I've set mine at 85C but to be honest it never goes over 80 anyway if you set a good fan curve.
We have a... unique twist on it.
This seems to have fixed it (Nvidia Inspector), thanks!

Hi guys, great thread. This is a bit delayed because I couldn't post after joining 6 weeks ago. Anyway...
I have a i5 2500k @4.4 and water cooled gtx 480 @900 MHz. Was waiting for gtx 770 to upgrade, but when they arrived were just refreshed 6 series. So my question is would I see the increase in frame rates in the games that need it (crysis 3, metro et al) with a 770 or should I wait till maxwell/8 series for new tech.

Since you've waited this long, seems like 780 or 8 series would be your best bet, unless you absolutely want more performance now.
If your budget isn't tight, could grab a 770 now and then resell it upon new cards releasing. Also have a 7970 Lightning w/ EK block I'll be looking to offload soon, if you are interested.

It seriously doesn't matter at all. As long as it can breathe, you're fine.
So I've been looking around for lower profile ram and I was going to get this:
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CML16GX3M2A1600C10/dp/B007TG8QRW/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
But the reviews are saying that its misleading and its 1300mhz instead of the 1600mhz it advertised, so I looked around a bit more and found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-PC3-12800-240-Pin-BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00/dp/B006YG9EEW/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1375483505&sr=8-14&keywords=16+gb+ram
Users vouch that it does as advertised, your thoughts Gaf, will it fit me or is there an issue there as well?

Down so it can suck cool air in and then blow it out.
It is 1600MHz, it just needs enabled in the BIOS via XMP otherwise it defaults to 1333.
keep 680 dude, wait till 8xx
Thanks man! I've mounted everything into my case and now just need to connect the rest of the cables. I've already connected both the motherboard power cables, and the smaller one was a bitch to reach when feeding the cable around the back, but I managed somehow.
CPU was piss easy to install but I had a bit of a scare with my enourmos heatsink and the plate that holds it on the top side of the motherboard, but managed after a *sweaty* while.
Should be completely finished tomorrow afternoon!

Seriously. On my first day I was running BioShock Infinite like a dream. Amazing graphics, unstoppable framerate, the works. Now the I can't get past the 2K logo without the game stuttering.
The only difference I can think of is I'm now have my monitor and TV hooked up as opposed to just my TV. Google is saying that shouldn't matter.

No answers?

well, then it had to come from somewhere. Though from the pics you posted, im not sure it would have come from where you ended up putting it.
go through and see if anything seems loose? see if maybe there looks like a screw missing elsewhere? up load better pic/angle of where you did place it?
If you already have a 3930K, probably not going to be worth it.

What's the proper procedure for completely uninstalling Nvidia drivers? I'm having some issues with the newest beta drivers (326.41) and I would like to go back to the most recent non-beta ones.
It's weird, I've never had any issues with any other GPU driver before but this one is giving me all sorts of grief. My third display input is suddenly not recognised at all, games are basically guaranteed to crash if I change the resolution while in-game, and Photoshop is not displaying images as smoothly as it did before.

Makes sense if its a gpu screw because he had to reinstall my 680 a few months ago and had to change the slot and unscrew the back covers. Does it look like a motherboard or cooler screw?
I just ordered one myself yesterday for this very purpose and as a secondary monitor. It should serve you just fine.
Great to hear!
Looks like I'll be purchasing one pretty darn soon then.
Thank you both!

i agree, get low profile ram, it is practical and the in thing now. Those heatspreaders dont do much, just to obstruct your heat sink.
I like Seasonic G550 over BP550. Aside from Gold efficiency, seasonic has rather good warranty and the build of their PSU and cables feels great your hands. Wont go for other brands unless Seasonic quality goes downhill.
If i were you, i will just bite the bullet and get Haswell. Prices have stablised to be around the same. The overclocking and heat is the same as IB, in fact people have tested it to be more stable with WHEA errors than IB.
The only problem i can see with a Haswell setup is the USB3 sleep bug, not sure if the batch of motherboards have included the revision.

Guys is there a reason why Blood Dragon causes my fans to get super loud? No other game I have played on my brand new PC does this. I have beaten Mass Effect 3, Far Cry 2, Human Revolution and Mass Effect 1 since I built my PC about a month ago.
The fans start going even before I get in the game. They start going faster at the title screen.
Specs:
4770k - coolermaster 212 evo
7970ghz
16gb corsair veng

honestly, from the pic, I couldnt tell if it was a watermelon
I ordered the CM Storm Quickfire XT. I'm loving the red Cherry switches. However, none of the reviews I saw discussed about how short the <CTRL> keys are. In making this keyboard compact, a key that I use very often is now really difficult to use, (keep hitting the Windows key to the right of it).
Going to try it for a few days and see if I can get used to it. If I can't, then I'm going to return it and go with the Corsair K70.

See:
BitFenix Prodigy
ASUS ITX
XFX PRO 550W
ASUS... GTX760 / 770?
Will that fix the problem considering that fans are still super loud even when playing the game, not just in the menus?
Er...how would I do that btw? Somewhere in the Catalyst control center?
AMD? Your card is probably downclocking/locking up. Check GPUz on the second screen while running some benchmark. If so, make sure you're on the latest drivers, then OC using the catalyst control panel overdrive settings.
That's what did it for me, and was the only way I could get settings to stick. Otherwise, my 7950 would go into this throttling frenzy with one monitor, and just lock itself at 500mhz with two.
If it's also in game, then make a custom fan profile in MSI Afterburner!
The XFX is more expensive here then all of those, so that's a no-go. Bequiet is sold here but the dark power units are also a bit more expensive.
My system is:
4670k @ 4.8
HD7950 @ 1200/1600
Gigabyte z87x-UD4H
D5 pump
1xHDD, 1xSSD
5xScyte GT AP-15 + 1xFractal 140mm fan
So 650W should be enough. But the seasonic made units in the 750W and 850W categories seem to be the best, so I thought I'd go with one of those.

Is toms pretty accurate? Because if I can get solder instead of thermal grease on Ivy-E, that's minus 50 points to

4670k is the same price as 3570k at amazon. no contest, get the haswell here.
pair with something like msi gaming g45 z87 and you are set. haswell build wins in all quarters aside the usb3 sleep bug.
overclockers are reporting haswell throws up much less whea errors than ivy at the same overclock levels. both systems will get you to 4.4ghz at 1.2-1.24v, safe levels all round.

Newegg isn't matching, but it's nice to see Amazon has it lower for now.
No, but they linked the source: http://www.coolaler.com/showthread.php/305405

How is Haswell heat compared to Ivy if I don't plan on overclocking?
If you don't want to overclock it really doesn't matter. Heat starts to become an issue with overclocks.
You might as well go W8Thoughts on this build?
