  1. Just sort the processes by CPU usage from highest to lowest and read the description to see what they are. If they aren't something that your OS needs to run, kill it. Worst case scenario you crash your windows and just need to reset the PC.
  2. I would get something from Seasonic, even their "lowest end" power supplies are quite good.
  3. Are you sure it's stable? How long did you run the test for? 10mins? I only consider something to be stable if it doesn't bluescreen in a 24hr stresstest
  4. Is it possible to post your full specs (including overclocks)? It'll make it easier to diagnose your problem. I'm thinking that there could be a bottleneck or you didn't clean install your driver.
  5. IF you can grab a GTX 1060 at launch with the MSRP that nvidia is suggesting then that would fit your budget fine. But if the launch is anything like the 1070/80, the price is gonna be jacked up because of the supply/demand. If you need a GPU right away you could consider getting a RX 480 unless you get snag a 1060.
  6. Planing to upgrade my sister's rig, still running a GTX 560 and a core 2 duo in that thing. Would be nice to get it I guess, saves me money lol
  7. Consult your manual for where the ram goes, but usually it's every other slot, but look at your manual to make sure.
  8. CPU: i5-4690k GPU: GTX 1080 Founder's edition GPU Core: 2100mhz GPU Memory: 12000mhz Score: 6876 3DMark Link: http://www.3dmark.com/spy/27339 #1 in my bracket, for now... Also why is 3dmark showing that my GPU core is running at 600mhz lol Edit: Edited to the right format (also rip #1 spot)
  9. No Idea if my score is good or not lol http://www.3dmark.com/spy/22979 GTX 1080 i5-4690k Score: 6661 Graphics Score: 7632 CPU Score: 3872 Edit: Managed to push a little more out of my GPU http://www.3dmark.com/spy/27339 Score: 6876 Graphics Score: 7916 CPU Score: 3943 Also Can anyone tell me why the benchmark thinks that my GPU is running at 600mhz lol
  10. Can there be a "neither one" option , I just use the one that came with my windows.
  11. Does it need to be ATX? If it doesn't you could probably use this microATX board: http://www.ncix.com/detail/asus-h110m-e-m-2-lga1151-ddr4-m-2-8d-133009.htm Or any H170 board would work as they all cost about $20 from each other.
  12. I only hit 61c with my 4690k @ 4.8ghz with 1.38v so It does seem like your temps are kind of high. Maybe your block is not seated properly, try reinstalling it to see if that help. Also try using a different amount of TIM, maybe that would help to.
  13. I would recommend the CoolerMaster Nepton 280L but I don't think they sell this in the US. (But if you can find one) It will outperform the x61 a little bit. But if your willing the lap the cold plate on the cooler it will out perform most AIOs of the same size. (I don't know why CoolerMaster didn't just machine the cold plate to be smoother)
  14. IntelBurnTest and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. I usually run the IBT on the veryhigh preset for 10 passes (although if you can get through 5 it should be stable) and then I run ETU for about 24hrs. If it can get through those tests then it's pretty much rock stable. (I hope you cpu is under water if you choose to use IBT, or you'll hit 100c easily on your first pass)
  15. On your gpu overclock, set your power limit to the max. I don't know if that would remove the stutter, but it will increase your stability on your gpu overclock.
  16. A smaller manufacturing node, allows you to increase the amount of transistors set in a limited area and it also allows for better efficiency so it uses less power. eg. when Haswell's 22nm went to skylakes 14nm (poor broadwell, forever forgotten) the smaller node allowed a lower tdp. We didn't see much of an performance increase from Haswell to Skylake was because instead of putting more transistors down they decided to go for efficiency.
  17. Depends on the currency, if its $430 CAD then it's a okay deal.
  18. It's been working perfectly fine for me and the text they use for the onscreen display is cleaner then the one in MSI afterburner (imo). But some people reported problems with it like OC scaner crashing and freezing up the PC. I guess you can try it out and if it glitches out for you can switch to something else.
  19. If your using an Nvidia card, you could try to use EVGA's PrecisionX.
  20. Actually, the prices makes sense if you convert them from CAD to USD. The RX 480 actually cost less on your list then the USD MSRP, and plus the CAD is pretty weak right now we have less buying power since 2014.
  21. Most people actually prefer optical sensors to laser sensors because of mouse acceleration (My info might be outdated and maybe they fixed the problem). But with optical seniors is that they might not work on every surface so you might need a mouse pad to have it perform optimally. Also for a mouse recommendation, the Mionix Castor is pretty awesome. Probably the best wired mouse I've ever used, but the best wireless mouse (if you had an unlimited budget) is the Logitech G900 Chaos spectrum hands down (but your gonna have to pay an arm and leg for it, you can buy 2 Mionix Castors and still have change left over).
  22. Just use displayport, its a better interface anyway.
  23. I'm pretty sure the Wattman is only available for the RX 480. Older cards still gonna use overdrive. From the Wattman page on AMD
  24. Unless it's HDMI 2.0, no. ( But I think HDMI 1.3 Also supports 120hz @ 1080p but don't quote me on that one)
