It has its own menu now. You’ll find the button for it up in the left corner, where the mail icon is.
Sure is. Using Win 8 Pro 64-bit right now. Not a single crash so far and the FPS is quite fine.
Ok, I went back to standard CPU settings. I’ll get that Coolermaster 212 Evo, but i don’t know how to install it. Gonna ask in the store. Thanks for the help guys.
If you’re willing to to spend a bit extra I highly recommend getting the Corsair H80 cooler.
It’s $90, but even at its lowest setting it keeps my OCed 3570k at <75C at 100% load and it’s wonderfully quiet.
“AIDA 64 is brilliant BUT i highly recommend Prime95 ..it stresses harder and is free ..unlike Aida 64.”
While Aida 64 not being free is a point of concern, last I heard it was one of the few becnhmarking tools that could properly and safely stress test the Ivy Bridge line. My information is about two months old though and other tools may have caught up now.
“Secondly ..i wouldnt start of a t4.2ghz The ivybridge processors have a tendancy to suddenly burst in to flames (not literaly) once they hit their threshold.”
As long as you don’t touch the vcore you’ll be fine. All that’ll happen is you’ll get smacked with a BSOD due to unsufficient power if you keep vcore at base and clock more than your Ivy can handle. 4.2 will be perfectly safe for the average batch, bad ones will BSOD and you’ll just have to go back to the BIOS and lower it a bit.
“The 3570k turbos up to 3.8ghz anyway..”
Ah yes, quick note here if the topic starter hasn’t done any OCing before; for a simple OC of a 3570k all you need to do is raise the turbo multiplier to whatever you want (42 for 4,2ghz since the FB is 100mhz on the 3570k). Raising the base clock is uneccessary as there’s no reason to force your CPU to run at top power while you’re just listening to music. By raising the turbo multiplier only the CPU will only go into badkitten mode when you need it. I have the same CPU right now and it’s working like a charm.
Sure can. 4.2 is usually the ‘safe’ limit for the stock cooler.
’course, after you OC, boot up AIDA 64 and run a stress test to make sure. If you go 80C+ you should dial it down a bit as long as you have the stock cooler.

Hmm. I’m running Windows 8 64-bit with the new FoV here and I’m having no trouble at all.
Try right-clicking the gw2.exe file (actual file, not the shortcut to it), click Properties, go to the Compatibility tab and check ‘Run this program as an administrator’ and try again.
