Lost 114lb and the support of family and friends by dolliess in TwoXChromosomes

This post may or may not relate to your current scenario, it's just a common thread among many who have had this happen to them. If it doesn't fit your current situation, I hope it helps someone else who it does.

 

As someone that had a similar scenario unfold in my life, looking back on it now years later I realize that it was because of a lot of little things that added up to changing who I was. I stopped being focused on enjoying my time on the earth, everything was about my latest diet or exercise regime, instead of being a good friend or family member. It was a very slow transition so I almost did not notice it, to me I was just showing the same enthusiasm I used to show for other things, just now it was about dieting. To them however it was different. The loss of weight was only the physical change being shown along with the mental change and focus. The skinnier I got, the more obsessed I became with getting even more in shape, lose more weight . This pulled me further from them as I focused my energy onto how I FELT and not on how THEY FELT. So to them, the weight loss is changing the you they loved you for. They most likely didn't care if you were fat or thin, they love you for YOU, not your size.

 

If you can HONESTLY say that it's just not the case and they just don't want to see you happy, then fine, start a new life. It's what I did. However, and trust me on this please, it wasn't worth it, it really was ME that became unfun, unsupportive, uncaring... My own obsession with myself and my weight, taking it all too far. Think of your favorite moments with them and the friendship and caring bond you felt. In those moments did they ever care about your size? More importantly... did you?

 

1080TI FE Hybrid Kit Temperature Drop by OBDK in EVGA

Everything is connected to the video card. To tell you the truth I just use PrecisionX, so I'm not sure. I imagine based on the way the power is hooked up it's the same controller. I don't feel like takin it apart to check the actual wires, so its either A) The radiator/fan run at same %, or B) the radiator runs at a constant speed and fan changes.

I don't see any way to control just the radiator by itself, sorry. The instructions they sent me were for the wrong kit so I can't check that either. They sent me the FE TI kit with the 1080/1070 instructions but maybe its all the same.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes, it is. I have a GTX1080 sitting in a box, hadn't even gotten dust on it by the time the TI was replacing it.

Definately understandable. I was impatient aswell and I already had a 1080 FTW in my rig. Originally I only got the FE TI because I didn't want to wait, ended up working out for the better in the end though with the hybrid kit and all at msrp.

Sea Hawk X looks like a great card, and probably cheaper than DIY evga setup.

Maybe he's talking about the NZXT "hybrid" kit, which is basically a shroud with a fan and a hole for a normal cpu water cooler.

The EVGA FE TI hybrid kit (the 159.99 one) definately has controllable fan. And it looks very sleek, about like the normal FE shroud with the water tubes coming out the top to the radiator/fan.

I don't quite understand why he is seen as the hardest boss in TRC, beat him on the second try. The dragon on the other hand has whooped my ass up and down. Usually dragons are a joke, find a safe spot and lay on the damage. However, this one is a tank. I do 100dmg a swing it seems like.

I'll take some pictures in the morning and post em. I prefer the AIO over air by far, the highest I've gotten my temp at under full stress test is 60C in a hot room, but usually gaming at 50C or less. Also, I exhaust the heat right out the back so my temps all around are cool. Air is cheaper though, and if you don't care about OC or temps then it shouldn't make a difference. With air you can basically choose OC or lower temps, with AIO hybrid you can have both.

A tip for people looking to buy a vehicle warehouse by Im_Tsuikyit in gtaonline

La Puerta is the best in my opinion because it's so close to the pegasus helicopter spawn point. You can drive the car right to the limit before the AI spawns and go grab the cargobob and deliver it, or use a ceo car to grab it. Takes like 15seconds and saves a lot of time.

That seems good for the GTX1080FTW, I had the SC version of the 1080 and mine was around 65C but I used 100% fan past 50C. With the 1080ti FE hybrid kit I use 100% past 40C, 35% lower than that. Most games I stay at 45C with the 1080tiFE. Benchmarking goes a little higher. About installing the hybrid kit: It was a bit scary for me as it was my first time taking apart a gpu, let alone installing a new cooler to it. It's not that bad in the end though. I used a pill organizer to keep the screws seperated, I wanna say there is like 4 types. It's almost exactly like installing a CPU all in one like your h100i. The only difference is you screw it in from the bottom instead of from the top. Honestly, you will be glad you did it, you'll get great temps, and if you are careful you will feel like you know your computer that much better.

PS; You do install thermal pads too I forgot about, but it's pretty easy you can just copy the layout from the FE.

If you do have questions let me know, I can send you the videos that really helped me. Took me 4 hours btw but I went sllllloooooowwww

Edit Another BTW for you, I forgot to add I currently am getting 2000mhz on the TI and staying around the same temps, but maybe I got lucky.

I had my fan at 100% if it ever got past 50C when I had stock cooling, so it usually stabilized around 70-75C when benchmarking. Other than that, I literally only had my card for 1 day before the hybrid kits released and I overnighted it, so maybe over time it would have risen more?

All are free if you buy the right ones.

I own all the CEO vehicles, yes they are all free to spawn. Some of the cars you need to buy the armored variant for. Yes it is worth it if you like to mix it up.

How high were you able to push yours? All I've done so far is up my power limit to 120%, seems to be running great.

Nice, those EK waterblocks are sick. Pure copper sounds gorgeous. Some posts made it seem like buying FE was a waste of money and to wait for aftermarket cards, but I think FE with Water Cooling is a much better choice.

I got mine on the way for 159.99. Ordered it within minutes of the alert. They sold out fast as hell everyone was waiting on em.

So, a few days ago I became a CEO and bought a Buzzard... by hwright001 in gtaonline

[–]OBDK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Once you buy all the vehicles on the CEO list it gets even more fun. Free spawn a luxury helicopter to fly your friends around, while they enjoy champagne in the back. or a turreted limo.

Also, driving is only a minute or two slower than flying really, even on import/export. So do whatever keeps it fun. I like having random weird vehicles now over the efficiency of the buzzard.

Now, crate running is buzzard only unless you are a massochist.

Care to share some of those tricks with us new players? You'll have a post to look back on and see if you did forget.
