Just one example from a Google search.

 

Don't expect the percent increases you can get on a CPU. This can, however, get you a few more FPS and perhaps a few hundred more pix/s graphics performance. I'm not much for OC gpu myself so I buy them with a factory OC (these can also come with GPU OC software) and focus my efforts on the typically more flexible CPU.

 

If you decide to push your GPU you will likely need a custom cooler. There are several options including liquid cooling which can require replacing the entire GPU cooler with a custom water block.

maybe if you are using a reference design cooler.
 

So how much Overclocking enhances your GPU performance and how much increase percentage is safe?
Does it worth it?

i guess you´ll get about 10-15% more performance out of your GTX760. can make the difference between "mostly smooth" and "always smooth".
btw which GTX760 exactly do you have?

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

Never done OC myself. It looked like using a generator/reactor with 110% capacity to me.

Cheapass 2GB Zotac. Bought it because it was cheap. Actually it's good, forgetting about the noises.

nah, thats not correct. the manufacturer guarantees you that the graphic card will run with, for example, 1100MHz. but most of these cards will also run with, lets say, 1170MHz. some will only reach 1140, but others 1200 or even more.
be careful with the memory clock, dont change the voltage and stay ~10MHz below the maximum "stable" clock and nothing bad should happen.
and dont forget to maximize the power- and temperature-target.

please dont tell me it is this one:

loud and by far not the best cooling system, rather one of the worst.

No, it has two orange fans. Actually the fans noise is so low. The noise I mentioned was about that coil BS or something happening between FPS changes.

For those who live in the US only.
 
NCIXUS.com has Intel Core i7 4790K for only $224.99 + $11.99 Shipping.

New customers can use the $10 off promo code NEWCUST10MAY.

This is a 4 ghz (with 4.4 ghz Turbo-boost) quad-core LGA 1150 CPU and it's the lowest price it has ever been. It is generally regarded as one of the best CPUs for gaming.

Grab one before you regret it!!

240 bucks for an i7 4790K? That's practically a steal. Those CPUs retail for around 350€ (390'ish USD) over here.

 

 

In other news, I'm joyously awaiting the arrival of Windows 10, the AMD R 300 series GPUs, Intel Skylake and AMD Summit Ridge for the following year. My trusty PC is still going strong, but sure is aging by now (i5 3570K, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM and GTX 660Ti) and I've been toying with the thought of getting a GPU upgrade and then sometime in the next year more or less replace the remaining system for a new build and the prospect of both AMD vs Nvidia and AMD vs Intel actually competing in the same market for the same audiences once again with the hopefully ensuing pricing wars is something that makes my customer's heart jump in jolly beats.

 

End 2015 and 2016 is going to be a good time for PC I think.

I got my 4790K for $280 last year around Christmas but I'd overclocked only to 4.4ghz without increasing the voltage. With a slight bump in voltage, lot of people have their 4790K overclocked beyond 5 ghz.

It's very refreshing to see Intel offering again a desktop CPU with such great overclocking potential that won't break your wallet. It definitely reminds me of the 5 ghz 2500k/2600k Sandy Bridge era.

Well, I've got an annoying malware problem

 

All my web explorers first pages are now 'w ww.delta-homes.com'

I scanned my C: and got two viruses:

 

 

Even after their extermination and setting my home page and search Engine to Bing I can't get rid of this BS.

Really sick and tired of this sh*t. Can someone help me please?

[Marksmad is waving goodbye]

Any programmers or software developers here?

Yes, there are

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

I try using these programs and I'll report back:

 

http://general-chang...de/2-adwcleaner

http://malwaretips.c...ad-malwarebytes

 

Edit: The first program fixed the problem. But, I don't know exactly, it has kinda screwed my registry. My windows was semi-frozen for a few minutes, then things returned to normal.

Likely because you had malware that had screwed with your registry itself.

 

If you encounter other strange behaviour, always make sure to make a complete system scan with your AV. Malware tends to copy itself all over your PC specifically to make it harder to eradicate, so just scanning one partition/drive isn't exactly secure (unless of course you only have one partition/drive, duh).

So it seems Android 5 is released.

 

 

Has anyone used it? How good it is comparing to 4.1 or better versions?

 

Android 4.0 sucked bad, my phone was this version, but thankfully I was able to update it to 4.1 which is very good.

[Fidite Nemini]

Hah, smartphones, a technological stepping stone that's so far entirely avoided by me. My current mobile phone is a Sony Ericcson K700i ... let that one sink in.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

There is something that annoy me:

 

Google Search: Every time I use it my explorer freezes for several seconds.

Google Chrome: Whenever I use it in any way it cause noises in the music I'm listening (This never happened with Firefox) It's fixed after cleaning the registry!

 

What's the problem?

[SwobyJ]

Hah, smartphones, a technological stepping stone that's so far entirely avoided by me. My current mobile phone is a Sony Ericcson K700i ... let that one sink in.

 

I avoided it for a few years, using my boyfriend's old phones (well okay, technically smartphones but of the much earlier end of what we'd now call it) and restricting to phone and text 90% of the time.

 

Got a smartphone (by current standards) last year, a Moto G, and gradually getting used to it and what it can do. And now getting the itch that it isn't advanced enough to play the games and use the apps I like quickly and smoothly enough. So I guess I'm getting a new one next year, 2017 latest, after I pay off my 'WIND (Mobile) Tab'.

 

I'm actually hoping that my next phone will either be my last or second last, and that technology akin to Google Glass catches up to popularity and usefulness enough that its the new standard as we go into the 2020s. I have no particular attachment to using a phone, and I'm okay with anything visor-like as long as it looks good enough and is somehow more convenient than a phone. I acknowledge and even kinda agree with the 'Glassholes' stuff, but I don't think that negates the possibilities with that line of technology.

Considering I see soooooo many people with their eyes and thoughts glued to their smartphones to the point where I quip about sonar apps warning people of impeding collisions with lampposts and getting the response "They have a working one? Where do I get that!?" instead of a derisive grunt, the depiction in that video isn't as hyperbolic as any person with some common sense would hope it is.

I just think this tech might get better once anything voice-related gets better, like project Viv http://viv.ai/

 

I don't think its reasonable to expect popularity with something you're constantly going "OK GOOGLE OPEN THIS THING I HAVE TO STILL READ AND BE DISTRACTED BY". That's valid in many situations (sitting on couch, at desk, maybe middle of a jog), but it isn't exactly ubiquitous. You need something that presents like its human-enough and can do most of the work (not just half) for you, for it to be on your head and attempting autonomy with tasks. Otherwise, well, use a smartphone.

 

Basically I'm giving it another several years, and I'll enjoy the VR/AR advancements in the meantime.

So how was the Windows 10 Alpha/Beta? Do you recommend it?

It seems the main version will be released soon.

[Fast Jimmy]

I think the NYSE needs some hardware help.

And by hardware help, I really mean "better protection from Chinese cyber warfare."

It will be a free upgrade for everyone.

I can't wait to get rid of Windows 8 on my laptop.

AMEN!!
