  1. Maybe some of them are fixed :ermm: to serve their goals.
  2. At 1:05. Ram upgrade guide.
  3. No, match the color of the slot with the pair of RAM. First pair (A1, B1). Second pair (A2, B2).
  4. Size? That mean the first pair (Channel A) can be 2x8GB, or 2x4GB, or 2x16GB, or 2x2GB ... the second pair (Channel B) can be 2x4GB, or 2x2GB, or 2x16GB, or 2x8GB ... Both pair don't need to be the same size ( Ex: 2x8GB). The two pair will run at the speed of slower one. For you, that will be the Vengeance 1866Mhz 10-11-10-30. Both run at the same voltage 1.5v.
  5. The color indicates the pair of RAM. A1 and B1 for the first pair (Vengeance Pro), A2 and B2 for the second (Vengeance).
  6. The best (air) are Prolimatech, Thermalright and Noctua. The Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme was the king for a long period of time (Tom's Hardware's reference). The Scythe are cheaper ($$). Only a twin 140mm water system (with the noise) can beat them. http://www.silentpcreview.com/Recommended_Heatsinks
  7. Because GPU can run hotter than the CPU, they have larger area. At the same time the GPU chip is not constrained to a die as small as a CPU, thus enabling a GPU chip to have a better tolerance. Video card wattage includes the VRM, the VRAM and others. CPU thermal shutdown is usually set conservatively.

  9. They have the i7 because the stock frequency is higher and they don't want/know to overclock.
  10. The hyper-threading split the core in 2 threads. You don't get the full potential of the core in one thread. What most games need is single-process, single-thread, single-core performance to be maxed out. Hyperthreading does the opposite. What hyperthreading does is attempt to balance 1 core between two different threads/processes, so it gives you 2 "virtual" cores for every actual core. The idea behind hyperthreading is that there may be occasional times when 1 physical core actually can do 2 things at once for 2 different threads, for example if one thread is keeping the core busy with some memory accesses while the other thread is trying to get the core to multiply some numbers, the one actual core can probably handle doing both those things at once. Kinda-sorta. By making the same core available to both processes at once through hyperthreading's 2 virtual cores, it might offer a bit of extra performance for that scenario. As a result, you get a small performance boost (in normal usage). However for most scenarios all it's really doing is giving half of the core's time to one process, and half to the other. Why you don't want it for gaming is because games don't do that, it is very difficult to split the game logic across multiple cores. They typically have one process, and typically only one thread that matters. You want 100% of the core's processing time devoted to that thread, without exception. No sharing, no hyperthreading. For the game, nothing else really matters. You don't care that your computer's overall performance would be slightly higher with hyperthreading because the "overall performance" includes a lot of things you don't care about and it comes at the cost of the one thing that you DO care about: the game. You don't care that a Windows Update check happened a fraction of a second faster because it was able to do a few extra operations on the same core your game is using.
  11. Past benchmarks have shown that HT decreases performance by about 2% on average, and ... Wait, I need a beer.
  12. True, the answer is obvious or ...
  13. What a question!!! Happy Easter everybody! To get fat...
  14. Fill with some beer instead of water.:thumbup:
  15. Please respect my opinion (if you can).
  16. I use MSI Afterburner/Settings/Monitoring/Active hardware monitoring graphs.
  17. Agree. I have 45 inch in diagonal.
  18. Even with overlaps thin bezels(0.8cm), i can't get rid of the bezels. My stuff
  19. Your 3 screens will be connect to your video card. A recent graphic card has 4 outputs. A GTX1070 can run 3 monitors. I don't recommend a 3 screen's setup. You can't get rid of the bezels.
  20. This one has more overclocking ability (8+2 power phases): http://ca.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N108TGAMING-OC-11G#kf (7-phase dualIFET power supply): http://ca.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N108TD5X-B#kf The GTX 1080Ti is very powerful. You don't need to spend money to overclock (aftermarket cooler) more than the factory one.
