Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Been playing poe too and searing touch is op :c

Hmm.. can't find my current GPU on Newegg anymore.

Hey, Proth... with a custom fan curve already set, my GPU idles anywhere from 24-33C depending on the temp of my room. If it's like low 80s/high 70s it might hit 35C. Highest I've ever seen it get while gaming would be 60-65C and that would have been FarCry 3 with maxed settings. Majority of games it only gets to about 60C.

Games like D3 get it to about 55-58C.

Using a 670GTX I believe... About how much could I probably increase my clocks?

My fan curve is as follows: 40% fan @ 30C, 65% @ 60C, 80% @ 70C, and 100% @ 90C. I think.. that's close anyway.

It came with the "factory overclock"... Galaxy brand iirc.

yeah, have got reave already thankfully as well as frenzy, not sure what else to get though. i've been playing it all by ear, i want a melee character though for sure that specializes in "quick" combat, so I've been pumping all of my passives into DEX, dual wield attack speed+dmg, and sword attack speed+dmg.

that's what my tree looks like atm




increasing clock speeds will very rarely cause a significant temperature variation. when you start pumping in more voltage to accommodate for higher clocks is when things start to heat up. the major limiting factor when it comes to OCing a GPU is stability; if you see artifacts or get driver crashes it means you've set the clock too high and need to dial it back. fortunately modern hardware regulates itself and it's effectively impossible to outright fry a chip, so there's no danger in experimentation. the upper limit for a majority of cards with be +125 to core clock, some going as high as 200 if you're really, really lucky.

i'm not sure if galaxy does it, but some GPU manufacturers put in their own custom PCBs and electronics in order to better regulate power and thus increase your ability to overclock. asus and msi have the best solutions for this with DirectCU and TwinFrozr brands. EVGA's FTW line is pretty good too.

Overclocking is basically free performance for the stuff you've already bought. Can get up to a 5~10FPS boost for doing it, which is really nice since it costs nothing. Overclocking the CPU is useful too, but doesn't really provide the same level of benefit and is a lot more technical; however with research and the right chip, if you can OC to 4.5gHZ you're pretty solid. Anything over 4.5 is worthless, though. RAM overclocking is just a complete and utter waste of time and system stability... the difference between, say, 16GB of DDR3 1066mHZ RAM and 16GB of DDR3 2133mHZ RAM is under 1 FPS on average.

So the +50 to core and +150 to memory would be safe to do? Never really looked into or bothered with overclocking. And would I need to increase any voltages?

At what point should I worry about my temps? GPU anyway. No desire to attempt to overclock my CPU.

+50 and +150 will 99% surely be stable. Shouldn't need to increase voltage. Temps can go up to 80 before you really need to worry about it, but the card will throttle itself before then anyway.

Thanks for the info!

I'm sure it depends on the card, but any idea about how stable +100 and +200 would be?

need to experiment and see, every chip is different. silicon lottery may give you something that can OC all the way to 150 easily



also first legendary, don't know if it's any good or not since I don't use 2h but the base damage on it made me wtf

Figured as much. Guess it's mainly going to be trial & error.

Free telepoots for using my token? Where was this the other day when I was porting around for BSM leves?!

Good morning and Happy St Patrick's day to you all!

Leon, I got Tier V Omega Rep. Still have not tried out the Ability, but 9k dilith! WOOT! I think if we get to Tier 3 Shipyard, I will get some Adapted MACO set or something. Also, *** Elite Mirror Incursion. I do Regular now. Much more sane.

*Pinches* You're not wearing green!

/looks down at green polo shirt.

not shure if colour blind or just wanted to touch me...

TY Josi and Ohji for this good pic. :3

I read this wrong...

*goes back to sleep*

ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!

Still like how it looks like the taru is trying not to look lol

Yums!!~

Taru have a good view...my elvaan *** would have to tie my shoe laces or something...

What's your name on PoE, Proth? I'll add you.

Nice avi Mine.

Holy ***! That Build Fighters episode! >_>
Those new customs! <_<
That *** preview! @_@

Edit:
Also, dem *** cameos! So glad Bernie and Chris got a happy ending in BF at least! ; ;
And dat Char lol.

Sounds like a good ep! I will watch the show soon when I get bored.

Edit: Also a nice avi sir.

You have no idea. At least 25 different characters had cameos today. The fights were brilliant (as expected of an Obari episode). And dat *** ending scene has me so hyped for next week, I don't even know what to do with myself. ; ;

Prepare your wallet. You'll be buying at least 1 new Gunpla by the end of it all. :I

Thanks.

I hope not, I have not even rebuilt my collection in the box. >_< I should do that before I buy/build more, but it is also acting as a deterrent and my wallet is happy about that. D:

DO you know how people get the Borg Ocular Implants (like ones with laser) on their chars?

Also, saw a Fleet Venture X Class the other day...I drooled....it's so pretty......

This hand of mine is BURNING RED! Its loud roar tells me to grasp victory! ERUPTING BURNING FINGER

:I

Now I want a Miss Sazabi and giant Haro cookie

Oh trust me, Build Fighters will make you want to fix up those old kits. Especially episode 15.

Pretty sure those are Liberated Borg. It's one of the possible unlocks for lifetime subs IIRC.

Leon and Misa! I am in SHOCK! Neither of you submitted an MSPC entry! Not even for nostalgia's sake? For shame!

Screw Miss Sazabi, I want this sexy beast.Agree on the Haro cookie though; they look great. :I

I couldn't think of anything good. :<

I suck with plastic. I am decent with wood, being a carpenter, but suck at plastic. I remember I wanted to take some 1/100 strike's and paint the white parts in different colours and make them neat. Never could get past the "If I do this and buy it, will I have to paint it while still on the tree or after assembled??" and never went through XD

Okay, thanks, not that I want them, but seeing them a lot when I hang out in K-7 and it makes me curious. Was thinking maybe an Omega Unlock and I wasn't doing something or didn't see it.

didnt finish it....
I uhm.. uhm...
