    Nvidia drivers 186.24 dx11

    For whoever is interested I installed the newest nvidia drivers i could find (186.24) and they report dx 11. I don't really keep up with this stuff, or even play games for that matter so I rolled back the driver just to check if i was crazy and dx 11 was already out, but nope 186.18 went...

    My own water-cooling idea

    Kinda depends on ambient temperature for idle but i would imagine 25-30c (im at 30 but its i7 and they run hot) I'm not terribly familiar with amd, but 60 something under load probably. If all you are cooling is your processor your temps are going to be fantastic I can assure you that. Edit...

    My own water-cooling idea

    Thats pretty expensive considering what it is. If you are trying to spend $250 just go to dangerden and make a custom kit. All the parts will be guaranteed quality and it isnt going to cost 250 if you are just doing cpu. Just select the parts (it should be pretty clear what you need it...

    A story so frustrating I have to share it

    Yeah, I was basically overthinking it. This board doesnt support xmp memory profiles (such as my memory uses to get to 1600) according to rebelshaven, and I did run 6-8 hours of memtest on them immediately upon there being problems and they passed. It just didnt occur to me they werent at full...

    A story so frustrating I have to share it

    Lol, sorry..I rarely post things in forums or anywhere. Just irritated and not thinking about what that would look like to others.

    A story so frustrating I have to share it

    I just came to a realization so frustrating its unbelievable, and the fact I overlooked this makes me want to scream. So about a month ago I purchased the parts for this build, the mobo being a biostar tpower x58. The main reason behind this pick for mobo was it was relatively cheap, and I read...

    Overclocking Overload!

    For the multipliers part of your question, higher multipliers typically require higher voltages. I don't know enough about amd's to get you a full breakdown and I wont try too. Just remember the fsb is what you are aligning with everything else.

    Overclocking Overload!

    Basically you are looking too boot..then make stable. I am not a pro at oc'ing amd's but since I know you have been hanging for a couple hours I'll try to lend a hand...PCI-e freq just leave as it is. NB and SB leave auto, you arent trying an OC big enough to need those. like sirmonkey1985 said...

    Overclocking Overload!

    Yeah, my bad I totally blew that one...not paying enough attention.

    Overclocking Overload!

    You need to work on getting the rated speed stable first before you are factoring in an overclock on those that may or may not be possible. The higher you get that fsb the higher the cpu voltage is going to need to be. As long as the mobo is pulling spd timings off those sticks (I only bother...

    Just finished i7 build

    I have been lurking here forever so I guess its about time I got around to posting something haha. Just finished a new i7 build, first time I have actually built my own comp in several years, forgot how satisfying it is. Only problem I encountered is my motherboard didn't pick up the spd timings...
