  1. I found out that there is also the option for a Corsair Vengeance 2100. What do you think?
  2. So I got some credit at a local electronics store and these are the most expansive headsets I can get from them. Which one would you recommend me pick?
  3. Yes, there is a review about it. But I recommend you use Google Chrome translate function. I apologize for the late reply. Here is the link: http://www.tecmundo.com.br/fonte/74899-pcyes-fabricante-brasileira-fontes-supera-evga-corsair-testes.htm
  4. But judging by the information I provided you, what do you think?
  5. It is actually a brazilian manufacturer, not really well known worldwide. It is an Electro 600w, from PCYes.
  6. 600w PSU, dual 12v rail, 27A each. 15 mV Ripple, 84,6% efficiency, being 80 plus bronze certified. So, how well can it handle a single reference model GTX 770?
  7. So this morning I turned on my PC after using it with no problems the night before. The problem is that no display was coming out of the graphics card, and its green LED on the side (It is a reference model GTX 770) was turned on, which was off when the card was working properly. Since then, I have been trying to get it to work, and sometimes I can, with the display output coming either from a display adapter or from the gpu itself. When it boots using the display adapter, reinstalling the nvidia drivers works, but only after an immediate restart. My conclusions are that there are no problems with the graphics card itself, since the motherboard integrated video output does not work as well. Does anyone have any idea of what that problem might be? I would be really grateful if someone could help me. If more information is needed just let me know. Thanks in advance
  8. So when my temperatures are about to exceed 68 degrees it will lower the performance so the temperatures can stay below the limit?
  9. I have a reference model GTX 770, and while gaming, I used to get around 80 degrees. So I installed MSI Afterburner and messed around with the settings, leaving the temperature limit to 68 degrees and the power limit to 100%, just as the fan speed to 50% when load. I'm getting some pretty nice temperatures, hovering around 68-69 max. What I wanna know is: Is leaving the temp limit to 68 degrees while the power limit still being 100% doing my GPU any bad? If anyone could explain to me how using 100% of the GPU and still getting good temperatures is possible, I would thankful as well.
  10. So my reference model GTX 770 finally got back from the RMA. Really happy. Therefore, to avoid it stopping working again(overheating I think) I set the fan speeds to 45%. I really don't mind the tiny louder noise, but I've heard that it can reduce the fan's lifetime. Does it get too reduced? Can anyone inform me how long does the fan approximately live at the speed I mentioned?
  11. So, I live in a really hot and humid city. I've got that I5 4670k at stock 3.4GHz, just because I don't like the downsides of overclocking. When idle, at night, it hits something between 25 and 32 degrees. When over load, playing games, it comes close to 60 degres, between 55 and 60. Are these temperatures safe? Or is it getting too hot? What should be my ideal temperatures?
  12. So my graphics card ran into a problem, and while it is on RMA, I have been using that ''Intel HD Graphics 4600'' that is built in with my Core I5 4670K. I've watched a lot of benchmarks on Youtube with that chipset that were made using Core I7's and they were a lot better than the ones I am getting with my I5. Is it really faster on I7's or is there something wrong with my rig?
  13. Yes, my CPU 8 pin power connector is plugged in, as well as the motherboard power connector. The HD audio connector, the little cables, the USB and the SATA ports are all on as well.
  14. So I just upgraded my PC case, bought that Cooler Master HAF 912. My PC had been previously built by a profissional. I am kind of a big enthusiast, so I tried to install the components on the new case by myself. As far as I know, I did everything right: Connected all the cables right (Except the Case fans, I did not plug these ones) and placed everything correctly. But when trying to turn it on, I just doesn't seem to receive any kind of power. Yes, all the components are working, I tested them all before starting the process. Since this is the first time I build a PC by myself, I must have done something wrong. Could any of you guys tell me something I might have done wrong? Or anything I could do to check if the problem is with any of my hardware? And by the way, my rig is the following: MSI G45 Z87, I5 4670K Stock, WD Blue HD, Crucial M5000 120GB ssd and a Corsair CX 750W PSU.
