Latest driver's on Nvidia's site

Oh yeah, so it is a Beta then, I thought it might be seeing as 3D mark said it was not approved.

How are you finding the Beta? I am still on 331.82

Madspec me and you are about Neck and Neck right now

I knowwww, I did manage to take my CPU OC a bit higher at 4.6 today. All stable, Xmast holidays will try to go up to 4.8.

Good luck hope you can do it Haswell is a difficult CPU lots of Math and calculations to be done as well

I wanted to get one a few months back but couldn't pass up the i73770k and MB deal i got both for about 400.00 with tax included and i got other things too total upgrade was round 550.00 but still hella cheaper then from scratch

Good drivers, did not fail once to date and the stuttering is gone in Ghost.

Cool, I may test them out soon, see how they run.

I still have a bit more space for voltage, I'm at 1.37v on both vcore and vcache. It can take 1.4 for a 24/7 OC so I think I'll be able to do it.

When you hit a ceiling you know about it, darn my 3770K will run 4.9 at around 1.4V just fine, if I want to run 5GHz it is a total nightmare, I struggle to bench on it at 1.6V so I have given up and excepted the wall for this CPU is at 4.9.
Hopefully your wall is the same but I expect with Haswell it will be a bit lower.

Edit: Too many Walls and ceilings, sounds like a house lol.

Still have some decents temps Solar, think I can push it a bit more.



I know, I will hit a wall, but I have to try... did not pay that kinda money on good hardware for nothing, worst case, kill the CPU. Ill just have to give myself a new Christmas present ;-)

And I am damn lucky to have a Haswell that can go that high, some people can even go past 4.2 with the same batch.

You won't kill the CPU unless you do silly things like I did.

I can tell you first hand that the i7 3770K does not like to be run at over 1.9V

I learned a lesson from that though and thankfully it didn't cost me anything.:)

now.... when i get my Intel stuff lol
wow, a 100pt increase just because of my GPU driver.
