RememberThe5th · Nov 23, 2015

I got 40-50 in crysis 3 on med but on 1337x768 acts like 1600x900..

Ps: Save money for intel core 2 quad or go with i5.I had my chance this summer i worked 5 months had around 3000$..... Please kill me.... Yes im 16..

My 2600K and 980 Ti max the game quite nicely at 2560 x 1440. All settings including godrays on Ultra. 77 hours in so far and I love this game! 😀

So I've been doing bursts of Intel Burn Test(I get higher temps faster compared to Prime95).
I'm gonna try out Folding at home as well....

So far, My Idle(with 6-10 chrome tabs, steam, and libre office) is between 48-50C, so a decent drop over the 55-60C... Gaming temps hold between 60-65C, no matter what the game... With IBT, The temps can go up to 75C...

Damn

Turb0Yoda · Nov 23, 2015

I'd want to see that board post and go through a half hour of IBT with that OC..... that looks fun though

That and some paint...

That error with the CPU though... lmfao

If you want to see how your CPU will perform in games that are strictly framerate-capped, try BES:
http://mion.faireal.net/BES/
It introduces an artificial CPU bottleneck by putting it to sleep intermittently. Also helps reduce CPU usage.

The software helped me run old games(like Commandos from Eidos Interactive) on my old XP system with comfortable speed.

I'll bookmark that. Good resource.

Is anyone good at modding ps2? XD

cst1992 · Nov 24, 2015

g-unit1111 :

When earlier I was looking for software that limits the speed of such old games, I came across CpuKiller3, which uses some algorithm to use the CPU to a certain %. While it was satisfactory in the sense it slowed down the games, the CPU was always maxed out, and I was like: "this isn't the answer". BES turned out to be a much better idea.

RememberThe5th · Nov 24, 2015

Does it really matter The CPU chache?Like 2MB 6MB 12MB?

Turb0Yoda · Nov 24, 2015

Very much so..
My old E3500 and new E8400 are basically identical apart from the clock speeds and triple the L2 cache... Now I can play games...

g-unit1111 · Nov 24, 2015

Called it!!!

The 1000w version of that is like $60. Someone over at PCPP was trying to tell me it is an excellent PSU. Good joke. :lol:

cst1992 · Nov 24, 2015

g-unit1111 :

$50 for a 850W? Thanks for the laugh.

cst1992 · Nov 24, 2015

Has anyone used the Edge series PSU from Antec? I had chosen a Seasonic M12II 750 Evo for the Birthday build(it's Seasonic), but the Edge seems to be cheaper here, and it's Gold certified.
It's a pity I can't build the Stepping Stone yet, it's like half an hour left of the Birthday, 23:36 over here.

Deleted member 217926 · Nov 24, 2015

The Antec Edge is based on the Seasonic G platform. A step up from the M12 II.

I said in multiple Black Friday threads that Tiger Direct was going to be selling their junk Ultra brand PSUs for $40, and I was right! :lol:

All day long I have been learning from these fantastic articles on electricity. This website http://amasci.com/elect/elefaq.html (which has all its articles written completely by a professional electrical engineer) has helped me understand more and more the concept of "electricity" (which by the way does not even exist). I learned a ton, such as how electric current is not always just electrons but it can be a flow of protons or ions, how electricity is never really produced, only electromagnetic energy is which across a circuit which has a current as its medium. Electric charges are always present, a generator just moves them. I also learned more such as how "electric pressure" is not so good of an understanding of voltage, and how current is often misconceived. Voltage is basically static electricity, the static fields that attract positive and negative subatomic particles or atomic particles, just as magnetic fields attract opposite poles.

I highly recommend to any of you to read some of these articles, as they are extremely informative and also state what is being incorrectly taught to kids in schools about electricity. This has helped me a lot in my journey to understand more and more about power supplies.

Get an EE degree. You can do alot with it. My uncle is an EE (PHD) and he is VP of Amazon web services.

I work at an engineering firm. All the licensed employees where I work have all said that electrical / mechanical is one of the hardest majors to graduate with a decent GPA from, maybe landscaping a close second.

tiny voices · Nov 24, 2015

Yeah but you don't need a good GPA when you have an EE/ME degree. I have buddies with 2.8 GPAs who are EEs/MEs/CEs and graduated with $80k+ jobs.

cst1992 · Nov 24, 2015

It's not about the GPA(unless it's excessively low). You just have to prove beyond a doubt that you're the right candidate. And not give up. Ever.

tiny voices · Nov 25, 2015

I have talked very extensively about this here before. It is all about marketing yourself.
