The general picture I've drawn from checking out benchmarks is this:
Temps: stock cooler - 80 to 85 degrees under load (chance of throttling), aftermarket coolers - 65 to 75 degrees under load (usually no throttling).
Noise: stock cooler - 45 to 50 dBA, after market coolers - 35 to 40 dBA
If you're fussy about heat and noise and have a good airflow setup in your system an aftermarket cooler is the way to go. But it's not like the stock cooler can't and won't do the job it was designed to do which is keep the GPU's components cool.
How to reset: Well that depends on your modem/router... some will clear cache if left off for few minutes... some require you to go to modem settings and clear cache manually... some require you to press physical reset button on the modem... I suggest to just press reset button because it will reset regardless of modem/router (at least I haven't encountered any that wouldn't)
What is negative effect on it: Well... pressing reset button is like a factory reset on your smartphones... you will lose ALL OF YOUR SETTINGS this literally means everything... if when you bought your modem/router and you just plug it in the wall and then another end to your computer and it works... then lol no negative effects... but if you had to change settings and/or set it up... then well.... you'd have to do it again...
Also if your ISP (internet provider) made some custom settings on modem/router before they ship/sell it to you then it MIGHT also reset their settings
can I btw ask... how long have you tried to access this website and failed? because cache should be automatically cleared like once a week/month...
Modem/some of the routers have different settings you can run to connect to your ISP (internet) but the most popular ones are NATs and Bridge
Quick explanation (sry if I miss something important... other ppl can fill/correct me if they feel so)
Bridge - your modem/router acts as a bridge for your computers so your computer connects directly to your ISP (internet) and gain the public IP address (the ip addresses given to you by your ISP) Pros: in some scenarios it will be faster than NATs settings Cons: if you have limited amount of public IP address and you have a lot of computers not all of your computer will be able to access the internet... Also a firewall will be better on NATs settings
NATs - your modem/router acts as a network for your computers... so you will have internal network inside your house/office and every single computer connected to that network will be given an internal IP address (given to you by your modem/router) and they are in LAN with each other... and to access the internet your modem/router will connect to your ISP and get public address but because only your modem/router connects to your ISP you will have only 1 public IP address (every computer will have the same IP address if you go check for it in www.whatismyip.com) Pros: you can have lots and lots of computer to access the internet without worrying about limited amount of public IP addresses Cons: will be slower to bridge settings in some scenarios like -> a lot of computers is connected to the modem/router (it is slow because the modem/router will need to process all of the traffic from network to the isp (internet) and it might also be slower compared to bridge if you have super uber fast connection (over 100mb) even if you have 2 - 4 computers connected to modem/router because there is limitation on how fast the modem/router can be)
Your modem/router might cache it if you're in NATs settings... Try resetting or clearing cache from modem/router (if it's not too much of a trouble)
Other thing you could try is use a proxy (something like TOR works fine) and try to access the website, if you still see the old version of the website the problem might not be the router/modem... and if the problem lies elsewhere then well... I wish you good luck lol because I can't help
No probs, if you'd like a start menu on both along with some customizability, maybe check out Display Fusion, Slick did a video on it.
I use this software, it has some cool features that I use a lot, like the ablilty to summon all windows to one display or the other with keyboard shortcut.
Realise that it takes time to get it perfectly right, and after you THINK you're stable, ALWAYS run a stresstest for atlest 4-8 hours. The longer the better.
Add Me On Steam If You Want To Play Dayz! Im In The Uk Anyone Can Add Me But Would Like EU Severs And Dont Want People To Play With Lag, When You Add Me I Give You Skype So We Can Talk Whiles On The Other Side Of The Island
I see where you are coming from, but that isn't an option on a system they want to keep using. You can delete windows.old folders perfectly safely (or parts of them if you need to). They are just the folder where Windows moves the entire contents of the HDD when installing a new OS where one is already detected. It happened when I upgraded from Vista, after which I went through the folder and moved the files I needed to the new directories and deleted the rest
I personally have actually used and paid for display fusion, i can say with a strong level of confidence their service is great, and even if you fresh install windows, if you contact them, they will end your code so you are able to use it on your new pc without having to buy a new licence.
FPS is the worst when it comes to modern gaming, as a whole.
Yes, even worse than Farm Simulator, even worse than Angry Bird, Flappy Bird, Dick Bird and I want to lick your face Bird.
"Oh hey, we want realism in our games, cause that's cool!" Alrighty, well here's your regenerating health, HUD, little icons showing where the enemy is, the fact a leg shot doesn't stop you dead in your tracks, no recoil in most FPS titles.
"But that's too realisitc, that's not fun!"
You know what's also not fun? Dying in a matter of seconds because some guy got the jump on you.
