GTX 970 TDP Concern

Its a 970. 670 is a typo, that was my old card. I'm using precision X. I know WHY the software will throttle the card. I was just curious as to whether or not, throttling every so often would do any damage to the card eventually, and if there was any way to keep the consumption under...

GTX 970 TDP Concern

So, if my card never even comes close to 91c, would it make more sense for me to prioritize that over Power Limit? Or am I still going to be facing throttling either way?

Why is my Nvidia driver update install failing?

Yes, it's very frustrating. The most frustrating part is that I have no idea why it's happening. I don't even know where to begin.

Why is my Nvidia driver update install failing?

Not too sure why this is happening, but I don't recalling it happening with any drivers before this one. According the the image below, the actual video driver is updating, the other features are not though. I've tried a clean install and that does not work either. I'm sure its...

Post your data backup strategy

None of my stuff is absolutely essential, but obviously I'd rather be able to easily recover than not. Thus, mine is very simple. Windows 7 backup once a week to an internal 500gb HDD. I create a system image of my c drive and a backup of my media drive

Displayed Vcore is COMPLETELY wrong

Ok, so I've asked around on here and a few of my other regularly visited forums a couple times regarding this issue, but nobody has ever been able to find a fix for me. My issue is this: Since I installed an Asus DG audio sound card a couple of months ago, my bios, CPU-Z, and any other...

Had Power Outage...Now PC will not start

No doubt about it. I actually have a spare one at work that I will be taking home with me tomorrow. I've been meaning to take it home for a while now and just haven't. Probably could have saved myself a few bucks had I.

Thanks for the advice and replies everyone. It was indeed the PSU. I went to microcenter earlier and picked up a Corsair CX600. I'm completely back in business.
