update: so the card is installed. its been running so well. Before I had a mix of med/high on starcraft 2 to stay in the 60c range. Now, on all ultra, It barley goes above 41 or 42. Witcher runs so much better now, I don't have to have low on everything. It uses less power. thanks! + Show Spoiler + | ||

MB is an Asrock 75, CPU is an i5 3330, video card is a Nvidia 960, and running on a Windows 8.1 OS. would give a better description when I get home. | ||

After Windows Update installs updates a message pops up asking me to reboot. If I'm not here the computer will reboot, which is not what I want. Further, it's annoying when the window pops up every 10 minutes or every 4 hours. I had my windows configured so that message would never pop up, and I'd simply have the windows update icon show up in the tray when the computer was ready for a reboot. How do I set it up like that again? I tried googling for the method, but the solutions I found seem to do different things than what I described above. I'm aware I will still need to shutdown in order to install updates frequently. | ||

Control Panel -> system and stuff --> under Windows Update you will see something like "turn off or on automatic updates" where you can Or you can get there the other way: + Show Spoiler + Click Start, type Windows update in the search box, and then click Windows Update in the Programs list. In the left pane, click Change settings. Select the option that you want. Under Recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates or Include recommended updates when downloading, installing, or notifying me about updates check box, and then click OK. I have it turned off as I'm myself deciding when the updates should be downloaded and installed. | ||

Are there any particular brands/models which are considered more reliable, or others which I should definitely avoid? Comcast has a long list (here, my account is "Performance" tier) of compatible equipment but I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm familiar with the Netgear and Motorola brandnames but I don't recognize most of the others. Unless there's a good reason not to, I would prefer a combined modem/wireless router unit. | ||

My pc works fine for the most part, I did notice a freeze the other day but my pc corrected itself and was fine after about a minute of trouble, and that is the only incident I have had. Should I go ahead and get ram that is listed in my Z77 manual or do you think I will be okay running the current RAM I have? | ||

Make sure it's set to 100.0mhz or very close (+-1mhz) you can underclock RAM easily if neccesary So, I actually forgot one thing I did. After installing the ram and noticed it ran below spec. I proceeded to manually set the clock to 2133mhz, then I ran the Asus AI overclock tuner and then the PC restarted to show the 1927mhz. This brought my overclock to 4.22 GHZ on my CPU but that's only when I select the turbo mode on BIOS. I almost always run my PC at the stock value from bios. Not sure if this has any bearing. I will take a look at the base clock. Thank you for your reply <3 | ||

Ilyama E2473HDS -- BenQ XL2411Z - PC I have my Ilyama monitor connected to my video card (GTX 970) through HDMI, and my BenQ through DVI-D for the high refresh rates, obviously. I tried plugging my headphones in through the 3.5mm jack in my Ilyama, but the sound volume is very low, too low. So now I'm forced to use the front jack in my case which is BARELY long enough and is really uncomfortable. The connector in the monitor that I'm connecting to is a 3.5mm line-in jack though. The green, speaker jack doesn't give any sound at all. What could be the issue here and is it resolveable? I checked windows audio panel and fixed everything there. | ||

then I ran the Asus AI overclock tuner You should manually OC or not OC at all if you're concerned for stability, performance and/or longevity On June 24 2015 02:15 oGoZenob wrote: Hi !

It's really annoying, any idea what can cause that ? way too high DPC latency can, you can check yours with www.thesycon.de/dpclat/dpclat.exe power saving settings on CPU especially can cause it to be elevated sometimes, but there's often a driver or something messing stuff up. ~20 is a great number to have there, it should preferably be below 100 all of the time but i don't see clearly visible symptoms like video's stuttering constantly until 1k+ | ||

Does it means anything ? | ||

Dirty Bomb's recommended settings & what I have: 512 MB - GeForce 7800 GTX or better - 1GB GeForce 9800GT 2.0 GHz Quad Core or better - AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 840T Processor 2.9GHZ 3GB Ram - 6.2GB Windows 7 64Bit - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit I've got in-game settings turned to low on everything, camera animations off etc etc. I'm seeing a ton of stuttering to the point that I can't play the game because I'm glitching around so much. For internet speed 29.32 Down and 31 Up with 16ms ping. Image below from speedtest.net. My FPS counter from Steam is showing huge jumps, ranging from 86fps to 27 as the game starts and gets going and consistently bounces around with those extremes, sometimes sitting for a second around 30fps. Is this just a case of my video card going bad or something else I need to look into? Thanks in advance I really appreciate it, and again if this is the wrong place to post this please let me know or let me know where to post it! + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://www.speedtest.net/result/4462284200.png) | ||
