General computer talk/advice

At 60c the fan probably isn't even going full whack after the load stops, it wont cool down in an instant.

 

Both MSI and ASUS cards turn off the fans completely under 60*C.

 

56*c to be exact

 

If it is an MSI card and you really are worried (which you shouldn't be) then they do have a bit of software that you can download that turns the fans to 100% for 1 min at a click of a button. That will most certainly do the job. But as has been said the fans are not used below certain temperatures.

 

In any way possible for a dual-core running Windows XP to run this game in a reasonably playable manner?

The computer in question is an old Dell OptiPlex but came with an ATI Radeon of some sort rather than integrated graphics, for what reason is beyond me but I'm not complaining.

 

What dual core?

 

Intel Core2 Duo E6550. 2.33 GHz.

Money dear boy.

 

Might run at like 20 fps.

 

Does anyone know how to set the primary monitor on a motherboard. The motherboard thinks my second screen is the primary one and windows then switches the screens around once it is in control.
Is it possible to make the motherboard know which screen it should use.

Im wanting to do this in order to see if it is the cause for my gtx970 performing badly in many games such as assetto corsa and beamng where it cant hold 60fps in either game consistently due to it dropping to 60% utilization constantly.
Currently in the middle of nuking the graphics drivers from orbit and totally starting again, using DDU to do it.

 

Right click desktop, screen resolution, click the screen you want, tick "Make this my main display"

 

There isn't a way AFAIK. Most GPUs just mirror the screens anyway.

 

My 8320 is now idling 24c at almost 1.5v. I'm so proud.

 

5 GHz pls

 

Soon. First I'm seeing how high I can clock it at a relatively low voltage. (1.415v. 36c under AIDA64.)

 

is it just me or is this kinda low fps for such a good card

 

I'm also stuck at 30FPS with a 4690K and R9 270, but in grid map. No idea why.

 

it varies really bad on ecusa i can get about 30-40 but if i get the t65 oh dear dose it die

 

The T75 and T65 seem to have gotten much worse since release. Back in december I'd get 70 FPS with two T-75's.
Now I get 25 FPS with a Covet on small grid, pausing physics does nothing, neither does lowering graphics. iz broke fix pls

 

Done. Needs more voltage to actually be stable though.

 

9590 is rekt.
It should stay cool at 1.56v anyway, and might match the single thread performance of a 4690K... At stock clocks

Btw, what case do you have? Looked like a big full tower from your pictures.
