Power consumption is very important to me, And I pay the electric bill. Setting up and reighing in power consumption and making a balanced gaming rig makes sense for me these days. Back in the day(2004/2007) when I would have friends over for lan parties My systems were hot noisy watt...
Not sure what you have...I have an Evga 560 ti 448 classified with the twin fan setup and know how cheap and flimsy those fans are..One of them shattered from rubbing against the plastic ribbed cross members. I was gonna rma it but found an old intel cpu fan cooler and just popped off the heat...
One of my old time favorites for dos is Privateer. It's a cool space game. I would get three missions from base that I was at and then collect to upgrade my ship for speed weapons or storage. Getting the centurion ship with extra torpedo bays/guns or more powerful shields. Pretty tough space...
When I built my sandy 2600k two years ago to this day, I had 8 gigs of ram only. I decided to pull the trigger for another 8 to get the 16 gigs of Corsair Vengeance 1600 memory(a few months ago). Partially because of the price and the other reason so I could match the other mem pair. Not sure if...
I just skimmed over most of these posts but didn't see a mid tower that I found for about 80 bucks. It's a Msi Raptor. Power button upper top left corner nice front lower mesh grill in front that glows blue. Two 120 side intake spots and rear 120 exhaust. Easy tower to work with. Black and...
I don't have any fancy power meter stuff but my battery backup APC unit shows an average rating with monitor and speakers of 95 watts with an I5 3570k overclocked to 4.0 ghz and Msi gtx 660. I'm also running a 600 gig Raptor and 8 gigs of corsair 1866 memory. But this reading is just on this...
I see the heat has slowly been killing your card. I've got Evga classfied overclocked 448 (steam punked version)(intel cpu fan on one of the spots)lol . The gf110's are really power/heat monsters. If you are thinking of upgrading: Getting a gtx 670 or 680 will see very nice bump in perfomance...
I also have to say that single card performance is most important for me. I really don't like dabbling in sli'ing two cards. prefer getting a good gaming from one single good card than dealing with stuttering, latency, and driver issues. With electricity, heat, watts getting out of control...
I think performance is key here. Meaning efficient pixal pushing performance. I've had a lot of nvidia cards over the years and really like the gtx 680/660 performance. Not very strong compute cards but great for gaming. Some of my favorites I had or still have were geforce 6800 gt, 7800 gt...
Nvidia's new 650 ti or gtx 660 (non ti) would work for ya. The 650ti has performance similar to the previous generation 550 ti(dx11) and even gtx 260(dx10). Will be a performance bump from that 8800 gts 320. Less juice needed and will give that tired old psu a break from working so hard. Also...
I've got a Msi p67a-gd65 2600k at just a mild overclock @ 4.0 ghz and use just under 1.2 volts of juice myself for stability(1.185v) (might drop it down a tiny bit more) 16 gigs (four 4 gigs) of Corsair Vengence 1600(1.5v). I don't ever try to go over 1.3 volts for longevity sake of processor...
Hmmm, Not a lot to go on... Check one of your memory sticks is bad.(sometimes double sided and single sided don't mix) I know a 1033 error bsod is driver related. 300 watt is generic I assume might not be supplying enough juice either..That system is a watt/amp monster (honest opinion). Not...
Might still be a memory issue if you ask me. Are you using two 8 gig sticks or 4 4 gig sticks? Take one out and try that. Make sure you are using two 4 pin power connectors to supply power to motherboard also. Check memory voltage in bios and make sure its set for the rated power of the memory...
