Will do.
Here's what HWInfo tells me. This is while running Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition
Max 3.4GHz. Your CPU is not OC.
Task Manger seems to show it jumping around all over the place. Saw it go to 4GHz once or twice. Seems to jump between 3.1-3.8 This is only while I'm on the desktop though
Could someone explain overclocking and voltage / power limits to me? By default, my 750 ti boosts up to 1320 MHz without a 6-pin, and GPU-Z says it's at a voltage limit. OC'ing a bit more sometimes has GPU-Z saying it's power limited too, and I think it may have led to a few DirectX error crashes too. Is it worth using the 6-pin to try to do anymore than what GPU boost already does? The core clock can't go much higher than +100 before the display driver crashes, although the memory could manage +600 or more without immediately crashing.
Are you saying that you DON'T have the 6 pin power connector attached? Because if you have one of the 750 ti's with one, you should attach it.

2600k turbos to 3.8GHz at stock settings.

A 2600K can turbo boost up to 3.8GHz on 1 core. The more cores used the less the turbo boost increase.
Run HWInfo in Sensor Info Only and it will show you min/max/current CPU speed on all cores, temps and so on.
You're amazing
i changed the cooler/ram/power supply i sticked with the Tri-X just because the price difference was minimal and it looks like it's more quiet and gets less hot compared to the other models
I also fell in love with this case while browsing lol
It costs more but it would fit my room much better, color and all lol
Should i?
It's not attached :/ I guess I must have just assumed originally that the 750 ti didn't OC to the point that it would need more power than the PCI could provide. So could those DirectX crashes I had be the result of the GPU needing more power than it had access to? If I plug in the 6-pin and power limit isn't an issue, is it safe to OC as high as it can go without the display driver crashing? I'm kinda interested in how high the memory speed can get.

It could be possibly related, yeah. I'd DEFINITELY attach it though, you basically have no reason not to anyway.
Whats your budget and the rest of your system?

Still haven't ordered a video card, waiting for the GTX 970 drama to run its course. :\ I think I have everything else I need to put my PC together this weekend.
Did I need to get thermal paste for my cooler (Hyper 212 EVO)?

I dunno where to post this situation I got but I figured maybe someone on here can help me..
I built a computer for someone (simple pc with dual core, m-itx, ssd, 8GB ram) and it wouldnt power on with a 430w power supply. I tested another power supply I had on my main computer (600W Modular) and it powered on. Cool.
Returned it to Newegg and got a replacement. It still wouldnt power on with the replacement 430W. I was perplexed but maybe the computer needed more W. I got 500, and it happened again where it wouldnt power on. i was so confused...
Today I returned that 500 and got 600W (same one from my computer but not modular (shouldnt make a difference anyway)) and when i tried to turn it on, smoke came out of the area where the power supply connects to the CPU.
Im at a loss of words as to what happened. =( I cant figure it out.
To clarify - I only had the mobo connect to the CPU, mobo and SSD. Nothing else.

The fan should be blowing air through the cooler toward the back of the case. So, front next to ram.
Probably, a bad MB.

Current Build:
i5 2500k not OC'd
8GB RAM
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe
660ti GTX
550ti GTX (for Physx)
I want to slowly update my PC and buy all the parts separately, but yet, still use it since I have limited space. Replacing the MOBO is going to be last so what is the first thing to buy that will give me a noticeable with frame rates? CPU or GPU? I can spend $300 for each.

Just overclock the CPU and you won't need a new mobo/CPU/RAM. Upgrade to a new GPU and overclock and you'll be good for another ~2 years.
Overclock CPU to 4.4-4.5GHz and buy a new video card. Next time, OC the CPU on day one. You could have been enjoying the speed increase for 3 years now.

Not sure if it's the right place to ask, but what would be a good asking price for a used EVGA gtx 670 ftw that is in perfect clean condition and has a stable potential OC of around 1290-1300MHz, with original box, poster, stickers, parts, etc? I am trying to sell mine and will probably pop into the BST thread
They seem to go for about $120 - $150 on ebay.
How much are you willing to part with it for? Was thinking about adding a 2nd 670 in SLI.

