    Wolfenstein: The New Order Performance Review @ [H]

    I have a i7 Sandy @4.8Ghz/1.43v with Dual PWM Deltas fans on the heatsink and when I run around at full speed through the game it actually starts to heat up the CPU and to the point that the Deltas start to ramp up like it is running Prime95/IntelBurnTest (high thread benchmark). I have not...

    [HOW-TO] Downgrade ASUS P8P67 REV 3.0 Deluxe Bios (maybe entire P8X67 series?)

    Wanted to downgrade from just release BIOS to the immediately previous one. ASUS won't let you do it with EzFlash OR AI Update (and I read somewhere that the ASUS DOS utility doesn't let you either). Tried the above method. The machine booted with the old bios number, but it was weird, I could...

    ATI/AMD Nuke Powertune/Powerthrottle utility

    Sick of the throttling, don't want to use CCC. Surprised of the lack of support to nuke this stupid feature. Saw some linux code to disable it but want it in Windows. Downloaded: http://download2-developer.amd.com/amd/GPU/zip/ADL_SDK_3.0.zip Performed the following hacks to...

    RAGE is still sucks, 3 months later. (Screenshots)

    when I enabled "large textures" (on a ATI 6950 2G). The only way I could fix it with "large textures" was running the game in XP x64 (some driver issue in 32 bit). The game itself is so bad, it is almost a farce (only paid $15). As a graphics demo, the textures "up close" look like garbage...

    My heatpipes have fallen and they can't get up. Was Warning NH-D14 mount weak...

    Heatpipes so confusing! Can someone explain this effect? The experiment: NH-D14 running deltas 255 CFM and ~200 CFM high heat (Prime95) test case. Computer lying on back core temps less than 80C, then invert case temperatures explode towards 100C (in the 90's) and climbing. This I believe...

    Warning NH-D14 mount weak/flexing. Temps go up when case put upright.

    Made a metal support brace for the NH-D14 and turned the case and got exactly the same result. I think the flexing I saw was actually the whole motherboard flexing. My current "jump to conclusion" is the effect (different temps by changing orientation of the case) is caused by the effect of...

    Warning NH-D14 mount weak/flexing. Temps go up when case put upright.

    I ran the test with case closed for a two Prime95 28K FFT runs and the temperatures were close to the same. Then I set the case up and ran and immediate the temperatures jumped. Then I inverted and the temps went crazy. I looked at the NH-D14 mounts online, the problem may be that they are...

    Warning NH-D14 mount weak/flexing. Temps go up when case put upright.

    I have been playing with my mount as I have been plagued with high temperatures from the beginning. After much confusion (and Delta fans, lapping, etc.). I just noticed that I had really good temps when I reseated and started with the PC on it side (closed case, running for a while ), but the...

    Deltas on NH-D14 Was: Heat limited i7 2600k with a Noctua NH-D14

    Using realtemp (have tried coretemp). Speedfan gives the same temps but can also include the motherboard temperature in the log which is great for figuring things out. I have reseated many times with different amounts of thermal grease, but only once since I lapped the heatsink and CPU...

    Deltas on NH-D14 Was: Heat limited i7 2600k with a Noctua NH-D14

    Was "heat limited" so have been experimenting with ways of getting the core tempuratures down. I may have a "hot CPU" but there seems to be a problem with getting decent thermal transfer out of my i7 2600K running at high volts/Ghz and 8 thread Prime95 stress tests. I wish Hardocp or someone...

    Heat limited I7 2600K with a Noctua NH-D14?

    My hyperthreading enabled. If I disable it, temperatures go way down. Also my vdroop prevention settings are at maximum and all the watt/amp settings are unlimited. For me Intelburntest and Prime95 Blend (first runs) do not get that hot. Its Prime95 small fft 10k and larger (8k is a bit...

    Heat limited I7 2600K with a Noctua NH-D14?

    I am kind confused by these "new" monster coolers, the core temperature utils are showing the cores overheating, yet the cooler is only luke warm (maybe 30C) (fins or top of the base). Old school pin coolers ran much hotter and running high rpm fans cooled them off. Yet from my experiment...

    AMD Bulldozer / FX-8150 Desktop Performance Review @ [H]ardOCP

    AMD garbage ejected yesterday. Sick of waiting, so I did not hold out for Sandy Bridge Extreme or even the i7 2700K. Found interesting article about the inside crap going on at AMD (now confirmed by the result)...
