I'm not sure if the temps I'm getting with my H100i are up to par... they seem to be too hot. Also, my monitoring software keeps glitching so the temps don't change. But first things first, the temps. NOT overclocked, my i5 4670k with H100i idles in the low 30's. This is normal as far as I can tell. When at 100% load, it sits at about 65-70. When I hit it with OCCT, and the memory hits the magic 90%, the temps quickly hit 90C and the test fails. I previously used Hyper 212+, and without an overclock I seem to remember being able to run OCCT no problem. How could the H100i be WORSE than the simple but well loved Hyper 212+? AT STOCK! SO that's why I think something is wrong. Thanks for taking the time to chat and help me out, Jake Dalay

Hello all, Welcome to my review of the Asus Z97-WS board. First Thoughts: Awesome board, with all of the needed bells and whistles, and none of the gimmick-ie ones. I'm very happy that it has two Ethernet ports, and two USB 3.0 Internal headers. The color scheme is a bit weird, as I've never seen the appeal of Gold in computers, but some paint will help with that. Installation: This section may be a tad bad, but it's mostly my fault. Upon receiving the board, I did a quick assembly outside of my case. It powered for about 10 seconds, stopped, and reset itself. It did this twice before I turned it off, and double checked all of the connectors. They all seemed fine, so I tried again. It booted flawlessly into a splash screen. Upon seeing this, I was delighted, turned it off, and took the time to take apart my rig enough to switch out the motherboards. (Old: FX 8320, Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0) Somewhere in here, I uninstalled the heatsinks, and spray painted them black. Looks great I installed the motherboard in my case, with both graphics cards, all the plugs, and got ready to boot. One, two, three, power button... and nothing. The post code readouts said ddFE, which means absolutely nothing in the motherboard handbook. Terrified that I screwed it up, I checked every cable, and tried a few more times, every time receiving ddFE. I then stripped the motherboard of every connector that wasn't necessary for use. Tried again, and ddFE! GAHH!! At this point, I was tired, it was 3 AM, and I decided it was time to sleep. After a good nights rest, I looked into the responses of my thread on LTT, to find that people were generally not knowing, or unhelpful. I decided just to go look at my motherboard one last time, when something caught my eye. A little bit of gold on my RAM, and a quick check later, verified that my RAM wasn't seated well. Elated that the issue wasn't catastrophic, I reseated the RAM, and optimistically pressed the power button. Boot, Post code LED's flashing numbers faster than I could figure out what they said, and Splash screen! Wooo! Seeing this, I booted down, and reattached my USB headers, SATA cable, and decided to boot again. Button, power, SPARK?... The included Firewire/USB 2.0 thing that comes with the board had a nice fire spark come out of the USB 2 header. Mmmmm... I quickly shut off the machine, unplugged this included thing, and removed it from my case. It might have been a bad connection, but I don't care to risk it, and 2 USB ports aren't worth paying another 300 dollars for a motherboard. And one more time, Button, boot, BIOS, perfect. Everything looks awesome, I got into my OS without having to reinstall my OS (awesome), and I've installed the drivers from ASUS. Overclocking: N/a, coming soon from a reviewer near you. Conclusion: (thus far) I love the board. Every mistake (minus the USB thing... I think), was my fault, but the board took it like a champ, and is purring like a kitten. (Literally purring... Stock CPU cooler.) The board looks great (after modification), and has features that I plan to take all advantage of.

So I think I've finally decided what I'm going to be putting into my new build. Next up, is ordering components. I've decided to go with an Intel based system, because I prefer Intel over AMD. The components will be as follows: CPU - Intel Core i5 4670K (definitely overclocking to 4.0GHz+) CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Seidon 120V Motherboard - MSI Z97-G45 ATX Gaming Memory - G. Skill Sniper 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM PSU - Antec HCG-620M 620W Semi-modular GPU - EVGA GTX 660 SC 2GB (eventually ugrade to GTX 770) Case - Corsair Carbide 400R ATX Mouse - Corsair Vengeance M65 So what do you guys think? Maybe tweak it up a little? Comments and suggestions are great!

