Jolly good guvna, slap that keyboard back to the shop. Hopefully it is a defective kybrd.

yup i was straight to pc world n swapped it for a razor lycosa. so this is my 4th gaming board in 13 months
i had a g110, g19 then the isku and the isku was the only one i had a problem with. i did like it tho. lets hope this one is a keeper

 

[Britton30]

LOL, maybe you're rough on them keys gaming?

lol nah.
the others didnt go wrong i just found ones i liked more so sold n replaced
im likin this lycosa tho. laptop high keys, they're a bit clicky sounding tho not a prob gaming but typin anythin is a tad annoying at the min.

ello folks
being so close to 4GHz i just had to check passed a standard intel burn test. i wont try any higher now tho. no change in temps as its still @ stock voltage. i can see why peeps get so into oc'n but im gonna leave it there unless it shows any signs of instability then il either drop it bk down or just up the vcore slightly

 

[Dave76]

Nice OC, temps look good.

 

[ganjiry]

cheers
i know the windows experience index score is nothin to go by but b4 i raised my cpu to 4GHz my scores were 7.4, 7.5, 7.9, 7.9, 5.9
now they're 7.5, 7.9, 7.9, 7.9, 5.9
im still not gonna invest in an ssd tho as the primary use of my pc is gaming and i already load into game as fast as peeps with an ssd. so i cant see the point in gettin one. not for me anyway. maybe if i learn to do some video editing n so on.
im a happy bunny now lol but still may get me an fx-8120 be

 

[Solarstarshines]

the 8120 Oc'ed will give the CPU 7.8 plus mem 7.8 that is what i noticed thus far it went up a bunch from 7.5 good job on the OC

HARDOCP - Conclusion - Corsair AX850 850W Power Supply Review

A Guy

Bill, what did you get from that link you posted? I read it as there is not much difference between the AX and the HX850.

 

[Britton30]

Steve all I see is the AX850 is completely modular, the 20+4 and EPS 12V connectors are removable. The HX series have those permanently attached to the PSU.

 

[essenbe]

I was referring to the performance. It seemed to say that they were both fairly equal. It seemed to say that there was less than a 1% difference between the 2. If you're living off of 1%, you're in trouble anyway.

 

[JoeDavola]

I can do 5.0GHz with a 1.42 vcore, but this is my everyday overclock.

 

[A Guy]

The AX850 is a rebadged SeaSonic X-850, and is completely modular. The HX850 is based off an older non Seasonic design. Both may serve you well, but the AX850 has many small improvements in circuitry and design. A Guy

Bingo Modular Also better cable managment
1% difference means nothing really I like the fact it is Modular and less spaghetti

Here is my over clock
This is the highest it will start windows at. Does anybody know how it could get it even higher?
Thanks

 

[Britton30]

This was with 7 cores disabled and a liquid helium/nitrogen CPU cooler.

 

[Dave76]

Is the 'liquid helium/nitrogen CPU cooler' being delivered with the new AMD Bulldozers?
That's very nice of them

Nah, just water with the FX-8150, I think.

 

[Gromit1710]

I thought I would throw my results in to the mix

 

[chev65]

I'd like to see some of these overclocks go ten hours with Prime Blend test.
