You're missing the point...I'm going for as much FPS as I can get no matter what. My card shouldn't have to be killing itself to run CoD4 at 250FPS with very low settings. Maybe I'm just expecting too much out of GPUs though. Not sure. I'm looking at the EVGA GTX 670 FTW Signature2 a lot...

Yeah, decided not to do it. Don't think my temps are bad enough to the point where I'd need to. So between a Sapphire 7970, a PowerColor PCS+ 7970, and a EVGA GTX 670 FTW Signature2, which do you guys recommend and why? I'm leaning towards the PowerColor just because I've always wanted to go...

Is Arctic Silver 5 good enough? And how do I know what the appropriate amount is? Just by judging what was on there?

But why Sapphire over PowerColor? The review doesn't tell me how it compares to the PowerColor if if the $10 price difference is worth it. How do I replace the TIM? And why the 7950 compared to the 7970?

Hey guys, So right now I'm sitting with an i7 3770K @ 4.5GHz, an EVGA GTX 560 Ti Classified 448-Core, 16GB of RAM, and so on. I feel like my GPU is holding me back in a lot of games. I have it overclocked (stable) to 935/1870/2150 @ 1.038V, but I really don't think it's cutting it for my...

It was IDE. I will work on getting it to AHCI in the coming week.

That was it, appreciate it guys!

Windows 7 Home Premium. It's OEM. i7 3770K and ASRock Z77 Extreme6. I think I did, but I'll try again.

So I just upgraded a few parts of my PC, and I have a pretty unique problem. I upgraded my CPU, motherboard, RAM, and CPU Cooler, but not my hard drive. The problem is that when I boot up, I'm taken to the black screen that gives you the "Launch Repair Tool" and "Start Windows Normally"...

Danny, I'm curious as to why you're suggesting the i5 3470 over an i5 3570K or even an i7 3770K. The OP mentioned attempting to future proof the build. Although this is not possible given this day and age's technology release/update patterns, a higher-end processor in our current generation...

Double post...

Something not as poorly optimized as Crysis 3 if you can... And I am planning on going up to 4.5GHz.

Do you happen to play any demanding games that you can share the temps for? I just bought a 3770K off of someone on here and a Hyper 212 EVO off of Newegg. I'm afraid I may regret not going with the H80i or another water cooler. I would've gone with the Noctua NH-D14, but the new RAM I ordered...

Yeah, I don't have the side fan so I should be good.

I tried to find the answer through Google, but I guess I'll ask it here: does anyone have a Noctua NH-D14 in an Antec 900? The dimensions on Newegg show the width being 140mm according to the standard LxWxH dimensional format, but in what orientation? Just trying to make sure it will fit...

Alright, that's what I thought. So with the 3770K, I'd be overclocking my RAM as a separate entity (if I was to OC my RAM)?

I've had my current 8GB kit from G.SKILL for a while now and it hasn't dawned on me that my DRAM frequency didn't multiply to 1333 or 1600. The frequency is 761.1MHz, which multiplies out to 1522.2MHz. I know my CPU overclock (i5 750 2.66GHz ~ 3.8GHz) has something to do with this, but is...

Just going to chip in and say that 3GB of usage isn't cutting it that close. 4GB is fine unless you're rendering ridiculously huge scenes in a 3D modeling/animation program. For games, web-browsing, and other simple tasks, you're fine.

I need suggestions as to which cooler I should be getting for my soon-to-arrive i7 3770K that will most likely be sitting on an ASRock Z77 E6. My options are kind of limited by what I have to spend, but I'm really not looking to spend more than $60-70. Corsair H60 High Performance (Old...

The maturity level in this thread... But seriously, Crysis 3 is a joke. If you're building a rig for the sole reason of running a single game, you either have too much money or you're insane. Crysis has been a disappointment since the first game and even still, I was not impressed with that...

Did you receive my PM?

Nevermind...
