@rollingzeppelin: everything you said is wrong , the turbo boost is on almost all Intel CPUs and it runs whenever the PC uses a lot of resources or you set your PC on always performance on the power options, the K in the name of the CPU means u can change the multiplier to w/e you want and that's what makes it easy to overclock , if you want to overclock you need to disable the turbo boost because it cause the instability in your PC then change the multiplier slowly and test it out with Prime95 and see if it's stable and keep increasing the multiplier until your PC become unstable then go back to whatever setting you found your PC running fine or go a bit higher and fiddle with voltages but I advice against that as someone new to overclocking , if you want to go deep into it there is always videos and specialized forums on that matter , as the guys said your CPU is really good , even better than a lot of the new CPUs if you overclock it , some people manage to get it to 5GHz with no problems but with the default clock speed it won't bottleneck 970GTX or 980GTX for that matter ,In fact you will almost get double "fps" in a lot of games that are GPU dependent by upgrading from 670 to 970 and that's worth it, also your PC power down because of the instability caused by changing the boost clock(has nothing to do with your PSU OR MOBO) , you should disable it and increase the default CPU multiplier and see how it goes.
Hey guys! , so I was holding back to play Dark Souls 2 on PC and I avoided everything about it, but I have one question; is there Valve Anti-Cheat system? , since DS1 PvP was full of Cheat Engine hackers , i just hope it is in this version of the game since the SteamWorks integration. Thanks!
