    EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked based system build and monitor question

    isnt pascal highly debated when its coming out? ive heard that it could be as late as next year. yeah, ive also read that AMD is giving the parts away to monitor manufactures to reduce the cost of freesync and in return have more people buy AMD. sounds genius to me. outside of the gfx...

    $1k build with monitor

    Looks good, but i quoted the above parts i think you can save some cash from. 1. Case for 49.99 is pretty solid but can get a suitable case for ~20 bucks cheaper. 2. Does he really need 1 TB? can get 500gigs for half the price. 3. Hanns-spree (or hans-g) has a 180p 25'' monitor for 150 4...

    i went into bios and there is a setting thats like ddr2 voltage boost and i put it at +.4 and it kicked the ram up from 1.890 to 1.995. i ran the tests and they still crashed either from the corrupted os or the unstable ram. what could be causing the ram to receive so little of the .4...

    My new builds been a nightmare ; (

    thanks man. but am i reading this right? 1.9v is over clocked compared to 2.2v? Now if i increase the ram to 2.2v, will i have to reinstall windows to test the ram? as someone said earlier if you install the os with bad ram the os is going to be corrupted.
