My pc is running slow. not sure why . My specs : i5-3570k oc-4.8ghz GTX 970 g1 oc Asus p8z77-v_lk (1155 socket) 16gb ram 1600mhz ddr3 (corsair) Win 10-64 bit (home) SSD Sandisk 480gb (new) HHD WD Black 4tb (new) Firefox . did DL the 64bit (if it is tho im not sure pfft) 50.1.0 Custom water loop. 3 rads Are yeah so games runnig fine as id expect with this system ,while on firefox each page wants to reload ,takes time to load . Internet speed 100mb down 2bm up. 10-20 ping. Say if i want to click on something i have to wait for it to let me click on it .like an emote on twitch for eg: each tab re loads up. my benchmarks seem fine. done a ram check with-in windows found no issues with in the log it said it's fine. Now did notice as i did have my ram oc to 1800mhz that if i put it back down to 1600mhz it would run fine then glitch back to pausing again. So now im like ok what's causing this to happen. It's only a web browser it uses while on up to 40%( rarely it will go to 50%) - or lower if im on google only 1-2 % . ( ive been told 30% is normal ) this i know. Now ill mention this is a new formatt on the system im only on 1080p - 60hz . What are things i should be looking into to make certain that my hardware is fine. should i take out all but 1 ram stick sus it out then the next and so on. ? i can do that no issues . run the ram as an under clock to 1333mhz. ive put BIOS to Defaults then ran even tryed out XMP oc mode let the MB do it. Thanks in advance.

Was going to sleep ,looked at a few builds mehh seen it all b4 ,This ok im awake holy cow man this is amazing work well done ,hope the next build is just as amazing. Keep up the great work and also man Congrats on the 2 awards.

Mainly planet coaster gta v the stuttering or screen tear . Overall im thinking of a x99 system now . 6 cores 12 threads . sounds good to me then later on a 1070. in planet coaster i pull up a menu, say paths menu do my thing with it then frames rates drop very low. im not sure ay (i know gpu) im thinking the caps on my MB could be coming to an end .Who knows the MB is over 5yrs old now with the PC turned on 24/7 only gets turned of when im cleaning it. That's a long duration. It's held up remarkably well. I only game on 1080p 60hz .So im thinking that things should be running a lot better then what they should be . Surely that now im gonna go with a x99 system things should improve. and thus the fact ill be streaming soon with OBS. With lots of things with in the scenes as well. that by it self takes up 20-30% cpu . Hope this helps an again thank you.

Ok some progress thank you. Delidded >? stock tim ? please tell me is that taking the lid of it then placing own thermal paste (if so ill never do this) tho bios hacking a GPU yes. . Ok now i under stand what you all are saying . So ok then how about i go x99 with a i7 6800K 6 core 12 threads so x99 system not z170.

R ok so my Planet Coaster game maxes my CPU @4.8ghz. Firefox uses 30% by it's self. And i feel like treating my self to a NON super upgrade. older games run fine newer tittles play crap. Tho still playable. Ok so, even with thee extra : 4 threads on the cpu an extra 1400 mhz on the ram it's DDR4 Higher Chip Set . All that means squat ? does it. it's gotta be better like cmon guys. Remember i said now NON super upgrade . b4 i had this i had : q9450 4gb ram LGA 775. Ok let me as you this if i can notice an upgrade from 2xgtx 660's to 1 gtx 970 .For me it felt like double. But this is just me. P.S. im not by any chance having a go, kinda sounds like it tho im not. Thanks again.

Ok this is what i have : i5 3570k Asus P8Z77- LK 16gb 1600mhz corsair ram. Right so if i get this Z170 MB and the i7 6700K also 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 @ 3000MHz How much of a noticeable difference will i see. Also i think the i5 3570k is starting to not handle new type of games i throw at it. Oh side question with win 10, it's activated tho will it be deactivated with the new stuff i put in ? this is a question that has got me god smacked since it binds with youre gear. My srs thought on that is if it's already activated it should stay ? . Anyway is it worth $883 oh that's Aus Dollar. Thanks in advance ,you guys always do the best and im very appreciative about it. Any questions let me know.

Right so, my goal is to slowly add and fill the case .Next step will be a EK-CoolStream SE 360 (pending) . im going to be grabbing this and it's a year now so ill flush the system out and refill it. Later on and so forth add another EK-CoolStream SE 360 then add a EK CoolStream SE 120 But not sure on it the SE 120 .I may leave that out. So all im doing is adding over time. Plus it's something for me to fondle with while on X-Mass holidays.

Ok 1st the list of parts inside my case : (it's been up and running for a year now) - EK-Supremacy EVO - EK CoolStream SE 480 - EK-CoolStream XE 240 - EK-CoolStream SE 360 (pending) - EK-FC970 GTX WF3 - Nickel Water Block - EK-DDC 3.2 PWM Elite Edition - EK-RES X3 150 - Soft Tubing. So with all this would i need another pump ? as im not 100% sure if the flow of coolant / distilled water is enough . well circulation .you know what i mean. If i get the (pending) would i need another pump. that's all and thank you.

Quick question .Well all i want to do is make a list i can edit . Of all the PC Parts i have ,as a spreed sheet or something save it then go back into it when i need to . like how many EK 90 dregee fittings . so on kinda like this Column name | part | how many next line. any ideas . And thanks.

