So far so good - much smoother experience than with the gigabyte, Asus definitely had a more refined product. All is well and prime is not failing at all with the new motherboard.
An expensive bit of trouble shooting this was one weird issue I guess I have to chalk it up to a flaky gigabyte...
ARGH!
So have an EVGA 1200 Supernova P2 - 10 year warranty and rock solid platform and cheap price were all drawing points. Getting into my mid-30s now so having an extra PSU around is not as much of a pain in my wallet as it may have been a decade ago.
So that's what I have now! My orig...
Can confirm the following:
- ram is 1.65v required and this is setting in BIOS
- changed to 1600mhz and crash in Prime95 still happened after only a few mins with exact same symptoms as before
Was hoping that would do it cause I'm looking at some amount of annoying work swapping PSU....
Ya probably wont be able to push this one much - feel my application job during install shoulda fit the bill - got a good quality one in there.
One day may even want to pursue the idea of taking off the spreader as many do with these CPUs to get at the thermal interface underneath.
But at...
Hey so booted up Aida 64 and did fresh Prime95 run and this was temp when computer shut off (no BSOD, just straight to OFF and come back, like hitting reset button and as per all other Prime95 crashes)
Temps:
CPU 72
°C CPU Package 80
°C CPU IA Cores 80
°C CPU GT Cores 50
°C CPU Core #1...
Looks well in range from what I see on other similar platforms. That said, stays hotter and for longer on OCCT without crashing so should I really be worrying that much about temp?
Cause temps are pretty good especially at stock. The OCCT tests push it to 70-80 range, Prime doesn't get a chance to heat it up past that point before crash starts.
Have a Noctua D-14 and its all in a well ventilated Silverstone TJ11
I am thinking a heat issue is unlikely unless i'm...
Yes it is F6!
I can try with one or the other GPU just unsure if I can do video from the CPU with the i4790k, i'm always discrete so never cared much if I could (like with my wife's i5 in our HTPC I know I can run video there)
Hey Anandtech! Looking for some expert fellow enthusiasts to give me a double check on my situation and confirm I am following a good methodology to solve a very strange crashing issue which to me, feels like a PSU issue.
Setup:
OS: Win 8.1 x64
CPU: i7 4790k running stock
Mobo: Gigabyte...
Ya it was a year long struggle before I jumped on it almost- was close on this, 800D, FT02 -> just wanted the one that would give me most options down the road and it just seemed this was most flexible - giving me great air cooling until I decided to do the water thing.
I thought to myself...
http://www.techreaction.net/2011/06/03/review-water-cooling-the-silverstone-temjin-series-tj11/4/#
Here is pic with the 4x140 - EDIT - well its 120, but there's room for x140 fans you can see there's still room...
There's enough room in the bottom compartment of a Silverstone TJ11, currently I have both hot swap bays out cause well, I have all my drives in a NAS anyway and only need an SSD and one HDD for a little more breathing room...
So its pretty much an empty compartment save the power supply...
HA ya I found myself seduced a bit by the compression fittings they definitely look cooler - but you can actually get decent looking clamps too...
Something to consider...
In terms of budgeting I think I will do this in phases:
- Get the best pump I can possibly get, potentially a pair...
Got my 240 on order... I was willing to pay the price but imminent bonus probably helped me swallow the markup...
I am not nervous at all whereas going for any other model would leave a nagging doubt.
Hey all!
So frequent reader, sometimes poster here..;)
After much deliberation settled on a TJ11 and have it setup with a wicked air-cooling setup, but part of my purchase decision was based on future plans of trying a watercooling loop in 2 or 3 years (have planned for CPU/mobo, GPU...
I am having tough time deciding now and I am in exact same profile as the OP: not really needing 240-256 - but kinda wanting it mostly for steam folder..;)
I suppose i could do ok with a 160... but I digress.
As I'm reading through all these reviews I kinda came to the C300 call myself...
Baking is cool - but also uncool.
I picked up a card 2nd hand that was baked. Never worked for me but worked for the seller. After some months of back and forth recovered my investment.
