  1. Slow motion. A lot of fail videos lately using slow mo, and watching someone fail in slow mo is just more entertaining.
  2. If I won I would make a new main rig and use the one I'm using now as a render slave for my 3d work. Can never get enough jiggahertz!
  3. To me they look the same, would not be surprised if they are all made by the same company and the only difference is the logo.
  4. Slick mentioned that you can only mind the M-keys to existing keys on the controller, but does that include thumbstick push? Also does anyone know if you can map it to a thumbstick direction, in the test mode you can test the x y coordinate of the thumbstick, but can you bind it to say x=50 and y=0 or x=-100, y=0 or x=-50, y=100, just to give some examples. I'm just a little curious, I was thinking of buying a controller for my brother, he a little problem with one of his thumbs, so lowering the usage of it when it's not needed would be a bonus. Thanks for any help you can give me.
  5. My favorite would be the option to add a wireless charging plate, I love wireless charging on my phone (Lumia 920). Hopefully more and more phonemakers add the option to help wireless charging become a norm.
  6. Sorry for the late reply, I haven't had the time to browse forums lately. I finished the build some time ago link: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/68745-uni-render-box-sugo-sg09/ If you look through my pictures you can see I made some vent holes at the front so that it can exhaust some of the air out the front and not recycle too much of the hot air. When I'm running it on full I usually put the top fan on High so that the GPU gets more air. When on max load (folding or rendering) it will be at around 90 degrees, which to me is perfectly acceptable, if I turn the top fan to high it will lower it a few degrees.
  7. Folding on full at the moment. On the last one I did have it on medium for some time when I had to use the PC. Usually not doing anything other then browsing the internet and watching movies while I'm Folding
  8. Wondering if I'm doing something wrong. The first 4-5 WU I got gave about 14k credit and took about 10-15h each on my CPU. The last WU I finished took about 1.5 days and gavee me 2475 credit. The WU I'm on now has taken 14h to get to 45% and gives estimated 7647 credits. It's been Folding without pause. Why do I get so little credit on Work Units that take about twice the time as my previous once? Just wondering if this is normal, or if I have screwed something up. Thanks for the help -Tore
  9. Is this a bad idea? Would the WU be damaged if my computer crashed due to a unstable overclock? What I want to do is dial in my OC then run OCCT for about 1 hour, if it's stable with OCCT then run Folding for about 48h to test the long term stability. So would folding work for stability testing, or does it not stress the CPU enough?
  10. Did you have to do any modifications to fit the H80 that way? When I did it with the H80i I had to use a file to get the holes a little further down to be able to fit it.
  11. Didn't even consider that. Thank you for the tips, i'll try and see if I can get it to work. -Tore
  12. So I just started folding yesterday. I have a powerful machine and I wanted to use it for something more then just schoolwork, gaming, and the internet. Currently I have a GTX 690 and a 3930k. When my PC goes idle and my GPU starts folding it is running at about 99% usage, that puts the cores at 88C and 91C and the fan at about 80%. I'm fine with the temps and I'm fine with the high fan speed when I'm not at home, but it's way to loud when I'm trying to sleep. I put the CPU usage in the config down to 50%, so when I put it on "light" the CPU is running about 45-55% and the fans are nice and quiet. The problem is at "light", when my system goes idle, my GPU goes up to 99% usage again. So is there any way to put my GPU usage at about 50% when it's in "light" folding power? That way I could have CPU and GPU folding at about 50% power while sleeping without it causing me to wake up/prevent me from falling asleep. And then I could put it to 100% while I'm at school or out doing something. Also can I use the GPU to fold while I'm using the PC without setting the Folding Power to full? I would like to try and fold while I'm doing my 3ds Max work. 3ds Max does not use close to 100% GPU power while I'm working with it, so I would like to utilize my GPU better when I'm using my PC. If this is explained somewhere please just send me in the right direction. I tried Google, but I didn't really find the answers I was looking for. Thanks for any help. -Tore
  13. Yes, but you wouldn't want to do that with two GTX 690s, there would probably be way too much recirculating exhaust from the cards. If you don't have a window, you could do it with two rear exhaust style cards like Linus did in his build guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSOxvwbke9w. He used two 680s, so you could do it with two Titans. Without a window you might be able to do two 690s, but then you would need to put on the 120mm side panel fan that could push the exhaust from the card out the ventilation hole on the other side panel, and you would probably need one 92mm/80mm to give the top card air. So it could very well work, but I wouldn't try it. Edit: I can do it if I want, but I can't with two 690s because I can't fit fans on the side now that I have a window.
  14. Sorry about the half finished post. Done now.
