    Xenift got a reaction from tuk1maar in [Guide]Overclocking Monitor w/ Intel HD Graphics   
    Recently I had an issue where I was unable to bring out more than 60hz to my BenQ XL2411Z (HDMI). I have solved the problem and managed to get​ 73hz on the monitor. I would like to give an answer as a guide to people yet to solve this problem or do not know how to.
     
     
    PREREQUISITES
     
    A monitor capable of more than 60hz.
    A HDMI/DVI link from the computer to the monitor.
    (NOTE)
    If you want 120hz out of your pc, you need a graphics card with HDMI 1.4b and above.
    GTX 860m and above is compatible.
    ------------------------
    A computer with Intel HD Graphics running Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. (below)


    STEP 1
    Make sure the display name of your monitor corresponds to which port it is plugged in to.
    For example, if you plug in to HDMI then this will appear.

     
    If you are plugging in DVI, (Digital) should appear instead.
    If you wanted to overclock HDMI rather than DVI or the other way round, check your wire connections as well as the wire used.
    HDMI has no visible pins while DVI has many pins sticking out of it.

    Top left (VGA), Bottom left (HDMI) and right side is (DVI - Dual Link)
     
    STEP 2
    Open up Intel HD Graphics Control Panel by right clicking your desktop, then select graphics properties.
    Select DISPLAY. Then CUSTOM RESOLUTIONS. Click Yes.
     
    ON THE LEFT SIDE of the control panel, select the monitor in which you want to change the refresh rate of.
    A vast amount of configuration settings should appear and this is where you key in your settings to change the refresh rate.
     
    STEP 3 - Keying in the Values

    Key in the resolution you want your monitor to display, in my case i wanted 1920 by 1080. You can customize however you like here.
     
    Next would be the refresh rate, i suggest starting from increments of 5 hz till you reach 70hz and adding 1hz from 70hz onwards. (HDMI)  increment from 120hz if you are using DVI.
    To add this range of values, you have to add multiple custom resolutions, which means you have to enter the custom resolution section multiple times.
    In my case i ended up at 73hz,
     
     
    STEP 4 - TESTING THE OUTPUT 
    On the left, click on general settings, select the monitor you want to overclock. 
    Click on refresh rate drop down menu and you should see all the refresh rates you have keyed in from before.

     
    Staring from the lowest refresh rate you have inputed, one by one apply the settings while increasing the refresh rates. If you screen blanks out more than 5 seconds and you are not able to change the refresh  rate, you have found your maximum refresh rate.
    In my case my screen blanked out at 74hz. Which meant that my maximum refresh rate for my monitor was 73hz.
    I believe that if connected the HDMI to a DVI-DL adapter, you are able to get more than 120hz from the monitor.
     
    AND YES,
    you have successfully overclocked the monitor.

    Honestly, the choice making point would be how much would you fork out for storage.
    In no way will a WD Blue be crippled against a WD Black.
    Likewise, a toshiba drive will be cheaper, but not unusable for your application (nor a noticeable downgrade)
     
    Just snatch a good price off a discounted SDD/HDD and ur gud 2 go.
    No need to wreck your brain cells on this.

    Drivers should be always downloaded online, 1060 doesnt have SLI so no bridge.
    Im not surprised you forgot what it included, basically only the graphics card is important.

    Quick disconnects tends to reduce the connection in between causing poorer audio quality.

    Typically no, unless you manage to wreck the surface up pretty badly.
    As @Davidwr80 said, check your system temperatures.
    I advise you use temperatures of similar systems that you can find online to match.
    If the difference at gaming load is around 7-10% difference then i suggest getting a new paste.

    Xenift got a reaction from TacoSenpai in How do Multi-GPU setsups benefit Streaming?   
    There really isn't any benefit to it.
    If the source of the video output is from a console, then having 2 GPUs in SLI or XFire will not affect the quality or efficiency in which the data is streamed.
    More so i think the main reason is that more of a redundancy factor, like since you are already streaming might as well get a beast ass computer so you can stream on the computer if you need to. Sorta thing.
    Streamers are pretty rich .
  17. Agree
    Xenift reacted to TacoSenpai in How do Multi-GPU setsups benefit Streaming?   
    Yeah I figured as much because granted I have a decently powered rig and I've streamed on occasion and haven't had any issues.  As far as I've seen the actual capture hardware itself has a far greater impact.  Oh and of course the internet connection.

    You can't directly even if you wanted to.
    It would be a motherboard + cpu upgrade and as far as i know, the 6700k outperforms the 6850k in gaming when overclocked.

    Xenift got a reaction from M.A.P in ~$1500 PC Build, need input in final stages of ordering   
    Yes and No.
    Keeping your CPU temperature's at something like 60 Celsius has benefits such as longevity and stability in some cases. (As opposed to the 73-80 when using the stock wraith.)
    It's a matter of deciding certain tradeoffs, like the limited space you have in your case since h7 is a relatively large cooler.
     
    This is more apparent during overclocking, where temperatures on the wraith will almost always hit 88.

    Nice, this is exactly where I wanted the post to branch off into; you can see how much the price for that RAM fluctuates, It wasn't available to search last week when I was putting junk together. Also I purposely put my PSU at 500-550W; allowing for some freedom in upgrading parts and making sure it doesn't flip out with high loads. I agree though that an 80+gold is definitely preferred. $80 less on RAM is definitely something I should think about though.

    If you save alot of money then go for the lower speed ones.
    You'll never really see a huge difference between them anyways tbh.
     
    But if they're basically the same price why not go for the faster ones.

    You need a skylake chip to install the new bios in which allows you to use kabylake chips.
    Asus motherboards have a feature that let's you flash bios without a cpu, would look up on that if the issue is the price range.