I feel kinda dumb for having to pose this question, since I've followed this stuff religiously and I really ought to know better, but I would like to get opinions on this. I'll get the essentials out of the way now: Location: United States, with a Microcenter nearby Budget: $1200 +/- 10 percent ($120) Aim: gaming (1080p for now, 1440p/1600p in the future) and development, but I'm anticipating more of the latter Monitors: I have a 1080p monitor already, but I hope to eventually get a 1440p/1600p monitor Peripherals: i will be buying new peripherals and Windows 8.1, but they are not included in this budget Why?: I'm 'selling' most of my current build to my younger brother so he can play games and use music production software (FL-Studio, ProTools, etc). In exchange for a 2x8GB kit of RAM, I'll be handing over my motherboard, CPU, RAM, GPU, and power supply, and I will be re-using my 3.5" 1TB HDD as a backup external drive. I have two of my own options, with my thoughts on both (parts list for each in the poll): A10-7850K w/ Gigabyte F2A88XN-WIFI - I know this seems questionable at best to pair one of the fastest consumer GPUs with an APU, but hear me out. With DirectX 12 in the works, Mantle arguably here to stay, and HSA implementation to look forward to, the reduction of CPU overhead leaves me the impression that I could get away with a weaker CPU later on down the road. Then there's the possibility of using/developing applications using HSA and Mantle, while also having a bigger budget for storage (as is reflected in the parts list comparisons). Core i5-4670K w/ Asus Maximus VI Impact - With the loss of HSA and a slightly higher budget, I get a huge boost in raw CPU performance and is arguably more or less a "side-grade" from my current AMD-FX platform. Why a Maximus VI Impact? It's such a beautiful board rich in expandability for a mini-ITX board, and I haven't had an Intel build since Socket T (a low-end dual-core Celeron). EK also makes a full-board block for the Impact, so it could be something to look forward to if I decide to put it under a custom water loop. For both systems, I will be getting the following: AMD Radeon R9 290 (the lists assume a Gigabyte Windforce model, but I'm willing to work with any brand) Cooler Master Elite 130 case Samsung 840 EVO SSD and an additional 2.5" HDD (250GB SSD & 2TB HDD for AMD, 120GB SSD & 1TB HDD for Intel) Aftermarket cooling (I have planned a Corsair H80i, but depending on how the F2A88XN-WIFI can handle overclocking I may change this to either a Corsair H60 or a Cooler Master Seidon 120V - whichever is less expensive) Corsair CX600M 600W PSU A 2x8GB RAM kit* (Radeon R9 2400MHz for AMD, Tactical Tracer 1600MHz for Intel - I know it says 2x4GB on PCPP because no retailer has the 2x8GB kit) If anyone has a suggestion for alternative parts for either choice, please let me know. Again: this is a long-term plan that I'll be putting into effect in at least 2 months from now. -
Hey forum, I've got a 4670k and stepping up to a 4770k, mostly because I'm doing a lot more video editing and 3D work than I was planning to do when I originally picked the parts for the rig. Its been used for a few months now and I havn't exactly been treating it too well. I've been blasting up to 1.37V through it (now @ 1.33V) because it is a terrible overclocker and needs those kinds of voltages for anything above 4.3 GHz. My question is, how much can I ask for it? I bought it in germany for €195

Dear Community, I am worried about my CPU temperatures. I put my first build together in December 2013 (few month ago), and so far it has been running satisfyingly, with the only hassle being that the computer reboots on shutdown quite often. Recently, I have noticed very high idle temps (50-53*C), and this morning I installed AIDA64 and after few seconds of CPU stress test, I have core temps reaching 100*C and CPU throttling. What has gone so terribly wrong? Even when I max out my fans (Fan Xpert 2 software), the idle temps don't seem to decrease. I am going to make a clean UEFI install of Win8, and will be back to see if anything has been improved. But my intuition is that I'm probably facing a hardware issue? PS: I was never able to OC my processor, even back in the days when my temps weren't through the roof, getting blue screens even a 4 GHz. My setup is as follows: Case: Fractal Design Mini R2 Cooling: Air Intake: 2 x 120mm front fans (lower fan partially obstructed by HDD cage). Air exhaust: H100i in pull with stock fans top mounted. Room temp: 22*C (no direct sunlight) No dust in build, clean Rad CPU: i5 4670k (no OC) MB: Asus Maximus VI Gene GPU: Asus GTX 770 RAM: Corsair Dominator 8 GB PSU: Corsair RM750 OS: Win 7 Pro 64x I have checked: H100i pump is running. No kinks in the H100i hosing. Intake and exhaust fans spinning. I have NOT checked: For viruses (anything that would stress the processors as a background process?) Tried to remove the thermal past and applied some new past Tried to replace the H100i block with the stock Intel cooler to see if there is improvement in temps. Could you please guide me through the next steps of my troubleshooting? Kindly, Mr. Andersen

