G-1400

Hello guys, I just have a question about updating from really old bios to the most recent one directly. My friend found a steal deal for for new Asus maximus VIII hero in black Friday sales, but he found that it has a old bios version -in the 200s- and he had some issues with it, specially that uses a Kabylake CPU. Is it OK to just flash the newest stable update -in 3000s- or it's better to update gradually? Thanks in advance

thank you all for your fast response <3

the RX 480 sounds as a good deal

hello I'm just here to ask an advice for my friend. is there a good card for 1080p @ 60Hz gmaing? anything good below 200$? thank you

thanks guys will take your advice into consideration

thanks for your suggestion how much ram is enough? 4GB?

the cpu cooler malfunctioned causing to kill the cpu there were no gpu power supply 100 watt still ok 2 GB of ram still ok

Saudi Arabia (he can order over eBay. it doesn't that much)

hello my friend's 5 y/o computer died few days ago and he needs a one for replacing it he wants it for gaming (nothing crazy mostly overwhatch, rocket league, LoL ... etc) and MS office work is there is any advice for a good build that can run those games "smoothly" under 400$? (including OS) thanks in advance & sorry for bad English

thank you very much guys

I'll do this just in case my maximums OC gone wrong in some way but for now I'll keep it on the max

I think i've already reach it all what i could do is increasing memory clock 25 MHz more which did nothing any more in core or mem will cause crashes and restart of the card

I think i found a stable clock around 2100 MHz (+135 core, +850 memory, +75% voltage) after 1 hr of heaven: clock: max 2100.5 MHz av 2088 MHz GPU temp :63-64 C @ 45% fan speed (AC off) 58-59 C @ 33% fan speed (AC on) tried playing these games max sittings (10 min each) the Witcher 3 1080p: 60-119 FPS (av 79) Dark Souls 3 1440p: Stable 60 FPS ME shadow of mordor 4K : stable 60 FPS Batman Arkham Knight 1080p: stable 90 with some weird lag on start then every thing is OK and for my benchmark results I've used heaven an valley before: http://imgur.com/i2YELeJ http://imgur.com/bZICaHK after: http://imgur.com/77HbErG http://imgur.com/MjKq6JK is everything is OK? do you think that I need push it more? since I still have temp and voltage room or accept the results i have so far? Sorry for my English

thank you all I've watch both videos an already started testing .. I may give you the results today but I just want to be sure about something.. how much time do I need to run the GPU stress test (heaven, valley...etc) to say that I have a "stable clock"?

Hello Specs: CPU: Intel i7 6700 (non-K) GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 MoBo: Asus Maximus VIII Ranger Ram: 16GB, Corsair 2400 MHz Storage: Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD PSU: Corsair CX750 is this system capable for overclocking? and What do i need to overclock my GPU? is VGA - XTREME ENGINE and heaven benchmark enough? thanks in advance and sorry for my English
