    4690k capped after RAM upgrade?

    Well.. this is odd. I tried setting a multiplier of 44 vs 45 and guess what - it booted up and now CPU is at 4.4Ghz. Everything eles in BIOS is stock settings, excpet for 1.25 on CPU and 1.15 on the one below that. Guess I found the golden middle, factoring RAM differences.

    4690k capped after RAM upgrade?

    No, I have all 4 sticks in - matched to A/B channel between the two sets. I am cautious of trying the higher voltage as it first of all, does not boot, and when I took the 1.5v rated sticks out they were quite warm from low load. I tried the trick of using only old/new RAM and it seemed to...

    4690k capped after RAM upgrade?

    That's what I thought, but trying it with the new RAM I was not able to boot with 1.65. I both channels are using XMP settings, but if I set both to 2133 11-11-11-27 there is no boot. Maybe I need to refresh myself with overclocking this setup again, but struggling to find any guides that are...

    4690k capped after RAM upgrade?

    Hi all, I've installed two new RAM sticks and it works, however, now my CPU is capped at 3.89Ghz (3.9Ghz I guess) no matter what I enter for multiplier in BIOS. Before it was stable at 4.5Ghz with 1.25v Of course, the RAM is mismatched, but only in voltage. Everything is as near as seems to...

    EVGA RMA support.

    That's amazing. Though maybe part of the reason such incredible RMA stories are not shared more, is that people don't wanna advertise this kind of stuff and inadvertently shooting other users' expectations sky high. Either way, congratulations.

    Z97-A sharp crackle when connecting audio out

    Hi all, just a quick one. Whenever I connect headphones or speakers the onboard sound wants to calibrate (I guess) and emits a really sharp spike of sound at full volume. It's not the best when wearing headphones. Does anyone know what it actually is and if there is a way to stop it...

    Any FPS like oldschool, without aiming with right mouse button?

    Just searched for the game, watched a gameplay video and ended up buying it! It looks intense and the exact antidote to a lot of recent titles.

    You wake up and find yourself in the last game you played; how well do you fare?

    GTA IV - I have a controller for driving and a mouse for aiming. The traffic can be annoying, but I'm a slav playing a slav and I can squat in game.

    Gaming Hardware Needs to Grow Up

    I'm not one for LEDs and don't understand the obsession of manufacturers with them lately. However, I think one assumption all non RGB LED lovers have is that it's to be used in a tasteless, pointless way just for the sake of it. Having looked through this thread, I kind of changed opinion a l...

    Permanent Bans For Cheating In The Division

    Well, I don't have to put thought into it. I liked the game a lot and there is nothing more to it. This for once was a "next gen" game that felt engaging to play and the environments and attention to detail really took it to the next level.

    Permanent Bans For Cheating In The Division

    Agree. A better way to put it would be: what they have is a fuck up on that part and it could be excused at a lower severity, but what happened is simply an oversight (unlikely) and most likely they had to focus resources on other areas of the game instead. I genuinely liked the game through...

    Permanent Bans For Cheating In The Division

    Glad to see them finally take this hard line. Granted, silly, but you have to factor that it's Ubisoft's first game of this nature. Not sure I will go back into it that much as it became a grind which was no fun and the PVP is biased to more hardcore players. Casual play does not give you the...

    Hyperglide on FK1?

    Just after tips for Zowie FK1 skates mounting. Have gone through 2 sets of Hyperglide feet in the space of two weeks, trying to stick them on but with each set there was some rocking - would be due to the feet being stuck on unevenly, I doubt it's to do with the feet themselves. As careful as I...

    Why are we not impressed by modern graphics?

    It's more about the graphical style. Simply throwing "MOAR GRAPHICS" at games does not make them look better. It's a combination of the aesthetic. I still think HL2 looks amazing, as does ME - it is simply an aesthetic dream, realised. Original Ghost Recon still looks very good - the...

    Zowie FK1 rocking on LMB press?

    Zowie FK1 rocking on LMB press?

    Hi people, having had the mouse for a while and really liking it, as strange as it sounds, I think a rocking has developed when I press the LMB on the extreme left. Now it did not happen before and seems to happen with much less force required for the left side vs the same situation but on...

    GTX 970 unstable core frequency

    I thought that but it's retarded that it's not compensated for in the design. It's like moving less because you ate a lot to compensate for the extra energy taken by the digestion process. :(

    GTX 970 unstable core frequency

    Rolled back drivers to 361.34 and the same thing. Funny thing is, when fan is on Auto, the boost is higher and more stable (in frequency). If I set it to 100% manual, core is about 80hz lower and the voltage does not go as high as on Auto fan. There has to be something up here.

    GTX 970 unstable core frequency

    Thank you all for the replies! I was just worried that I might have overstressed the GPU during that unsuccessful OC and it was impacting the core clock at boost. Having just played a bit more Siege, it's stable for majority of the time, with tiny fluctuations of ~26 at max boost of 1512 and...

    GTX 970 unstable core frequency

    Hi all, I've tried an OC and the GPU driver crashed - think I tried about 1560Mhz on the core, so I went back to stable previous, restarted and did a clean reinstall of drivers. Since then I can't get a stable core frequency in games whilst using my safe OC settings - about 1507 Mhz...

    Report: Galaxy S7 Will Cost More Because It Has An Iris Scanner

    Would be good to get the software right first Samsung. Why the hell does the os have to be modified? Imagine pc vendors doing that shit? Sure if there is added functionality, but most phone brands just fuck up an otherwise light and snappy os.

    >/=75Hz 24" 1080p IPS?

    Just got the monitor! It's huge! Absolutely huge! It's has great responsiveness, but now I notice motion blur instead... I think there will be a period of getting used to the sheer size of the monitor, perhaps in some way the size exaggerates blur. I might just be one of those CRT...
