Ok so I ended up actually ordering an Asus P8P67 PRO from overclockers.co.uk. Not because of any hint or advice from you guys of course. Will be interesting to see if its latent Chavness fucks me over real good when it arrives.
So now I have to buy the other components from all kinds of random places around town. Hopefully I'll have a functioning computer some time next week?














lol no probably not no 

have a nice friday. let the new hardware arrives soon! 

wishing czg a nice day every day? Hmm... 

Have a nice day Vondur.
I got my order of Hellboy books from Amazon yesterday so that's cool, and I found a place that actually had GTX580 cards in stock so I'm going there during lunch maybe.
And then I got up at 6 and was at the office at 7 and so I can go home early today which is kinda cool.
And the weather is nice but realllly cold. 

The pair of them. 

 

Dear czg we don�t want to know about your personal life with of without vondur...

We want more of rubicon peace of art you did...

For the record I LOVE YOUR FUCKING MAP

You are truly a gifted guy in mapping, I have no doubts

I will NEVER make such a perfect work like that...

Make me horny, make more Quake maps! 

p.s.-> kisses 

Good morning Christian! 

Post more fat sluts with tattoos please xxx 

nitin: since czg has no computer atm he's not on IRC, therefore i greet him here. may i?

czg: cool stuffs! return back to irc!

When's Terra2? 

hey, after many years being offline i returned to my home city 

how was the sailing? 

fine, it was a lot of time sailing and living/working in novorossiysk. good times, bad times. and finally i decided to go back to rostov.

provider technician has just leaved, there are my first minutes of internet 

It's nice to know there's another Hellboy fan here. Have you read any of the BPRD books? Guy Davis and Mike Mignola are my favorite artists at the moment. 

Oh so THAT'S what happened to Pulsar. I was afraid KGB got him :( 

Obligatory GO MAP post. 

Coincidentally I've got Novoryssisk bookmarked under "Cool places" in Google Earth. That huge factory thing on the hillside with the big quarries is awesome. 

is fantastic industrial city that has both working and abandoned factories 

My computer is now working at 5Ghz, 24/7.
Overclocking a Sandy Bridge (i5-2500K) CPU is completely different from any other type of CPU I have ever done.

In short (to save yourself a lot of heartache) here is the recipe:

1 - Leave all of the CPU power features ON, turn off the turbo setting. Disable Spread Spectrum.

2 - Set your RAM to its specified speed and voltage.

3 - Increase your multiplier to 50.

4 - Increase your VCore to 1.4 volts (mine is 1.44V)

5 - Get a really good cooler cause it will get hot. And if it gets too hot it will throttle down to 2.shit Ghz and remain hot. But it wont fail (!).

Thats it! Even in Turbo mode, the core clocks down to 1.6Ghz when idle, and my temps sit around 20-25Degrees in idle! Under load (@5Ghz) Coretemp maxed at 69Degrees then stabilised. I havent given it a burn-in yet, its only been on for a couple of hours. Im using this cooler:

The fan is a 120mm fan to give an idea of scale. I have 2 fans on my cooler, one is at 100% permanently.

End log. 

out of curiosity, i thought the latest trend in cpus was for more and more parallelism-- more cores. but 5ghz is insanely fast. i thought there was some kind of thermal limit to how fast they could make the cores run at before temperatures became unmanageable...

ugh, i guess i should get back into the whole computer hardware stuff. seems like i have to relearn the whole thing every few years. :S

When I was younger I used to find that screenshot beautiful, and now I can't help but think "misaligned texture"