I believe when I got mine, it came with a tube of thermal paste in the box.

Thats the weird thing. it powered on fine with my other power supply but not this one i got today which was essentially the same thing.
You tried many PSU and it only worked with one. The MB seem flaky. And, now that's smoked / burnt, try new MB.

I have a coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo on my mobo, is there a better fan I can grab at Microcenter or is that fine? I'm headed there in a bit. What is recommended to get it safely to say....4.5GHz? I know there are methods online to overclocking with that particular Mobo since at one time (still do??) the 2500k and Asus P8P67 were the recommended combo but is there a decent cooling solution without having to resort to refrigeration? I'll do so if I must though.
The fan that came with 212 is fine. It's just a little loud under high speeds.
To OC:
1) Set Core Voltage to 1.35V
2) Change CPU multiplier to 45 All Cores.
That's it.

I see that it has some but it could be junk.
Oh Sandy Bridge, how I miss you.
Getting an issue that I'm hoping you guys can help me with.
I'm downloading windows 8.1 using the create installation media tool (on a flash drive), but every time the download finishes I get an error code saying access is denied. Anything I can do? I'm the administrator and only user.

Can u post a screengrab? Did u approve admin rights before launching the program (Popup window talking about if you want to allow access)
I'm having it go again now (I specifically ran it as administrator this time), so fingers crossed. Didn't get a popup though. Should finish in about an hour or less. I'll take a screenshot if it doesn't work
Should be fine if you ran at as admin. I would assume you didn't popup because u have it disabled. Good luck
Depends on our room temps and case air flow. More important is what is the temps under full load, like when running Prime95.
Room temperature is 25°C.
I'll try Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition and see how hot it gets

Well, I guess you can't go wrong playing it safe. I hope that TX750 V1 still has a long life ahead of it.

Go ahead if you like, you have the money for it and it's better than the Cooler Master N500. I put together a build for family of a friend using the Corsair C70, it was a very pleasant experience.
Sounds like you should be able to just swap in the parts, no problem. Have you decided on a motherboard yet?
Tom's Hardware did a test with quite a few different models of thermal paste. If you had gotten Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste (well-regarded as accessible but high quality) you would have seen temperature differences of no more than 2-3 degrees or so, assuming correct application and depending on factors like your PC room's ambient temperature, case airflow, etc. It's not really something to be concerned about.
Are you on a limited user account or something? That's really weird. Can you run through the program again, but this time choose "ISO file" instead of USB drive? That will save the ISO to a location on your computer instead. It may not make much of a difference, but you need the ISO in order to use unofficial tools to load it onto a USB drive, and this is still the best way to get the official Windows ISO, rather than using shifty download sources.
Nah, I've never had any issues like this before. I downloaded an official iso from Dreamspark before, but I didn't know what to do with it. Can you point me in the right direction for a tool?
Thinking of this one:

been trying to OC my a10-6800k with AMD's overdrive. Goes up to 4.9ghz fine but then when I try to run Steam it blue screens. Not sure why that is, since it runs fine and pretty cool on full load with the tests. Trying to go into Bios and change the settings but it doesn't seem to translate once I run the system info programs in Windows. Upped the voltage and it still says 1.4, I think.

I got the Sennheiser HD 650 Headphones! What sound card would go together well with my headphones?
Or are the Magni 2 and Modi 2 good options?

great choice. I used to own those but I had to sell them
I used to own the NuForce Icon HDP amp for mine. It does 24 bit.

So I just built my very first PC! Very excited, it was extremely nerve racking trying to build it on my own with nothing but a gaming friend over skype guiding me on what to do. Here's my build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CWmGwP
Anyways, everything seems to be going fine except one thing, I am getting no audio output. I imagine since I'm getting video output that I installed the GPU correctly. I tried clicking on the audio icon in the bottom right and it says I have audio, but clearly I don't. Any suggestions? Is this even the right thread for this?
