hey erocker, u mean one of the rails is weak?

what do u recommend?

but Silverstone strider 560w was supposed to be good enough. no?

silverstone psu arent the best to be quite honest

all you really need is a Seasonic X650

erocker · Sep 2, 2010

Actually, the PSU is fine. I have a feeling it's the substandard power delivery on your motherboard giving you the issues. The mobo just isn't very good unfortunately.

I'm sorry, but that just isn't very true at all.

Mavvs · Sep 2, 2010

erocker: my mobo is Asus P5KR.

it has a huge voltage drop too

.

so u mean most likely the mobo problem?? but i didnt have this problem with my old GTS 250.

so a gtx 460 would make that much of difference?

in a way it is. x650 psu are amazing. go read jonnyguru review on his website about seasonic x psu's. but then again it could be his motherboard causing him problems in which case he should get a gigabyte p45 ud3p

I know JohnnyGuru. I'm saying I've had more power hungry systems with less of a PSU. His PSU is fine... More than enough.

I had a feeling if he has to lower one overclock to further a different one, to me it has to do with power/power delivery, or the motherboard playing silly buggers.

well he asked what we recommend for a psu and i answered it.

Mavvs · Sep 2, 2010

wolf: yes, i have to downclock my CPU to overclock my gpu. its true.

im just wondering how can a gtx 460 can make that much of difference. because i never had these issues with the heavy clocked GTS 250.

thats why he was saying its a power delivery problem most likely

wolf · Sep 2, 2010

Mavvs, got a mates system you can try the card in? see what you can get out of her in another PC and you might get some clues as to what might be holding her back.

Mavvs · Sep 2, 2010

erocker: also dont u think my GTX 460 is underperforming?

i was getting 19fps wth my heavy clocked GTS 250 on the same benchmark and settings, and now with the overclocked 460 i am getting 34fps on the same settings.

no i dont know anyone who has gaming system.

thats a pretty good increase. again. what drivers are you using??

Depends on the benchmark but it doesn't sound that bad to me. For now I would just work with what you have until you can get a different motherboard. Make sure the next motherboard you get has an 8 pin CPU connector.

Mavvs · Sep 2, 2010

erocker: my current mobo has 6pin power connector, but my PSU has 8pin. so i use the 8pin for the power on the mobo. the 2 extra pins are spared out. not in use.

nvidiaintelftw: i use the official (non beta) latest driver downloaded from Nvidia site.

6 pin CPU power? wha?? I thought it was either 4 pin or 8 pin, erocker can settle this.

EDIT: in fact no I'm pretty sure it is either 4 pin or 8 pin....

Mavvs · Sep 2, 2010

wolf: oh, sorry. its 4pin

. my bad.

so extra 4 pins are spared out.

6pin?! Are you sure it's not 4 pin. I've never heard of a 6 pin CPU mobo connector.

Mavvs · Sep 2, 2010

its 4pin. sorry.

erocker: i used the similar settings and benchmark as this guy here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQNLLkazkxM&feature=related

and i am getting 6 or 7fps less than him.

but how come other reviews show that a gtx 460 can get like 50 or 60fps in Just Cause 2?

do they use fraps to test in game performance or the built-in benchmarks?

its strange.

MxPhenom 216 · Sep 2, 2010

its 4 pin

http://www.ozhardware.com.au/Motherboard-Reviews/ASUS-P5KR-Motherboard-Review.html

and that 8 pin connector your using that has the spare 2 pins thats a 6 + 2 pin pci-e connector for video cards

STOP COMPARING TO HIM! HE HAS A Core i7 RIG WHICH IS A HELL OF A LOT BETTER THEN YOUR Q8400

I agree.

Mavvs, he has an i7 930 overclocked to around 4Ghz, that should come to no supirise at all that his system is running that benchmark better. just because you have the same video card as the guy in that video, doesn't mean the performance will be the same.

Actually that is perfect then. Heck! I would think his system would do even better than yours. Your system is running nicely. :toast:

erocker: can u please recommend me a good mobo with good price from here please. http://www.extremepc.co.nz/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=110_112

none of the motherboards on that site are good. perhaps worse then your current

i cant use LGA 1156 socket mobo with my current CPU?
