This is more of a rant than anything... The Windows 10 installer used to let you "only save files locally" (which was a tiny button compared to the giant "NEXT" button which enabled OneDrive) You do not even have that option anymore. It uses OneDrive immediately and you have no say now Your...

Google "i5 haswell overclocking tutorial", the second hit is "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mLP3pGvnDU", and in that video they use the same motherboard as me :)

BTW - Remember pad modded Xeons? Despite the fact that pad modding increased frequency and not voltage, pad modded Xeons were always stable. There was a lot of voltage headroom, presumably for "stability" on those server grade chips.

Lol, I definitely thought about the language when I posted. But language and definitions aside, you know what I mean. I don't know if 1.26v really is the minimum stable voltage. If Jesus came down and said he simulated all the particles in the universe and 1.26v is the minimum stable...

4.5ghz is the desired speed, and it is also my current speed

CPU: i5 4670K Speed: 4.5ghz @ 1.26v Motherboard: MSI Z87 G45

Suppose my Haswell is stable at 1.26v, but not 1.25v (prime95 crash after 9 hours at 1.25v). So 1.26v appears to be the minimum stable voltage. But it is still really close to 1.25v, and might not actually be stable. To ensure stability, how many volts should one add to the minimum stable...

Well, I went back to Rosewill's website and did a search for the product rather than clicking on the support link, in hopes that I could get to the driver without it crashing on me. Luckily I made it. As it turns out, the CD that came with the product had a driver from 2007 on it. I'm using...

It just happened again right after my previous post. I went to Rosewill's site and Bam! a crash. In like the same place even. But I can come here and post just fine....?

The board shipped with the latest version of the BIOS. Things seemed to have deteriorated. It's crashing again. Lowering CPU and HT clock speeds don't seem to help. Strangely, at stock, it passes Windows 7 memory diagnostic, Memtest86+, AMD Overdrive stability test, Prime95 torture test, yet...

I put my comp together about a week ago. It installed Windows 7 just fine. However, it started to freeze periodically and the freezing got more frequent. This was happening with everything at stock settings. After trial and error I figured out the problem was the CPU NB VID needed more...

I was just picking arbitrary numbers for vx, uy, wz, ect... I assumed the chances of them making the denominator 0 was 0. My bad. I guess I still don't quite understand why uncommenting the useless asm block speeds things up though. I don't get that at all. And suppose I use a...

BTW - That last printf() statement has three unused items. I had to do something with a,b, and c or else the compiler would never even bother to compute them. I appreciate the time MS employees spent to weed out certain things to make my software faster, but sometimes I want the program to do...

Here is a little C program that I am compiling with Visual Studio 2005: This program just tells you how long it takes to run some random code. Notice that there are two things commented out (the green text). One would expect that uncommenting these things would slow the program down...

Thanks. Am reading that msdn article now.
