there is "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager", "Remote access Connection Manager", "Remote Registry". I also found a remote desktop configuration. A remote desktop services is also in there. But that is it. Nothing else was found...

    Okay, this is ver weird, and sorry if its in the wrong forum. Anyway, I went to Youtube to get a link for my friend on facebook. I got to the video and I clicked on the video. It started playing and kept going to beginning and switching around. Sounds like bad buffering or just a normal glitch...

    XSPC Rasa 750 RS360, Intel 2500 temps normal for this kit?

    Yeah, I can agree with it not being as chilly. Mostly because my 570 runs super hot with Folding@Home (90C). Thanks for the input, really appreciate it!

    XSPC Rasa 750 RS360, Intel 2500 temps normal for this kit?

    Also, do you think I could add a GTX 570 onto this loop? I have the 3x120 Rad version too. If not, I'll just add another 120 after the CPU block.

    XSPC Rasa 750 RS360, Intel 2500 temps normal for this kit?

    Yeah, the one core has always been like that. Even with the air cooler. Dunno why though. But thanks for the confirmation about this, just wanna make sure I didn't do something wrong. :D I also did use AS5... :3

    Are these good for a first WC loop?

    Prob with front USB

    I have the same problem with my NZXT Beta Evo. I think it's just a problem with the wiring in the front panel. On mine it's a little bent into the circuit board in the front panel. It just seems like a common problem, sadly.

    Ubuntu formatted hard drive, is it possible to get old files back?

    I do game but I like how linux looks. So I bet the VM will help me adjust to linux before I decide to do a permanent dual boot. Just got Windows installed so I give i'll give a Vm a go, Tommarow xD. Homework and messing with windows doesn't seem fun right now. Lol.

    Ubuntu formatted hard drive, is it possible to get old files back?

    That actually does sound pretty good. Ill have to reformat my hard drive with windows and get the VmWare or Virtual box. So, It's basically a program running inside your main OS? That is pretty cool. :biggrin:

    Ubuntu formatted hard drive, is it possible to get old files back?

    I think I will just stay o Lnux for a while. It seems pretty nice. Not to go too offtopic, But what is a VM again? Where would I find it?
