  1. Well I want to fix the coil whine issue but I don't want to limit the performance of the card, hence why I chose undervolting so that I can lower the power without lowering the performance. The issue right now is I don't know if I've reduced the performane of the card or not. Why do people undervolt at 800mv and not more or less?
  2. So I've got a few questions since I can't seem to find much related to this card online in terms of undervolting and what not. My gtx 1080 has the dreaded coil whine. It crossed my mind to try undervolting the card so it requires less power which would reduce the intensity of the coil whine that I can hear. I downloaded afterburner and I set the voltage to 800mv, with a frequency of 1700MHZ at that voltage. The card performs well, and doesn't increase in temp above 56c. Does that mean I've undervolted it? The coil whine has gone down, but I'm worried in case I've limited the performane of the card and not atually just undervolted it? Any ideas? I can post my graph in after burner if needed
  3. I'm a bit confused, is there 2 versions of the corsair rm750x? I thought there's only one? I have 2 of them, one is shorter than the other, so I'm wondering what the difference is? Here's a picture of what I mean:
  4. any idea why the box says minimum 500w? is that just to be on the safe side or whats the idea behind that number?
  5. rm550x https://www.corsair.com/uk/en/Categories/Products/Power-Supply-Units/Power-Supply-Units-Advanced/RMx-Series/p/CP-9020177-UK
  6. I've been reading left and right about what the minimum PSU for the gtx 1080 is. On the box it says minimum 500w, on the internet it ranges anywhere from 380 to 600 so i'm really not sure. as of now, I have a 550W corsair psu, would that be enough? The cpu is a 4770k, overclocked to 4ghz. I tried the coolermaster power calculator and it say 460 watts or something so I'm lost right now.
  7. Yeah me neither, theres just a bit of resistance to the screws you know, doesnt seem as smooth as say screwing a hard drive to the case for example, but I guess if people are saying it's fine then I guess it's fine ?
  8. I've tried screwing the screws directly into the psu without the case and it still feels the same. What do you guys mean by untapped? Like they need a bit of effort to properly tighten them on? The bottom right screw also seems to hit a piece of plastic behind it when I screw it all the way, I think its plastic shielding or something. Is that normal?
  9. I'm trying to install this psu in my case but the holes for the screws at the back feel tight when I try to screw in the screws that came with the power supply so any idea? The screws thread about half way before requiring a good amount of force to screw them on all the way. I've attached a picture, maybe I'm screwing the screws in the wrong holes?
  10. Yeah, it does look like one of those unbranded ones that's thrown in the pc case for filler. The motherboard I'm using is this: It supports the i7-4770k but I just wanted to double check before splashing out on a new PSU
  11. Hi guys, I've got an i7-4770k installed, I'm using the on board graphics of the motherboard, don't have any led's in the system, 1 sata 5.4k rpm hard drive, and I was wondering what the minimum PSU wattage needed is? The case comes with a 240w PSU, would that be enough or do I need to upgrade it? I've had a look around but everyone is using an external graphics card while I'm not.
  12. Isn't your cpu under volted tho so it uses less power?
  13. So you got a $409 discount on that laptop for black friday? Damn, I wonder if they'll do similar deals here in the uk
  14. Just wondering if it's possible to find an i7 7700hq laptop for around £700? I've seen something like the dell inspiron gaming get close but that was £779, anyone got any ideas?
  15. Ohh damn, that's actually worrying as hell. I thought the "u" prefix on processors meant they were really underpowered compared to those with "HQ"? 7% seems like there's virtually no difference
  16. Ohh they are U processors tho so not that powerful for what I'm looking for compared to a 7700hq for example. Thanks tho!
  17. Wait hang on lol, the 1060 in the 7577 isn't a normal 1060? god damn it, so that essentially means I'm only getting a slight improvement over having a 1050ti
  18. Ohh I see I see, Personally, I'd rather have a one machine does all kind of thing going on but I know that's not always possible and so on. But lol I can't deny, your current gaming setup is pretty insane.
  19. Yeah, Pretty steep price but if you're someone who needs it and is gonna use it then it makes sense.
  20. That is actually pretty clever! Also removes the risk of you getting a chip that's not as good since you know the potential of your chip before buying it.
  21. Damn that's some pretty intensive stuff man. I actually just found out the other day about the whole silicone lottery thing. Didn't know people go through them and list ones that can be overclocked lol, Everything's a business these days.
  22. What I wanna know is does he utilize that 5.1Ghz or is it just for aesthetics purposes lol
