  1. I care about letting my friends know that I think they're great. My favourite members are everyone on my friends list, I've said that in a few threads.

     

    People are seeing these topics in the wrong light. Some members are going to be popular than others. I've got more profile views than people with 3,000 posts because I say things that are controversial and I post slut-selfies all the time. If you (you meaning everyone who is crying, not you specifically) wanna be more popular, do something controversial or something that breaks the mould instead of just complaining that the members who post better content than you are more popular.

  2. Don't apologise (: We all make mistakes, evidently you have some knowledge of Overclocking which is good. I've seen lots my friends try to overclock their CPU's through software and I just love hearing about how they fry their systems.

     

    I'm quite impressed by overclocking as long as it is done correctly. It's all about increasing in incremental steps. A lot of first time overclockers go to the extreme and then work their way down to stability but it is much safer and better to work your way up to the lowest point of instability to find your highest OC.

     

    I find GPU overclocking to be something that is a MUST whilst CPU overclocking is just because I can. My GTX 770 sits at 1320Mhz core and 7600Mhz memory which gives me an insanely high performance boost over stock clocks.

  3. I have OC'ed under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X (Hackintosh) and I found that all OS's were stable no matter what as long as the OC was stable on one of them.

     

    If you're Overclocking through software in the OS itself then that's just poor practice. If you overclock in BIOS then it should not matter what OS you use as the OC will be unstable across them all.

     

    Take a GPU for example, if you overclock the core to 1320Mhz using MSI Afterburner on Windows and it isn't stable, it will also not be stable at that clock under any other OS. It's a hardware limitation, the chip is just of a lower quality and it is irrelevant of the operating system.

  4. You got a pretty bad CPU if it takes 1.375V for 4.6GHz.

     

    I had that CPU to start with and I got a stable 4.5Ghz at 1.25V. My 3570K runs at 4.5GHz at the moment at 1.23V.

     

    I assume the reason it took you so long to get stable was probably due to Vdroop issues or just a badly binned chip. I also don't see how the operating system could in anyway affect the stability of a GPU or CPU overclock. If you've done a bad overclock, it's not gonna be stable in windows, Linux or any other operating system. Hell, if you're overclock is terrible then your PC won't even get past POST.

     

    Overclocking is a good thing if you know what you're doing. Those that don't should just not overclock or get a professional to do it for them.

  5. If you've got two SATA ports then you've got no excuse not to have an SSD. Have an SSD for just OS and programs and a HDD for everything else. 60GB is more than enough. My 60GB SSD has Skyrim + Hi-res textures + mods + all the DLC along with the full adobe CC suite and windows 7 ultimate and I still have 20GB to spare.

  6. Get a GTX 770, PSU for a single GPU should not exceed 750W. Anything around 600W for any single GPU is fine and you'll still have massive headroom to overclock CPU and GPU.

     

    8GB of RAM is more than enough for a gaming PC, you only need more if you do SERIOUS video editing. (None of that omg I can fraps minecraft bullshit.)

     

    Your processor is gonna be a massive bottleneck if you upgrade the GPU though. Try and get the FX8350, 8150 or 8320 as well.

  7. The only negative message I can get from Halloween is that if you beg and beg then you will get what you want and if you don't, you're allowed to hurt those people AND EVEN THEN, that is me trying to find something negative.

     

    I agree though, I don't get why all these little Christian and Muslim children etc. run around celebrating a pagan festival O.o

  8. Old music and new music both have their good and bad points. You can't say that both ages of music are terrible nor can you say that they're both perfect.

    Each era of music has terrible songs whilst there are an equal number of songs that are great.

     

    This era has had Sigur Ros, Mumford and Sons, Florence + The Machine, Daughter, Coeur de Pirate and in my opinion, Ellie Goulding.

    The past era has had great names like Queen, Cyndi Lauper, Blur, Gary Numan and The Human League, once again, this is in my opinion.

     

    It's just that due to the internet and social media, bad songs are much more easily published and people find a comical value to them.

     

    Also, Skrillex is not smug. People throw the dubstep label on him and then everyone pounces because he apparently popularised that genre even though that is not his genre, he's electro house. Skrillex has done a lot of production for a lot of bands like Bring Me The Horizon and also Ellie Goulding. He also started off in a post-hardcore band called From First To Last.

     

    Saying that an artists music has no meaning is one thing, but calling them smug without reason and bashing on them just because you dislike their genre or style is just awful.
