New To Overclocking help!

kbrady: whether or not you realize it, you said that I'm wrong by showing me what Guru3D recommends and then saying "Taken directly from your 2nd link. I made my recommendation........I'm done". It looks to me like you're using that to say that I'm wrong and that I'm also blind for not seeing that on the same article that I linked to (I also felt like you were throwing it back in my face, which I really don't appreciate)! Well, as I hope to have shown you, I know what their recommendations are and I also know what kind of PSUs they're talking about too. Again, they're talking about peak-rated units just like how both AMD and NVIDIA are (and how all aftermarket brands are) with their recommendations/requirements. The reason they're not talking about continuous-rated units is then they would have to teach their customers about the difference between peak-rated and continuous-rated and they would also have to teach them other PSU-related things. This way they can just state their recommendations/requirements and be done with it. There are people out in the field like me to take care of that education, and they know that.

I just wish you would back off. That's all. It seems to me like every time I post something, you come along trying to contradict it somehow and I'm absolutely sick and tired of it. So please stop! You're the only one in this entire community who's doing it! It has reached a point for me where every time I see one of your posts after mine, I roll my eyes and say "Oh great. Now what?".

I don't know, it just feels like you don't like me and that you'd rather I quit coming here. I feel accepted by everyone in this community except you. What is your problem with me? Should we just put each other on ignore and be done with it or what?

I really think you have the wrong idea about me, or maybe the wrong impression of me. Whatever the deal is, I want to work this out. If we can't work it out, then I would want you to put me on ignore. I'm sick and tired of having to defend my facts because of you. You're the only one in this entire community who's doing this to me!

if you guys are going to bash and fight, take it elsewhere. i dont want that crap in my thread

@TwoCables

i wish you posted that earlier. i bought the CX500M. damn. owell. by the time i receive the rebate, ill be back up and running. so idk how long it takes. my stock CPU cooler is fine for now and fine for some experimenting at least.

my future upgrades consisted of 660Ti and 8 core FX cpu, mobo, and HDD/SSD with some OCing of course. the other reason why i bought the CX500M is because it has a 5 year warranty. so the warranty and the price kinda won me over the 450W one you posted earlier.

What's nice though is you'll have a modular PSU. It has more hardwired cables than most modular PSUs, but still: once you experience a modular PSU, you'll never want to own a non-modular one!

The only regret I think I have here is that you could have spent a lot less up front, but it looks like you don't mind waiting 1½ to 2 months to receive the prepaid rebate card (it takes 6-8 weeks to arrive once you send in the request form).

The CX430/500/600 PSUs aren't bad though. You could've done much worse.

I have to continually defend myself because of my recommendations. I have never said you were wrong, just offered another option. In fact, SEVERAL other members usually have the same opinion as mine, and none of us tell you that you are wrong. Get off your cross, we need the wood.......nobody is picking on you. I don't appreciate how you disregard my opinion/recommendations, but I don't bitch and whine about it like you do. I think I have you figured out pretty well, and still have managed to back you up in several posts BECAUSE I'm aware you are knowledgeable. There is no harm in you having an opinion, and someone else having an opinion. The quicker you can wrap your head around that, the better off everybody will be.

Carry on.

IF YOU GUYD ARE GPING TO FIGHT. FU*KING LEAVE!

exactly! lol

idk this whole build costed me $260 out of pocket for parts! grand total was $386. but after $20 mail in rebate, and my check from youtube, it kinda even its self out.

the only thing im biting my self on is not getting the FX 4350 and a different MOBO. but whatever. i can live with it.

How'd you get a check from youtube?

monetize on my video

ok so i am now trying my hand at OCing. im not going for my orgional 4.5 or 4.4. im now shooting for 4.2...


so i want my base clock to be 4.0ghz and turbo to be 4.2ghz. my main pet peve tho is that i still want the CPU to scale its speeds and voltages. to keep temps down. how should i go about doing this, and what should i enable/disable for CPU features?

also there are 2 settings i can change in bios for the turbo speed. one is CPU MAX turbo speed, and the other is CPU turbo speed. which one do i change?
