Need tips repairing PSU

Recently I replaced fan in the PSU, The fan molex pressed the green pcb card and made it move. My suspicion is either soldering got loose on powerplug or a component on that green PCB got damaged. I have a soldering Iron + multimeter, I'm going to disassemble the PSU. Now I need...

Negative performance Crossfire

CPU bottleneck gives 1 card 120fps but two cards 110fps + microstuttering at same settings? my 2500k@4.7Ghz is happily pushing 3 gpu's in BF3.

Negative performance Crossfire

Most games and software have solid crossfire scaling but not Max Payne 3, I get more fps with one card and less microstutter with one card. my 2nd card needs way more voltage, for 1100c/1575m it needs 1.25v, also I have played alot of games including BF3. Seems like 2 cards has...

Low fps Max Payne 3

Ive read a article here on anandtech that anything past 1600 does not give gaming performance. Here is my cpu usage, it's mostly 45%, never over 80%

Low fps Max Payne 3

2600k is not better than 2500k for gaming at same clocks. I have 32 lanes PCI E 2.0 (16x 8x 8x), If you have proof that I need 40lanes PCI E 3.0 if you have a link please post, otherwise I'm not going to buy a new motherboard without proof that it will help.

Low fps Max Payne 3

How can it be bottlenecking when on the first diagram it's 80% peak CPU load. Also it's 3x 7950, I did try one 7950 and 2 7950 with no help.

Low fps Max Payne 3

I'm not entirely sure what's going on... Either Max Payne 3 is a console port or something is wrong with my hardware. I don't have CPU or GPU bottleneck, maybe my motherboard has too low PCI-E bandwidth (PCI-E 2.0 x16 + x8 + x8 = 32x total). This user with 4x 7970 and 2011 CPU gets...

3TB SSD? Other options for high speed computer and game storage?

Are you saying that under 2k USD for 3TB storage for games on SSD would be acceptabel? I have 2x Crucia V4 in Raid 0 (2x 256gb = 512gb), they work excellent for my needs (installed games, movies, documents). But if you look on newegg however alot of ppl have problems with them.. You could buy...

Haswell model specs leaked

Is that in the integrated gpu? I have sandy bridge system with crossfire AMD 7950, I guess I would not see that big improvement going from 1333mhz to 1600mhz?

Disable or decrease VTT or PLL?

46 x 100 = 4.6Ghz. Vcore +180mv CPU VTT 1.20v (Default 1.10v), PLL Overvoltage Enabled. CLL 75% (I think have nasty Vdroop). My reported vcore is 1.392v - 1.424v during Linpack, mostly it is at 1.4v Can I decrease or disable CPU VTT or PLL Overvoltage? Trying Offset +160mv gave...

Too low voltage harmful?

So If I never experience BSOD or crashes I'm good to go then with the lower voltage and lover GFlops in Linpack? Edit--> Seems like false alarm, I had photoshop open, after closing it seems like I'm getting similar results with +180mv as with +210mv. Also I got BSOD with +160mv.

Too low voltage harmful?

Hello I recently started tweaking my 2500k and found out by Enabling PLL Overvoltage, LLC to 75% and putting CPU VTT to 1.20v (default was 1.10v) made me achieve above 4.4ghz speeds. I'm currently testing 46x * 100 = 4.6Ghz, Vcore Offset +210mv gives me 111GFlops (Linpack with AVX). But...

2500k mobo and software vcore

AUTO only gets me up to 4.1Ghz stable. I bought this CPU used and the previous owner run it at 1.45v and 4.9Ghz. My hope would be to have at most 1.4v(depends on my temps) and 4.3-4.7Ghz.

2500k mobo and software vcore

Well I have realised that I have been reading VID voltage and not the real voltage. Interesting enough both CPU-Z and HWINFO show vcore: MAX: 0.848v this is what was shown when stressing it 100% all 4 cores, IDLE it is 0.632v, and MIN is 0.600v. So I think that either my mobo BIOS or a...
