    Question Worth upgrading from GTX1070 to RTX3070 on Z170 board w/ i7-6700K?

    So you don't believe my i7 and current board would be big bottlenecks?

    Question Worth upgrading from GTX1070 to RTX3070 on Z170 board w/ i7-6700K?

    Also, this post came up because I saw Nvidia's 3070 card on Best Buy at $499 MSRP. Sold out now. But that data point indicates to me that prices are more reasonable. Willing to spend $500-600 for a solid 3070 card.

    Question Worth upgrading from GTX1070 to RTX3070 on Z170 board w/ i7-6700K?

    Ah, yes, forgot to mention this. 1440 monitor. Recently finished Witcher 3. Currently playing Horizon Zero Dawn. In both cases, I made adjustments downward in quality to get smoother gameplay. Would love to see them at max quality settings.

    Question Worth upgrading from GTX1070 to RTX3070 on Z170 board w/ i7-6700K?

    Post title pretty much asks the question. My current PC is a i7-6700K on Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 5 board with a Gigabyte GTX1070 GPU. I would probably see performance gains with a RTX3070. But is the CPU and motherboard so old that the limitations outweigh the gains? I just don't feel like...

    Unstable i7-6700K build at 4.5GHz

    Ah, I didn't realize that the Hyper 212 EVO would not be good enough for OCing. What CLC would you recommend? Thanks!

    Unstable i7-6700K build at 4.5GHz

    I've just put together a new build based on an i7-6700K, Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 5 m/b, 16 GB of g.skill DDR4-3200 RAM, and a Hyper 212 EVO cooler with Arctic Silver 5. Running Prime95 at stock speeds with small FTTs, I'm getting about 65C. With XMP on, at 4.4GHz, it jumps up to about 74C. At...

    6850 @ 1440 possible?

    Just tried this, and DP still not working. I just read through the Dell monitor forum, and it seems that this is an issue with the monitor, and possibly for those that were manufactured last fall though don't quote me on that. Seems like they're swapping out monitors that have this issue.

    6850 @ 1440 possible?

    Ok, I just tried DP, and nothing displayed after I switched it to the DP input on the monitor. It just goes to power saving mode. Do I need to change any settings on my PC before switching from HDMI to DP? Unfortunately, the monitor does not have DVI.

    6850 @ 1440 possible?

    Sapphire Radeon HD 6850

    6850 @ 1440 possible?

    Yes, that's correct. I tried using DP, but it wouldn't display even after setting the input to DP. I haven't used the DP port in the 6 years that I've had the GPU. I'll try it again.

    6850 @ 1440 possible?

    So, in anticipation of getting a GTX 1070 later this summer, I bought a Dell S2716DG 27" monitor as it was at a pretty good price on Amazon. I just received it now, and havent' been able to get my PC to switch to 2560x1440. I have a 6850 - does it even support 2560x1440? If yes, how can I get...

    PC upgrade or new build?

    Thanks for the feedback. My budget for just a GPU is around $200 +/-30. I did some reading on Anandtech and I particularly liked this chart: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/9801/380X_9.jpg. Given I have a 1080 monitor, the R9 380 sounds about right. I did forget to mention that I was...

    PC upgrade or new build?

    Looks like we were typing at the same time. You just answered the key questions I had on my most recent post. Should I wait for the next gen GPUs?

    PC upgrade or new build?

    I'm leaning in this direction. I guess I was doing a sanity check in case there was one thing that I could do that would be a small investment, but really improve game performance (e.g. GPU). I could maybe just update the GPU to current generation, and if that doesn't cut it, then buy the rest...

    PC upgrade or new build?

    1920x1080 on a 24-inch monitor. D3 and SC2 run fine, but not in ultra like it used to. I have them at medium right now. At high or ultra, there's a lot of fan noise and some frame drop.

    PC upgrade or new build?

    I haven't overclocked it. Not something I've done before. I guess it's something I can research and see how much time I have to spend on it.

    PC upgrade or new build?

    I have a build from 2010. As you can see from my signature below, it's rather old with the key specs being an i5-760 and Radeon HD 6850. I was thinking of just updating the GPU, but I think the biggest issue I have is that my motherboard isn't 6 Gbps SATA, it's 3 Gbps SATA. Is it worth...

    How much better is R7 260X over my 6850?

    Guys - thanks for the insights. Got a lot of good information. Given that I'm not experiencing any issues with my 6850 and it can handle the games that I'm playing now, along with the R7 260X not providing a big step function improvement in performance, it doesn't make sense for how much I'm...

    How much better is R7 260X over my 6850?