Hello all! I'm going to be water cooling my rig in about a week. I have everything planned out (I hope.), and I want some feedback. What do y'all think? This all goes into a HAF Stacker 945. 360mm in the basement (two hopefully), 120mm on the rear exaust. I need suggestions for a second 360mm radiator. I wanted another Monsta, but it doesn't fit... I need a smaller one. I'd like it to have a high FPI. Suggestions please Also, is the one pump good enough to push the coolant, or is it to restricted with 3 Rads and 4 blocks? The order will be: Res-Pump-360mm(1)-360mm(2)-GPU-GPU-120mm-Motherboard-CPU-Res The parts that are being water cooled are: EVGA GTX 780 Classified x2 Intel i5 4670k Gigabyte G1.Sniper 5 Water Cooling Parts CPU - EK-Supremacy Clean ESQ GPU - EK-FC780 GTX Classy - Nickel GPU - EK-FC780 GTX Classy Backplate Pump - Performance-PCs Modded 655 pump Res - XSPC Photon 270 Tube Glass Cylinder Res Fan Cont- G-VANS Tactus 6-Channel Fan Controller Tubing - PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing - 3/8in ID x 1/2in OD Crystal Clear - 10 ft Fittings - Phobya 13/10mm compression fitting G1/4 Matt Black Fittings - Bitspower Mini-Valve Matt Black Lights - Phobya LED-Flexlight 30cm UV Fan Split - 4-pin PWM Power Distribution PCB 6x Way Fluids - Mayhems x1 UV Green Concentrate 250ml Case Fan - Gelid Wing 12 120mm UV Green Fan Rad Fan - Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1450 RPM Already Purchased: Rad Fan - Noctua NF-F12 120mm Fans - Bought through Classifieds Radiator - Alphacool Nexxxos Monsta 360mm radiator - Bought through Classifieds 2 60 Degree Bitspower Black Sparkle Fittings 2 45 Degree Bitspower Black Sparkle Fittings 2 30 Degree Bitspower Black Sparkle Fittings XSPC 120mm Radiator Suggestions?

Hello all! So I'm upgrading my computer, and had some questions. I'm adding a second GPU, and changing my CPU, and adding Water Cooling. So curious as to my power needs, I pulled up a PSU calculator, and it told me I needed 970w for my rig... The settings I chose in it are: 1 Physical CPU, High End Desktop, 4670k, Overclocked to 4500 with 1.35V (guestimation), 2 sticks DDR3, 2 GTX 780's, 2 HDDs 7200rpm, 1 DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive, 1 Flash SSD Drive, 4 USB Devices, Fan Controller, 8 120mm Reg Fans, 6 High Performance fans, Swiftech MCP 655 Pump, 90% load, 25% Capacitor Aging. Do I need a 1000w PSU? Or would the 750w I own be enough? (I have a 1200 in the mail, but it's won't be here when the rest shows)

I'll be receiving a couple parts in about a week or so, and after that I'm trying to decide what my next upgrade should be. Here's my rig (Rather it will be in a couple of weeks): Monitors: x1 for gaming @ 1080p 60Hz, x1 for convenience and multitasking @ 1080p 75 Hz PSU: EVGA SuperNova G2 750w CPU: i5-4670k Motherboard: AsRock z87 Pro4 RAM: 8GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHz Video Card: Unlocked & Overclocked AMD Radeon 6950 (Don't underestimate it, it's surprisingly really good even now. ) 2 HDDs totaling 2.5 TB storage, both at 7200 RPM Peripherals are fine for now I mainly game, but I do a decent bit of video editing as well, and I'll be getting Unreal Engine 4 (The $19.99 subscription). I'm thinking about either upgrading my RAM, or my video card. I know video editing would really use added RAM, but gaming would really benefit from a better video card. If I had better/more RAM though, would that benefit gaming much? Also, which would be more beneficial for game design with UE4?

