I don't know why you are too concerned about this number unless you're looking into CPU bottlenecking. CS:GO is really not a GPU intensive game nowadays, and your GTX 1080 barely has to lift a finger to run this at max settings. That's a good thing. Titles like PUBG are more demanding, which is why you're seeing higher usage % numbers. Think of it as having a lot of headroom for games in the future. Sure right now your GPU is only being "30% utilized" on games like CS:GO, but all the high end titles that come out in the next couple years will be able to fully utilize your GPU and you have a lot more room to do so. If you're concerned that you're not getting value out of your GPU because it's not being fully utilized with the games you play, well then you're kind of right. You don't need a GTX 1080 to play CS:GO at over 200 fps. But you made a great investment for games you'll play in the future.

Hey guys. I am using a Xeon W3565 CPU in my work computer (Dell T3500) and it doesn't seem to be boosting to the normal advertised frequency. Base clock is 3.20 GHz, and according to Intel's info it should boost up to 3.46 GHz. Under load I am only seeing it go as high as 3.33 GHz and no further. In the attached photo I haven't put it under load, but get the same freq. results after a Cinebench run. Anyone know what the cause could be? Is there a setting in the BIOS I need to change in order for it to boost to 3.46 GHz? I know overclocking isn't capable on my peasant mobo, but figured I could at least get the normal boost frequency out of the chip! Thanks for any help you can offer.

Sounds like you haven't actually checked this case out in person. It can fit full size graphics cards up to 10.5" with a squeeze and some small modification, and speculating about the build quality without putting your hands on it is also questionable. I have seen users install GTX 1070 reference cards in these, which are a full 10.5" long.

Hey LTT community! I recently picked up an EVGA GTX 1050 Ti FTW Acx 3.0 card for my secondary PC and I am curious about overclocking the card a little bit. I have done as much research as I can, but I am a little confused on how to properly speed it up now that Boost 3.0 is in the mix! I am used to using MSI Afterburner on an older gen card - how would I go about adjusting the Core and Memory clock to squeeze a bit more performance out of this card? It is advertised as having a 1379 MHz core clock and a 1493 MHz boost clock, but when the card is under load the core seems to boost up to 1860 MHz (which is sweet). Do I just add a bit of offset in Afterburner like an older card? Or is it more about managing the cooling/voltage? Thanks for any help you can offer and educating a noob.