I advise you to run Display Driver Uninstaller it's a program that will remove all nvidia drivers ,2nd try another port on the back or each gpu and or try another cable. Best of luck.

Think the same size of youre pinky nail ,do like method this is what i do and for years have never had an issue. each to there own method some do (X) some do (.) method all up to you.

This matter is resolved ,was a faulty unit dikd a report to logitech warranty took it back to store and received a new 1 so far so good feels better as well very responsive and no more non responsive paddle shifters .

Hey guys just got a new wheel for my iracing sim .here is a vid on some 1 with the exact issue. what do i do throw it out in the bin ? frustration is on a high here. $499 not happy.

you have a 560 ,what ever you get it will be a solid upgrade .i use to have 2x660's then i got 1 970 noticed straight away a more solid gaming eperience .Im not saying get the 970 or get anything .All im saying is you will be wowed by how much better it will be coming from a 560 .So have fun get what ever you want not what i have or any 1 says .youre cash youre choice .

If nothing works for you in the next hr or so back everything up (every 1 has has/her own way) then re-install windows .It's the last resort but hell ive even had to do this once in my life of windows .Tho windows 10 has been good to me i must admit and my MB is over 8yrs old i think. could delete all known items of the driver then uninstall the webcam as well .Then install cam 1st then audio driver .Or even try out windows mixer and click properties and see if Listen to this device is checked . it can be as simple as that as some driver do take over on some audio i know this a fact tho every PC works in it's own way .So it's test and see kinda of a deal .Best of luck.

for me i 4k projector with short throw and extremely low input lag times .also when it comes out 2x gtx 1080 ti's lets face it when these cards come out it will blow away the 900 series cards away with ease .New mobo most likely x99 with a new cpu some more in depth water cooling . a new racing wheel for my iracing then im sorted not much but some stuff at the top of my head. To easy.

omg i feel like donating lol. Save the money pls. will save sooo much pain man.

I choice these fittings t-splits so i can hook up all 5 temp censors ,the bitspower fittings do look amazing don't get me wrong when they say shinny they mean it .Um in fact the censors are bitspower shinny censors . I also plan to do a upgrade later on i think after 5yrs or so not 100% sure how ive of using the 1155 socket / Z77 era so to speak it's time to upgrade again. With that said ill most likely go with a ASUS again but r an X99 or something that has been proven to go well .Don't get me wrong still to this day my set up is fantastic only thing holding me back is my recently bought GTX 970 G1 Gaming GPU only in GTA V over grass ,think it's just the game. Anyway it's all try an error and that's how we learn .not letting go of this case tho oh my this case is Huge lots of rom to play with tons of space and then some. What GPU ill go with well lets see what people report with the 1070 .Not to mention thee 1080 ti to come later on .Here in Australia things are very pricey hence why i got the 970 . Still was a great upgrade from 2xgtx asus 660's ref cards. I went of topic a little sorry. Also note: the reason i did this style of fittings t-splits is that ive never seen some 1 do it b4 so i gave it a shot and it works out well. Hope this helps.

Been working on this for a while now. Not the best in the west but at least it keeps my gear cool and runs very well. cable management is still being worked on.

download direct driver uninstaller and follow the prompts . http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html this will delete everything related to nVidia then you install a new driver you want.

I use this 1 it's been running rather well .if it ever dies on me ill most likely get the same 1 again still only 4months old .

I did think about doing a 2nd receiver ,but quickly thought that it's not worth it .Having 1 receiver will be good just make sure to have many yrs in the warranty ,then you will be fine as a back up .I use a SONY receiver and it's great does what i need it to do that's it no more no less. SONY STR 550 . For me Pc toslink/optical cable to receiver then the sub out to my 6 channel guitar amp ive had for over 16 yrs it works like a charm ,total bass is around 500w RMS. more than enough for my lounge room . and my Amp is not even on the internet at all lolz ASHTON PM6300. Anyway i do suggest saving for a fantastic receiver ,either Pioneer or Sony are good brands there is others so look around ,i would sell and save to get 1 amp. My thoughts you can do what you do cool no 1 is stopping you .This is just an EG: best of luck with it ,keep us posted tho keen to see how this ends up if you keep them.

till the moment it sounds crapy then you will be like ok im an Audiophile like my self haha. I would look for a better MB tho.

for myself i use creative sound blaster it has Dolby/DTS ,it uses a PCI slot the small 1 if you don't know .Mine is hooked up to my receiver Sony 5.1 constand Dolby or DTS output and stereo playback can be played throw it as well. Was good for me back when i got Win-Vista as that sucked and the audio options was zero to say the least .Still use it today There is some options to get ya head around tho worth it. But look around for what you need it for 1st.

I bought the 1st game was useless in controls in gamepad and KB-Mouse still yet to see if any upgrades have been done to it lol. i just could not control the thing ,WASD Mouse was horrid. Will def- try it again this long weekend .Been playing GTA V all this time & Age Of Empires 3 mostly . Side note: Kinda the same thing for Saints Row the 3rd (KB Mouse fine ) and Max Payne 3 .must be me tho Watch Dogs was very Horrid for that was srsly wanting to play it ,even bought the Hat. loz.
