OH btw Mez. You may want to take off the intel turbo boost feature. I remember redfish's CPU hittin 80 C cuz of it automatically O/C the cpu. Make sure you keep an eye on those temps, more importantly on the GPU.

80C on ah i5 2500k, that's some crazy temps they. Most i does get without AC on and room temp 39-40C is 60-63C while running bf3 and my intel turbo boost on.

Yea, it's because that stock cooler is ballz for suck a beastly cpu and for some reason it was set to Turbo Boost up to 4.6GHz so that resulted in the temps virtue stated.

All safe now as it now off and it may also have to do with not having that extra fan for the airflow I want in my case. Once you know what you want just observe yuh temps as Hard O/C stated.

Yeah jed the stock cooler really fail on it, i end up buying a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. Its cheap and works really nice.

Redfish · « **Reply #83 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:37:27 PM »

I kinda diverting monies to other things but looking to buy the Thermaltake Frio cooler or an H80 if the price drops to my liking....

Alright I have been crippled with spotty internet connectivity. I bought a wireless PCI-e Card and stuck it in but either it really is too far (which doh make sense cuz my mac on wireless and connects fine)
OR
I need someone come fiddle with it a bit and make d damn thing work. cuz when it connects it slow as fork 1Mbps

What brand/model router and wireless card(s) being used?

Any objects/walls between router and PC? what materials they made of?

Redfish · « **Reply #86 on:** December 11, 2011, 02:49:21 PM »

Yuh as the fellas said, I also had wireless G before but then got a Wireless N router coupled with a wireless N USB adapter and gaming has been great since I updated the setup like 2 yrs ago (doh mind BLINK being total mess)...

Don't go buying things before asking us man, wha yuh really think it is

lol, fighting down the man yes.

but all this talk in this thread, Mez post a vantage benchmark yet?

Mez · « **Reply #88 on:** December 11, 2011, 05:17:25 PM »

I'll try dload that right now.

The 2 of them have the same GPU as you, well of course u have the 3gb version. Notice the clocks are different more specifically the core clocks. Yours is running at 772 Mhz opposed to their 900 Mhz.

Well of course they have i7's so that's their trump card over you atm but once u have the cooling, you can break 4.2 Ghz on ur CPU. What i'm getting at is your GPU score should be higher than what it is. Keep in mind though, the higher the clocks on the GPU while under load, the hotter its going to run. Turn your room into an ice box for sage measures lol

So... the issue is a mix of distance/interference and hardware issues. I'm going to suffer through skyrim until I can get the data over power system. *will place order this week when I get the $ to from le Work (y) I know allyuh waiting on the battlefield but .69Mbps eh really BF3 ready. in a timing

weak wireless.

wire ftw

or you could move your PC closer to the internet connection within comfortable reach of a cat5e patch cord in the interim if you're truly hard core. lol

LQDSNK · « **Reply #92 on:** December 12, 2011, 07:45:02 AM »

Did you try changing the channel your wireless is on though? That should reduce some interference.

captainchris · « **Reply #93 on:** December 12, 2011, 08:26:03 AM »

loving the score

about the wireless, i would really try using channels 6 or 11

Trials and tribulations.
So in migrating my pc to a new case, and installing a new OD CPU heatsink,
the heatsink was blocking ram slot 1.
so the decision was made to try and remove the heatsink from the ram in slot 1 so that it could fit.
its the corsair vengeance ram, with the big blue heatsink.
so.. in removing the heatspreaders from the ram.. one of the chips was ripped off.
I'm upset ofc, its partly my fault but either way. They are talking about repairing and i'm wondering if to say eff it, get a replacement one.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #95 on:** December 20, 2011, 11:21:27 PM »

ouch

that sucks

luckily, ram is cheap. I'd say go for a replacement.

Wouldn't dare do anything so adventurous myself as trying to remove heat spreaders from DDR3 sticks. I'd use the stock cooler on the cpu and leave the ram as is.

Especially with an already over powered rig like yours.

pressure

Mez · « **Reply #96 on:** December 21, 2011, 12:24:39 AM »

well i'm going and see if they can have it fixed. If not I'll get a stick to replace them

Mez · « **Reply #97 on:** December 21, 2011, 12:26:25 AM »

It's still running though *thank god* so i'm only on 12 gigs not 16

...which is more than enough mind you, but I know how you're feeling.

Saxman is supposed to have a single Vengeance stick of 4 GB DDR3. Not sure of the color, or speed though.

And this is why I went for the Vengeance low profile version. I said it before: those tall heat spreaders are of poor quality!

and yes, I do have a single Blue Vengeance 4GB stick I can sell you.
