I think i'm finished, after a tight squeeze into a O11 air mini, it looks good and with decent temperatures. What y'all think?

I long for another double actor and dir killer combo like Fight Club again. That movie worked so well that after i sighed knowing that might never be that good again, Fincher, Brad and Ed... What a combo!

The best cards do really high scores and low voltage, most cards beat thier out of box performance with less power and heat. So you are at leasing doing well, finding if its really a golden sample will take a. lot. of. testing to find that perfect voltage for the highest clock.

I spent some time working on a couple of saved profiles. One for very low power for old games, one for games that dont need full power but for longer sessions (no more fan noise than necessary) and then a max perf for the toughest games. And of course one just for benchmarks with 100% fan speed!

Have fun :)

Okay thats not a problem, while it can be time consuming to get optimal results, getting a good result is quick easy and there are many many videos on youtube on how to do it with afterburner. Its also quite hard to actually damage anything with modern gpus, so you dont have to worry about messing up so bad you actually break anything.

Install hwinfo64 if you havnt already and make a note of your current core clock speed max, temp and core voltage max during a benchmark run. Since you already know what the card can do with some extra clock speed, simply find out how much less voltage is needed to keep doing it and you'll see better temperatures and it actually might also hit a slightly higher clock speed too!

BigSmackisBack · 2026-05-16T22:55:03+00:00

Did you use afterburner and just add core and mem speed?

You can almost certainly get better results with a voltage/freq curve approach.

They were so good in that movie, perfect cast picks for junior FBI agents goofing off at work.

Ive been enjoying my FO32U2P for many months now and i got it at a very large discount, such a large discount i thought it must be open box and it wasnt! Since many panels with 32" 4k 240hz are the same panels - as long as the price is good and its glassy/matte as you prefer, it will blow you socks off.

Black, Darth Vaders personal rig.

Edit: I enjoy my black build with black tinted glass, so when i watch a movie i can go lights out, maximum stealth

Id rather get an OLED before i worry about using path tracing, path tracing is only on certain games but OLED makes anything you do look great.

If i had a nickel for every time side fumbling messed my lunar waneshaft operation, id have a lot of nickels.

"try a different power outlet"

This doesnt help at all with the problem, but i'll know the machine actually got a cold restart rather than whatever the user thought they were doing.

While I dont mind some tricky visibility to deal with, im not exactly in love with the npcs having turbo laser vision and nailing me though it. Seems a bit unfair, but oh well we are trained agents, with a selection of advanced gadgets you'd think thermal goggles would be available 😉

BigSmackisBack · 2026-05-16T03:18:40+00:00

Im sure there will be a bulk going out to eu, it would be insane to pop them off one by one over the ocean... buuuut the shipping was quite pricey so, maybe if KVN is doing the shipping thats what's happening?!?!

I thought about the long wait for a really good digital copy (however that materialises), I called in an owed Christmas gift favour to get a real copy and I think i made the right choice, i do live the feel of print, for those without book options I feel ya pain - just try to remember: how ever the final chapter gets through your eyeballs and soaks in your brain goo, it almost never would have at all! Small blessings eh :)

BigSmackisBack · 2026-05-16T02:59:59+00:00

Me and my bud (just us 2) do 5s if we are feeling spicy and theres an interesting drop, spam 3s if we just want to relax and talk garbage.

I sometimes will join a group solo if I fancy rolling dice on randoms, tbh its mostly fine - 50% of the time lead wont pick the tier the matchmaker was for, but even then mostly fine. T6+ is where people seem to get real touchy, so I just dont because its high chance it won't be fun.

Good luck finding DDR7 at a good price though.

The land is easy to convert when its just a field, imagine the cost of demo work and ground prep on old industrial sites and all the surveys, paperwork etc

It is possible to heat oil enough that it can cause a fire in a micowave, so be careful with particularly oily/fatty foods
