    Anyone jumping on these RX570/580 deals?

    Not really. It’s just that Nvidia has everything locked down so you can’t optimize

    Gigabyte H110-d3a not seeing 6th gpu

    i recently got a gigabyte h110-d3a with a dual core celly and 4gb ddr4 for almost nothing Long story short, I’m having all sorts of trouble getting the sixth GPU to show up in windows, it doesn’t even show up in device manager. I know that the GPU works because I have tested it in another...

    Random system freezes

    OK. Several days of running without Intel speed step in abled and absolutely no crashes. Any ideas on how I can still have the function of throttling down for the power saving purposes but not crashing?

    Random system freezes

    So far disabling Intel speed step seems to have corrected the issue

    Random system freezes

    I have only noticed this when the machine was left alone, the less the machine is doing, the more likely it is to happen… For instance I had disconnected my network cable to use on another machine for a moment… as a result neither the graphics cards nor the CPU did much, about 3 hours later I...

    Random system freezes

    Normally I would agree but I have tested it at stock clocks... seems to happen when it’s not doing on the CPU

    Random system freezes

    i have a rig that is randomly freezing up. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern. It’s a rather weird freeze too... all three screens continue to display the desktop. But the mining software disconnects and the mouse and keyboard no longer work. Also the computer is not found on the network...

    planning a new build, old build and a sell off

    So the plan is to sell 2 motherboards and 2 CPUs. Build one for my kids...(I’ll be snagging them a cheap rx470 and an ssd) then update my current rig to a Ryzen 1700 or 1800... so new cpu, motherboard and ram Currently I have a i7 2600k that runs solid at 4.6Ghz on air, 16gb ddr3 1600 480gb...

    Considering an AMD upgrade

    i am considering upgrading my current CPU (i7 2600k @ 4.6) to a Ryzen 1700. I figure an oc to 3.8 or 4.0 would be easy I figured I would need ddr4 8gb x 2, and a motherboard that can handle at least 8x/8x crossfire On a side note I’m picking up an EVGA clc 240 today for $40 Any reasons I...

    Powerspec PSUs?

    So I am wondering about Powerspec PSUs? They are a Microcenter house brand and from what I can tell they are reasonably well made... kinda heavy in fact They are certainly not as low of quality as an old Inland or Diablotek... but I doubt they are on par with a high end Corsair and the like...

    What is your preference on case & radiator fans? (Price vs Performance vs Noise)

    Also gentle typhoons are great if you have some cash

    I used to love Yate Loons. Great fans do cheap

    I want to oc my RAM. Would like some tips.

    I would test tighter timings at your current speed... then try looser timings at faster speeds Do actual test to determine what is actually faster Sometimes you have to loosen ram timings so much to get stability at higher speeds that it negates any gains you might have got... other times you...

    I5 2400 38 x?

    Well I pulled my e3-1220 v2 and dropped in an i5 2400... now the settings are there... can access the +4 BIN... it will hit 3.8GHz easy... but under load drops to 3.6GHz. But I thought I could lock turbo in place to hold it at 3.8GHz

    I5 2400 38 x?

    So I am guessing that the +4 BIN is only for the i5 and i7 not the e3-1220 Xeons?

    OK so the +4 BIN is In addition to the turbo function

    I5 2400 38 x?

    I have been reading that the I5 2400 is capable of A 38x multiplier? I only ask because I recently acquired four of them. And I’m wondering if it would be worth it to toss one in my Asus p8z77-v lk? Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense since they are a 3.1 GHz processor. And should do about 3.5...

    Questions about overclocking non K 1155 CPUs

    i have noticed that a lot has changed since my last overclock (x3210) I have a Xeon e3-1220 v2. Ivy bridge, 3.1ghz quad core(3.5ghz on turbo boost) However back in the day we could run the piss out of the FSB (now seems that is called BCLK) but there were dividers to keep everything at or...

    Something weird happened this morning

    I went downstairs to my gaming rig... which mines when it’s not gaming... I have a pair of XFX rx 580 GTS 8gb. I typically run them with the 1500 timing copied to everything above 1500 Core speed @ 1150 MHz @ 912mV Ram @ 2020 MHz @ 1000mV I could never get it stable above that But I decided...

    i have a mining rig with a pair of Rx580 Nitro Plus 4gb cards, a Power Color RX480 Red Devil 8gb and a XFX rx480 RS 8gb Last night I uninstalled an ASUS Rx580 Dual OC 4gb so I could install the XFX rx480 in its place. I cleaned all the cards and lowered the memory clocks just a bit as I wanted...

    Ivy Bridge running hot?

    Well I was using bunk software... I installed HWMonitor and with nothing running the hottest core was 31c (room temp is about 26c) While mining I saw about 33c max Prime95 showed cores between 37c and 42c with a slight increase in fan speed (PWM fan)

    Ivy Bridge running hot?

    No not GPU mining... I normally see about 3-5% there is a bit of a spike when your are loading stuff... but that’s not a huge part of the utilization

    Possible problem with memory I sold to a coworker

    I recently sold some corsair DDR3 2400 MHz ram to a coworker (4 x 8gb). It’s rated 10-12-12-31 @ 2400mhz @ 1.65v He has an fx6300 with a ga 78lmt usb3 motherboard. Now he tells me he has had weird issues with his pc before I tested it on 3 rigs before selling it to him, running several...

    Mined Cards vs. "New" Cards from Retailers

    Honestly, I have had nothing but good luck. In the last three months I’ve purchased nine graphics cards, three of these were GTX 1060’s, the remainder were various RX 580s. All of them have worked flawlessly. In fact most of them were mind on for at least six months some of the best performers I...
