    Simple i5 2500K Overclock on Asus Board

    So i think I've fixed it. Re-seated the cooler, realized the top of the case fan wasn't plugged in and lowered the voltage to 1.20. Ran Prime95 for 12 hours last night, these were my max temps on each core;62 59 66 61 And they seemed to average around;60 58 64 60 Ambient temp in my...

    2500K Prime 95 Temps

    What is an average voltage for 4.2? I just chose one at random based off of some forum posts. The thing that makes me think It won't matter is that it was 40 Idle at stock as well. I'm thinking reseating the cooler will be the best bet. And if for some reason it doesn't change anything, I...

    Simple i5 2500K Overclock on Asus Board

    Case air flow is set up in the proper way. I have the Coolermaster HAF big ol' metal case. I forget the exact model number but it was about 150-200 dollars a few years ago. Also, I am using the exact same case and air flow and cooler as my previous build had. I put a pea sized drop in the...

    2500K Prime 95 Temps

    Would you suggest me still attempting to re-seat the 212+? Just because I was nervous that it slid around a lot when I installed it. I just use it for gaming, but some gaming sessions (when I can) go pretty long. Then if it doesn't go down any further, just dealing with it, or dropping the OC...

    2500K Prime 95 Temps

    Hello everyone, So when I was building my computer and installing the Hyper 212+ I was worried that I let it slide around too much when trying to get the Xbrace underneath it. I decided to not worry about it and figured it was fine since none really came out the sides at all, even though I...

    Samsung 830 256GB, slow random read/write

    I re-tested with AS SSD Benchmark. Here were my results on both drives. Now on this one, my OCZ speeds are slower than the other? http://imgur.com/R1Zc2 http://imgur.com/MRtM3 Edit* I just ran ATTO benchmark, and both of drives performed just as results online said. Is this a reliable one?

    Simple i5 2500K Overclock on Asus Board

    This sounds like a great plan, thank you for the straight answers. My only concern with "which to choose" is that they don't have the 33's they only say "auto" and start at 16 when I cycle through. The descriptions of both are as follows; "allows you to manually adjust the amx non-turbo cpu...

    Samsung 830 256GB, slow random read/write

    I'm having some trouble with the samsung 830 SSD that I installed as well. Windows 7 wouldn't register it as in my system, even though Samsung Magician and the bios did. Then I used my windows disk to create a new partition for it, and then I exited out. After this I was able to format it in...

    Simple i5 2500K Overclock on Asus Board

    Hello everyone, I've searched for the answer to this, but I can't find the specific one for my needs. I have an Asus p8z68 V-Pro Gen 3 and an I5 2500k with Hyper 212+ cooler. I desire an overclock of a modest 4.2 Ghz. I understand I can change the clock multiplier to achieve this...

    Question about windows shortcuts

    Hello everyone, I have a, hopefully, simple question for you. At work i have shortcuts to a few files that are shared/updated on the network drive. But after they are updated, my shortcut fails to load since it is a newer version. Is there a way to keep the shortcut up to date? Thank you!

    What drivers to update, Please advise

    Well i'm only going to use 2 ssds, Potentially my 1 tb HDD as well. But the idea of a fully SSD computer sounds nice, I'd have 350 Gigs roughly, after OS. I only have 25 Gigs of music, and barely ever get more. And I use my backup computer for Movies. Although, I guess if i just put pictures...

    What drivers to update, Please advise

    That all makes sense, and I know these are kind of dumb questions, I just wanted to eliminate errors on my part. Quick question, I know to avoid the Marvel ports, and to use the Intel 6Gb/s ports but why would I install the Marvel driver anyways, even if not in use?

    What drivers to update, Please advise

    Hello everyone. Today I'm building another computer and I just want to make sure I install the proper drivers. Whenever I go to motherboard sites I always get overwhelmed with how many different versions there are for some files. I know to install the latest video driver for the gtx 680 I...
