AESdecryption

I just finished watching Psycho Pass and i have to say I was really impressed in a lot of ways by it. It's pretty dark and morbid so if you can't handle seeing a bit of gore it is not for you, but it is such a deep show that discusses a lot of philosophy as it relates to society and law. Plus the animation is on point

Objection! You haven't finished watching Psycho Pass because season 2 is airing this winter (3rd episode already aired).

There's a noticeable difference in temperature, if one uses air cooling or a closed waterloop cooling solution. Especially if you want to run your 6core CPU with a preset overclocking.

I would recommend you to change your cooling solution to a Corsair H100i or a Corsair H110.

I'm using AS5 as well and the following two pictues will show, how the thermal compound eroded/burned off over time.

This was after almost a year in use, after some time you'll have to do a repaste, it is virtually unevitable

I didn't do preset overclocking, my motherboard allowed custom voltage settings and memory clocks. So I manually cranked up the GHz in increments of .1 - .2 GHz through the BIOS settings. Then I checked how hot the CPUs ran under load with the specific overclock settings.

Okay, then it's not to serious

hmm ok...I had higher temperatures as well, back when I used the Corsair H100 cooler and applied an overclock of 4.2 to 4.5Ghz on all 6 cores...I think it's normal...

What's your cooling solution + thermal compound? When was the last time you repasted your CPU?

Noctua NH-D14 air cooling with Arctic Silver 5 Polysynthetic Silver. I last repasted the CPU before attaching the Noctua heatsink (I don't remove the heatsink at all).

@angerthosenear, do you have any plans to watch the animes of this summer season?

How about a CPU-Z verification link and some pics?

I don't think he'll answer, most of new members on this forum don't revisit.

Depending on the laptop, you might not be able to support 3 antennas as several wireless cards would require for optimal performance

Oh Nice, any chance you know if it'll be on CrunchyRoll?

It should be streaming on CrunchyRoll on July 5th, 2014 (here).

lod horizon is awesome, also this year may come SAO 2, does anyone know date ?

First episode of Sword Art Online Season 2 will air on July 5th, 2014 (here) in Japan.

ARMA is more of a simulation than what battlefield is, and battlefield doesn't try to be like ARMA, they're different games just like CoD and CF are different games. I do agree however that DICE/EA have been greedy money hungry bastards lately :/

The DLC mainly comes from EA, DICE didn't even offer most of their Battlefield 4 DLC (grenades, shotguns, pistols, dmrs, etc) until a few months after Battlefield 4 was released. I recently got an update for Titanfall and there wasn't any noticeable changes except an option to purchase DLC in-game.

This season is pretty interesting...

Anime to watch	Why (order of list is semi-important)
Knights of Sidonia	full well done CGI, best audio EVER (realistic noises, not that generic stuff, metal on metal sounds EXACTLY like metal on metal), even sounds good with audiophile equipment, story is very well written, no holds on sensitive matters / unnerving things (keep it at that). Just. Watch. It. I don't even like mecha things at all and I'm suggesting it heavily.
Mahouka	This MC is amazing. He is absurdly OP at what he does, but isn't rude or anything. He knows his limits and is VERY clever. The sister is mega annoying though, just ignore her.
No Game No Life	huehuehuehuehue, game competition type in an alternate world
Blade and Soul	based on MMO, turning out really good
Black Bullet	OP little girls (corrupted) that fight giant things, corruption widespread and causes said giant things
M3 - Sono Kuroki Hagane	dark, spoiler spoiler spoiler, dark ;D
Captain Earth	save the world with mecha, following in footsteps of his late father, pretty art
Brynhildr in the Darkenss	dubstep opening, magic girls with very very brutal restrictions, secret lab with not-so-nice research
Akuma no Riddle	assassin yuri girls
Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin	series of silly intricate puzzles to find Nanana's collection of artifacts, and find out spoiler spoiler spoiler ;D

Which motherboard do you have? Which bios version are you using?

Other system components?

I never had such issues with my Asus Rampage IV Extreme and I have also installed four ram modules.

