    Sometimes a bad PSU can cause issues even though it looks like it's working fine ... If you have a reliable PSU to test as a substitute it might help remove it as the culprit or reveal that it was indeed the main issue .

    I see that you are running 3200 CL16 RAM ... try running with XMP turned off ... only at JDEC speeds ... it might be the 3200 CL16 to be too much. Also use a mem test to see if it really runs. As for the GPU don't use split cables to power it .. if it has 2 connectors use 2 cables to power it.

    My friend has a 4770k that has 4 cores with 0.024 volts in idle, you show us a 2 core G3258 at 0.2 V ... And to the other guys, this is not my PC that has this voltage, it`s a friend of mines. I have 4790k that idles at 0.7xx Volts. And uses 1.280 V in auto in 4.4 Turbo mode. Btw is this voltage right for my 4790k?
  4. Balian
    So you are telling us that a 4770k can run at 0.0xx V in idle at 800 MHz ?
  5. Balian
    He always has that voltage in idle mode and he`s firmly convinced that it shows right. I was telling him that this way Samsung or Apple would hire him to show them how to run a desktop CPU at 800 Mhz at lower voltages than their phones

    HI there, i`m having an argument with a friend that has strange very very low idle voltages on his CPU. As you can see in this post he has 0.024 V reported by CPU-Z, is this really possible on desktop CPUs to idle at this voltage? I`m just assuming that it`s a sensor bug reporting such a low voltage, while he brags about it being his smart choice of hardware that made this possible.

    Power bill is not half, After 2 months of use i pay 18-20 RON (romanian currency) ~ 4 Euro/ month less with the Intel rig. We were paying around 136-140 RON ~ 30 Euro / Month electricity when i had my AMD rig. But of course all of this is about whole house consumption TV / Fridge etc etc..

    Ok, i`ve opened my case and to my amazement the Corsair cooler is not even warm while rendering in Premiere and having 60-70°C .. when i had the FX 8350 at 60°C the radiator was freaking hot !!! It might be possible that my CPU is reporting wrong temperature ? GPU is at 64°C and it feels hot ... CPU reports 61°C and the corsair`s radiator is not even warm ... http://i62.tinypic.com/103dj4w.jpg Water block is 40°C and the CPU is reporting 65° http://i57.tinypic.com/j6038i.jpg And while the ASUS app reports 64° MSI Afterburner shows me 80°C ...

    I`m just starting to think that Intel is lying about 88W TDP. Energy saving wise i`m 18 RON( romanian currency lower with my I7 4790k than my old FX 8350) that`s 4 less euros / month in electricity bills ... 48 Euro / Year less with an i7 chip vs FX chip.

    Thing is all cores are about the same temp.. that`s why i left only 1st one ... but i find it hot My old FX 8350 at 4.5 GHz was hitting 62°C and i knew that CPU was hot ... i expected this i7 to be cooler ... seems i was wrong. Used same Corsair H80i on both.

    I have strange temperature reading on my CPU ... CPU cooler is Corsair H80i and thermal paste Arctic MX4... i find the temps ridiculous high while playing BF4 (i have Adobe Premiere in the background but is doing nothing. And why is there a difference between the Asus application and MSI Afterburner ? I`ve cleaned 2 times the CPU with Isopropyl alcohol and used a grain of rice of thermal paste... This CPU is running hotter than my FX 8350. Any ideeas why this happens? Are the temps really that high on a 4790k ? System specs are: i7 4790k + Corsair H80i (Stock speed) Asus Maximus VII Ranger 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866 Sapphire R9-290 OC Vapor-X 4GB Windows 8.1 64bit

    That 90° connector is not "high end" and should be present to all the boards. But my opinion is that there needs to be some change to PC in general. We are running on a design since the 386/486 era...I know it costs a lot of money to come up with a new layout but our PC insides are just a mess of cables ...
  13. Balian
    Design of the circuits didn`t thought of that, on the other hand there is at least one case that has the MB turned 90° CW, making the connectors sit on top of the case and not the back, thus making the MB having the ATX connector down.

    As i made a similar top on Asus`s forum , i`ll do one here also since Linus might have a better reach to manufacturers if my idea is good. As everybody is going crazy these days with cable management, why are there no ATX Motherboards with the ATX connector at the bottom ? Since the power supply is mostly at the bottom of the case now, and eventually at 90° Angle, we have SATA ports this way, why not ATX connector also ? And move the USB 3 ports from bottom to somewhere up since those connectors on the cases are usually up anyway ... Also GPU power connectors ... always on the side... why not at the back of the GPU ? I know this way would make Card require a longer case .. but enthusiast will benefit from better cable management/aesthetics not being required to go over the GPU, or make a standard to have the connectors the opposite side of the GPU and all cases have a cutout behind it to accommodate connectors, this way eliminating the need for longer cases if put at the back of the card (when i say back i mean the opposite side of the DIV/HDMI, hope i made myself clear on this one)

    Clearly the buttons on the back for the thing bezel is most attracting thing followed by the thin bezel screen and overall home screen look.
