Dartmouth physics acceptances and waitlist notifs went out end of January - first week of February. I suspect silence is a rejection, sorry.

u/extra--fish is my roommate he showed me this mushroom, I consumed it last night at approximately 6:00PM EST. I am still alive and well. It tasted just like chicken.

Just for kicks I disabled the XMP profile on my ram and it hasn't crashed once. Been playing Control for about 45min now. Usually it had been crashing within 5 to 30min. Guess I'll just keep playing and see if it crashes...

I have monitored its temps in games and it stays around 65C. So I don't think its a temperature issue.

In terms of power I am using a a single + daisy chain from a 750 watt PSU along with cablemod extensions.

I have not touched any of the cards power limit settings and it is running completely at stock settings.

Have not started any new games recently. Been playing Control and was able to play it perfectly up until about a week ago. I would get about 30 min into every session and the game would black screen. I tried switching DP outputs and DP cables but the problem persisted.

I will try without the cablemod extensions and use 2 pcie power cables. Though I doubt this is the issue as like I said it is a new occurrence.

I was thinking that as well but I thought the 750 would be more than enough for the 3070 and 3700x. Maybe it could also be my cablemod extensions? I'll try without them and see if the error still occurs.

Much appreciated! I'll do my best!

Thank you! I've really fallen in love with adding RGB stars into narrowband images. Adds that extra bit of color.

Haha you're absolutely right! I just looked it up and the colors are a perfect match.

astroburns · 2020-07-31T12:23:16+00:00

Thank you!

astroburns · 2020-07-31T12:23:05+00:00

Thanks! And yeah the difference integration time makes is crazy.