But ya, sure it was working for him before he sent it - but by the time the 4870x2 arrived on my end it...
19 days left on my "step up"
might pull the trigger with EVGA if something happens before then for my 580, otherwise, will wait to add a 2nd 580 some months down the road
MY palit 4870 had one of those... always left it on turbo, and I'm sure it's far less than 300W at full draw...
still, use it/don't use - it can and has been done.
I really need to upgrade soon. I've had an intensely modified Lian-li PC60 and its just not enough space - I have to admit that and learn to let go.
So I can kinda see the points people are making and this seems to be hitting the enthusiast community pretty poorly here and elsewhere: but am...
I dunno man I think it makes sense! I like the AA on at that res and the 580 is clearly leading with AA on at that res.
I was on AMD for many years, the 9800Pro was the successor to my Voodoo 5 5500 and this is first Nvidia card I'll ever own.
I got tired of waiting, had money set aside...
Hmm I think I will give that a shot Ben90!
So far, no errors since 11 oclock last night running continuously, no issues yet... starting to tire of this round of OCing a bit I think I will play around some other time and give that LinX a shot... also considering getting RAM but haven't been able...
OK so update: reformatted and it was a breeze.
Snappy new updated install, fresh image ready if I need it..;)
So I return to 3.4ghz/1600 9-9-9-24 and Prime goes for 11 hours no issues.
Pause it, start a video - pause the video for a phone call - and boom BSOD.
Ok - so my OC was causing a...
oh ya! Actually its 808 I'm pretty sure, I'll be able to double check in a sec.. testing @ 6x multiplier in memtest 86+ right now, almost done no issues.
Will repeat @ 8.5x multiplier.
And if I pass after that, I will consider pulling the trigger on a reformat to be honest I've needed to...
UPDATE: ok bumped RAM to 1.98 volts, CPU is at 1.3 in windows 1.31 or something like that in BIOS...
20 hours of Prime no problem... stopped the tests this morning and hit another BSOD - considering a reformat this week...
Is my intuition correct in assuming that with 20 hours of Prime...
Hey all!
please see latest post, can even skip to it really..;)
-------------
JUst looking for more experienced OCers to chime in with a "ya thats happened to me before".
System:
P5e3 Premium. x48
Q9550 @ 3.4 ghz (1.3 volts, 8.5 x 400 FSB)
4 gigs Patriot DDR3 @ 1600 9-9-9-24...
argh whats one more week....
i guess I'll wait... (dammit!)
could tweak the system a bit I guess over the weekend so its ready for whatever comes my way..;)
Ok I am sorely tempted to jump on a GTX 580 soon.. EVGAs finally back in stock on newegg.ca
now - here's my question, I guess without knowing performance yet we can't really know how much nvidia's pricing will change...
just thinking, am I holding out over a 20-40$ price difference?
I...
Yep it'll be another month of Sid Meier's Pirates and NBA Jam on my wii..;)
so we dont have anything more concrete than "mid-Nov" for Cayman?
Was hoping the NDA lift would result in a published schedule...:(
Paging Trip Hawkins!
As a proud 3DO owner I lived the dream - only to see it dashed.
It's a great idea but I just don't see it happening. Plus, the idea of a common platform is vaguely socialist isn't it?
Sounds kinda un-american to me..;)
I had two 4870s in that configuration for a long while.
I did have periodic crashes but nothing too bad. But overtime the top card just kept getting hotter and hotter, until it was idling at close to 90 degrees!
I took it out and tried to blast out as much dust as I could but it STILL was...
I have - of course - pre-ordered this game out of loyalty. But I won't be playing til I get a new graphics card - and no, not for the tesselation.
Mainly cause my card is idling at 90 degrees celsius right now, and makes weird noises - and I won't be getting anything new til we hear more...
I'm in the same boat. I had a chance to add a 2nd 4870 cheap a while back and while the price was great I'm now in a position where my top card is making crazy weird noises even when idling, and the temperatures are insane. I've taken it out and air blasted it as best I can but I really think...
