  1. Use a program like msi afterburner to monitor you temps, clocks and usage.
  2. Speaking of the waiting list to get care through our NHS, a lot of procedures are being delayed at the moment and are taking 9-18 months for people to be seen. Obviously an issue. However for our care that was the good times, now trans people are waiting 36-60 months to be seen for the first time. A lot of people have been saying "oh the NHS is struggling for everyone" but their bad times were our good times. In the mean time I am paying out of pocket for care I have a legal right to.
  3. I came out as trans last year. Since then I have moved from self medication to under private care and I'm on the waiting list. I've also lost 25kg of weight and started to not hate the way I look. I've volunteered for a regional pride group and started a meetup in town and have a new group of friends. I have legally changed my name, got my pronouns in my work signature and voice trained myself. It has been a busy 10 months! I could not have done all this without the love and support of my wife and family along with work being decent about it.
  4. IT support and a colleague has a backpack and loves it.
  5. These are the two shunt resistors I used liquid metal on to give my 3070 mobile a little more oomph. It stays around 1900-2000mhz core clocks after. Got these pics after a bios flash gone wrong (given wrong file) and I had to do a total year down to get to it
  6. Must have been shared on some trolls nest of a group or two. I thought a small video on a personal channel would be OK. It did not take me long to realise how wrong I was and stop. Luckily for me in real life in the UK most people are either supportive or indifferent. I went to a car meet today (sat in a ferrari roma) where I talked about cars and with one lady about skirts and tights as well as cars lol. The difference for me is so much confidence and some care in my appearance. I got the drive to loose weight for myself and I'm down 54 pounds and in close to the best shape of my life.
  7. I came out last year as trans and I hope she gets the same benefits of greater understanding and self belief that I did from it. My workplace and family have been supportive. Reaching out to any local groups is always my advice.
  8. I started on 1080 SLI and am now running a shunt modded 3070 mobile at a 180w power limit. I've added a straight adaptor to the pump for the small tubing size. Tried it in the other spot but the threads of the fitting were too long for the 90 degree adaptor.
  9. No, the 20xx and 30xx series cards using different core mounting points making old heatsinks incompatible. With a new heatsink as well maybe.
  10. But that's the point, if you tweak it the power consumption of the sweet spot of those chips can be way better than a tweaked normal one. Suddenly you can fit it in because you are drawing 30w less.
  11. My laptop went from the 6600k to finally my 9900ks and the pretty heavily binned parts are great for getting some efficiency from the Intel chips. Mine is running at 4.7GHz with a very healthy undervolt which keeps it under control. You use to maybe consider silicon lottery chips but they were WAY more expensive especially considering what the average S series is like compared to the average k chip.
  12. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/24164600 Score: 11897 Graphics score: 12012 CPU score: 11287 9900KS @ 5Ghz 3070 Mobile @ 1862/2075 Driver: 496.49 I think that's the most the shunt mod will give me.
  13. I've found the 4/6 tubing and fittings can come off with some pulling fairly easy so is be way of travelling with them. Also I would avoid dropping down to the smaller tubing to avoid a loss in pressure.
  14. Nice thread you have, I'm a bit of an expert at the thermal pad thing, I've been doing it for years to optimise heatsinks. Took me about 20 mins! The VRMs are so critical to get just right, especially when over locking.
  15. I've got some M5 stoppers so you would quick release the connection so there is not much in the tube and then use paper towel to put the stoppers in. Once in the unit won't leak on the move. Your heatsink really does look top notch.
