hi all i had my pc for years now, a month ago I decided to upgrade it somewhat so that it can stay relevant and ill be able to play games on it my original specs were: Asus H97 Plus Intel Core i3 4160 @3.6Ghz Cooler Master 240 AIO(don't remember the exact name) 2x4gb HyperX Fury @1600 Nvidia Gtx960 2Gb Gigabyte Windforce OC Adata 512gb NVMe SSD 500W Cooler Master PSU Windows 11 Pro 22H2 so what I've done is Upgrade To 4770K 2 Additional 4gb sticks of ram bringing the total to 16Gb And an Nvidia Geforce RTX2060Super Since I've done these my PC started to crash randomly sometimes with BSOD with Critical Process Died And sometime it would just freeze these freezes are random, sometimes I'm gaming and this happens, and sometimes on idle the interesting thing is it would happen even in BIOS! sometimes it won't freeze for days and some other times constantly crashes I even ran Furmark and Prime95 at the same time for 24 hours and it didn't crash and temps were Cpu 75 max and Gpu 86 max(I know GPU is a bit hot but these gigabyte cards aren't very well cooled but I tried without it and no luck) but after an hour I was watching youtube and it crash things I've done for troubleshooting: i DDU the Gpu Removed the GPU running on iGPU no luck removed Ram Sticks no luck tried a 600W psu no luck something that tipped me off was Crashing in Bios so I revert back to my old CPU and everything was fine for 7 days straight so I Knew it was the CPU, installed it back and it started crashing again the only thing that seems to help now is to disable Intel Smart step and lock CPU clocks to 3.3 with 1.25 Vcore! at these clocks, it will become a bit more stable and I was able to do daily for 1 or 2 days but 1.25 is a lot although my cooler is handling it and keeping the temps below 80 but still and 3.3 is not good enough, this CPU should boost to 3.9, and out of curiosity I got 4.5Ghz at 1.27Vcore out of it with Cinebecnh score of 5378 at 3.3 it will drop to around 4000 and last week I tried locking it to 4.0Ghz and would work for 12 hours but a crash was guaranteed I played Last of us on this pc,at 3.3Ghz game would run at around 40 with GPU usage around 60% or something @1080p but at 4.5 GHz I was able to get mostly stable 60 and Gpu usage was 100% I know my CPU is probably faulty but wanted to check with you guys so that I be sure I might buy a 4790k to replace it in upcoming month but for now I'm stuck with this so I apperitiate the help and one last thing my monitor is 1080 and I'm okay with it what do you think is it ok to still run a 4th gen? the only downside is my SSD,although its NVMe but its running at 10gb/s and not full speed but I'm ok with it if I want to buy change platform I can only afford 7 or 8th gen at it would be triple the cost of a 4790k thanks for the help

4770k Are any of these coolers good for overclocking a 4770K?
FluorescentGreen5 posted a topic in Cooling
I have a 4770K lying around and am planning on playing around with overclocking it. I'm looking for some cheap coolers that can handle this (surely coolers that can manage an overclocked 4770K have gotten cheaper, right?), and these ones peaked my interest: Cooler Master Hyper H411R Silverstone Krypton K02 Cooler Master Hyper H412R be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 Antec A40PRO Antec C40 #4 seems to be the best option here, with #3 being a close second. I'm going to be running the system on an open-air testbench as well. Do you reckon those coolers will be up to the task? -
hello my dear friends, i have a question. i am a cs:go player and i wanna have good fps in game. last night, i was thinking 'bout upgrading my gpu to a 3070 / 3060 Ti but i have a problem. my specs ain't great. specs are : *i7-4770K *gigabyte z87x-ud3h(no pcie 4.0) *16 GB of ddr3 1600mhz ram *cooler master thunder 650w psu no 80+ i doubt that my pc will not be bottlenecked. but it's probably a good idea to ask it to experts. so pc wizards out there : will my pc get bottlenecked cuz it has an old 4770k with (maybe) low lanes and my 650w psu? pls hit me up.

