General computer talk/advice

Ah, alright. After you've been so unbelievably nice that you told me what OCD means (#fail), and what a spaniel spanker is (#epicfail).

 

I dropped my laptop when going upstairs. It was in my laptop bag which slipped off my shoulder. It hit the dead centre of the back, knaccering the left back casing clips, fragments of those were what got in my fan. Amazingly, the battery and screen were fine .

 

I think that's called inner harm and can lead to brain/CPU malfunction and death.

 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The spaniel spanker thing is just a distasteful joke.

 

AH, got that now. Want some noisy 70mm fans? They're really loud, if you want something to make you ABSOLUTELY MAD on your morning. I love getting RAGED!!!

 

I checked everything whilst I had it apart, it is only the casing that is knackered, as far as any visible damage is concerned.

 

Good to hear that. Imagine your mainboard was broken or your battery was ripped open and the whole poisonous stuff came out.

 

lithium, just dont get it on you or get it wet although its more likely to combust during the breaking open anyway

 

Thanks for saying what I couldn't think of in that moment.

 

two gtx 760. two 24 inch, two 22 inch and 2 17 inch. only monitors i had to buy were the 17 inch. got em cheap b/c they didnt have a stand.

 

Ah, and what resolution have those monitors (each)? And how's your FPS and your settings?

 

two 24 inch =1920x1280. two 22 inch=1680x1050. two 17 inch = 1280x1024. FPS wise i think i get around 35ish fps without sli on eca on one 24 inch monitor. if you want i can tell fps when in surround on bottom 3 monitors.

 

Holy hell. That's a lot of pixels.
On the other hand I can imagine your neck being hard as a piece of wood from that whole looking up.....

 

Am I the only one who still uses 4th gen intel and 7 series nvidia cards? also ddr3!

 

More or less

 

Motherboard arrived today so I borrowed a I5 3330 of a friend and got my system built only waiting for my I7 now squeee.

Oh and to all you neigh sayers who say non K chips can't be overclocked.... Behold, a 3Ghz chip running at 3.6Ghz.

 

Explain yourself!

Did you bump up the base clock or front side bus or something?

 

multiplier at 34x bumped up the fsb to 106 = profit.

 

I have a 4690K, my card is a GTX 970 though. But most people who built a mid to high-end PC 2 years ago haven't upgraded yet, so there are lots of Haswell/Kepler builds out there.

 

I hope the Intel police don't come kicking my door in for overclocking a non K processor.
