    GM_Peka got a reaction from PaincakesX in Best Thermal Compound?   
    Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is easily the best these days. There isn't much difference between decent paste and good paste, but if you want the best, Kryonaut is just that.

    Is that excluding post time? Cause I'm pretty sure that motherboard alone should take 5 seconds to post.

    I think the dude who mentioned it sounded more closed off, I don't think he meant actual sound leakage, he meant how they actually sound to the user who's listening.

    Even if you some how got it to work using DX11, what benefit do you think it'd give, it would probably be detrimental if anything.

    Binning is the process of testing the stability of a chip, then setting the more stable chip that reach higher frequencies into a different pile, and selling them at a higher price with higher clocks usually.
     
    Intel and AMD do this with all their CPU's, an unstable/lower binned cpu might be sold as a i5-6500, whereas a higher binned product might be turned into a i5-6600 or even an i7 etc, etc.

    Try that. If it works, great!. If it doesn't then try the last driver that was working good for you.
     
    Although if you're trying to force AA or other settings that could be causing the Cinebench error.

    On the Skylake flatform, higher speed RAM has been show to make a minor difference, and in some rare cases, performance has sky rocketed with faster RAM, such as with Fallout 4 and Ryse Getting about a 35% frame increase from faster RAM alone.

    (RAM speed comparison inside video)
     
    For the small price premium of faster RAM, there's not much reason against it.

    Maybe if you use a pair of ear plugs I guess, I'm just saying this from my own personal experience when I used to own a 8350. I guess it just doesn't really live up to my standard.
     
    Stock Intel coolers on Intel chips however, I've had no problems with.

    Oh yeah, I should mention, that motherboard you picked out is pretty overkill, you'll get along just as well on boards 70% it's price. Such as the Asus z170-Pro or the Asus Z170-A

    You get all 5 previous fallout games, and all their dlc for $20.
     
    Check the locations,
    it is region locked to not be accessible in the following regions
    Russian Federation, Poland, India, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon.
     
     
    If I didn't have nv and 3 already, then I'd really hop on this, they're all pretty solid games and its an amazing deal.

    GM_Peka got a reaction from AdamPinnock in Funky Afterburner Voltage Slider   
    I can't be bothered trying to explain anymore, but MSi afterburner is working as it should, and the voltage is working as it should, the voltage can only go up in steps (what I revered to as profiles), you cannot go up to say 1.205v because a GPU boost profile doesn't exist for that voltage. When you increase the voltage, you are just increasing the voltage limit.

    GM_Peka got a reaction from AdamPinnock in Funky Afterburner Voltage Slider   
    It's because GPU Boost 2 works in voltage/clock steps that are pre defined.
     
    ie. 1.187v = 1386mhz, 1.2v = 1400mhz, 1.218v = 1412mhz (examples)
     
     
    When you set core frequency offset, you are adding or taking away from these clock profiles.
     
    Increasing the voltage allows you to go to a higher voltage/clock profile, effectively increasing your voltage limit before you throttle down from hitting temp target.
     
    Overclocking with GPU boost is nothing like with overclocking 500 series and prior cards.

    Touching a plugged in PSU grounds you, it's not as if touching it is going to send 230 volts into your board and destroy it.
