    My high-end build (weak, temp GPU) +question about lagging + performance?

    Hi, thanks kindly for that info. You know, this is what I was thinking, or my "logic" when I decided to build the system I did and put off buying a high-end card. I figured if that Quadro was doing the job in 2002, how bad could it be when I complemented it with all the other higher end...

    My high-end build (weak, temp GPU) +question about lagging + performance?

    Hey, thanks for your reply! I know, 40-60 Tabs is a gateway-dose to deeper and darker things my friend. Basically, I have this addon for FF that I drag around any links I want to open up and read and it makes it way too easy to do so rather than right-clicking/open in new tab. I also keep...

    My high-end build (weak, temp GPU) +question about lagging + performance?

    Thanks for the fast reply! The SSD is on the smaller size (120gb). I have optimized it but have read different things about that for SSDs; some say that they do not need it and others say they do. I am talking about defrags and file location etc. I will give that another go but it was like...

    My high-end build (weak, temp GPU) +question about lagging + performance?

    Hi everyone, FIRST OFF - I DO NOT GAME. Purpose of system: graphics, music editing/composing, very heavy multi-tasking. I built a "new" system about a few months ago (almost a year now!) and these are the specs: ASUS Rampage IV extreme, Intel i7 3930K; OC @3.9 (Heatsink+2 CPU fans, 9...

    ASUS R4E audio Q: 2nd Sound Card & native DAC Chip?

    Anyone know what DAC chip is used in the R4E? I am adding an external DAC (digital / analog converter) - a higher-ish end one well, middle of the road really (Schiit Audio, Musical Fidelity, Grace Audio, Benchmark or something like that $1000-1500-ish). BUT I am wondering what the current DAC...

    3930K issue? w/32gb RAM,SSD = Audio Stutter +100 tabs=crash

    That's what I was hoping too, but I have a month on my 3930k warranty so I should get it sorted ASAP; No, I have not done a fresh install, can not afford the downtime at the moment, will try it this weekend though. Will post back when I do. Thanks for the advice, clearly this crossed my mind but...

    Possible silly question: High end 3930k+32gb+ with old Quadro card gpu

    Right good call. I never really thought of that! I know that it's not that hot of a card, you are most likely right! I will post back. I will be utilizing this rig soon when I get the new card(s) but it's an expensive hobby for me! thanks for your reply

    Possible silly question: High end 3930k+32gb+ with old Quadro card gpu

    HI guys, I built a really good machine a few months back HCP-1200 PSU, Asus Rampage iv extreme, 3930k cpu, 32gb samsung green, 256gb m4 SSD etc. I spent my budget on those components and recycled an old NVIDIA Quadro FX 1700 (don't laugh!) as I wanted to wait til the prices of some of the...

    Rampage IV, Samsung 30nm RAM OVERCLOCK advice? Screenshots included 2000 9 9 9 9 24

    OK fair enough, that is what I was wanting to get feedback on. I don't want to be replacing a $600 CPU in a year though, so I had kind of wanted to keep it as low as I can for day to day use then ramp it up when I need to encode. But I wanted to keep the RAM as fast as I can (I know the...

    Rampage IV, Samsung 30nm RAM OVERCLOCK advice? Screenshots included 2000 9 9 9 9 24

    GOAL here: 4.0GHz on a 3930k with the least voltage I can PLUS: 2000 @ 9 -9-9-9-24 or better, 1T at less than 1.50v (I have seen people boasting this or 2133 even, I am more interested in 1866-2000 with decent timings, lover voltage to be honest. I don't care about synthetics, I care about...

    Corsair Obsidian 550d?

    Noctua NH D14 SE2011 and Coolermaster 212 EVO = same temps (50C and 51C respectively ) on a 3930k, Rampage IV extreme in a 550D under full load, (just an FYI) -- one is $100 (Noctua) and one is $30....you can add a 2nd 120mm fan to the Coolermaster for $10

    Corsair Obsidian 550d?

    I own the case too, my recommendation is (if you are worried about breaking the posts off) - is to replace them with metal ones, they appear to be replaceable and you can try an auto-supply shop for replacements for them and the latches on the door perhaps?? Can redbeard comment as to whether...
