Quote:Originally Posted by Watagump I have nothing against Prime, but no one builds a PC to run benchmarks only. It does no good to pass Prime if things you really do have issues. BF3 and Crysis 3 both crashed for me when I was...

The newest beta has treated me very well. I would keep testing with 320 and then try revisiting 320.14.

That sounds like a rocking setup. 5 hours is good, but most will suggest 12. I'd say go for 6-7 and call it a day (or do 12 if you want, I just never have time to do 12 and I never leave my computer on when I'm out or even asleep ) 70C...

Beautiful case... I would try to bunch the cables as best as possible. This is where zip ties come in handy. Don't make a chaotic bundle, but definitely tie them together to reduce space utilization. Then, I would try to press it...

With the Scythe, you should be able to achieve 4.5Ghz pretty well. Just watch voltages and and temperatures. Try keeping the voltage under 1.3 and temps below 80C (85C if you must). Do you know how to overclock? If so, have you been...