So, I'm planning this build this summer which will invlove dual 7870s, an intel 4670k and maybe a few ssds, hard drives, fans and other junk. I put everything into cooler master's psu calculator, even on their advanced settings and the calculator said I would need a minimum of a 430 watt power supply (or something around that). Is that really feasible? It seems like that would be really low. I was considering getting antec's 550w platinum earthwatts psu. I know I could probably use a couple suggestions, but I thought, eh what the heck, might as well get the most efficient thing I can. Anyway, please leave suggestions, and if there are any, let me know of other ways I can calculate the wattage I'll need, thanks!

Hello all! Let me preface this all by explaining why it HAS to be Intel (it's not fanboy-ism). One of the games I love playing is World of Warcraft, which isn't a demanding game in the least. However, it does perform an arm and a leg better on an Intel chip (even if it's a cheap i3). My 8320 runs at 60 fps... If I'm alone, and not doing much. My 8320 also runs at 13 FPS if I'm in a crowded area. The game is heavily driven by individual cores, and for some reason, hates AMD. So it MUST be Intel. Now, onto the question! This is for Gaming, Programming, Internet, and such. No real editing. I'm in the market for a new CPU. However, I see these new shiny CPU's emerging, along with the Z97 chipset, and I'm interested. My problem with the Z97 chipset, is they're all ugly. (Note: My build is neon green and black.) What do they bring to offer that Z87 doesn't? Do they support more CPUs? Then the question is, should I wait for the 4690k? Will it be worth it? Will it cost more? With Z87, I was planning on getting the Gigabyte G.1 Sniper 5, for colors... Help please

Hi im planing on bulding a pc soon it will be my first pc so i will have to get everything it will be near 1600$ canadian after tax and shiping. My question to you guys is should i get a( 770 + i5-4670k )or i5-4690k when it comes out OR ( 760 + i7-4770k )or i7-4790k when released. i will be playing at 1080p with 8gb of ram and also i will be playing games like bf4 farcry 4 and other shooters BTW im currently useing a dell inspiron i5 with an i3 4gb of ram and the onboard graphics ( 3000 ).

Hi guys! I noticed really high temps on my cpu, dont know why i haven't seen it before now. Haven't even Stresstested my cpu, i don't dare.. I've got: Mobo: GIGABYTE g1 sniper m5 GFX: EVGA 780 CLASSIFIED (Temps are fine) CPU i5 4670k (stock speed) Replaced the coolers stock fans with 2x Corsair sp120 quiet edt. backplate was loose before mounting the actual heatsink Temps: Current idle: 45C Load: Up to 95C (Measured whilst running Warframe) This scared the crap out of me. I need some help from you guys. I'm going to replace the thermal paste, have already taken off and reseated the heatsink. Paste was soft and creamy. What do i do?

Hi I recently got a new 4670k because my old one died a few weeks after delidding it RIP and now the temperatures in the bios are stuck at 86 degrese Im using the stock intel cooler for now. I changed the thermal paste to arctic silver 5 and the temperatures went down to -78 in the dashboard bios but when i weent to the legacy bios it went up to 180c but after a restart it went back to 86c and hasnt changed.I recently had my GA-Z87M-D3H mboard repaired due to faulty ethernet and I didnt have this problem thnx in advance Dhale2

I know there has been tons and tons of different topics that explain on how to overclock my processor (4670k) but after watching Linus's video on overclocking a 4670k it made me un-sure on what to do as I thought I only had to change the CPU clock speed but he does so much more! Another thing is most people are using the GA-Z87N board and well I have the GA-H87N board so is this still capable to overclock? I am only looking to boost it up to 4.0ghz or maybe 4.2ghz but running it on Adaptive mode if I have the option too. Any help out there? thanks! p.s I have read loads of forums on how to overclock so don't tell me that

After the screen stopped working I got a 3rd job and bought after much toil an $800 Acer Aspire-m ultrabook.

