wooww, where do you live ?? i got a friend in US, is spensive to send the GTX670-OC there ?? maybe you just have it lying arround with dust, i dont care dust, i know how to clean it

I live in Australia. The GTX670-OC got sold when I got the GTX680-SOC's, because my wife didn't want to upgrade her GTX570-OC back then.

She doesn't really need the GTX680-SOC, because she only play's games like Diablo-3, but I want to put the GTX570-OC in a spare Dell with a Q8200 in it and use it as a media-player / media-server, because it has only a HD4350 in it.

My wife should still benefit a bit from the larger VRAM.

The GTX680-SOC-2GB are almost impossible to get now, at least in Australia.

I only found them via eBay now, where they sell for ~AU$300,- (used) and ~AU$800,- (new).

I paid ~AU$550,- for each back then (new).

The GTX670-OC goes for ~AU$250,- (used) on eBay.

I found a GTX680-OC on eBay with a starting bid of only C$150,-: Click

wow !! the cooling is passive ?? this thing get hots ?? like ~80 full load ?

I can get it up to ~78C with my max Overclock and the fans on maybe ~50-60%. The cooling is quite good, but the fans are a bit noisy at 100%, because they are so small.

You can fit a EK-Waterblocks (full-cover) on it and reduce the slot-size from 3 down to 2:

WFT !!!

WFT !!!

Yeah, they are Monster-GPU's, but they are the fastest 680's "out-of-the box" you can buy.

 

[Agiel]

will it work with a Thermaltake TR2 600w ?? 56amps ??

 

[TONSCHUH]

It should be enough. Will double-check when I'm back home, what power-connectors the GPU needs.

 

[TONSCHUH]

You will unfortunately need at least a 650W-PSU, possible because you need 2x 8-pin PCIe-Power-Connectors for 1 GPU.

I ran both with an Antec HCG-900W and would at least use a 750W-PSU for one, to have some overhead.

The Antec HCG-900W will end up in my wife's rig and her Antec TP-750W "new" will go with the GTX570-OC into the Dell.

Like my 2x GTX780-Ti-GHz-Edition draw ~800W in total (with the rest of my rig) with the Corsair AX1200i, but there are user's which had a 1000W-Seasonic-PSU, which is generally a good brand, but got power-cut-out's / crashes etc. That's one of the reasons why I went for a newer and stronger PSU for them. I would have liked to get the Antec HCP-1300W, but it was out of stock and I didn't want to wait for it to come back in.

Every PSU looses "strength" when it ages and therefor it's just better and saver not to cut back on your PSU, especially if you overclock on top of it.

Better spend a bit more for the PSU, than to replace your whole rig after your PSU killed everything.

yes my friend, my Thermaltake has 1x6pin and 1x8pin PCI-Exp connector, its 600W but over 588W it go below 80% efficiency, over 588W maintain the 82 ~ 86% ... the other thing to have into consideration is Watts, HDD, DVD, CPU and Fans ... i think 750W will be ok, i'll go with 800 ~ 850W ... just to be safe, i don't like to be in the edge ... need to have some margen ...

a month ago i have a i3 3220 wich is ok for overall gaming, and then Crisys 3 came, and Metro Last Light, and the i3 could\t hold, i was lucky that a friend od mine was in the way to leave Cuba to Holland and leave me his little Monster i5 3570K, so iwas from 55TDP to 77TDP, i was trying to convince him to lend me his z77x but no way hahaha so im stuck with my B75M thing ... i got the beast in a cage ... no OC yet ... this peace of crap does't let me OC or at least have a decent Massures, Gigabyte make sure with therir medium ~ low Mobos coz all the meassurement are messed up, and the 5V is missing ...


thaks god i have decent RAMS, a friend it's leaving the coutry to switzerland and im planing to get his CX650 ... i hope he wants to ...

im sure this is not the place to post this question, but, can any one tell me why is Windows making this error ... im not OC'ing nothing, everything is stock ...

I'm not sure as it seems to work correctly for me in Windows-8.1-Pro-WMC-x64.

Would have to do some research about it.

Good luck with getting some better parts !


I play all kind of games, but mainly FPS like BF4 / Titanfall etc. .

At the moment I try to finally finish Dead Space 3.

i have:
Core i5 3570K Stock
GA B75M-HD3
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz XMP1
xfx HD7850 Stock
Cooler Master CX600M 600W
Asus VE228 LED 1080p Full HD 1920x1080

im relying in my mobo, maybe Gigabyte does not put enough efford in their mid-low range Mobos ?? see that CPU-Z oly give me 3791Mhz and the CPu Ratio at 38, that should be 38x=3800Mhz so it's only Windows 8 Taskmanager .. i have Windows 8 Enterprise 64 Bits

That little fluctuation is quite normal and I get this with my Gigabyte P8Z77-V as well, but why does your Task-Manager show 4.11GHz when you are not overclocking ?

Maybe have a look what HWINFO is showing you.

Did you disable the Core-Parking of your CPU ?

The MoBo is a bit on the weak side, but the rest of your rig is ok.

We will both have to upgrade to a different socket in the near future, as Socket-1155 is pretty much dead now.

I plan to upgrade my CPU + MoBo in a year and hope that we have some nice MoBo's with fast DDR4-Support.

Even that I like Gigabyte and Asus, I only went for Asus MoBo's / Screen's and Gigabyte GPU's in the last few years, so I can't really comment much about GB MoBo's, but they still seem to be alright.

For me it just looked like in the previous years, that Asus had the better MoBo's and Gigabyte the fastest NVIDIA-GPU's.

HWINFO64 most of the time show 3791Mhz, and i have a printscreen showing 4.069Ghz ...

 

[TONSCHUH]

That's really a bit weird and I was unable so far to find a proper explanation for it. When I start HWINFO I get the "disable sensor"-Info, maybe try to disable the sensor and have a read here:

Here are mine:

I disable Core-Parking with this tool here:

what is core packing ?? go i have any risk disabling it ??

@TONSCHUH


what is core packing ?? go i have any risk disabling it ??

When you disable core parking in combination with a High-Performance Power-Plan (Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options), then all your CPU-Core's are always available and don't get sent to sleep, which improves general system performance, because parking / un-parking (sending them to sleep and to wake them back up) the cores causes some kind of lag, comparable with your external USB-HDD's, but on a much faster scale.

Your system response time improves and things like gaming are much smoother without or much less micro-stutters as an example, but therefor your system will consume a bit more power.

It's not a good idea to keep the cores un-parked if you have a laptop, which is not connected to a power-source except the internal batteries, because the batteries / the laptop will run out of juice much faster.

There is no other risk beside that.

ok i just disabled Core Packing, lets see if i see any improvement ...
