Thank you for your recommendations.
I am thinking about a 1070 atm. Also do you think the setup would be strong enough for the next few years considering how multithreaded the games
are becoming and myself investing such amount of money?
I have a 6 year old setup. i5 3570k @4.2 GHz, 16 GB Ram, asus p8z77-v, seasonic x560 and a 1080p monitor and a GT 730 DDR5. I plan to stay with this setup for now. Please recommend me the best GPU that I can pair it with the 3570k without bottlenecking.
Use the one from intel's website. It works fine provided u have select the corrected gpu driver.I have myself used. Asus does't update the newer drivers on their website.
I had the exact same problem some months ago and the psu was the culprit. system booted for half a second and then stopped. check the psu first with the paper clip test.
if yes

I guess asrock card does not require any power at all as seen from image.
The other one needs a floppy power connector though.
You could try updating the firmware of the optical drive if if arent on the latest.

Got the psu today.so far so good.Didnt had much time to play with it though.
rails at +12.19,+3.376,+5.040 at the current load levels.
So doez the asus anti surge protection actually work?
I guess it protected my system twice from failure as in both the cases the psu
was the culprit. I...
Its not at all for gaming, just for saving the odd office docs or any other imporatant work that I might
be doing.
Like the idea of a car battery but not so enthusiastic about, would like a proper ups:D
considering these things should I go with the 600va?
Sorry but I forgot to mention that I am having a separate ups for the monitor.
This new ups will be for the pc only(speakers excluding).
I dont have a gpu at the moment.Will 360w will be enough if I consider a 600va
after putting a mid range gpu like 760,660ti?
On z77 series boards , the mobo has a feature called multi core enhancement which runs all the
cores of a 3770k at 3.9 at turbo.The stock cooler is able to handle that. As for z87 I dont know
if that feature is still there.If it is just enable in the bios and u will get 3.9. no need to oc...
Thank you to all of you! thank a lot.This forum is really the best.
On a side note please recommend me a ups.
I have read about the waveform causing problems, more so about the wave form of ups.
but no idea about stabilizer .I feel it may be a sine wave since the source is the sine wave.
Ok so I will stop using the regulator from now on. My ups may also be the culprit.
please recommend me a ups as I dont want to use the old one. please have a look at the
link I provided above. I just want the ups for shutting down during power outages.
I know that the psu works from 100-240 v input. But the problem is during peak
hours the voltage goes down and the ups starts to work on battery since
ups has a range of about 140-240.so I had to use the regulator. Also they
regulator I use its considered one of the best in my country...
I use a automatic voltage regulator. Its output is 200-240 ± 5 volts.
The input range is 100- 290 volts. I use it because of low volts during
during peak hours at which the voltage falls to around 130-140v . Can
there be any problem using it?
yes previously, there were some ground problems.the
ground wire was burnt at a place while leading to the ground.
that may be a cause for ruining my 1st psu, but it was repaired after that.
the second psu was damaged within this month, dont know the cause for it.
but I think its my cheap...
update:
I will be receiving the x560 within this week.
I want to add a ups to the system as my previous cheap ups sometimes
gives me problems. which I should I look at? my rig is in the sig.
I dont have any gpu at the moment, but I would factor that as well.
I dont want high end, just to...
Really having a bad time with seasonic psus.

I dont have any spare parts atm. Sold my old parts.
Have to order a cheap psu for checking.
Should the fan run continuously or is it normal to just stop?
pc doesn't boot up any more.only the green light on the mobo stays on. When the power button is pushed, the cpu led and fan only turns on for a millisecond maybe and then off.
Took out the psu and did the paper clip test with a case fan as load.
As in the previous case the psu fan and the...
