Ok I ran with PrecisionX kboost, voltage up, power target up for a bit and the game seems to stutter a lot less aggressively. However I still think there are slight variations in the clock speed that might be making the few stutters there were. I really want to get the clock speed 100%...

Heyy anyone know about this? Basically I want to try to get the video card to run with out the VRel (reliability voltage) performance cap showing up in GPUz. Any idea how to do this?

It's GTX 760 4gb, i7 3770, 12 gb RAM, Windows 8.1. The game is IL2 Cliff of Dover. In GPUz when the game starts pushing the core clock past 980mhz I get stutters and GPUz tells me there is Performance Cap VRel (reliability voltage) there is a guide here that might help if I can figure it out...

Hmm it's already on maximum performance

Hey how do I set my core clock so that it doesn't "boost"? I got this game and it starts lagging when the core clock fluctuates. I think it runs fine when the clock is at 980mhz so I want that to be the maximum...

No no it was the 8.1 update it changed the tile background colors on the start menu to be similar in color to the icons. Before the 8.1 update the tile background colors were the same and it looked a lot better and was way easier to read and find programs, now the colors are all crazy ass random...

I mean seriously I don't see how there wasn't a public uprising that stormed the Microsoft offices one week after this was implemented and hasn't 8.1 been out for like a year now? If I knew for sure that 8.1 wouldn't be forced on me again I would wipe the whole system clean and go back to 8 it's...

I had my start menu tiles looking just fine with a nice pretty gray background color. Microsoft forced this 8.1 update on me and now my Start Menu looks like a leprechaun on psychedelics vandalized my Start Menu with these hideous icon background colors. I've been searching for hours on how to...

Allright allright I was just curious and I waited too long for the order to ship for the day so I figured I'd ask about it. I'm gonna get the 450w, I was thinking maybe the 550w would be better if I was gonna maybe run 2 videocards some day but then it would probably be better to have 650w or so...

Do the wires run hotter as you approach the maximum amp draw? Will the wires run any cooler with more overhead?

Hey still trying to figure out what PSU to get and was wondering about the "output" numbers. The 450w lists it's output as +3.3V@20A,+5V@20A,+12V@37A,[email protected],+5VSB@3A And the 550w lists it's output as +3.3V@22A,+5V@22A,[email protected],[email protected],+5VSB@3A So there is the differences in Amps for each...

Ok well, I've been through this question before but don't really remember what the conclusion was. In your own estimation would the draw difference between a 450w and 550w with the same efficiency be 0w, 0 - 5w, 5 - 10w or more? If it's getting up to something like 10w then I would take the...

I.... I... Just don't know, will 550w draw any more power than a 450w if they have the same efficiency rating?

Hmm I'll probably never need 550w, wouldn't it be better to have enough for what I need in a gold rated PSU? So lets say a 450w is at least 100w more than I need wouldn't that be a better fit? GTX 760 is 170w, i7 3770 is 77w that's 247w with about 200w left over for DVD drive, HD and SSD.

Yea I'm just wondering if I should get the SeaSonic for 5 bucks more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151124

Allrighty thanks for that explanation. I think it's gonna need a new PSU just to be safe.

Well there is also one free SATA power cable and I see there is an adapter for that as well http://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-15-pin-6-Pin-Express/dp/B00H3NVHYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1412466976&sr=8-7&keywords=sata+to+6+pin+pci-e Would that be getting too silly having two different adapters? Also...

Edit: Uh it posted this twice so i'm deleting the text...

I looked again it seems like that's the only one. The DVD drive, hard drive, and what I think is a slot for an SSD drive use SATA. Why couldn't these people just put in a supply with the two 6-pin connectors ehehehe. Lets say I have to buy a new power supply would this one be pretty good...

It's a Lenovo K430 http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/desktops/ideacentre/k-series/k430/index.html It has a 450w power supply, i7 3770, nvidia GT 640 card I think (but I'm gonna put in the 760) 12 or 16gb ram not sure which. Well since it only has one molex connector free I think I'm gonna have to...

