    What was the worst graphics card for heat?

    Hahah I remember my SLI GTX 480, didn't need heating on in the small room I was in in the winter :D

    1366 X58 Xeon 5650

    I'm going to be honest, I had an overclocked X5670 @ 4Ghz and it was struggling to feed my 980 ti. I can imagine it will have an even harder time for your 1080ti. So if I were you I'd think about if you want to invest in this system more money. Do some testing with MSI afterburner and see the...

    New Nvidia 411.63 drivers hinder performance

    Thing is though, NVIDIA would be taking a huge risk if they are doing this. The lawsuits they can get in the US etc. the drop in sales, probably? Must also (hugely?) impact mining farms.

    Now's your time AMD

    It's a very interesting scenario if AMD has something to compete with these new nvidia cards and then managed to sell them at a much lower price :D

    Geforce GTX1180/2080 Speculation thread

    Looking forward to the benchmark results :) Somehow I feel like they could have better named it 2070 / 2080 / Titan RTX or something. That Ti price is just a no no.

    Would you change to AMD GPU if there the fastest and you have a G-SYNC monitor

    For me to do such a thing AMD would have to be faster by such a high percentage, that would probably not happen knowing AMD. Btw, I'm really enjoying gsync!

    1366 X58 Xeon 5650

    Yeah for me there is a huge difference but I would feel bad to encourage others to do this if my previous system wasn't running properly. I am going to be honest, I have just tested PUBG and Metro Last Light so far with MSI Afterburner and just general feel. The GPU usage is totally different...

    1366 X58 Xeon 5650

    I'm at 2560x1440 (gsync 144Hz). Or I maybe I had something strange going on that could be. X5670 @ 4Ghz 1600Mhz 12GB DDR3, Asus P6X58D-E

    1366 X58 Xeon 5650

    Good chips, and great upgrade from the earlier i7 9xx, had mine at 4Ghz 24/7 for years. I will say this though, I was surprised at how much it bottlenecked my 980Ti at gaming so far. Upgraded 2 weeks ago and it's really night and day difference for me. Just saying. :)

    8086k or 8700k or 2700k or wait?

    Agreed, awesome case. Still have mine, the only 'bad' thing is that it's so super heavy... 1 LAN party, 2 weeks of back ache :p

    Bottlenecking

    Thought I'd report back on this thread as you might be interested. I just upgraded my Xeon X5670 @ 4Ghz + 12GB 3200Mhz DDR3 to Intel 8700K + 16GB 3200Mhz DDR4 and I have just installed Windows and PUBG (didn't have more time to test other stuff) and the difference is night and day. The GPU is...

    I7 8700K Running hot... or is it?

    I've had things like this before with previous CPU's. If all voltage settings are correct and the case has good enough airflow I'd suggest trying to refit the cooler (with new cooling pasta), it could be just not seated 100% correctly. I've had this 3 times with different systems over the years.

    40th Anniversary Intel - Core i7-8086K - 5.0GHz+

    Got my 8700K yesterday evening. Tears in my eyes :D Seriously though, I have a feeling this chip will be very expensive.

    Bottlenecking

    CPU usage I have on is the average of the 6c/12t it's most of the time between 25 - 45%. FPS dips, I mean it's different in different scenarios. Let's say I'm looking at an open field and turn and start lookign at a big city/village then I will start see the GPU usage drop. Also, and this is the...

    Bottlenecking

    So I was just reading this thread... Not to hijack or anything, but when I play PUBG with my 980Ti @ 2560x1440 - gsync 144hz I get a lot of times that GPU usage in afterburner is 65 - 80 percent. Now I don't know, would that be CPU bottlenecking or just bad programming... or both :P CPU Xeon...

    WiFi PCIe card not as stable as I like

    Yeah so I tested it with two routers, Apple Airport Extreme and a D-Link 860IL (or something) linked to the TP-Link T9E Archer and I have not been able to get it stable. Have tried a million things, turning/rotating the case so the antennas point in the right direction, configuring the antennas...

    WiFi PCIe card not as stable as I like

    Hi guys, So, I put together a new workstation for my girlfriend and put a PCIe wireless card init, the TP-LINK Archer T9E, the workstation is at the 1st floor (all wooden floors). At the ground floor is a fiber connection coupled with my Apple Airport Extreme. Our Dell Ultrabook is having a...

    Overclock unstable / won't boot after inserting GTX980ti

    Last update: The replacment EVGA GTX 980Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ works great with my setup so it looks like a Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Gaming doesn't work nicely with an Asus P6X58D-E. Hope it might help other people still on the board. Thanks for the help guys!

    Overclock unstable / won't boot after inserting GTX980ti

    Little update: Card was tested and is totally stable in their test bench so it's probably a compatibility thing. They allow me to swap it out for a: EVGA GTX 980Ti Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ which I will get tomorrow. Fingers crossed that is going to work in my system.
