    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Man you have no idea. It's like buying a car that won't run right and will depreciate 75% of it's value in 2 years lol. Ok, so Tgrove and Renny were right. Overclocking the CPU seems to have given the GPU's room to breathe. I'm getting high 90's usage on all GPU's in crysis at the...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Ok i'll try to overclock it tonight and report back. I'm worried about how much I'll be able to with only a Corsair h80. Anyone have any good guides on overclocking the 4930k?

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Yeah it's an extra molex, and it is plugged in. That's in the long post at the top of page 2. I have not increased any mobo voltage no. Auburn: yup, already tried 2 cards. First post on this page. some games low GPU usage, others stutter, some play ok. I thought about a bad SLi bridge as...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    The CPU is stock, but I don't want to overclock, that's just going to introduce another variable into the equation. I don't think most of these games would even require an overclock. the 4390 isn't even a very good overclocker. Could probably get 4.5, maybe 5. But that's with some pretty...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    I took off the cap in the cfg files. It'll run over 60. It had short bursts into the 100's. 3 and 4 way SLi coming probably monday because results aren't looking too good, want to try to switch some video cards around.

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Ok here's the run down and stuff. BIOS is set to default except for SATA set to RAID for my OS drive. BIOS is not updated and running original ship BIOS. No other settings altered. RAM is set to default Mobo speeds, which is 1333 MHz. That's half the speed the RAM is rated for (2666 MHz)...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    I've seen the top card hit 95/96. But it's usually mid to high 80's. Each card then goes about 10 degrees cooler as you go down. so the bottom card might only be 45-65. And yeah you're right, i assume it's hard to get air as well. I have a floor fan blowing on them to help. I have no...

    Think i should use 3 monitor's from the beginning? Any recommended games you think i should use that generally perform well GPU wise for you? thinking Crysis 3 should do it.

    Will 1 card work in slot 2-4 by itself?

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Just an update, as i'm still having problems. One of my sticks of RAM ended up being bad. After i took it out I haven't had any more random shut downs. I've tried both the oldest and newest BIOS, no performance differences there. Have tried geforce drivers 332.21, 335.23, 337.50, no big...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Well i updated my BIOS, turned off core parking, changed video drivers to 335.23. Now i can't play any games. The PC just restarts itself. No errors are showing in event viewer....

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    I haven't turned the CPU power saving feature off, i'll do that now CPU Usage is generally 30-50% RAM speed is set to XMP profile. I double checked the voltages and speed, and they do seem to be set correctly. I do not have the latest BIOS, I will update that now Driver version is...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    I haven't done a mem test, but i have tried my ram from my old computer. It's much slower, and only 6GB, but performance was nearly identical. Testing each GPU is a check-box on the list i've made. But i bought them all separately and they seemed to work fine. They were in my older...

    New Computer, underwhelming performance

    Hey Everyone, So i just built my new PC. It's on air right now, but planned on putting it on water in a few weeks. But wanted to stress test before i did to make sure everything is running ok. Basically, I'm extremely underwhelmed by the performance of it in every game I've played...