build Honestly, plz halp 2019 upgrade from 2014
Raymond TSM posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
After three days of freezes, horrible head racking and turmoil. I think my 2014 i7 4790k has kicked the bucket. I've been real happy even today with a 4790k, 1070gtx setup. I just do 1080 144hz. Seems a combo of my mobo and CPU began failing, huge spikes 5 minute freezes.. days of troubleshooting, diagnostics of all forms.. bios edits.. etc. Discerned it wasn't drives, memory or GPU as with integrated graphics the issue persisted. Voltages, temps are fine.. just huge "iamadedboy" cpu spikes. Now it barely boots, 5 days ago it was as good as ever: So, from what it seems these are my current parts I want to put into a new build: 1070 gtx card 5 Sata ssd's (Samsung ofc) My old beat to crud coolermaster k350 atx case where i tape my ssd's snugly. Coolermaster silent pro 2 1000w psu (original 2014, should I replace? Probably.) My budget is $1000 Canadian rupples and I have looked at two ways of going about this with my old man knowledge from 2014: Intel 9700k w\ noctuah 15d cooler ($600 amazon, cheapest I can find.) Aorus wifi pro mobo (I run on wifi atm with fibre. I assume this new format of wifi has some form of benefit to me.) Some g skill 3200mhz 2x8 dimms We with this path are basically at just shy of 1000. And I am probably really overdoing it here with the 1070. 2. I was looking into doing A 3700x ryzen build but at this moment a 3700x is 40$ more and the mobos I have looked at make this break the $1000 CAD broke budget with everything. So it seems my budget just isnt exactly getting me with my knowledge -- where i would like. And the truth is, for a 1080p setup, I think I'm bottlenecking with the 1070 with either the 9700k or the 3700x and need serious help with figuring this out with my budget. I got a case i oughta replace and junk heap and a power supply from 2014 with a 1070 I paid 600$ for on release... please help? We're going straight 1080p, some occasional davinci resolve renders. Can i spend $1000 or less and have the same -- if not slightly better performance? I'm willing to hear any advice in this situation as my choices all seem to break the budget. Also, I take it 2x16gb hyperx ddr3 and my psu are about as useful or resellable as the pocket lint in my pockets. Let alone a mobo from 2014 with a few broken usb's. I'm on my phone man. My galaxy s8. Sitting here with my dead computer, a blank TV and a blank monitor. Please send the internet build emergency squad. It is a sad, sad day. Plz halp. -
I'm not sure if I simply lost the silicone lottery or I am doing something drastically wrong, but my 4700K is a hot mess. Even at stock speeds, it will throttle down to below 2.6ghz when running Prime 95. When I ran Prime 95 with a 4ghz and 4.2ghz overclock, the temps would quickly spike to 99c. I reapplied Arctic Silver 5 multiple times to see if I didn't apply it correctly and my temps are still a mess. At idle the CPU runs in the low 40s. I am currently using a Corsair H60 and I'm not sure if my cooling solution is the problem or my CPU is just plain wack. Running everyday tasks and games doesn't cause any crazy temps at any of the speeds I've had the CPU at, I've never seen it go past 80c when doing so. What worries me is how hot and how quickly it becomes hot when running synthetic loads like Prime 95. Should I buy a new CPU cooler, possibly shy away from the AIO market and just go with a standard tower solution? I do like the aesthetic of the AIO, but since I will be selling my PC in the upcoming year, I don't want to screw over the next guy to use it.

