    Should I upgrade?

    Anybody... I'd like to know which clock frequency I should keep.

    Should I upgrade?

    Ok, I'm guessing my temps aren't overly unhealthy. I have yet another question... From a performance perspective, is it better to maximize processor clock frequency or RAM operating frequency? If I go up to 3.4 GHz on my processor, I have to drop my RAM down due to the fact that I cannot...

    Should I upgrade?

    I've overclocked my i7 920 to 3.2 GHz. I have noticed a massive difference in game responsiveness and smoothness (my frame rate doesn't drop as low in those graphically straining situations now). I am however worried about system temps. @ 3.2 GHz: Idle - 45 C, Max - 75 @ 3.4 GHz: Idle 55...

    Should I upgrade?

    Hey guys, Thanks for the replies. My cooler is the Thermaltake ISGC-300. I have overclocked this sucker in the past (very easily reaching 3 GHz but my temps were a worry when I ran prime95. Bottlenecking is extremely difficult to diagnose considering the fact that most games run at low...

    Should I upgrade?

    Hi guys, Need advice on whether or not I should upgrade my rig. It has served me well for the past 3.5 years. I plan to upgrade the following components as my 670 gtx is perfectly fine (6GB of DDR3, 1600 MHz RAM I can keep too): i7 920 ===> i5 3570k ASUS P6T ===> ASUS P8Z77-V PRO Windows...

    Advice needed on upgrade please.

    Multi GPU setup is not an option for me both because of heat and micro stuttering (I HATE IT!) Can anyone confirm that this model of GTX 570 is a non-reference pcb design and hence won't have the problem with frying VRM'S that the reference 570's experienced when overclocked...

    Advice needed on upgrade please.

    Hmmm... now I'm contemplating a GTX 570 but apparently a 6970 is just better. Think it's worth bothering to upgrade from a HD 5870 to GTX 570. My parts are old and if I choose to re-haul my entire system a year from now (most likely) parting with a 570 won't be as difficult as with a 580...

    Advice needed on upgrade please.

    Thanks all for the advice thus far, As I'm in Australia EVGA is no more attractive than any other brand because the excellent support and warranty is only entitled to EVGA customers inside North America. Also, I've noticed that EVGA are one of the few manufacturers who don't provide a custom...

    Advice needed on upgrade please.

    My specs: Asus P6T 6 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1.6 GHZ i7 920 @ 3.2GHz HD 5870 750W Antec PSU I've noticed my 5870 lagging behind in performance with most of the titles I've played this year. I play all games at 1920x1080 and even had to drop my resolution to 1080x1050 to obtain playable frames in...