Bye bye useless laptop. Aims Gaming + Sound Processing Battlefield 4, Arma 3, Day Z standalone, Hardline (when its released) Ableton, Cubase Aside from running these programs and games. There are some things that are very important due to the cost of my build. 1) LONGETIVITY -Ideally lasts 10 years and only features upgrades that are required to access new technology. THAT MEANS NO FAILURES. 2) UPGRADING- I need to be able to increase this computers features over time with minimal replacement of parts. 3) AESTHETICS - for a 3500 dollar computer it’s going to make my balls drop when I look at it and I wanted it to look different to just your standard mid tower gaming rig and I wanted it to have something in it that made it unique. 4) LOW TEMPERATURE – I knew that if I wanted the parts to last as long as possible, I would need some significant cooling, but a full water cooling set up was super expensive and difficult to implement in a small case. 5) BENCHMARKS – I want the best benchmarks out of the most bang for your buck parts – it doesn’t have to always be the top product.

I will attach a video and photos featuring all the benchmarks of the finished build and a run-through of how I went about the build when its finally finished. I'll also unveil the special unique feature that i've been working on. cheers and thanks for reading. silent_goat

I have a feeling my motherboard is causing me trouble when OC'ing my 4670k. I'm using a Asrock Z87 Pro 4 (with the latest BIOS) with an air cooling Coolermaster Hyper T4 and Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, in a Coolermaster N400 case. Also I have a Thermaltake Evo Blue 2.0 750w PSU and Ripjaw X 2x8GB 2133mhz CL9 While I'm happy with the OC I get compared to the volts (that's if CPUZ is accurate). I can get a stable OC of 4.2ghz @ 1.164v which I find amazing. Where it gets strange is if i raise the voltage or the multiplier in even the smallest amounts BSOD in seconds or crashes during boot. It doesn't matter if I turn the auto voltage on or off and the BIOS says that I'm giving it 1.25v and I've had it up to 1.3v but nothing makes a difference. I have tried multiple stress tests for extended amounts of time and it'll never crash at 4.2 and doesn't get close to hot I run CPUID HW Monitor and I get even temps across every core within 5c (I think it got to about 68c at full load on 30c day). So I'm happy for the clock but I don't see why I can't hit 4.5 or even 4.3. Another thing I had trouble OC'ing my Gigabyte R9 270x OC Windforce to get a 5% core I had to decrease the power by 20% in Afterburner but might be unrelated. I'm upgrading my rig soon to watercooled z97 setup and possibly a 4790k but if I can use this chip and get a decent OC I'll use it for a while. Anyone have any ideas? I have to sleep now as it's getting late and work in the morning. I'll try to reply as fast as possible but through the week I don't have much spare time. Thanks in advance and any help is greatly appreciated. http://valid.canardpc.com/612zaz http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/7nvma/

So yeah, is overclocking a cpu hard? I'm asking this since i'm building a gaming pc for myself and the current pricetag is about 1400€ and about 350€ of that is CPU and mobo, and i don't have a cpucooler in there, should i get one? If overclocking is hard and not needed for ultra graphics on games like BF4, AC4 i could get a cheaper CPU and Mobo and get an ssd or something instead!