Hey guys brand new to the forum and wanted to run something by you all. I have searched before posting this and found some posts which kinda half answered my question but not totally. So here is the deal, I have an overclocked i7 4770k at 4.4ghz, super stable under water. It has been great up until very recently when I bought Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Really love this game but I have noticed for the first time ever that my CPU is actually running at 100% in task manager. From some research it does seem to be an issue with this game and poor optimization however that doesn't change the fact i'm running 100% CPU usage. Wildlands is the only time I have ever experienced my CPU at 100% (apart from stress testing my overclock). I have 3 dell 23 inch monitors which are all 1080p 60hz (all 3 overclocked to 77hz). I am aware that 1080p does put more pressure on my CPU but to replace my current monitors with equal quality 1440p ones is too much money at the mo. I currently run a GTX 1060 6GB which is a great little card, but I would like to upgrade. I was thinking on the RTX 2070 as I would much rather purchase a new card with warranty as buy a second hand GTX 1080 (for example) off the likes of ebay. I would like to get something that gives me a 60 fps min at very high settings. I have ruled out 60 fps at Ultra as being outside my budget just at the moment. With my CPU running flat out, does this mean that I would be wasting my money upgrading or will it only be a minor CPU bottleneck? Currently my 1060 does sit at like 97 to 100% usage also, but I wouldn't like to spend the cash on something better for it not to be fully utilized. I should mention that I currently don't suffer any freezes or stutters or anything like that, even with browser windows open on my left and right monitors. I'm not really in the situation to go all out on a new CPU, Motherboard, RAM etc, so it would be really great if my 4770k still had some life left in it. If it didnt, I will simply put a hold on a GPU upgrade. My full PC specs are: i7 4770k at 4.4ghz (custom water cooling loop) EVGA 1060 6GB SC Single Fan 32GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600mhz RAM Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H MB 1 x Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD 1 x Samsung 840 250 GB SSD 1 x WD Black 1TB Corsair HX850 PSU Thanks for reading guys. I hope I havent broken any rules on my first post lol.

Hello. I just got done replacing old case with Fractal Design Define R6 yesterday. I got some problems with booting (red cpu led and boot device red led) but after playing with it i finally got it to boot into windows. Now after last evening and this morning of testing and playing some light games i noticed temperatures being higher than i expected them to be and feels a bit unstable(-ish). I also do have lower cinebench score with same bios settings i used with my Noctua NH-u12s air cooler. I installed my Corsair h100x AIO to the top of the case.

My current specs: i7-4770k running stock 3.5Ghz but turbo boost up to 3.9Ghz Asus Z-87 Pro mobo 16GB (2x8GB) Crucial Ballistix Sport - 1333Mhz EVGA GTX 1080 8GB SC2 w/ iCX on 399.24 drivers Samsung 840 Pro - 128GB (OS drive) Samsung 850 Evo - 500GB (Game installed on here) I've tried OC'ing my 4770k to >4.0Ghz, but it's unstable even at 4.0Ghz with voltage at 1.2 - got a bad one I guess, so running on stock for now. Running BF1 on Ultra preset, 1080p, no super-sampling, etc. and getting 70-80fps on average in multiplayer. That doesn't seem right to me. In campaign, I'm getting about the same, with occasional moments of 100+fps. Here's a recording of the beginning of "Fall From Grace" mission: https://youtu.be/OaQeYTOmtxY My thoughts so far: 1) Card was installed with new drivers straight from Nvidia following DDU installation of drivers for my old card. So I don't think it's a driver issue. 2) Thermal readout on CPU and GPU both seem fine, so don't think any throttling is going on. 3) Processor power management through Windows 10 set for maximum performance, min and max processor state is 100%. 4) Thought maybe it was the old cores getting unparked issue, but all cores are running fine. 5) Don't think it's CPU bottleneck as GPU stays at 99-100% and all cores aren't getting close to full utilization. 6) Origin In-Game Overlay disabled. 7) Nvidia Control Panel set to "Let 3D application decide". Any ideas on what's going on? Or is this performance expected for my setup? ---- Userbenchmark results: UserBenchmarks: Game 106%, Desk 87%, Work 66% CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K - 77.9% GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 - 127.7% SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB - 94.1% SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 1TB - 135.7% RAM: Crucial BLS8G3D1609DS1S00. 2x8GB - 61.5% MBD: Asus Z87-PRO http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11015769

