    Okay thank you for the information.

    GIGABYTE GA-Z77M-D3H doesn't have CPU voltage options?

    My voltage jumps to 1.308 V at 4 GHz full load. Looks like I'll RMA this board. BTW, what board do I need minimum to be able to adjust CPU voltages?

    GIGABYTE GA-Z77M-D3H doesn't have CPU voltage options?

    I have a Core i5 2500K that I want to overclock to 4.8 GHz and get the lowest temperatures and voltages possible in doing so. Unfortunately, my board does not have the option to change any CPU-related voltages in the Advanced Voltage Settings of the M.I.T. The only option available is to change...

    Hyper 212 enough for 4.8 GHz on Core i5-2500K

    My temps soar into the high 80s/low 90s during a stress test in Prime95 at 3.6 GHz. At 3.3 GHz, I get within the high 60s on a stress test. What I want is 4.8 GHz in the mid 60s during a stress test.

    Hyper 212 enough for 4.8 GHz on Core i5-2500K

    Hi guys I just bought a Core i5-2500K today. I overclocked it to 3.6 GHz with the stock cooler and after seeing the temps soar into the 80s on load, I am now afraid to even overclock it until I get a good aftermarket cooler. I want to hit 4.8 GHz stable on all four cores with temperatures in the...

    Vega's Heavyweight display and computer; edition 2012

    To get rid of any aliasing artifacts possible. 1080p on my CRT does some justice as there are little aliasing artifacts to be seen, but using four times the resolution would probably get rid of them all. But that would look way too tiny on my monitor. But it would downright murder my current...

    Vega's Heavyweight display and computer; edition 2012

    Damn that is one amazing setup. I found a guy selling a FW900 just 15 miles from my house for $95. I'm tempted to pick it up, but I'm good with my Philips CRT which weighs about half as much as the FW900 (and it was painful enough carrying it up a flight of stairs, but worth it). It does 1080p...

    Ivy Bridge vs. Sandy Bridge for emulators... or wait for Haswell?

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'm waiting until Dolphin and PCSX2 both reach stable releases 4.0 and 1.0.0, respectively. Hopefully by then PCSX2's multi-threaded speedhack will have a implementation for more than just VU1 and Dolphin incorporates at least some ability to utilize three or...

    Ivy Bridge vs. Sandy Bridge for emulators... or wait for Haswell?

    I've been looking to replace my Athlon II X3 450 with one of the newer overclockable Intel CPUs since this thing is such a piece of s*** for running PCSX2 and Dolphin at the settings I want. I want to overclock to 4.8 GHz while Turboing two cores to 5.2 GHz or potentially higher to get the...

    Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking @ [H]

    What about emulators? My Athlon II X3 lags like a crazy playing a lot of games on Dolphin and PCSX2 at 1x native resolution with no AA or AF and I am growing more and more intolerant of it as the days go by. My inner graphics Nazi is telling me to go for i5-2500K or i5-3570K so I can play games...

    Question about AMD's SuperSampling

    I want to apply Super-Sampling to some games that support it. However, there are multiple filers listed under the SMOOTHVISION HD: Anti-Aliasing menu when I want to adjust the level of Super-Sampling. Do these filters affect the quality of the Super-Sampling and which one is the best to set out...

    Monitor for FPS gaming on xbox 360

    The video source needs to support a refresh rate of 120 Hz in order to take full advantage a 120 Hz LCD monitor. So buying a 120 Hz monitor would be pointless unless you're gaming on a PC that can run games at frame rates that high. Here's a good example of why a 120 Hz LCD is pointless for a 60...

    Ebay vs AccurateIT for CRTs?

    How do I do that? I tried to upload the files from my phone's camera but it says to upload an HTTP link instead. Am I supposed to upload the pictures to another website and link them here?
