    Trouble overclocking 4790k

    VCore is "adaptive" Open Hardware Monitor puts it at ~0.888v under load and 0.872v idle, with a 10% overlock (stable 4.4ghz).

    And one more update Original before lighting. Lots of empty space...but I have a plan for it After lighting #1 After lighting #2 I have a microcontroller(teensy 2.0++) hooked up to the lights in the case, so they fade from #1 to #2 (along with a ton of colors in between)...

    Trouble overclocking 4790k

    I put a small overclock (to 4.4ghz) in the bios, and upped the ram to pc1600 with 11/13/13/35/2t timings and things seem relatively stable. The ram is listed as pc2400 11/13/13/31/2t, I'll continue upping the clock speed until it dies and see how fast it can actually run. I can hear some...

    Trouble overclocking 4790k

    Trouble overclocking 4790k

    Hey, I have a new 4790k processor, ram, and all that fun, but I can't seem to get even a minor (5-10%) overclock to be stable. I've tried the auto xmp settings and the system runs prime95 for ~5 minutes, or a game for ~15 minutes before crashing hard. Once it crashes, it takes a minute or two...

    Yay, 24 pin cable done! I think I'm going to just make extensions for the PCI-E cables, will be far easier to keep neat looking than dealing with double wires. I test-painted a dead fan (ignore the unsleeved wires and the crappy paint job on the bottom) and I'm not sold on my original plan...

    And the promised second set of cables... The ends are all nicely fit into their homes in the connector. Next up, the 24 pin cable and taking apart the fans to paint them.

    Project: First steps...

    Hey, I haven't really done any kind of case modding before, but...I put together a plan, and a component list, and have started down the path of creating something. It won't be as pretty as most of the mods I see on here, but, damnit, it'll be something I did What follows is a chronicle of my...