My system: i5 4570, Asus Strix 1070 Ti, 16GB, 1920x1080p 144hz monitor (MSI Optix Mag24C) Hi My question is this; Would I get better FPS switching my i5 4570 out with a 4790K? How do I know if it makes use of the Hyper Threading in the i7? Or do I need an 8700K and a new MOBO and ram (or is the 8600k enough with the 2 extra cores) That is a lot more money than a used 4790K I think there many gamers who would like to or needs to know about CPUs in regard to 120+ Hz panels. So I just got my first 144hz panel. I play The Division which is "fairly CPU bound". The Snow Drop engine can utilise more than 4 cores. (It says this below) " Tom’s Hardware: How does The Division’s Snowdrop engine utilize multi-core CPUs? Is there a limit to the number of cores it’s able to use? Anders: The Snowdrop engine, and in particular The Division, is very heavily threaded. The systems in the game are built around a task scheduler with dependencies set for each task. So, as soon as all of the dependencies for a task are completed, that task will execute. This means we aren’t tied to a specific number of cores and can scale fairly fluidly. Tom’s Hardware: So, how meaningful is it to support four or more cores if most gameplay is graphics-bound? What does a more sophisticated host processor get a Division enthusiast, and is it better to pursue IPC/clock rate or more parallelism? Anders: We are fairly CPU-heavy, and on many configurations we are bound by the CPU, not by the GPU, so more cores is definitely meaningful. Having eight or more cores is certainly not necessary, but if the cores are there, we will use them." - https://www.tomshardware.co.uk/multi-core-cpu-scaling-directx-11,review-33682-7.html 100% CPU / 45% GPU Utilisation When I run Division at Low Settings (V-Sync off), I get 100% CPU utilisation and from 40% to 60% on the GPU my frame rate averages about 100 I think. It goes up to 120ish when looking at a single wall to 90 FPS running through city and drops to 60-80 when there are players or npc models in the scene I Checked in 2 ways. First I ran at 1080p in fullscreen mode and had the resource monitor running in the background, after a couple minutes gameplay I would alt tab out an check the graphs. Then I used windowed mode first in 1400x900p so I could check simultaneously and after in 1900x1020p with just a sliver of resource monitor visible. When I test in 60Hz 60FPS I get around 80-90% on both CPU and GPU on High and Ultra I could probably have done a better job writing this, maybe made it a more generally applicable topic. I will make it into general topic that applies to everyone if the information turns up during this thread.

Hello, Like in the title, I'm looking for system storage for my I7-4770k on MSI Z97S SLI Plus. I want a faster storage than HDD and up to 250GB. And my question is: what should i buy? Will my platform use all of the potential of NVMe storage or should i look for normal M.2 drive or maybe SSD SATA is better option? I read somewhere that i have M.2 on PCIe 3.0 x1. Will that allows me to take an advantage of NVMe? Thanks for help. My PC: I7-4770K Stock 1060 6GB Gaming X MSI 2x KHX1600C10D3/4G (soon F3-2400c10d-16GTX) MSi Z97S SLI Plus WD Black 1TB Win 7

I have had my 4770k since launch back in 2014 I believe. I have it running at 4.4GHz and have only upgraded my GPU to the Strix 1080TI (OC to 2GHz) from my DCUII 780's I had before. I am still able to run most of my games at ultra max settings at 1440p 60 fps. Except some games like Rise of The tomb Raider smaa x4 sometimes drops to 55fps. I was thinking that my 4770k may have started to show its age and is bottle necking my 1080ti. I wanted to know if I would notice a significant performance improvement If I were to get the 8700k. I game alot as well as edit 4k videos so I can take advantage of hyper threading and more cores. I was hoping that Intel would release the 9th gen CPU's this year and they would be 8 core models. Should I just wait a couple more months and wait for possible 8C/16T 9700k?

