Here is a thread to list some 'helpful' things to get you kick started in BF3. 1. Know your maps!!! (google them if needed) 2. Equipment should cater to your play style and map. Don't use 6x scopes for small maps. Stick with quick acquisition or open sights for small maps. Likewise on larger conquest maps, use more powerful scopes and switch to pistols when entering buildings. The Tac lights give you away but work well in small spaces. 3. Partner with your team members. Pair up and follow someone around for a while. You may not get all the kills but if your smart you may be able to cover them, learn the maps and offer support. (This tip changes as you get better) Eventually you want to space out on larger maps and group for building ambushes from different entrances. (Flanking etc...) 4. Before immediately going for the kill think about the following... (Do I have cover? Are other enemies around me? If I get the kill do I have enough time to recover for the next enemy?" 5. Use headphones with virtual surround sound. You know why some people have very high K/D ratio's??? Because they are listening for enemies approaching. You should do the same! 6. Check your radar often and HIT THAT Q BUTTON ALL THE TIME. You may get spots even when you don't see someone in open. 7. When you spawn in on an objective or player THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS PRONE! Do not turn off the light, do not throw a grenade, GO PRONE! I can't tell you how many times i have spawn in behind someone and popped a camper. 7(a) If you are spawning into an objective and keep getting killed then spawn at a different objective or back at the RU. Don't continue to give away free points to the other team. 8. If you are losing on a server, over and over, switch to another server. Some teams can not be saved. Don't attempt to save them. Go to another server. Its a pain but its better than getting overwhelmed by Team Suck Syndrome. 9. Communicate with your team. Call out campers and positions if you can't spot them. Warn others about spawn points. Play with confidence. When you act confused, your going to get popped. So don't do it. 10. Support your team members! Lay down some ammo for others to pickup. Provide some healing. Repair your vehicles. Common sense stuff that others completely forget to do. (However don't revive others in front of enemies just to get shot again... that's just annoying) 11. Try to play the objectives and capture bases when you can. Use cover to your advantage. Try not to move in the open. If your planning on taking an objective call for some assistance (helo, vehicles or team mates). 12. When attacking enemies weapon control is key. So for closer enemies you can spray more, for mid to far enemies, short taps on the fire button to shoot in bursts. As you get better weapons, you can change the fire modes from (Single, Burst, Auto). Last, I don't consider myself a pro. My stats are certainly not the greatest. If your new, these might help you out a bit. I love this game so far. Over 21 hours invested I think at this point. Best Wishes and Good Luck! StevenX XcessiveForce33 (origin and steam id)

Yeah, it was at almost 1.7V... cooled with LN2: Hardware news, Overclocking Competitions, ReviewsAn enthusiast board helps of course, this was achieved with an Asus Maximus II board, quite a bit different to the Dell board And of course you need to be pretty lucky to get such a good chip... not every CPU from this series can be overclocked like that, but there are about 60 submission which have it at 5GHz + ...

Hehehe, it's going to be difficult to get points with this CPU (at least in CPU benchmarks...) This chip has been pushed to almost 7GHz if you check out the rankings, crazy... Will check out the datasheet when I have time, I'm not sure whether I can find something, your bus clock is already at 200MHz and if I remember correctly the frequency select pins won't allow to select something above... well, we'll see. Did you check the BIOS for overclocking options?

Here's a direct link from AMD, download the drivers and see whether you can install them.

They leave away the SDK if I remember correctly... no use for end users anyway.

11.10 has gone WHQL, click here for the mobility version (direct link). Also added this to the first page and adjusted the thread title.

Thanks for the reply svl7, I'll definitely grab some. I'd rather risk a few little scratches on the die for those sort of temps.
