Upgrading CPU/RAM/MOBO... video card upgrade?

Oh, the rest of the system specs are just what I've already got: NXXT gamma case with 5 120mm case fans (3 push, 2 pull with one over the video cards), Hyper 212+ with dual 120mm case fans push/pull, Sandisk Extreme 120GB SSD sata 3, a DVD-RW, two storage drives (my old 250 GB sata and my...

Upgrading CPU/RAM/MOBO... video card upgrade?

I'm actually pretty set on getting the 477x i7 because it's faster in productivity software and encoding/decoding than the i5, and also because everything I've been reading even from developers is that games will start to use more than 4 threads in the next year or two because of the consoles...

Upgrading CPU/RAM/MOBO... video card upgrade?

I'm planning on finally moving on from my Q6600 to an 4770 (or maybe 4771) this Christmas. I already have a 7850 2GB that overclocks well to 1050/5000 without any problems that I've seen. I have a few questions regarding the video card. First of all, my resolution is 1080p, 60hz. My...

Budget card for my old Q6600 rig

I have a Q6600 at 3.06 ghz (340x9) and I have it paired with a 7850 2GB @1150/5500 and I can play any game at 1080p with very high settings. I keep the AA to 2x. I haven't tried Crysis 3 yet, but it's still a decent system to run at 30fps+ in modern games with this card. My suggestion is a...

The Radeon 7850 is an overclocking beast

I got my HIS 2gb standard card up to 1175/5500 on stock voltages. Here's the odd thing: Adjusting voltage at all seems to result in problems. The only reason I used the Asus utility is because it unlocked the higher speeds on the catalyst center, even after uninstalling the Asus utility. I...

Q6600 to Haswell or Ivybridge?

I'm in the exact same boat. Q6600 and planning an upgrade, but I don't think I'll be doing my upgrade until Christmas or February 2014 at the latest. I was hoping that steamroller FX would be out by then, but that's not likely to happen anymore, is it?

The Radeon 7850 is an overclocking beast

I'm on an aging platform (Q6600 @3.06 ghz with bus at 340 and memory at 510 for 1020mhz), but I couldn't pass up a deal I saw on [H] forums for a HIS 7850 2GB. Paid 140 shipped, just sold my 5850 for 135 shipped. After paypal and ebay fees, this was a 20 dollar upgrade. Anyway, I'm CPU...

OCing my 7850..safe voltage ?

I just got a used 7850 (HIS standard, not IceQ) for 140 off of the [H] forums. It's ASIC quality is 85% and it has a very low stock voltage of 1.075. I set it to 1000 core and 1250 memory at stock voltage and it never gets above 65 C in the Heaven bench 4.0. For me, that's a perfect...
