Hello All I'm looking for some hive mind ideas into some performance issues we're having with one of our systems. I'm running out of ideas! System specs CPU- Z https://valid.x86.fr/n2lv2h GPU-Z- https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/details/53w52 Benchmarks are giving disappointing results...

Hi guys, Building a broadcasting box for work, mainly running livestream studio. Any advice or changes / any problems ...let me know, very much appreciated. Asus X99-E WS Socket 2011-v3 8-Channel HD Audio CEB Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (4x16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Memory...

Hi Guys, After some advise. I'm thinking about updating the graphics card to cope with some of the newer games. I'm not sure if the rest of my system is going to cause a bottleneck though? I'm debating either a new R9 390 8gb or purchasing 2x 6950 / 6970 and cross-firing them. The long...

Hi guys, I think my gpu might be starting to die. It keeps crashing / artifacting in sleeping dogs no matter what settings / configurations .etc I think its the gpu, However the crash does produce a noise (litterally sounds like a deamon of a horror film) through the speakers. Anyway, is...

Hello folks, First of all, merry christmas to everyone... I really only want input from people who have experienced both chips on this... 1090ts included :cool: My 1100t, very nice and a good little chip, but shes starting to fall behind. I dont want to be swapping my rig out for something...

Hi Guys, I have a HD 6950 2gb flashed with the 6970 bios, Now that there rather cheap on ebay i'm planning on going crossfire at christmas. My question is, do i buy a 2gb 6950, rather cheap, or do i buy a 6970 2gb, bit more expensive? Jimmy

Hi Guys, I finally I got my SSD installed and configured. I have to say considering the hype around SSDs i've not been that impressed so far. It seems to be taking a long time to boot windows and shut down. I've done all the windows optimization the internet suggests. I.e reducing paging file...

Hi Guys, I've had my Samsung spinpoint f3 fail me this week. A nasty crash in ubuntu and it seems the heads hit the platter and have written off most of the drive. Not all bad but quite a lot of films and iso's gone. Thank god for dropbox, no important stuff lost. So I need a replacement. I...

Hi Guys, Need some advice but I realise that this is a rather niche thing. I need to get a triple monitor stand. A recent house move has meant that I've had to get a smaller desk, theres just not the room for 3x screens and the rest of the stuff I need on my desk. I have 3x 24" Benq g2420hds...

Hi Guys, It's a bit embarrassing to say that haven't got an SSD in my rig yet, it was one of the things that I compromised on when I built my rig 18 months ago and never got round to /had the money sort out - I feel like I've been missing out a bit! Really I'm after some general advice. Is...

Hi Guys, I'm about to invest in another monitor for my system (so i can have 3:cool:). I was messing around in CCC last night and noticed that my idle temp for my GPU is 61 degrees. I've read somewhere that the idle temp shoots up when you add another monitor so i'm a bit concerned. I've 3dmark...

Hey Guys, Finally got round updating Crysis two to directx 11 and the high res texture pack. My gpu is struggling big time. Frames are whey down. Do you think i could get it good on full with the card overclocked or should i just buy another 6950 and crossfire them? Specs ASUS CROSSHAIR...

Hey guys, I'm getting a fairly awful performance out of my cooler master v8 when overclocking. I know it should do better than this! Overclocked Idle temp - 42 Load temp - 60+ Running on stock settings Idle temp - 38 Load temp - 49 Its an 1100t processor overclocked to 4ghz with stock...
