I guess xfx calls mine the core edition or something. Anyway, got it for much cheaper than the other options (was about $300 about a year ago), and can't complain much about it. Can't wait to install my aftermarket cooler though.

If you can find them I"d recommend AKG Y45bt. Got mine on a trip to France for about 80 EUR. They sound great for the price and are quite portable.

"Silent" Yeah right XFX. Hahahha Thanks a lot @DXMember for the clear response.

They say during the video "You should change to LN2 mode even if only using air cooling". That's what made me a little confuse. How do I activate that?

So, i was watching this video And they mention a "LN2 mode" that allows better control over your clock speeds. Can anyone tell me what's that? Google only show me people cooling the gpu with liquid nitrogen (ln2 ). Also, if you could point me to any guide on the subject I'd be very thankfull. Btw, i have a XFX reference R9 290. My arctic Accelero Xtreme III custom cooler is arriving tomorrow to make it finally quiet

Get the Superlux HD681. They are literally indestructible and have a pretty impressive sound quality. Plus they are quite cheap.

I'm speechless OP. Good fucking job man

The evidence points to a hardware fault then. Try to test your GPU in a friend`s PC, and see if it still happens.

Exactly what I've done. Can't stand this reference shit anymore. Hahaha

Holy shit. Loved it OP. Damn fine job you've got there.

Read this kind of thing makes me so sad when my reference R9 290 hits 95C on stock speeds (and throttles down after a while).

Your cpu max operating temperature is 64 Celsius. That's why it's throttling. You MUST get better cooling if you don't want it to happen. There is no other option

I've changed my channels to 1, 7 and 13 (yes, its legal here) now as can be seen on the attached image. I saw a little improvement on speeds, got an average of 1,2 MB/s, but it still is much lower than expected. Edit: This screenshot was taken from the living room on the lower floor. That's why you can't see the other garbage networks.The test transfer now was done with the laptop connected to #1 wireless and the pc was still cabled to #2 router upstairs

They are connected all via lan ports. The #2 router is the main one, it receives the modem connection trough wan port, and sends the dhcp packets to all the devices on the network. The other two are connected trough the lan ports and are there just to create the wireless networks spread trough the house. Router #2 and fiber modem are on my bedroom upstairs, #1 covers the bottom floor (living room and others) and #3 covers the external area of the house. Considering I'm the master of MSpaint, I've designed it to ilustrate better

Even then I'd be able to get around 5 MB/s transfers instead of 700 KB/s wouldn't I?

Windows device manager gave me PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_1483103C&REV_01 as the hardware ID, google tells me it's Broadcom 4313GN 802.11b/g/n, but I can't seem to find what's the max speed it can connect to. I've setup the standard sharing from Windows on the laptop disk, and mapped it as a network drive using the network search feature on my pc. Thing is that here on Brazil that kind of hardware is really expensive. I've paid around $100 on each of my TP link TL-WR1043ND

I`ve attached a screenshot of wifianalyzer from my phone. The currently connected network on the notebook is Biguas16 #2. Biguas 16 #1 and #3 are mine as well, and I`ve manually set the channels. I`ve opted to overlap the other networks on #2 because is where the devices will be closer to the router (my bedroom). Could you clarify your point? I think i got my explanation a bit confusing on my first post. The file transfer was between two pcs over my local network. What`s bothering me isn`t the internet download speeds (I get full 2.5MB/s on my 20Mbit/s internet plan, which, as you said, is about right), but the fact that a local file transfer is much slower than what both of the computers are capable of achieving. About your questions, i don`t actually have another cable to test it out (don`t judge me for that. hahaha), and the adapter is the stock Broadcomm a/b/g/n that came on the notebook.

I agree with that, but the thing is, if you're gonna be physically close to the sub, you will be able to hear a lot of the air moving trough the port. That's why i said the sealed box would give you a better overall quality than the ported box. I'm not sure if it would apply to your speaker, but a sealed enclosure also "reset" the cone position faster than a ported one. This gives you a tighter and faster response to the sub, allowing it to reproduce sounds more accurately. In the end it comes to personal preference tough. I'd consider having a less effective response to sub-30hz (which could be "fixed" trough EQ) in trade of a cleaner faster response.

I think you should be better with a sealed box instead of a ported one, as it will produce a cleaner "tighter" sound on your room. Ported are for open (or obstructed) places, where power / range > quality.

Wht? I tough there would be some kind of fins inside the cooling block.

Also did some research, and it seems the i7 series have a generally bad thermal interface inside the chip. Some people even goes as far as opening it up and replacing the whole thing.

I`m getting similar scenario on my air cooled 4770k (4.5ghz 1.3v) As soon as I start the stress test, it jumps to 80 - 90 C, and imediatelly as i stop the test, it goes back to 50C

GTA Vice City on PS2 was pretty much perfect for me back then. I still can`t think of me having a better time than that.

But doesn`t the game have to support Vulkan for it actually be benefical? I had no idea some older games already supported it.
