Game is massively fun and addicting as D2 was. Up to level 35 or so on my DH and fighting through Nightmare.

I'm using a TRUE Black

I had to change my settings a bit since even though I was CPU stable for anything including days of folding, I would get random crashes when gaming. I am currently @ 4.4ghz...

No I meant +0.005v. I have now pushed my OC a bit further to 4.5ghz and I had to up the voltage offset to +0.030v which gives me a load voltage of 1.23v and load temps while folding@home of max of...

Update to my issue, I got an email support response from Asrock which was nice and they suggested a reinstall of Windows on a different drive to test. Well I went ahead and just reinstalled on my...

I lost some speed on AS SSD benchmark. :(

Here is my current OC while folding@home. It was suggested to me in another forum I should be able to push more if I enable LLC 2 and perhaps 1.9v to the PLL volts?

There has been a revelation, it appears to be something software based with DirectX being the main issue, I'll copy and paste my findings from another forum:



Edit: Ok, more info. I was able to...

I'm already at 4.4ghz with a TRUE Black and a single 120mm fan, so I don't see that being a problem. What may hold you back would be a terrible overclocking chip, but the average I'd imagine would...

i5 3570k: batch# 3210C023

air cooled with 1200rpm Cougar Vortex 120mm on a TRUE Black 120 with the 775 mounting setup.

4.4GHz and so far folding@home stable with max temp of 67C and 1.208v

I'm using the fancy new GUI version if that's what you mean. I even went as far as changing my DIMM slots from 1 3 to 2 4 but no dice. If you could forward it and see if maybe a new BIOS can be...

I have the latest 1.30 bios from here:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.us.asp?Model=Z77%20Extreme4&o=BIOS

Not sure what you mean by the latest UEFI. I've changed the PCI-E setting in the...

Yes, that is disabled. I even have all the iGPU settings disabled.

Well this exact setup worked with my previous system parts, the only thing which was swapped out was the motherboard and CPU (asrock z77 extreme 4 and i5 3570k). So would this be a compatibility...

I recently upgraded my motherboard and CPU from my phenom II X4 945 to an IvyBridge based system. Now either my system hard locks and loses display, or shuts down, or just spits out the following...

I might get one of these tomorrow (Extreme4) along with an IB cpu (haven't decided yet if 3770k or 3570k).

Here is my CFX 7870 Sapphire OC setup:

I'm definitely being help up by my CPU I'd wager.

I wonder if going from a 5830 to a 7850 would get me much of a boost. I figure it should help with at the very least applying high levels of AA which currently I can't depending on the game.

MSI Afterburner works fine on my ATI HD 5830, you just have to set it up.

I looked around and didn't see any new posts on this so thought I'd post it up and see if you guys with Bulldozer's get any actual speed increase from this hotfix.

Most aftermarket coolers use the 4 mounting holes + a backplate. I recently went from a Thermalright XP-90 which uses the black plastic frame, to a Thermalright TRUE Black which uses the stock AM3...

Sadly things have shifted towards consoles and PC's are starting to go the way of the dinosaurs. For instance, one of the biggest franchises for consoles is an fps and they have worldwide...

Rage to this point still doesn't work on my rig properly. Some bug with my 5830 not being recognized properly by any driver over 11.8 (tried 11.9 through 11.10 preview 3) and only get around...

I am now torn between what CPU to get. If these rumored clock speeds + prices come true, having a hard time deciding between a 4.2GHz quad vs a lower clocked 6 or 8 core. >_<

Obviously it would...

I'm still using a Logitech MX510, will probably keep using it till it croaks. Also the pad I'm using is a ratpadz, very solid mouse pad.

Thank's for the update. I use coretemp on both my Intel and AMD rigs. The main feature that attracts me to it is the ability to change the polling rate from 1000ms to 5000ms and the ability to...
