EVERY TIME THAT THE NVIDIA SETTINGS/GEFORCE EXPERIENCE THING POPS UP UNDER THE SYSTEM TRAY, MY GAME CRASHES.
Been a while since I was here, but here's my current PC.
Ghetto anti-sag technology and all.
Nice rig mate, are those Noctua iPPC fans I'm seeing? And what cards are those?
A silent rig doesn't have to be weak, just have to get good fans and a good cooler. For CPU some Noctuas on it would be good, and some of the new GPUs literally never even spin under a small load, like the 960, doesn't even heat up enough for the fans to cool it with 4K x265 video going.
First of all my card is an EVGA gtx 970 SSC w/ ACX 2.0+ cooling.
The fans don't even come on until 60 C and my card even oc during firestrike never got higher than 71 so I used stock fan profile. I did 1 run at 100% fan and it sounded like a helicopter was taking off- f'ing loud as ****.
Since this card is a super superclocked base core clock is 1190 Mhz and boost clock is 1342 Mhz (standard 'reference' card is 1050/1178).
Ran firestrike default settings just prior to starting and got 9700 as is.
Well this card doesn't oc much at all (above the factory oc )
+95 on core clock stable
- crashed at +100 and trying to overvolt didn't help at all went as high as +45mv w no effect.
+250 memory stable - anomolies (banding and 'stripes') at 300 and didn't really check in between.
Best run firestrike run 10,347 which was an anomaly as all others were 10,100's
Is 10.3k its graphics score? or overall score?
Surely the graphics score is much more than that as a single 780 scores 11.4k (sli off).
I've been thinking about going to a smaller case, I just worry about cable management. I don't wanna spend a bunch on custom ones just to get the fit. But only one GPU (970), one HDD and an SSD... not like I need a full case. I carry mine around enough to warrant something better.
