Recently upgraded GTX970 to 1080Ti and fitted it last night.
Running Windows 10 x64, wiped the current drivers and did a clean install of the latest ones.
PC running very very slow...even opening folders, browsing the webm moving the mouse; talking 1/2 second delay.
Something obviously up so...
Hi Guys,
Just bought the above on order no: OC3355576
Seen this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lp/asus-assassins-creed-origins.html
No code in box or packaging, long term customer here noticed the GPU wasn't in the usual OCUK packaging but the "direct from Asus" box.
(And no Hairbo :))
Can...
As above:
From reading about on the differences YES the new one has improvements, but aside specific use cases differences are....minimal.
Use current Ipad for general media consumption/ remote control for Roon music system...so larger screen is very much worth it. Not looking to use it...
Ive found Dell quality control not to be what it used to be tbh.
Had to return a couple of panels till I got one that was satisfactory...bad backlighting issues.
A (long!) description of my own experience having been in exactly the same position before.
3 monitors are fantastic, especially for work - you'll never look back.
I ran my PC as a 70/30 mix of work and gaming.
I work in Cad/3d modelling, graphic design and digital painting.
Had three...
I noticed I had to pump more volts into the CPU for less improvement...that's when the heat started becoming an issue.
Will look again and bumping it up when I have better cooling sorted.
The things blazing fast compared to how it was at 3.4Ghz stock, so all good.
Always good to get more speed...
Think I'll invest in a better air cooler to help me get *comfortably* up to 4.5+ Ghz...
Thinking the Noctua D-15 might be a good shout?
Anything better out there, dont want watercooling...
Really notice the improved responsiveness now running at 4.3Ghz, its great.
Big 3D models and...
Been overclocking today :)
Due to my less than brilliant cooling, for now Ive stopped at 4.3Ghz.
Stock volts for my chip was 1.26, bumped it up to 1.28 to get it stable at 4.3Ghz.
Idle temp is around 35, full load using Intel Burntest (standard) maxes iout at 79 on one of the cores.
OCCT temps...
Wee update:
Lapped both the CPU and the heatsink plate and sat back, turned on the power button and crossed my fingers...
Beforehand, ran OCCT and within a couple of minutes temps went to 90+ degrees.
After lapping and remounting the heatsink realised there was very obviously something wrong...
Thanks for all the questions ED!
* Fan/cooler was dust free (took Henry to it)
* Used pea/grain of rice method
* Case has reasonably good cooling..its a generic Antec, not sure which.
Airflow has ben worked out, should be sucking it through the CPU heatsink and out the back of the case...
