Quick question about the thermal paste for the CPU Cooler, it doesn't state it's included anywhere but the image shows it alongside all the other accessoires so I'll assume it's included, but is the thermal paste that comes with it any good?

This stuff is what I would get off that site http://www.4launch.nl/shop/#p-4-productid-020802
What they give your with the EVO probably isn't bad, but you only have enough for one use. With that I would recommend getting your own stuff anyway.

So I picked up all my parts last Friday, put it together over the weekend and was looking forward to putting it to the test in some games today.
Went with PS2 as it was the quickest to finish dowloading, jumped in-game, everything maxed out and ready to go, or so I thought. Launched the game and ran around for a bit when I went to my other computer for a sec, when I came back the screen was black and it didn't have any input anymore. Didn't know what was up so I relaunched PS2 about 5-10 minutes later, played for about 5 minutes when the GPU locks up, screen goes black and that's it. Opened up the MSI Afterburner to see what the temps where, and they seem pretty high. It's running at 72-73C at the PS2 main menu, going up to 80-83C when I'm actually in-game (by myself without anyone around or anything happening) instantly. Fans are running @ 100% as well when I'm in-game and reaching those temperatures. Setting the fans to manual doesn't seem to even be doing anything as I notice zero difference in spin speed or sound when I have them at 10% or 100%. I'm using a MSI GeForce GTX660Ti with the latest drivers and no overclocking or anything. Anyone have any suggestions as this is a pretty dissapointing start |

Sounds like a bad gpu. What are the idle temps when your are just in windows?

GPU temperature is sitting around 45C when playing, which is fine. While it's good news that the GPU isn't overheating, the bad news is that I have no clue what caused those two crashes. As I said, screen goes black, monitor says no more input and that's it. Turning off the computer takes a couple of seconds of holding down the power button. Could it be that the CPU is overheating? Any suggestions on where to look? Last edited by MasterCalaelen; 2012-09-09 at 04:55 PM. |

Do you have the extra motherboard connector installed from the PSU? The 4 or 8 pin depending on the board.
Download core temp to see the temperature of your CPU. Post what they are.

Doesnt sound like over heating to me. Try doing a pass through uniengine heaven benchmark and see if it crashes.

Interesting. Any other games exhibiting what PS2 is doing?

Haven't been able to try out any other games as none had finished downloading yet. TF2 is done now so I can give that a go.
Why did you say it was interesting? *edit* Just played TF2 for almost an hour without any issues. It's not a very heavy game though, especially in comparison to PS2. I'm waiting for the SW:TOR trial to download so I can give that a go as that's a much heavier game. *edit2* Just gave SW:TOR a go, ~10 minutes in, same thing. Screen goes black saying no more input, little buzzing sound and that's it. Computer keeps running but no more input to the monitor. Last edited by MasterCalaelen; 2012-09-10 at 08:24 AM. |

If it was only PS2 causing it is why, but it doesn't seem that way due to SWTOR crashing. Try more games to see if it continues.
Download OCCT. Select the CPU: Linpack tab and see that can run stable for a hour. This doesn't stress the GPU, only CPU and RAM. I'm thinking this sounds like a possible ram issue. Verify all the correct settings for the ram (timings and voltage) are setup correctly in the bios. Should be under the overclocking part.

I don't really own any other games short of very old ones like TF2, so I'm kinda out of luck on that. How can I find out what the right timing and voltage for my RAM is? There wasn't any info like that in the box. |

Should be a sticker on the ram saying what it is. By the looks of it though I think it should be 1600MHz, 9-9-9 (not sure of the last number here, but probably 24 or 27), and 1.5V. Thats if you got all four sticks of ram kit.

Just ran the OCCT GPU thing and when I stopped it at 10 minutes it happened again. I heard the windows sound just before I reset it though, so it seems it just kills the video input and reboots the system. I also checked the RAM in the BIOS, it's at 1.5V, but I can't find the 9-9-9-24 thing anywhere? |
