No overclocking yet, but tbh I didn't have much time last night, and on it's factory OC clocks I was keeping 1080p60 vsync for 95% of the time on Witcher 3 (all ultra no hairworks), and GTAV on full everything 4xMSAA never had a dip below 60. Not sure I'm gonna bother overclocking just yet, I...

I managed to receive an EVGA GTX1060 SC from OC'ers yesterday after being in the pre-order queue when they received some last week. I have to say I am mightily impressed, one thing you need to do is download EVGA's vBIOS update that enables 0% fan mode (the shipped BIOS doesn't let you drop the...

No I did not, EVGA didn't send enough apparently? and I was too far down the queue so now it's seemingly a long wait to get a new one, competitors don't seem to have stock either. Disappointing might have to choose another brand but i really fancied the EVGA version, might just wait for...

This sounds great I am going from GTX580 to the EVGA SC 1060, I'm getting impatient now though the damn thing wont come in stock! But should be capable of eating most games for breakfast at 1080p60 for a good couple years (I've been on a 580 for 5 now, definitely time for a change)

Hi meth I just tweeted EVGA UK and they said 'They [overclockers] should receive stock today!' So hopefully it won't be long now!

Is there any news on this shipment? I preordered a 1060 SC just patiently waiting for it to come in stock

I was tempted by the Zotac AMP which has a 5 year warranty, but then put off that it seems to be a bit lacking in quality from some early user impressions. Definitely seems like its worth waiting for some decent reviews of these third party cards to corroborate all this info

Legitreviews included the EVGA GTX1060 SC in their benchmarks along with the reference card. Apparently it was 60 degrees C under load? Which sounds too good to be true for such a small heatsink. But it also was hard limited to a minimum of 45% fan RPM on idle, which is a bit silly, but alas...

One thing i was wondering that I didnt try. If you removed the cpu and just tried powering on the motherboard itself would it power on and try to POST? Possibly hearing some beeps through the speaker when it couldnt do CPU checks. Cant seem to find any solid info on that

Wow, after sending off the CPU/motherboard on thursday OcUK this morning have processed the motherboard for refund and are awaiting a replacement CPU, that is a much quicker turnaround than I was expecting. Hopefully a new CPU means all will be good, thank you OcUK :)

Some sound advice - if indeed my CPU comes back from RMA as no fault found I am going to invest in a multimeter and test my new PSU. That could only leave the new motherboard as faulty, if the CPU is approved ok, PSU measured as ok and the CPU/Mobo combination is still only powering on for 1...

I've tried 2 wall sockets and 2 surge protectors and 3 PSU's Even used the paperclip trick and the PSU powers on but anything connected to the new motherboard and old cpu just fails to power on. I cant honestly think what else would be faulty. If it turns out the CPU is fine then the new...

So once again my misery continues. Replaced the PSU and the same thing is occurring. Ocuk going to RMA both the mobo on recall and the CPU, it cant be anything else. I was hoping I can play BF3 nest weekend, although I doubt it at this rate :(

OK so I made progress by remembering you can test the PSU. I shorted the power on pins and plugged just a fan in. It powered on and stayed on. Horribly confusing.... Could the CPU have failed? edit: I tried the same with the older OCZ PSU that was installed when recent failure occurred - it...

Same, never overclocked apart from intels own boost. Definately not heat as you say. Tried another surge protector and cable. Yeah, I have no idea... THe only option I have is to try another replacement PSU

OK, I'm doing a lot of headscratching right now and could do with a bit of help. I bought a sandybridge set up when it was brand new, 2500K and MSI-PD67-GD65. It was to replace a failed system - which also meant I bought a new PSU (Antec Trupower new 650W) and this set up worked fine...

Thanks guys, just ordered now :) Luckily I remembered to get a 6 pin to 8 pin PCI-E adaptor or I'd have felt silly

Well I definately think I'm gonna order the PNY tomorrow. I am however doubting my PSU capabilities, all I seem to find is conflicting information on whether this http://www.ocztechnology.com/resources/drivers/GameXstream_700W_chart.jpg is ok to run an i5 2500k, GTX580 and the standard other...

Hi guys just a quick one. Wanting an upgrade from my HD5770, feeling rash and spending a fair wedge on a 580. I can only find one review of the PNY flavour one, and it is ~50 quid cheaper (week only deal) than the ASUS DirectCUII which I have heard good things about. Any reason not to go...

Ok so from refusing to believe I have been **** on to the point that EVERYTHING in my computer wanted to die on me, I quickly swapped SATA cable and Power cable of the HDD just to make sure... Now HDTune is showing 74 in the current column of the spin up time, obv. its still red because it...
