dropping back to defult settings actiually impacted my boot time noticably lol. well if it crashes again il know its the GPU, i did push it further then i had actiually tested it working, but GPU boost 3.0 is a bitch and i hate it and it just does whatever the heck it wants so i havent got much of a clue of what its running at. was at 2088MHz when i set it initially but i pushed it further during the benchmark battle and it hasent thrown me any artifacts