Hi, I've currently got 2 4GB sticks in my system, but need to upgrade. I've got my hands on two 8GB sticks and want to use them alongside what I currently have installed. Would having 24GB of RAM be okay? It's an Intel i7 4770k MSI Gaming 3 Z97 motherboard. Thanks

Hello everybody, I recently upgraded my gtx 960 to a gtx 1080 ti and i got the feeling my cpu is bottlenecking quite alot so I changed my i5 4670k @4,5 ghz to an i7 4770k @4,3 ghz. Well i play on a 1080p 144hz freesync (AOC 2770g4) and i dont see alot of perfomance boost to the previous build. At games like Overwatch it barely touches 100% on the cpu and gpu (fraps min 90 max 139 avg 113,1). settings at Epic. i really dont know what it could be i reinstalled nvidia driver 388.43 and it didn´t helped thank you in advance Tiago Specs i7 4770k 4,3ghz Gigabyte H97-D3H-CF EVGA 1080ti SC Black Edition EVGA SUPERNOVA 750W G2 16 GB Corsair Lpx Deepcool Captain 240 ex 850 EVO 500GB Seagate 3TB WD 1 TB Win 10

Hey everyone, my first topic but I figured I would get some more input to deciding onmy next upgrade. Currently I have an i7 860 at 4.0Ghz with 16gb of ram and a 1070. gaming performance just isn't where I want it to be and i am looking to do an upgrade. I am torn between a 4770k that is on Craigslist locally for 400 OBO with a bad mobo. Or should I wait and upgrade to a 1600x? With the 4770k I would be able to keep the ram I currently have. Any input is gratly apreciated.

Hello, Currently running a 3770 non-k and looking to upgrade. I found a really good deal on a 4770k bundle ( about half the price of an equivalent R5 1600 setup) I also already have a custom watercooling loop so overclocking it will be good! Any ideas? Is its worth it? Thank you in advance

Hey there guys, I am having some issues with my current rig and I originally thought It was OS based but it would appear that for what ever reason my CPU is having a hard time breathing and remaining cool. So time for an upgrade - I watched the LMG video of the Air VS Water cooling and was happy to see that Air still wins the good fight, however I am well aware you always need the right tool for the job so I thought I would ask you guys what would be the ideal replacement for my crappy failing cooler. Thanks for you're time fella's! Look forward to hearing back. i7 4770k 3.5GHZ 16GB DDR4 Kingston " Hyper Beast " GTX1080 EVGA FTW Edition Asus Maximus VI

My current rig is a Core i7-4770K overclocked to 4.6GHz and a 980 Ti. I mainly use it for gaming (Diablo 3, PUBG, CODWW2, Shadows of War) and Photoshop CC 2017 work. I am debating if I should wait for Ice Lake and the GTX 2080 to come out or should I go with Coffee Lake and 1080 now? My am interested in getting 960 EVO m.2 drive as I know this should boost performance over my current 850 EVO SSD. Thoughts?

Hi all, long time channel watcher, new to the forum. I have some questions, namely, I think my motherboard (Asus Maximus VI Formula) is done. I want to test further to be certain that's the culprit, so I'll post what I've tried and what it's doing. Came home, computer was off, LEDs on the GPU and motherboard were lit up, but the case power button and the onboard power button didn't start it. I've tried removing all extraneous components and using a different power supply, and it still doesn't power on, though I occasionally see the backlighting on my keyboard flicker. I tried pulling the memory modules out and tried different modules in different slots, still nothing. Is there anything further I can test, or can I be relatively certain it's the motherboard? Now, if it is the motherboard, that leaves me with a couple of choices. It's out of warranty by a year, and replacing it new is actually $10 CAD more than when I originally bought it. Comparable LGA 1150 boards are similarly pricey. I figure if I'm going to spend >$300, I may as well upgrade since it has been 4 years. This is where I'm stuck in choice paralysis. The 7700k at least seems like a straight upgrade, and has fantastic single core and gaming performance. However, I didn't like the lack of PCI-E lanes, I had to drop my audio card out of my system to run SLI. As far as I understand, the 7700k is still at the same number of lanes, and if I want more I'll either have to go LGA 2066, AM4, or TR4. From benchmarks I've found, and for some reason they don't seem very comprehensive, both Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 seem to offer very competitive performance in games and blow it out of the water in most productivity. The 1600/X and 1700/X in particular were ones I was looking at, the 1600/X being significantly cheaper. Upgrading would of course also mean having to get a bunch of DDR4 memory, which is going to tilt the price higher, and probably getting an AM4 bracket for my cooler. The LGA 2066 option doesn't look terribly appealing, as I don't want to be spending >$700 just on a CPU and the 7800X just doesn't seem to compare well to cheaper options. So, given this scenario, what would my best options be? I understand that the 4770k is still a pretty strong CPU, but if I can still sell it for a bit of return that'll be great. Same with the RAM.

