However, HWmonitor tells me that during the IntelBurn test my CPU VCORE goes up to 1.27V (the test that hits 90°C+), for Prime95 it maxes out at 1.19V and 70°C. Idle Voltage is around 0.13V-0.25V. Is this where I figure out which Bios option allows a program to send that high Voltage, set it to 1.20V manually and then worry about my OC from there? (Assuming Haswell gets hot because of Voltage and not because of its actual clock I see some potential. - Cyro? :>) | ||

x264 on 1.3v is cooler than avx2 linpack on 1.1v somehow, i'm not even sure how it's possible. I mean, you can run one full cpu load and get say 30c above room temp, then run avx2 and get 60-70c above room temp, somehow | ||

I mean, on 1 to 10 scale with 1 being "only as much as absolutely neccesary" or 10 being "throw everything lolol" how much do you want to spend | ||

If he really want's to spend 3k he could get a nice 27" 2560x1440/1600 monitor and do triple monitors, would need at least a GTX 770 but preferably SLI 770 so he can get dat 60 FPS in Crysis3/Metro/Farcry3. There that's half the budget spent. | ||

IB-E also a compelling option but it's a little while out and might not be particularly better than sandy (though it could be awesome, with a ton less power consumption and solder) | ||

Those offsets are just a standard size, right? At least for pcs? | ||

What I want: Asus 760 ( I heard you can OC it, seems good no?) i7 3770k ( Friends are telling me to get i5 or to get i7 haswell, I have no idea what haswell means, I heard you can oc it better ) ASRock Z77 Pro3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ( does it come with sound card?) XFX 850Watts 80 plus ThermalTake Chaser a71 So here are my main questions: How good is 760? Can it max sc2 easily? would I be able to play most games at 60fps? Does the mobo come with sound?? idk how to explain. Is the TTChaser a71 good enough for my specs? can I plug ethernet cable in it? does it come with it? Thanks for the help! I'm a scurb, sorry for the dumb questions Edit: My main budget is 900-1100$, I already have a 1980p screen and everything else. Edit#2: I have a spare HDD 540GB that I'll use for this build | ||
