    Is there anyway I can check the PSU voltages out? I am curious if the video card is getting enough juice? Also is there a good way to monitor the GPU temp in game? Thanks.

    Freeze in games (video card related??)

    Originally the computer had a GTX 260 core 216, the computer ran like a champ and never froze even after hours of gaming. I then traded in my video card for a GTX 285. Immediately the computer started becoming unstable and would freeze after extended gaming. I diagnosed the problem as the video...

    Should I upgrade my gtx 260?

    I currently have a gtx 260 216 superclocked with 12 days remaining to use my evga step up. I paid $285 for the card. These are my options: 1. Keep my current card and no step up 2. Step up to a GTX 285 ($100 additional cost) 3. Step up to a gtx 260 216 55mm (non superclocked) at no...

    MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard - Let's talk about it

    Just did some bechmarking, cpu is running great at 166 x 20. My max temp so far is 49c across the board. cpuZ voltages ranges from 1.088 to 1.192 depending on load. Going to try more OC tonight or tomorrow. I have 1600mhz ram so I would like to run at least 3.5ghz cpu and 1400mhz ram

    MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard - Let's talk about it

    MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard - Let's talk about it

    I just got mine tonight. Currently installing windows. The packaging and looks of the board in person are quality. Even though its cheap compared to other X58 motherboards this is by no means a low end motherboard. Hence it still costs $220. One weird thing so far. In the bios the memory...

    NH-U12P SE1366 (HELP)

    I am trying to install my NH U12P 1366 on my MSI X58 motherboard. I have followed the directions perfectly and tightened every screw. I can not get the cooler to make contact with the cpu no matter how many times I take it apart and reinstall it. No thermal compound even touches the cooler...
