[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

Quick Question: So im testing my 3570k (OC 4.2ghz) in Prime 95 and my max voltage is 1.03V and my temperature after a few minutes is the mid-upper 60. Is the voltage safe for this stable overclock?

The last I heard, the sweet spot for 3570ks is 4.2 @ 1.1, with lower voltage being even better for ivy bridge. Upper 60's is well within the realm of a "safe" temperature, so as long as you ran the load testing for long enough (as koopa said), you should be golden

How would I do this?

If you have to ask this you've probably not done either of those. You might actually have a faulty processor. Look up how to investigate.

u should lock it.I'd run Prime95 for at least 10-15 minutes to verify it works, exactly how long did it run?

It ran for 30 minutes.

[KoopaScooper]

It ran for 30 minutes.

That's more than sufficient. Your OC seems to be stable.

Good to hear, thanks for the help.

could someone please find out how good a eyefinity radeon hd 7570 graphics card is?

I have a Radeon 7950 and my friend has a 660 ti and he is getting a better framerate then me in Saints Row The Third. Does anyone know possibly why?

Not very good compared to the other cards in the HD 7K series. If you need a card that can handle HD video decoding, that'd be one of them.
If you're looking for low/mid-end gaming, try a 7750.

The video card isn't the only thing that matters, your processor could possibly be bottlenecking you. Is the difference great or menial? A full spec list of both computers would be nice.

He's getting 100+ frames. I'm getting 60. I have an i5 3570K at 3.4 GHZ and he has the same thing at same clock.

[KoopaScooper]

I don't know, then. Are your drivers up-to-date? Are his video settings different?

His aspect ratio is 16x9. I changed mine to that to see if there is a difference but its exactly the same. And I also updated my drivers 2 months ago.

some games run better on nvidia and same goes for amd

But the game is amd optimized.

Is it a max of 60, if so you probably have V-Sync on. Also he could be at a lower resolution. But seriously, a constant 60 is fine. Actually starting at like a constant 40ish is just fine, atleast for me.

I turned Vsync off and it was the same. I was just wondering if maybe my GPU was performing poorly or if there is a defect.

Then again he might be BSing since he just got his new computer yesterday and might just want to brag about it.
