Question i7 2600k 4.5ghz at 1.336v with offset, is this good or what? looking for a safe OC

Yes. If you want the best/most stable OC and you're not terribly worried about efficiency, a fixed voltage is the way to go.

Lowering voltage and trying to off-set that with LLC is definitely NOT the way to go. That's like inviting instability anytime there's a variable load on there. LLC is nice to combat vdroop under high load conditions, but causes it's own sort of issues with variable loads, which would be...

Question 2600x versus 3600x at $100 difference. Upgrading from i7 3770 paired with GTX 1080.

I say pick up a 2nd hand 2700x. I have a 2700x box and a 3770k box. At 1080p with a GTX 1080 you won't be disappointed.

Discussion Core2Quad performance in more recentish games vs Bloomfield

Just having an IMC isn't good enough. It needs to actually perform well. Intel didn't need an IMC to outperform Phenom. This is all ancient history. All those processors suck by todays standards. Even the i7 920. I get it's fun screwing around with older hardware you have laying around to see...

Is Ryzen 3000 Ready?

I'm a little late to this party but here it goes anyway I have an issue with high idle voltages and boosting less than I expected. That said, none of these are "shocking" I wouldn't even know if not for monitoring software. I do believe you are trolling, first, you use the word "shocking" when...

Worth buying RX 570 4GB cards @ $129, for mining (NH, ETH, Grin, etc?) these days? Or a single GTX 1660ti?

I don't know what Newegg's pricing policy is. I do know that searching for a 580, finding multiple options for under $200 and making the conscious decision to find the most over priced ones to post on a forum and declare "look guys, mining is back!" is worthy of a double facepalm meme.

For someone with nearly 43k posts dating back nearly 18 years, you sure are pretty clueless when it comes to hardware. Not only did someone mention, before you doubled down and made this post, that there are several 8GB 580 cards for under 200, but a simple search at either Amazon or Newegg...

Is it possible for EVGA to do this?

It's quite normal for a home computer to remain powered on actually.

Gaming Rig: Looking to upgrade either CPU or GPU

My secondary gaming machine is a 2600K with a 1060 6GB pushing a 1080p 144Hz display and it runs all my games perfectly well. The 580 is also a very good match. If you're looking for a free CPU upgrade, look no further than the multiplier setting in the BIOS. You can likely do 4-4.2GHz with...

low gpu usage

Are you hitting your 60fps limit? If so, why are you so concerned? Its actually a good thing if you're able to hit 60fps w/vsync and still have cycles to spare.

low gpu usage

VSYNC will limit your frame rate to your monitors refresh rate. If you have a 60Hz monitor, you will not go above 60fps.

Is it possible for EVGA to do this?

If EVGA are monitoring such stats, you can rest assured it's more than simply "power on hours" they can just as easily check the duty cycle of the card. We, as end users do it all the time with applications like MSI Afterburner and EVGA Precision. Even Task Manager measures it now to a certain...
