  1. BF4 is a very CPU intensive game, such as any other game that has to load such large maps and textures.
  2. I have a problem with overclocking my 970 g1 gaming. For some reason anytime I try to push the card any further from it's stock clock, any form of game or benchmark will crash. Is it possible that this is happening because of my CPU (Core I5 4460)? Or is it possible because of my cheap 650w power supply?
  3. I've said the same thing to others having the same problem. It might very well be a dying stick of ram so try removing a stick (while your computer is off) and see the results. It also could be your graphics card not getting enough power from the power supply although it's still rare that happens. So backing down the stock clock speeds and voltage from you gpu. (I recommend using MSI afterburner). It's also a good idea to make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date
  4. I have had problem like this multiple time before, it's usually caused by my Graphics drivers either not up to date or I might have something installed on the computer that might be interrupting everything so take some time and have a look around your operating system and your SSD/hard drive.
  5. Try downloading an overclocking program like MSI afterburner and bring the stock clocks of the GPU down to like half at first and look at the data to see if you are getting any thermal throttling
  6. It could be a dying stick of RAM. even if it's brand new it happens
  7. I recommend downloading "MSI afterburner" and use the fan controller on there to test out the fans. If they are not responsive i recommend calling the manufacturers customer support
  8. It very well could be a dying stick of ram because i have had the same problem before
  9. So a while ago I was in the market for my first high quality over-ear headset for around $150. Actually that's a bit of a lie because my first decent gaming headset were turtle beach px21 which were pretty good for $60 at best buy but we will leave those out for this review. And in case you were wondering, I am using this headset to listen to music while I am writing this review at my school. Now we have to remember that these are not studio monitors so you are not going to get a flat frequency sound signature. These are meant to be an all-around gaming headset for your average PC or ps4 gamer. Let's start with the outside. Well first off they are a very attractive headset and that is partly due to the "old school" helicopter pilot design some would say with Razer's own little twist. The construction on the headband is metal which is solid enough that it won't break but at the same time it's not crushing your head. The sides are made of rigid plastic to cover the drivers and the cord is rubber with a 3.5mm jack on the end but do not fear PC users because there is a headphone and microphone splitter out of the box for expanded compatibility. Also the headband and ear cups are memory foam but it’s not very dense so I’m not too sure as to how long it might last. In the box you also get a little plug that is used for the detachable microphone which honestly isn’t the best quality like any other headset, if you were game streaming I would recommend something more like the blue yeti. And actually one of the best parts of the headset is that you can detach the mic because that allows me to use these on a daily basis without looking like an idiot. Now let’s get to the sound quality which was actually surprising. So I have been using this headset for gaming and daily use for about a year now for day to day gaming use and music listening. Now for most of my gaming I was using Razer surround which is a virtual 7.1 Dolby surround driver that takes over you exiting driver on you computer and amps up the base and changes the speaker settings from stereo to 7.1 surround and the rest of the spec of this program you can find on Razer’s website. I will say that the feeling was fantastic in any game I played. The surround sound really came in handy playing games like Arma 3 and Counter strike Hearing all the helicopters and footsteps all around me I was all around impressed with the performance of just virtual 7.1 surround sound. Now music listening is very much the same story. I’m a bit of a bass head myself and these headphone satisfy. I wouldn’t call it beats by Dre bass levels just because if you try to max out your bass in your computers audio settings, it does get cut-off quite often so I just recommend leaving the stock bass settings because even that is still enough to rock your head with some good dubstep. Although I wouldn’t use the world “clear” around these headphone because that’s not really not best way to describe them. For example I use Sony Vegas for editing my YouTube videos and some things are partly muffled and hard to hear just because of the amount of bass. But again, for music listening it’s just the right amount. Another great thing about the music listening experience is there is plenty of highs and mids so over all a very balanced music listening experience. So… final thoughts. Overall a great headset compared to much expensive options and I Highly recommend this option
  10. Here is my build for around $1500 from what i remeber Core i5 4460 EVGA GTX 960 FTW 2gb Gigabyte H97-D3H 16gb HyperX Fury RAM Corsair mid tower case (can't remember the model) All on windows 7 pro
  11. I had some fun playing Borderlands 2 on my pc with my buddy and we finished the story line however the game isn't really my play style plus i got bored of it after my buddy started hacking
  12. Have you considered bringing down your stock clocks on you gpu? You might even have a dying stick of RAM