Hi, I just bought a 1080 ti and am wondering if I should upgrade my cpu to not get bottlenecked by it. My current specs are as follows 4770k clocked to 4.1 ghz 32 gb 2133 kingston memory noctua dh14 1080 ti ssd Im mainly using the computer to play playerunknowns battlegrounds and am getting pretty shitty performance. im also running windows 7, could that be a problem aswee?

I can't seem to overclock my 4770k, no matter what CPU frequency I try it crashes during stress testing, I'm trying frequencys such as 4.4ghz at 1.25v all the way up to 1.35v, and yet it still crashes. I have also tried a lot lower frequency such as 4.0ghz at around the same volts as before and it still crashes.

sli GTX 1080 Ti Zotac Amp Extreme edition SLI + i7 4770k
ironrafael09 posted a topic in Graphics Cards
Does the Core i7 4770k have enough memory lanes to be run on a dual GTX 1080 Ti Zotac Amp Extreme edition SLI setup? If it doesn't, I'm considering buying a Core i7 7700k for this. How much memory should I use? Thanks for the attention. -
Hi guys, well i asked this before in another thread, but i want to make sure its ok what i want to do. I have a 4year old i7 4770k in my current build, its ok, but i want to oc it a little bit. Like its running on 3,5 Ghz base and 3,9 boost. But i would like it to run on like 3,9-4,2 ghz. I cool it with a Corsair H100i V2 compact water cooler with 2 noctua NF F12 / or NF P12 (not sure which i should take). At the moment my cpu doesnt get over 55-60° degrees at nearly full load. And the fans are spinning at about 1100 rpm. If i let them spin at 2750 rpm i can cool it under full load at about 45-50 degrees. Will i be able to oc it, without destroying it on a, lets say 2 year basis. Or would it affect the lifespan much? Will it be much hotter? So do i have to have the fans way higher and louder, or just at more load? Thank you for your help

Hi So I´m looking to get into CPU overclocking, already done some on my GPU, and I´m wondering if my specs/temps are decent enough to even bother. I´m running the i7-4770K liquid cooled by the Antec h20 620 120mm rad. After running Prime95 for an hour my temps were maxed out at 72C. Is it worth trying to Overclock or should I get a better AIO cooler if I want to dabble in that stuff? Many Thanks!

Hi So I was wondering if the temps I´m getting from HWMonitor on my 2 different PC´s looks weird to any of you. One of my desktops is a ryzen r7 1700 with a stock cooler. It´s built in the Enthoo Evolv Micro Atx Case with 2 fans in the front, 2 top, 1 rear. My max temp when gaming is 56C The second desktop is a i7-4770K with a Antec H20 620. It´s built in a Full tower corsair obsidian (can´t remember the full name) with 2 fans in front and 2 rear fans for the radiator. My max temp when gaming is 64C To me this seems a bit sketchy. The water cooled desktop should be cooler in my mind. How much does the 2 fans in the top actually affect the airflow? And is the i7-4770K generally a warmer CPU than the Ryzen R7 1700?
