Not a purchase..
 
Finally been seen fit to leave Sheltered Accommodation behind me and I'm renting myself a little 1 bedroom apartment  🙂 
 
 
 
Also Also...there's a cupboard in it bigger than my self storage room so i can save myself £75 a month by giving that up 😄 
 
 
Edit:
Those tiles aren't dirty it's clean to the feel the floor i think it's just paint/abrasion over the years

Unfortunately at 25Mbps there's only so much quality you can squeeze out, extra GPUs won't do you any good there. If 35Mbps is making your games fucky I would at least give ShadowPlay a shot even though it is pretty damn annoying to use sometimes.

This math aint mathin

Oh shit it's over now? Guess I can reel the Mac Mini in a little bit so it's not sitting at 75-80C with the fan rippin (still very quietly but). It would be nice to be able to use it again and not have to think about my PPD tanking since it was the only thing I had running for the entire event. 🤣

Is this bad boy retro yet?? it's 10 years old at this point...

Yeahhhhh you're not shoving a 6800XT in one of those. An RX 6500 sure, but any full-height cards are an immediate no-go unless you absolutely love janky ass workarounds. Unfortunately it's not even a great deal on a 7050, they typically go for about $200 or less on the second-hand market from what I remember.

Event badges have been sent out.
 

 
Ethan_Obi and lCronusl will need to contact me for their badges since they've changed usernames.

To be fair though, as long as nothing breaks in a new and comical way, it'll run it surprisingly well. I've got 11 on my capture box which is an OptiPlex 7020 which has a 4590, and it runs super well. Here before long I'll probably clean install my "totally legal torrent ripping box" which is a Precision 3420/i5 6500 to it as well.

Mine is actually best right around the 1900-1950 mark thanks to an undervolt, which is actually the same general range as stock. If I drag it down to "base" it does technically consume like 100-120w instead of 160-180 however it is quiiiiite a bit slower.
 
Most indeedily, and a lot of people get the two mixed up which only adds to the confusion.

The hyper-simplified way to think of GPU boost is to think of it as automatic overclocking since that's really all it is. The true base clock on my RTX 2080 (at least per spec) is 1515MHz, yet in-game I don't think I've ever seen it below 1900 unless I have my "holy fuck it is hot as BALLS in here" power limit turned on... Where it actually sits about where base clock is.

Nice! Yeah if you were just trying to convert an existing install and not nuke it my route would have very much made you upset lol

Pointless. There is no discussion path here. 

I dont know if this counts, but it was my first build about 10-11 years ago. Still runs and works but outdated, I just finished my new build this month.

Assuming it didn't have BitLocker enabled it could technically work, but I'm sure Windows would descend into madness and kill itself, not to mention that there are plenty of opportunities for poor performance and weird fuckups here and there because of going from laptop hardware to hardware that is completely different.

Damn that sucks then. Hopefully OP can figure out where the hell MSI tucked the setting they need, I looked through the manual and saw nothing useful other than what boils down to the default being PWM control... which at least implies DC control is an option somewhere.

Not exactly how Afterburner works there bud.
 
OP, in theory you should have an option somewhere in your fan settings of the BIOS to change it from PWM to voltage control mode. I'm not entirely sure where since I can't find a damn thing about it anywhere and I don't have an MSI board myself to look at, but it SHOULD be there somewhere. If you simply cannot find it at all, you could also see if FanControl will do you any good.

Considering the fact that you're sucking down power roughly equivalent to a small apartment complex, that seems pretty stinkin' good. Certainly better than my setup though I also definitely have my fan/pump curve set up far more conservatively than you do.

Oh yeah bud yours has probably been throttling at 100C the entire time lol