Hey I got this computer and I was gonna take the GTX 760 from this other computer and put it in, but there are no 6-pin supplementary power connectors and the 760 requires two of them. There is a free 4 pin molex connector, is there an adapter to give me the two 6-pin from the 4 pin molex? I...

Yea I see what you mean a 500 or 550 watt would allow for an extra 140 watt video card. I would do it but I'd like to know if these higher watt power supplies inherently draw more electricity? Or is it better to have power supply that covers just what you need when looking to conserve...

I think it's plenty I mean 95W plus 140W for the 660 is only 235W. Double that (470W) is much more than any of the other components use. I would get at least a bronze rated, maybe silver or gold psu. I'm gonna buy a watt meter for like 25 bucks too to know more about what the computer draws..

Yes well I'm using an i7 860 (max TPD 95w) It's a Gateway FX tower that had a Radeon 5850. Now I think the power supply is rated around 700 watts but I'm not sure if it's starting to fail, as I had to pull out the 5850 and put in a older 8800 nvidia. Not sure if its the 5850 gone bad or the...

Uhhh would it make more sense to get a 660 at like $15 - $20 more

I'm unclear on the differences between the 650 TI cards that have the boost label vs those that don't. Is boost only added SLI compatibility or are they better in other ways? I'm not using SLI so it's not important to me. Edit: Oh now I see the boost is better in ROPS, Core clock, and memory...

Yea that's what I was looking for. I thought it would rank higher than that after I heard something about the HD 4000 can play skyrim. But that shows there's a whole bunch of cards better than the 4000.

I was wondering which models of ATI and nvidia cards is the Intel HD 4000 graphics approximately equal to?

This one is a gateway fx desktop. It has an i7 860 2.8 ghz cpu with a Radeon HD 5850 (fan needs servicing, but I should be able to fix that) It's got 8 gigs of ram and I think a 1.5 tb hard drive. Comes with restore discs and a Windows 7 home premium license.

How do you all go about determining the value of older computers? Anyone sort of website that might "appraise" a set of components you specify?

I got this monitor now. I do notice some back light bleeding in the lower right and left corners in dark scenes (which lessens the farther away from the monitor you are, but I'm fairly close, little more than arms length usually) turning down the brightness helps, which I have to do anyway since...

Anyone know if there are any options for dust filters on the SG-05 like the TJ08B-E has? Even just magnetic ones that fit to the outside? http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=303 Also, can anyone recommend an air cooler for an i5-3470 (3.2 ghz no overclocking) that fits the SG-05?

Well I've been thinking about the Core i5-3570 or the 3470 Edit: really I'm just asking generally now about difference between 1600 and 1866 ram, and now I know that you can overclock 1600 if you want. I'm leaning more toward making a microATX with the i5 3470. If I knew what having faster ram...

So if I make a build that has an i5 with HD 2500 integrated graphics and also have a dedicated card like a geforce, will I have the option to switch between the 2 graphics at-will or automatically? For instance I noticed some notebooks have nVidia Optimus technology that switches between the...

i5 or i7

I see, so just wondering what the benefit of having faster ram is, maybe for photoshop type tasks or what do you think?

Hey what you think about the difference between DDR3 1600 and 1866 RAM in a Mini ITX build. Now I'm just assuming 1866 is better because it's a bigger number. But does the benefit only come under certain circumstance and what might those be?

Anyone know if a card reader can go in that front bottom slot ?

Generally which form is easier to build and provides better cooling efficiency, micro atx tower or micro atx desktop?

Allright well I wasn't aware you could really change the cooling on a video card. I also have to consider the cost to performance keeping the CPU in mind as well so that I'm not making a bottleneck wasting $$$ and Watts. Also for that reason I'm not much interested in overclocking, stock parts...
