EPTI am changing mice, and each has it's own drivers/sesitivity settings that are not interchangeable. I want to find a way to keep as close to the sensitivity of my old mouse as possible. Somebody has got to have made a program that can help to do this easily. But I can't find anything.

Just check the DPI of the mouse. The DPI is the only thing you should be altering because windows sensitivity is broken on all settings except for 6/11 | ||

The DPI is the only thing you should be altering because windows sensitivity is broken on all settings except for 6/11 The problem is that one of the mice doesn't use just DPI settings. I'm trying to move from a death adder to a Mionix Naos 5000. The Naos uses pure DPI. The deathadder has a few discrete DPI settings, but it also has a sensitivity slider bar. If I put the Naos and death adder at 1800 DPI and 6/11, the Naos is way, way faster. | ||

Keep in mind that although it might be enough right now, it could still be worth it to invest a bit more into the PSU so you won't have to buy a new one when you buy new parts later down the line. It could save you a lot of money in the long run. My PC right now (i5 2500k, one 7200 RPM HDD and a MSI 560TI twin frozr) should only need a 400 watt PSU and be completely fine but i bought an antec PSU rated at 650 watts just in case. I mean the price difference wasn't that big anyway, and it gives me the assurance that when i add additional parts down the line i don't need to buy a new expensive PSU altogether. | ||

I have adjusted vtt and vcore as well as tried auto vtt and some other settings, but i didnt have to do any of that before. I was trying to set low multipliers, 165 base clock 16 multi etc, so not pushing clock speeds or anything aside from the base clock itself, and i made sure uncore/ram and all the basics were not messed up in any obvious way too. The CPU is stable and fine at 160x24 and 1.264vcore with a max temp in the low 70's with regular usage, but the bclk behaivour seemed really odd to me and didnt seem like a common issue on google. Any idea whats wrong? Anecdotally, you should be running an odd multi, I've never found any "solid" confirmation, but I've seen tons and tons of rumors that odd multi is easier to run. Frankly, if you're just trying to jump to a setting, and it's not working, you should reset to stock, and work your way up, and see what's wrong. I'm sure there's people who could tell you what's probably wrong if you listed the specific bluescreen (I know there's lists out there, but it's been a while since I mucked with mine.) Long story short, shortcut on OC isn't working, do it properly. Try disabling HT and running the same settings. Try different clock/multi combos for same OC. Try the usual plethora of shit you'd try if you just got the chip, and ignore what you know or think you remember it running at before. | ||

1) What is the best graphics card that I can get for ~$250 and how much will it improve gaming performance? I'm mainly looking to play on max settings (on 1920x1080) for CS:GO, Borderlands 2, the new Assassin's Creed when it comes out and any new games for the next couple of years. 2) Will my CPU bottleneck my system for future games? I don't play any SC2, which is compute-heavy. | ||

If I have to reinstall windows, will I only have to format my boot drive (SSD) or will I have to reformat my data drive as well? If I don't have to reformat the data drive, could I just plug it back in after a fresh windows install with all of my previous data available? You don't have to, but you really should. You could use something like sysprep with a /generalize flag which is supposed to uninstall all installed system drivers, you could also uninstall them manually. But a fresh install of windows is the best answer for the best stability. You don't have to reformat the boot drive to reinstall windows. In fact you can install Windows over an existing install, but doing so screws up a lot of crap including IE. Basically don't do it. There is no reason at all to reformat your data drive. | ||

Well, technically, if you don't either reformat or re-index your secondary drive, depending on what's on there, you can cause BSODs on a fresh install of the same OS with even the same hardware. At least, going by the implied use of "data drive", where the alternative is the "boot drive", which implies some software installed on the "data drive". Although, frankly, I think we may both be a bit into tangent land for the average user's concerns. <3 Where you been hiding? Sign up for Doctor Who? Mafia. | ||

I've been really busy, job has been sucking up my life. The only reason I'm posting now is because I'm waiting on ghost to finish an image... Anyway, your correct if he's got software installed on that drive then he should reformat. I took "data drive" to mean a drive where he just keeps his crap (aka data). In which case nothing would need to be done with it. | ||

I call my secondary a storage drive, even though it's got the majority of my software, just because I'm lazy, and storage is easier to type than secondary. | ||

I was running at only 2.64ghz with the 165 base clock, and everything else was down too, do you think having vcore at ~1.26 would cause instability like that? IIRC base clock and vcore was all i had over stock | ||

But, that's all my rig, your results may vary. Like I said, according to lots of anecdotal evidence, odd number multis are easier to stabilize. But really, your best bet if you can't make it work on your old settings is to take it up from stock again. I know that's a pain in the ass, but unless you want to look up BSOD codes and do trial and error based off of other people's assessments of those, it's your best bet. | ||

Reset to stock etc, tried various multis, stability is not the issue as much as 165 base clock literally reports and runs as 150 in CPU-Z regardless of settings as far as i can see | ||