Hi guys, here are my specs : 4670k @ 4.2ghz MSI G45 Z87 - Bios v1.4 Swiftech H220 My problem is exactly what the title says. I set the voltage in bios to 1.150v and CPU-Z and HWmonitor reports my CPU sucking 1.243v. Should I be worried about this? -
So i decided to take advantage of the colder temperatures this morning and see how hard i could push my CPU. I made it to 4.6Ghz but needed 1.32v which is pathetic really. I tried 4.7 but she wouldn't do it. I decided to run cinebench single thread and see if i could break the 2 points barrier. This is what i got

Hey everyone, so recently, I've decided to swap out my i5-4670 with a i5-4670k to overclock for image/video editing and AutoCAD. [you can see my rig here: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/183-show-off-your-setup/page-186#entry1410464] I OC-ed it to 4.7GHz with a Corsair H60 SE cooler. Now, I'm thinking of Dual SLI GTX 760s, but I highly doubt my Seasonic 620W would be able to cope. Any suggestions on a 750W or 850W PSU? Preferably from Corsair, Seasonic, FSP or Silverstone. If possible, also include why you recommend it over other options. Budget would be hard to define, probably <200USD or <250AUD (I'm Australian and our prices are ridiculous D:) Thanks!

Hi guys! Today I have a list of parts for an upcoming rig I plan on making! I posted about my current rig about this time last year, but my parents have since separated so my plan is to have a Desktop in both locations. So here we go! Any suggestions/Y U NO PICK THIS PART would be much appreciated! 1. Budget & Location Around £1400 (which is roughly 2300 usd) from my current sources, preferably amazon.co.uk (I have amazon prime and if any problems occur it's far easier to resolve with amazon, so preferably here) or overclockers.co.uk (had lots of good experience with these guys), and just a wee note, please don't link me to anything from Dabs if you're going to give me purchase links, had 2 faulty products from dabs and their customer service is abysmal. 2. Aim Mainly gaming, I play a large amount of Dota 2, but play any well reviewed more intensive game if I like the look of it, for example Farcry 3, Crysis 3, and Assassin's Creed IV. I also do a small amount of video and photo editing, but not enough for it to be of much significance. 3. Monitors To start I will be using the same monitor for both of my rigs, and taking it with me when I move houses, and this is an Acer touchscreen monitor of resolution 1920x1080. I will be investing in a couple of monitors in a few months when I have the money to, but have not taken those into consideration yet. 4. Peripherals I have peripherals for my current system that again I will be using for both systems, but again will be getting those when I can afford them, only focusing on the rig itself for the moment. I will need Windows 8, as even though I uses Ubuntu as my daily driver I do need the gaming support of Windows much to my dismay. 5. Why are you upgrading? Not upgrading, simply need a brand new rig. And the proposed part list! Case: Silverstone FT03-Mini - £97 ($158) @amazon.co.uk CPU: Intel 4670K - £173 ($282) @amazon.co.uk Motherboard: Asus Z87I-Pro - £132 ($215) @amazon.co.uk Power Supply: Silverstone ST45SF-G - £90 ($147) @overclockers.co.uk CPU Cooler: Corsair H75 - £65 ($106) @amazon.co.uk GPU: EVGA GTX 780 - £420 ($685) @amazon.co.uk RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 16GB (2x8GB) - £125 ($204) @amazon.co.uk - RAM is so expensive now. :< SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 256GB - £120 ($196) @amazon.co.uk HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB - £65 ($106) @amazon.co.uk Replacement Fan: Noctua NF-A14 PWM - £20 ($33) @overclockers.co.uk Optical Drive: LiteOn DL-8ATSH Slim - £20 ($33) @overclockers.co.uk Operating System: Windows 8 - £72 ($118) @amazon.co.uk (yes, I like Windows 8 over Windows 7. Get over it) Total: almost exactly £1400 ($2282) So I decided to go for a Mini-ITX, as though it is currently not an issue, in the near future I think that compactness would be something very useful to me. Also, I like the idea of having a small uniquely shaped rig, with my currently Desktop being a monster under the desk. Again, any suggestions would be very much welcomed, I look to be purchasing it tomorrow night. (around 24 hours from now) Cheers! -Accudio

Hi all, first post. I built my first rig recently. I went for Intel i5 4670k, Nvidia GTX 580, 8GB Crucial ballistix RAM, and quite naively, the msi H87-G43 motherboard. To be honest I'm happy with it, apart from not being able to overclock because I got the wrong chipset. However, I now want to overclock my CPU! Is there any way to OC it on the H87 chipset? Any help will be gratefully received Matt
