  1. I've recently OC-ed my GPU and found the stable core and memory speed, and so far none of the games crashed or showed any artifacts which previously happened which I knew was an unstable OC. But recently, while doing nothing but watching YT videos my driver suddenly crashed and I'm curious can this be from the overclock or maybe there is something wrong with the drivers.? The drivers used were NVIDIA's 385.41
  2. Well I don't know why but I just tried running the game again without touching the clocks (and through the tutorial again) and the game didn't crash while playing it (3 hour playtime), so I'm not really sure what is going on here. I've heard Furmark is sort of a card killer and to be avoided, I use MSI Kombustor instead of it, ran it for about 2 hours and it also didn't crash.
  3. As the title says, I've OC-ed my GTX 980 Ti recently and found the most stable speed where basically any game I tested so far doesn't crash after hours of gaming after previously it did (Shadow of Mordor, Witcher 3, Dishonored 2, Far Cry 4, Battlefield 4) so I decided to run some sort of stress test. I did this by running a full 1 hour of Unigine Heaven benchmark, and haven't noticed any artifacts and had any driver crashes and I thought that this was stable and went on to play my games. Needles to say a day or 2 later I fired up Crysis 3 only for it to give me a driver crash in the tutorial I'm curious but does this mean that the overclock is still unstable or is there something with Crysis 3 going on that I don't know ?
  4. Well that's a shame to see that there's nothing to be done about it, thanks for the help.
  5. Oh VSync. How might this help tho (and at half the refresh rate) ?
  6. I can't see such thing, maybe it's in inspector ?
  7. I have a Asus MG279Q monitor connected with DP 1.2 cable and whenever I boot up my PC and play some of the modern games the monitor is always at 144Hz, but when I play some of the old games (Crysis 1, LOTR BFME, C&C Generals etc...) the monitors refresh rate always goes down to 60Hz and stays that way when exiting from the game forcing me to reboot my PC just to get the 144Hz back. Does anyone know what might cause this and how to fix it without reboot ?
  8. I'm curious to what will happen if I have enough RAM for the game from the "Minimum requirement" section but not from the "Recommended". The game which I'm looking forward to play and in question is Middle-Earth: Shadow of War since I would like to see if I could max the game out with my GTX 980TI while having only 8GB of RAM and see what the negatives will be from not having enough RAM. Performance decrease ? Higher loading times... ?
  9. Ignore what I just said, now it seems to work fine after cleaning the RAM slots.Thanks for the help again.
  10. Well that's weird. I just reseted the BIOS and tried again and it seems to work with only 1 RAM stick, and it look like that other one is faulty since it won't boot with the other one, but what's weird is that sometimes it boots with the other one and sometimes it doesn't.
  11. Hello everyone.Forgive me for the long post (TLR at the bottom). I recently have been getting errors on my motherboard AsRock Z77 Extreme4 about memory not being recognized or detected, and I'm wondering if anyone here can help me resolve this issue as no matter how much I search through google the problem can't be solved. Ok, I want to start by saying that a few hours ago I turned on my PC and was playing video games, browsing web etc... as I do everyday, no problems appeared or anything weird happening everything was normal. Then I noticed through GPU-Z that my GPU is running at x8 speed on PCIe Gen3 slot instead of x16 and heard it was better to make the GPU run always at x16, I realized it was because my GPU was mounted on a second PCIe 3.0 slot instead of the top one, so I decided to move it there. Fast forward a few minutes of me putting my GPU at my top PCIe 3.0, and putting all cables back (PSU's GPU cables + DisplayPort) only to realize my PC won't turn on and when I look at AsRock's "Dr.Debug" LED troubleshooter, I see that the error I'm getting is "55, Memory not initialized". I really don't know why this is happening especially since I NEVER touched my RAM sticks while taking off/putting on my GPU. It confuses me since seeing the PC was just working normally moments ago and now suddenly it can't recognize my memory ? To make matters worse, I removed my GPU from the case fully and wanted to try to turn on my PC with only onboard GPU only to get the same error as before. That's pretty much it what my problem is , I also want to mention that I tried each stick in each slot separately only to get either "53, Memory not recognized" or "55, Memory not initialized", I'm pretty sure that my memory is fine seeing as how it worked all these years without any issues and just a few moments ago. If anyone faced this problem before help would be appreciated. TLR: My memory suddenly can't get recognized by my motherboard, where just a few moments ago it was working fine (more detail above).

  12. But the throttling starts at 84C right ?
  13. This will be a long thread, and while I will try to not post useless info I'd appreciate it if anyone willing to help would be able to read everything to understand my situation to know what I'm dealing with. A few weeks ago, I've got my MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming (https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GTX-980-Ti-GAMING-6G.html) card and immediately once I got it, I fired up the games that I played to see how it performs @ 1440p. The card is excellent, it provides very high FPS (60+) in many games, boost itself to 1350 MHz when any game is opened, is quiet etc... But ofcourse there is a problem, and that problem are temperatures. When the fan is at automatic mode (no custom fan curve), the temps of the cards were at 54-57C, when a game is opened and played for awhile the temps get very fast to the temp limit (83C). I posted this in another forum and was recommended to improve my cooling and reapply TIM. I do both things by buying additional 3 fans (all intake 2x front, 1x bottom) and disassembling my GPU and reapplying the TIM (X method was used here). After all of that was done, I can say that the temps while they did drop didn't drop by much at both idle and load (3-5C). After this I still didn't like the 80C temps and have gone and set my own custom profile (https://imgur.com/C49Z4fO). Now the temps are at 37-40C at idle and 70-77C at load, and also the worst part about this is that the fans are spinning 95-100% at those temps and it's still in high 70's ?!?! Why ? . This is the temp issue which I'm talking about, why would it require almost 100% of fan speed just to keep the temps at high 70's ? I have to mention that I tried to OC my card, and managed to go up to +115 on the core speed in Afterburner, but the temps then rise to 80-84C with fans still spinning at 100%. Also me taking the side panel off doesn't change temps at all. I hope anyone might know how to help me solve this issue, as this is the only thing that is stopping me from gaming normally since I'm too much worried about this. Any questions on any info which I've missed, please ask. Also my ASIC is 77.5% , I'm on stock cooling (Twin Frozr) and stock BIOS. My specs: CPU: i5 2500K @ 4.5 GHz GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming Edition Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme4 RAM: Patriot 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 MHz CASE: Fractal Design Define R5 SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB HDD: Samsung Spinpoint 1 TB HD103SJ PSU: SuperFlower Leadex Gold 650W Thanks.