    So, I was reading the latest video card guide on Anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8662/best-video-cards-october-2014). I saw that the R7 260X (~$99) is good for "1080p (low)". Back when I bought by 6850, it was considered good for "1080p (med)". But I have to assume that the R7 260X...

    SATAIII SSD on SATAII port for nettop

    Hi all, I have an Acer Revo 3610 that runs an Atom 330, 2GB RAM, and a 5400rpm HDD. I was considering installing a SSD as it has lately slowed to a crawl. I've read a few reviews and installs from a couple of years ago when this unit first came out, and that an SSD greatly improved the...

    Using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic

    Just bought 2 x 2TB WD Reds for a Synology DS213. I decided to use WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for the first time to make sure there are no issues. I was disappointed with the output of the extended test. It didn't say whether there were any bad sectors. Maybe that is a good thing (i.e. there...

    How to test HD for NAS

    Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying a Synology DS213 and getting 2 2TB WD Reds. I've read many references to testing HDs using the Ultimate Boot CD. However, those references have never been very specific as to process or which tools. How does one actual test a new HD that is going into a NAS...

    Need help configuring Zonet ZSR4174WE

    Nevermind, I just figured it out. It was indeed the fact that I was trying to change the configuration over wireless. I used a spare D-Link router that I had, configured it so that it had an IP address of 192.168.2.2 (Zonet is pre-configured as 192.168.2.1) and a dynamic IP address range of...

    Options for global portable wireless router

    Hi, I've seen a few travel wireless routers like Asus' WL-330gE and Trendnet's TEW-654TR. Are these usable for global use? I understand that usage of WiFi spectrum varies by region and/or country. Does anyone have other suggestions to create a local WiFi network while using a hotel room's...

    Explain disk imaging to me.

    So I see that Corky uses Acronis. What do you others use for cloning? Do they all have bootable disc capability? Any of them free? I've read about Macrium Reflect and EASEUS Todo Backup Home, which can be downloaded and used for free as a home user, but they do not provide Windows PE...

    Win7 system re-install using OEM disc

There's an excellent guide on doing this at http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq/432564-hp-laptop-out-box-guide-2-0-windows-7-a.html. However, I wanted to know whether I can...

    Need clarification on CPU fan speed control

    Actually, I did try Prime95 last night and after running for about 15 minutes (it was late and needed to go to sleep), temps got up to about 35C/95F while my fan was running around 1200 RPM (level 5). After I stopped running it, it dropped back to 23C/73F within 2 minutes. I'll try running it...

    Need clarification on CPU fan speed control

    After playing around with the settings some more, I've decided to leave it at Level 5. Level 10 has the fan spinning at 2000 RPM and you can definitely hear it. At Level 5, I don't hear the fan, and it keeps the CPU running pretty cool. I was running Handbrake again this evening and even at...

    Need clarification on CPU fan speed control

    When I built my PC, I left the CPU fan at 100% because I wasn't sure whether I had installed my Hyper 212+ properly. Actually, I was more concerned about my application of the thermal paste due to the uneven surface from the heatpipes. So I wanted to make sure the CPU was getting the most...

    Samsung Spinpoint F3 setup

    I was reading somewhere a few days ago (can't remember where specifically) that the Samsung Spinpoint F3 has a jumper configuration that you need to set in order to run at 3.0 Gbps SATA. I didn't check the jumper configuration before installing the HD into my case. Is there a way to confirm...

    how to hook up fans in a CM Storm Scout

    I am also using a Storm Scout case and when I was working through all the cabling, I noticed that all of the fans are connected to the PSU. None of them are connected to my motherboard. So I assume they are just running at 100%, right? Should I just trace each cable from each fan, and plug...

    Seeking comment on new system build

    Thanks to everyone for their comments and feedback. My rig has been running without issue these past couple of days. Playing SC2 at ultra settings is a wonder! I haven't played a real PC game in ages, not since the first SC came out.

    so what's the story with video cards with HDMI? do i get sound?

    Thanks for the confirmation. Now I guess it's a matter of whether I want nicer cable management behind my monitor, or keep it as is. Most likely the latter since it's already set up.

    Auto vs manual setting of RAM voltage

    Amen to that. My rig's been running solidly over the course of 3 days - no BSOD yet (knock on wood).

    so what's the story with video cards with HDMI? do i get sound?

    For clarification, sending video and audio is only possible over HDMI, but not DVI, correct? I probably should just try it, but right now, my 6850 is connected to my Asus VH242 via DVI and a separate audio cable from my motherboard I/O panel.

    Seeking comment on new system build

    The memory timings are showing up as per spec: 9-9-9-24-2N. Are these the only ones I need to be concerned about? The page in BIOS that has the timings also has a long list of other settings. All my legacy peripherals are turned off, and I have AHCI turned on.
