    GTX 570/460 BSODs / Hard Lockup

    Really. I mean, I can understand passion but, this isn't a kid who doesn't buy anything. I had just said he bought bf3 in the beginning of the thread. And yes, it really was a friend of mine.

    GTX 570/460 BSODs / Hard Lockup

    It was an overclock that had gone bad over time. Ran 4.0 for about a year, and it somehow became unstable. Rolled it back to stock settings and furmark runs fine. Thanks for the help.

    GTX 570/460 BSODs / Hard Lockup

    Thank you for your very helpful reply. I am not encouraging what he's done, in fact I would say you're right saying he got what he deserved. But, the issue still stands.

    GTX 570/460 BSODs / Hard Lockup

    Hello I have a friend who bought a GTX 570 about two weeks ago for the express purpose of playing BF3. For those two weeks, it ran great. He was playing it daily, as well as dabbling in all the other games he had been playing. He was upgrading from an XFX 9800GTX+, so it was quite the...

    Nikon D90 or D3100?

    I'm not totally decided on lenses, but I'm considering the 70-300mm and the 35mm f/1.8 or the 50mm f/1.4, or maybe all three, depending on what I ultimately spend on the camera. Trying to keep the total under $2k, but I'd like a decent zoom lens and a fast prime.

    Nikon D90 or D3100?

    I'm debating between two DSLR models . . . the Nikon D90 or the D3100. After narrowing my selection down to just these two models, I've been reading reviews for days and I can't seem to make a solid decision. In head-to-head comparisons, the D90 comes out just ahead and doesn't have the same...

    Safe i5 Voltages?

    Yes, my VTT is also low, but I think that's why my vcore has to be high to achieve stability. My settings are as follows: >>Advanced Voltage Settings Load Line Calibration: Disabled CPU Vcore: 1.35000V QPI/VTT Voltage: 1.150V PCH Core: 1.050V CPU PLL: 1.800V DRAM Voltage: 1.560V DRAM...

    Safe i5 Voltages?

    Yeah. If he was putting it up more, hopefully it wasn't much past 1.375v, the recommended safe maximum voltage. 1.35 is working just fine for me, though, 24/7.

    Safe i5 Voltages?

    Think he's saying that he doesn't think it needs 1.35v, as he just started OCing it. My understanding is he put it way high in order to get a high overclock and plans to step the voltage down soon. I think.

    Soy anything is bad for men to consume, it promotes the generation of estrogen and similar compounds in the male body, which is not good.