The CPU is paired up with a Gigabyte X79-UP4 motherboard. I'm using Kingston HyperX 1600MHz RAM sticks, checked for ram errors with memtest86+ (no errors found). Fortunately, the system almost never freezes (I would be more worried if it were more frequent).

UPDATE (5/21/2014): I ran my i7-3930k @ 4.2GHz with 1.224 core voltage. I found the max temperature to be 78 C, which is significantly higher than stock clocks (62 C) and Tcase (66.8 C) as noted by Intel. I suppose I'll stay away from overclocking this chip for now.

squinks has demonstrated that it is doable. We know too that SLI requires a x4 link which a second Thunderbolt port would provide, or even using a pcie bridge as is found in the multi-slot Sonnet TB enclosure products.

Yes, cost of this is the detracting factor. Anandtech's article does show a whole desktop system will cost less than this. Why does the Sonnet III-D enclosure cost US$979? I've seen figures like US$20 being bantered around for the cost of the Thunderbolt chip. So is the > 4000% upmark for the enclosure? Why are Intel forcing vendors to provide an enclosure solution as part of the certification? Or is this a case of monopolizing the market?

This requirement for an enclosure and huge cost upmark (profiteering) for it is absurb. The engineering to add an enclosure or pcie slot around a Thunderbolt chip is not at all complex. An enclosure can even detract from the usage of the product. I'd prefer to NOT have an enclosure. Rather, just a board like a PE4H 2.4 with a locked pci-e slot. If I need extra protection I'll just purchase a video card with a backplate option. Then the whole thing is much smaller AND has no ventilation issues.

The best thing is the financial constraints of this solution are coming to the fore and users will start investigating what part of the supply chain for these Thunderbolt enclosures is making the cash grab.

I agree that enclosures aren't always preferred. Aside from the actual costs that go into the making of the enclosure, there is no actual competition for cheap solutions on the market. MSI's GUS II was announced 2 years ago (in January of 2012 The Verge briefly showed it), but we still don't see it on the market (people speculate it to be ~$150 or more). I recently came across one of your old posts (here), and I would go with a hwtool's recalled TH05 if I could (the product page doesn't exist "anymore" but here).

Also, Thunderbolt hasn't been widely adopted by most laptop manufacturers. Dell has yet to announce a mobile Precision with Thunderbolt and HP has pretty much left the laptop PC business (Elitebooks with/without Premiercolor). I would wait on a cheaper eGPU Thunderbolt solution or just go with an expresscard/mPCIe solution.

Impressive work squinks! The whole eGPU setup cost more than $2000 , that costs more than the computer itself!

Multi-GPU CUDA processing giving supercomputer power in your home or office

Assuming you can attach another eGPU to the other Thunderbolt port and successfully utilize it, the costs would total to $4000+! That isn't a cost anyone can come across and acknowledge as necessary at home. Higher tier CUDA products (NVIDIA Quadro line) costs more per GPU, pushing the costs even further!

You're probably hitting the limits for USB 3.0 data rate. BluRay has a pretty high bitrate, and at 24x speed, it's probably too much for USB 3.0.

:googling:

Looks to be max video bitrate is 40 Mbps and max data rate is 54 Mbps... so at 24x speed... that would be about 1296 Mbps. hmmm USB 3.0 maxes out at 5 Gbit/s so that doesn't quite give you an answer...

Perhaps it's the program you are using to burn? Also, it's probably burning slower so it doesn't mess up / give you corruptions.

I think he's referring to a external drive configuration like this (specs here). 24x CD read is actually 1/9 the rate of 24x DVD read. DVDs would read at ~33.36 MB/s and CDs would read at ~3.707 MB/s (here).

Yeah, I've already ordered another laptop. I just don't know how best to sell by existing one. I can get at least £200 for the Nvidia 770m on it's own, so I don't know whether it's better to take it apart an sell the g-card, processor, screen, keyboard, RAM etc individually, or just to sell the laptop as-is with a reserve of £350. Tricky one.

Selling it together will net one sale, for less though. Less headaches.

