Had a mind so....crysis 2 not boring IMO, it a bit more strategic than some shooters though, you hada plan how you goin to attack first, or you can do the classic and run out like a badman and shoot everybody, but you'll most likely die...atleast i did but some people don't like it.

And yeah my other rig has a 560ti it can keep up with it.

yuh use the high res textures and stuff?? If you could a be able to run without draining suit energy it would a be ok. I used to just put on armor and run out and melee alien and man from a side. But it get boring too fast.

^ Hahah dat is COD.
Na i never used the tesselation packs or anything...but it never dropped below 55fps, and i didn't overclock it...YET
BTW it's the DS superclocked one.

Well i playin on post-human warrior, and i find i die really fast even with armor...i realise d harder the difficulty doesn mean the ai smarter, you just die more easily.

What You guys think about the new Bulldozer line up?
The 8150 price looking tempting and I kinda take a liking to this

[Elyon]

^^ that mboard looks nice however the long heatpipe bothers me,

and just a heads up, alot of ppl here are going to hate on bulldozer, but if you prefer it i say go for it.

[Ronaldo95163]

The new i7s pwned them actually. Not in the rush to buy it. I good with my 950 right now

I never really had a Good AMD System before.

[iM@st@1]

You can't go wrong with either choice (AMD/Intel), is just one a lil faster than the other but they both deliver on their respectable fronts.

That mobo is pretty nice btw, what model?

[ichiniisama99]

sweet...wtk the model too

[Elyon]

the model is on the board 990fxa-ud7, ud7 so its probably gigabyte's highest end bulldozer board, still ugly heatpipe

[Ronaldo95163]

Nah man. Board looks wonderful

[ichiniisama99]

Lol why don't you like the heatpipe?

[Elyon]

Nah man. Board looks wonderful

Board looks awesome i won't lie, its just that heatpipe looks out of place against the black pcb, but that's just my preference.

[Chiney]

The run out like a badman and shoot everybody does work in COD for me....not Battlefield

It does work in bf3 sometimes if yuh using a LMG other that that you dead.

reminds me of that troll i hit you

when u was flying across the beach in your jeep and i was in the heli. LOL

ah blow up the man c4 with my rocket pods just before was about to blow up a tank..if u hear cuss...


goodtimesssssssssss

on post human is like you dont even have a nano suit. Yes i was a COD player but not anymore lol. The guns in crysis 2 seem to do nothing at all thats why i played it like that. lol. The sniper rifle is the only thing that does damage.

[firstchoicett]

Nice board looks better the asus

[Ronaldo95163]

Asus Looks better imo

So I came across this GPU cooling mod on OCN using a Antec Kuhler 620 & decided to try it out, needless to say the results are impressive.... load temps dropped by about 15-20°.....idle not so much tho, but I didn't reapply any TIM cause it had a decent amount left over when I removed the HS. May reapply some NT-H1 & see if that helps. Temporary/inexpensive GPU cooling solution till I save for a proper custom loop.

Custom mounting bracket. Guy did a great job, u can get it customized to ur liking.


Lapped the cooler since it was a used one


Dissecting the beast


Kuhler installed w/ additional 92mm fan to cool the VRMs


Finished product




Fun lil project, was kina bummy taking apart meh brand new $500us card

[Elyon]

no matter what anyone says, that's awesome master, hope that didn't cost too much though otherwise u would have been better of going full custom liquid cooling

[Chiney]

thats awesome

i know someone else who is doing that as well

will give him a chance to spill the beans and post pics himself


good going master!!!

who buying first?

[iM@st@1]

Thanks guys, cool thing bout this mod it works with any of the corsair/antec closed loop systems & compatible with the majority of high end cards.

Mod total = $521.00 TT / $80 US = cheaper than jus a block for the card = WIN !!!!

Ok so reapplied some NT-H1, & have the rad in a push pull config, idle temps have dropped to a nice 32°, stock was 39-41°.

Load is where I've seen the most improvement, 52-53° (Furmark, Heaven), stock was the usual 69-71°. OC is much easier now as well.

[Chiney]

thats actually very good


under a real wc loop we got nothing higher than 43c though

This is the shader/mod i'm using:

yea no problem. I buying the same cooler and stuff as you and similar bracket. I using a Uv blue led fan on mine though. You bought heatsinks for the ram and on the 680?

[iM@st@1]

Nah didn't bother to, alot of ppl were saying the addtl 92mm fan is enough. I may put some on in the near future or some thermal pads but its not a urgent matter. U sell ya 6870 already or is that you gonna be cooling?

[iM@st@1]

cool stuff man!
