  1. Heh, we're now officially 1/3rd of ALL active users. go LTT Team! (well ok we're 0.35% short, but we'll get there.. :D)
  2. Just joined this endeavor using 5820k and 2x 980 Ti's Lets hope my passkey gets mailed soon, and my GPU's get some WU assigned
  3. Spike Intel Core i7 5820K OC @ 4.5GHz (cooled by Noctua NH-D15) MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Lightning (SLI, but that was off for this test) Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 @ 3200MHz Score: 10.7 (Very High)
  4. I run a scheduled backup every day of my most important files I want to keep. This is setup using the Folder Sync feature with the Beyond Compare software (and the great thing is: it's free for this purpouse ). This feature first checks if there are any changes (which are configurable), then based on what rules you've setup, it copies only new files and/or only missing files, and overwrites them (if newer). I wouldn't say it's easy to setup (lots of stuff to configure), but once you're there, it's perfect. So my large file collection of important stuff (is also about 400GB) takes roughly 10-15mins to backup (depending if there are new / changed files).
  5. Hey guys, I've been trying to open a .pwm database/file for a while now and I'm out of ideas. I want to either open the .pwm file with the software it was created with or get it imported into my current password manager KeePass 2. I used some kind of password manager WAY back in mid 2006 (based on modified file date), so it's kinda hard to track down which software I used to create this... Any Google searches for opening up a .pwm file come up with ThinkVantage Password Manager which only runs on Lenovo machines (which I never had). Also Password Dragon seems to use the .pwm file extension, but after several tries this also couldn't open it. I tried a bunch of other password managers today, but none could open/import it successfully. If you guys have suggestions and could help me try to figure out what software it was that can open/import this type of password database file, that would be great. Remember this was around mid 2006, so it the password manager should be for Windows XP (so no mac/linux password managers). I'm pretty sure it was a standalone application (not a browser extension or some type of script). Hopefully you guys can help me out, if you need more information I'll try to answer as best I can. Thanks
  6. As far as I know SLI/Crossfire setups are bad for recording (in the way of consistent frames), but seeing as you only have one GTX 780 now that shouldn't be a problem. I think what you see is the limitations of 'software' capture solutions. I haven't done too much research on this myself but some games record fine (recording steady 60 fps) and some have horrible performance drops, this must be engine / DirectX limitations (I've also noticed better results when turning vsync off). The microstutter what you see is that some frames are getting dropped / skipped when recording. I've used Fraps in the past but this had too much of a performance drop on most games (and other limitations). I now use the MSI Afterburner recording feature which I'm pretty satisfied with for the occasional recording I do. An option you have is to wait (expected to be available later this summer) and hope the ShadowPlay feature of your GTX 780 (realtime hardware based encoding on your gpu) will satisfy your needs.
  7. I have always used RivaTuner since ancient times for all my overclocking/monitoring needs, but since a couple of years that's not being worked on anymore, so I switched to Afterburner. It comes with the ability to record games, make screenshots, add an overlay which you can customize to monitor stuff you like, it has some ini tweaks for unofficial over voltage & extreme oc support as well. On the other hand I've never really tried the others, so I'm kinda biased :D For stability testing I use Unigine (Heaven and Valley) / 3dMark, I've had issues with kombustor (no native SLI support and has my fermi gpu throttles) same with furmark, plus that those burn-in type applications aren't 'real world' usage scenarios.
  8. I remember JJ Guerrero from ASUS saying it won't work with previous chipsets because of new hardware on the current Z87 (and probably other variants like H87 of the for the haswell chip) boards It's somewhere in one these videos http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Motherboards/Video-Perspective-ASUS-Z87-Motherboards-Haswell-Overclocking-Demos :P
  9. i7-2600k at 4.7GHz (~1.32v) hottest core = 73°C and coolest core = 65°C during Prime95 Blend (22°C room temp) cooled by Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B HT (hyper threading) is enabled
  10. this is how i've setup mine I'm wondering if changing the direction of my push/pull CPU fans would help my airflow inside my case
  11. I have the same opinion of aircooling, bottom/front for cool air blowing into the case, and back/top for pulling air out of the case. I have this setup (i'll draw a picture later, edit: see here) in my Antec P280 as well. But there's one thing, when I remove the side panel of my case my temps drop like 5 degrees, not sure if this is a sign of bad airflow inside my case :) Also after reading this post on the corsair forums about air flow it becomes quite hard to apply logic :D