Parting it will net more profit, but much harder. You might not be able to sell all parts and can take months.

You could sell the GPU for £200 as you originally planned, but keep the other parts somewhere safe in the house so you can service you new computer if something goes wrong (RAM, processors, and WLAN card are probably the only ones compatible).

I'm an architecture student going into College and I've been informed by my professors that I need to purchase a Quadro graphics card in order to run the hardware acceleration in the drafting programs we use. To me, this doesn't make any sense; why would I downgrade my already powerful GTX 780ti's (in three way SLI: overkill? Yes, I'm aware. But why the hell not?) for something not nearly as powerful, the Quadro 5000, and spend over $1000 on one graphics card? I've been reading about ways to crack the 660 into working, or at least reading, like a Workstation card, but is there a way to do it on something as recent as the 780ti? I'd still like to be able to retain the gaming capabilities of my PC but also, you know, succeed in college and not spend a fortune on another graphics card when I have 3 perfectly good ones in my machine already?

Have you considered the costs of the branding "Quadro" and the actual hardware that goes into the Quadros? Recent desktop Quadros use ECC (error correcting code) chips not found in the usual GeForce series. ECC is necessary for preventing computational errors from occurring (read about ECC memory here). As Tech Inferno Fan pointed out, you could probably trick a GeForce GPU into believing it is a Tesla (Quadro). But I wouldn't expect the same as NVIDIA also nerfed the computational abilities of double precision of GeForces.

I have been using an i7-3930k @ 3.2 GHz (stock), had a few sudden freezes (mouse wouldn't move until I rebooted the computer). I'm not sure if it has something that is related to the fact that 4 of 8 DIMMs are occupied.

Do you have a spare PSU that can even power the external GPU? You probably have to take out some money out of your wallet for some special parts.

We have a whole subforum dedicated to this:

DIY e-GPU Projects

Maybe a mod could move this thread, or you can create a thread in there and lots of people will be happy to help.

It won't really get noticed in here.

I agree with rhx123 about posting this question to the eGPU subforum.

From my own experience, the page file can be set under limitations by the file's size. If you set a limit to the page file and your programs exceed both RAM and page file limitations, the memory respective to the applications currently running are subject to crashing (ie. Google Chrome crashed on me for excessive amounts of tabs). You can read the following tomshardware thread (here) for instructions on how to change your settings.

Right now I'd say the best anime I've watched in a long time overall for story arcs, character development and especially laughs is Gintama. Others I liked are the usual FMA, Naruto, Bleach, Attack on Titan etc. but man nothing touches Gintama IMO. For those that have watched Gintama, I'd say this scene in episode 67 had me rolling:

Which FMA anime? Some people have varying views regarding the old and reboot version that follows canon (manga).

I would recommend Cowboy Bebop as a classic and FLCL for bizarre character development. There are other animes I would recommend, but it mainly depends on what your perspectives are regarding animes at the moment. Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has quite the humor (sometimes NSFW humor).

Also loving my SLI GTX780 setup. I have a 780 classi to go into the rig for tri-SLI but not sure it is even really needed for 1440p.

Are you talking about 3 way SLI gaming on 1440p? A single GTX 780 is enough to play most games at 1440p (referring to GTX 780 benchmarks here).

Hi guys, I'm from NBR (although I'm kind of late in joining compared to the wave of members that joined 2 years ago). I joined NBR a few months after my Dell Inspiron 1525 died (physical frame failure). At that point I started using a Thinkpad T61 along with a Dell tower (nothing too crazy); overtime I helped people troubleshoot and gave advice when I could. When I'm on the forums, I usually spend time reading the threads instead of posting (the main reason why my post count is low). At one point, I started the BOINC team (inspired by DR650SE's F@H thread for NBR's team) for NBR and it was quickly forgotten (I helped compute 1 million points alone before I stopped). When I asked for advice regarding issues I had with my computers, few members bothered to reply and left me on my own to fix my problems. When it came to certain discussions, some members chose to belligerently reply (some of these replies weren't even logical). My intentions of my posts are to share information of my problems or contributions so others are informed of their choices.
