I think I hit my GPU's limit. With voltage and fan speed maxed (+87mv, fan was 100%, giving me 59-60°C), open air, I managed to bench my 970 at 1356MHz core (+305, boosts to around ~1545mhz avg in valley, max is ~1590mhz) and 7.92GHz memory (+420 or so). Even that was not super stable, I'd say...

Just spent some time overclocking my 970 last night. It's a full reference nvidia model (the one with the Titan cooler) and has 72% ASIC Is this above/below average? Especially considering its reference. It was stable for heaven and 3dmark (I think I saw one artifact at one point, but I...

Really? I was not aware

212 evo should fit I thought, and I recently read a comparison of 200r and 300 v2 and the 200r was favored for some pretty good reasons

True, but aren't they in store pickups? If I can get that deal for him I will definitely replace the i5 with i7 and add in a good drive

Yeah ik for game the Tahiti LE is much faster. I was just unsure about CS6 And I'll look into the velociraptors, though that may be a later upgrade just like the SSD if we don't get one on sale

•the extra space isn't a problem, and there's not many mATX cases around the 200r's price that are equal quality and ease of use (at least I thought, I could be wrong) •would a 660 really be much faster than a Tahiti LE? And he wanted the best card under 250 so I thought it would be a good deal...

I'll look at the CPU+mobo combo, but the GPU I chose is a Tahiti LE, not Pitcairn

I must have been crazy not to choose the Asrock one, though the gigabyte ones a bit expensive He's not doing much audio, and a velociraptor isn't cheap....right?

I understand maybe Asrock, but I thought gigabytes more budget motherboards weren't great while I've heard good things about the G45 Which ones are you thinking of?

Hi my friend is getting a new PC for after effects, photoshop and gaming and together we came up with these parts. Computer Specs Case: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel structure ... Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turb... Graphics: PowerColor AX7870...

Just wondering, seeing as its awhile before i buy a Tj08 to replace it

Just added a fan, 660 stays as cool now, when given a healthy overclock, as it was @stock before:toast: System pic Info :rockout: Now I just gotta need to the extra $$ for an SSD, sound card, and RAM :laugh:

May I join? :P System pic, this is how it stands:p Info :rockout:
