    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    Now that makes sense! I new there must have been inherent limitations in the chipset for the size/number of PCIe slots. I did guess that it was the number lanes into the CPU but wasn't sure. When I researching which machine to get before buying the P9X79 I searched everywhere for a i7 that...

    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    I thought so too but the specs on Asus site stated "supports single channel memory" Could have been a typo, I should have asked. Relating to PCIe x16 vs x8 I have seen a real difference with my P9X79 WS. I have 2 Quadro K5000s installed and a Quadro quad SDI capture card (4 uncompressed HD+...

    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    I guess the high voltage can burn out connections in the cpu even without high temps. Makes sense. its true I should spend more time to do it properly. I have a big project due friday so I haven't been able to really put the time in. I've dropped the voltage down to 1.3 and in the morning...

    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    Ah thanks Yeah sometimes I think I would use stress like one of the stress tests when using an app like After Effects or Maya and doing some CPU based raytrace renderings but mostly this machine will be used for a "game" like app that's main bottleneck is usually the GPU (usually running at...

    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    Really? From temperature or just from a high voltage? My other machine is at 1.36v which is overclocked to 4.5 ghz (3960K ) by a company (BoxxTech) and sold to me with a 3 year warranty. I don't touch those settings because it could void my warranty, is that too high also? Ha I am from...

    Haswell 4.7 ghz 1.375v max 55 C good/ bad?

    Hi I'm relatively new to overclocking. I've purchased pre-overclocked machines in the past (for 3d animation and live video production) but I recently decided to upgrade my mobo and CPU myself so I could would have PCIe 3.0 slots to run the new GPUs on. I've went with a 4770k and an Asus...

    best memory for OC Asus Maximus VI Extreme

    Okay that makes sense. So I think you've answered one of my questions that I've had then. I can reduce the clock rate of faster ram in the bios? I'll have to find this Asus guide. Okay so what I'll do then is not open the second package of 1600 I've got. Then once I determine how good...

    best memory for OC Asus Maximus VI Extreme

    Hi I've recently ordered a new Asus Maximus VI Extreme mobe and an i7 4770k to build anew machine that I plan on overclocking. In the past I've only purchased pre overclocked machines but this time I thought I would save some money and do it myself. I have a question about the best speed ram...
