  1. Ya know what I'mma do it anyway. What could go wrong my PC gets a little slippery? I think you have a little bit of a bent perception on wd40. I'm a mechanic, an electrician, a computer builder, and a little bit of carpenter in there. I've worked on hydraulics and operated large machinery all my life. I've never seen wd40 do any damage to any plastics or rubber in my entire life (I've been working on cars since the age of 3) and just to add a little salt to the wound car dealers spray wd40 on the engine bay the dashboard and wheels to make them look clean and shiny but never has it done damage as I've done it too! Now brake clean that's messed some shit up. Two days ago I used brake clean and sprayed down a keyboard that was a toilet for mice for a little while and it desimated the plastic. The keys were fused to the backplate and it was kinda sad but at the same time didn't matter as it was a cheap black widow board and mouse. Either way I think this thread needs to be ended by someone that actually tries it rather than speculates or talks out their ass. Wish me luck! Or not I don't count on it more than I count on my own intuition.... ? Edit Ok so the results are in. It worked very well for cooling but there were a few hurdles to make it viable. You have to have very good compression fittings. If they are loose fitting for the tubing it will make the tube slide off. That was the only issue I had. If you are using Hardline you should have no problems. One other thing was it looked like milk which is pretty unattractive but for science I'll live! I'll keep this thread updated
  2. Now I could see the benefits here. Built in corrosion resistance very low surface tension so bubbles and foaming won't occur the stuff is a lubricant after all it's fairly inexpensive when purchased in a gallon jug only about $20 US and it doesn't conduct til 44,000 volts. It is not a solvent (as long as you buy it in a jug) the only thing that is the unkown here is it's thermal capacity and conductivity. Which even if it is lower than water let's say it has less surface tension than water and it is less dense making it overall easier to move not only prolonging the pump but also making it move through the loop faster which in turn causes better cooling efficiency. Just spitballing because it's properties seem very tempting. And even if it did leak, evaporate, or not work well the system would be completely fine just a lil slippery or it would turn off because of temp sensors. wd_40tec16952473.pdf
  3. bump... i updated my specs and still get this problem not as severe but very noticeable in valley benchmark 1 by unigen and still noticeable in catzilla benchmark from i believe gigabyte. Please help. i filled out a tech support ticket with msi hopefully if its a lemon they will replace it for me.
  4. i actually just flashed the bios for the card and it seemed like the guy that had it before me tried to and didnt know about the dual bios switch so he sold it. it is going a lot better now in games like bf4 but it still happens in unigen valley benchmark
  5. i have an i5 now but this never happened with the pentium until just recently the psu is a cx 850m bronze the power supply is not the problem and that pentium is amazing. im thinking the mobo is shot i might just replace it sorry i have had the problem with both catalyst and crimson i was one of the few dummies that upgraded instantly to crimson but the drivers were so bad they didnt even work so i downgraded back and now im back on crimson
  6. the results on the latency test said that i have barely any latency at all like .9 micro seconds
  7. i had an oc on my previous cpu the pentium and i reset the bios to get it default and ill give you the results soon on the latency thanks for your halp
  8. windows 10 and no the audio is fine other than the fact that usually when it locks up it plays a sound clip like the last .2 seconds of audio in a loop until i turn off the pc
  9. i definitely will try that but why the lockups? im thinking im going to rma the gpu and maybe the mobo
  10. i just bought the thing and it was still happening on my previous psu. i dont think that would be the problem
  11. ok so now that you have all decided that it was my processor i went to microcenter and bought an i5 4690k and a new psu to drive it a 850w corsair. i still have frame time variance like a mofo and now my pc can entirely lock up. the lockup only happens when there is a video load meaning using gpuz or aida 64 to stress both the cpu and gpu simultaneously. the pc will just stop displaying the monitors will not have signal as if they became unplugged. i have to do a hard reset to get it going again, as in hold the power button for 5 seconds because the reset switch doesnt do anything when it locks up. the pc doesnt appear to be overheating, i have a nzxt sentry 2 fan controller and all of the temperatures read under 130 degrees fahrenheit but when it locks up only the gpu temp drops quite rapidly like down to like 70-80 f which are idle temps in my pc. the thermometers are also placed quite strategically, the cpu is like between the copper heatpipes on the bottom of the cooler and the gpu thermometer is also between the heatpipes and it gives a very accurate readout. ive reseated ram the gpu tested another gpu (a smaller r7 260x) and it still locked up but it didnt give as much frame time variance. im starting to think i have a lemon of a mobo or my gpu died but im at a loss and i really need help. thanks guise
  12. so the problem only started when i switched mobo a few weeks back. it had never done that but now on this new mobo it jutters. its not lag because i have had lag and this only happens to movement of anything non physics oriented
  13. my graphics card has been doing some mighty strange things lately.. it has been giving me great performance but it has been going slow then speeding up like im lagging but i stay at a very consistent 60 fps. help im really confused and games are unplayable with this problem. it only happens to moving objects and it isnt my processor because it happens in a gpu benchmark also my specs are: gigabyte z97 gaming 7 intel i5 4690k @ 4.3 ghz 1.265~ v msi radeon r9 290 4g gaming edition oc at 1020mhz wd blue 1tb corsair cm 850w bronze + and tons of cooling (5 120mm fans)(also never gets above 130° any other inquiries let me know watch how the character moves it is shaky and rubbery?
  14. i am trying to do the same thing and i dont know how to initialize the card. like how to make it start displaying another screen
  15. Yeah like i said im at a loss i use aida 64 to test stability and i did use the task manager then and now but there is a big difference even though this new board is like quadruple the price of the h81 m
