    upgrade video card, entire system, or both?

    if your gaming the resolution you game at is the most important part of info you left out Right now the best bang for your buck is 7850 for ~$150, they OC easily and run most everything maxed out at 1080P I also think a good cpu cooler that will fit your current cpu as well as future one is a...

    $900 Gaming Build

    no way he needs that large of PSU I'm running an older Antec TP3 550w and have 3570K oc's and 7850 oc'd and have plenty of room to spare He can spend 1/2 that for a 500w good unit I think if Microcenter is an option just get a 3570k and decent mobo as it will have higher resale later

    How low have you undervolted an Ivy Bridge?

    I have the same setup @4.2Ghz and I'm down to -.140v on cpu in offset mode and I get 1.15v with load level 3, then at idle cpuz shows .76v. I also tried an get no boot at 4.3 with LLC 2 on current offset so it will need more juice. Wondering how you get down 1.12v maybe the vids on the chips...

    How low have you undervolted an Ivy Bridge?

    that is good, my current build idles at 60 watts with 1 fan running, 3570K, Asrock z77 extreme 4, 7850, 2x 830 ssd's and a 3TB wd green. Which is a nice jump for me from my Q9650 and 4850 which was ~100 watts idle

    Upgrade from Q9650 2 questions

    Well So far I dont think the S1283 is up to the task of 4.4 for daily at least with a single fan(loud 120mmx38mm). Ran at near 80 C at 4.2Ghz after 6hrs of OCCT with -.06v vcore also lowered a few other voltages. I'm wondering how much the offset mounting is effecting temps? The Asrock board is...

    The limit only applies if you are booting from the HD If your not booting from it then the only limit is the OS, which you can work around AFAIK

    Upgrade from Q9650 2 questions

    Thanks for the reply, I know the Asrock board has extra holes for 775 mounting. I have the ack crossbow mount which IIRC is for 775 only. I did find the 1155 mount for it still avail on newegg well unless its only for the newer xig coolers?. How do you like your board? hows the audio? When I...

    Upgrade from Q9650 2 questions

Is the Hyper...