In gaming, removing the player's ability to act should only come as apart of narrative or as punishment to the player. This is one of the major thing that gets me so frustrated with modern titles because in the lapse of difficulty, this is what we get in turn. Sure, sometimes there's an exit you forgot to cover, or you took too long running between buildings, whatever, but when there's five seperate entry points into a position that only you are occupying, you're fucked.
Of course, you can say that in that situation, the game is designed for you not to be alone, well, that'd be good if it wasn't for the fact that everyone's fucking got solo mentality.
When I first picked up Battlefield 4, I went medic, not because it was default but because whilst I was learning, it still allowed me an avenue to be useful to my team. I see so many people just running around aimlessly and without bearing that it's saddening. People for the most part, namely in FPS titles, have no sense of team-play, they may as well be playing with a bunch of NPCs. Oh wait, Titanfall has that covered? Oh joy, one step closer to having the last inch of the bat slowly inserted deeper into my rectum.
Now that gaming is slightly more acceptable in our modern age, with us becoming more tolerable of all different aspects of life, as people, we're seeing a shift in gaming. Different mentalities, different development methods, design choices, all these things are changing and I fear it's not really in a positive light, at least for those who gaming is actually a major hobby or past time and take it seriously.
In case you haven't noticed, the recent Battlefield 4 DLC Naval Strike just came out, four new maps which feel incredibly the same despite only a few differences between them, a new mode which essentially is conquest and rush slapped into one and new guns which for some reason came out before the patch went live so subconsciously my mind doesn't even consider it apart of the DLC. Now, people paid for this, hell, I paid for this, I stupidly paid for premium and that's what constituted DLC for Battlefield 4, a bundle which should have been free.
"But Nickt, but Nickt, extra development time means they have to charge to pay developers!"
Well, true, but let's put it this way.
Yesterday I walked into a video game store, well, I actually didn't because who the hell goes outside anymore, but just imagine with me for the sake of our love.
I walk up to a rack of games and notice two games priced exactly the same, being fresh releases on the latest console.
Game A was made in 1 year.
Game B was made in 2 years.
Now, shouldn't game B cost more? It seems logical, as it had a longer development time, meaning more wages, etc.
But it doesn't, which is something that still irks me, how we pay the same price, as if it's independent of what's actually within the game.
That's like going into a Wedding Cake shop, seeing one of their main offerings and then have it being the same price as a cake they made using a pre-boxed kit from a supermarket.
But anyway, the point I wanted to focus on was the fact that if Game A released paid DLC and continued after-release development, then people expect us to pay more, but why?
If Game A spends a year developing DLC, then their development time matches Game B, but to buy it all, I have to effectively double my purchase, which I did due to Battlefield 4 and their premium service.
This never used to be a thing.
SWTOR is a major offender of this, it doesn't have DLC but is has a cash shop, which it calls the 'Cartel Market'. The first problem I had with this, is it uses a store currency, that's one of the major things you need to keep an eye on, whenever there's money involved, see if you buy the currency, it's psychological. If I pay $40 for an amount of 'cartel coins', and I go to the store, I'm seeing things in cost of those coins, it's a step that subconsciously removes the thinking that there was a sum of money involved. If you walk into a store, with your money cold dead in your hand, you're going to be a lot more tight fisted with it in nature, because you know the value of that money. However, with an in-game currency, there's a disconnect, it allows the developer to pull bullshit on you.
Case in point? Christmas Mount, SWTOR.
This thing was 20 bucks, now of course, what it actually was, was 2000 cartel coins, which with conversions is $20 jesus christ you get the picture.
Hey, do you actually want to see the mount?
Sure!
Boom, what a piece of ugly shit. The best part? It's not even a new model, it's literally a re-used model with a new skin, some added tinsel and a muffler that produces snow or some stupid shit.
The audacity Bioware and EA had to release this, even if only collectors bought it, I don't care, the absolute nerve they had to put this in the cash shop, bloody hell.
There was no way to obtain this in game, that I can remember, it was cash shop or nothing.
Now, I'm not a betting man, but when something is only obtainable in the cash shop, then that's fucking bullshit.
DLC? Hell, I've seen games sell you things like weapon packs, skins, stupid shit, shit that was in the game that you used to have to unlock, it was a reward, something you got for doing something cool or interesting. Got 10 headshots in a row? Sweet, you now unlocked a new gun, or a new camo. Nope, nowadays everything's behind a paywall and people are surprisingly ok with that. We put up with so much shit from developers and publishers, including but not exclusively, paid-DLC, DRM, always online, bugs, crashes, server issues.
Is anyone else also uncomfortable with the fact that despite a game not working to 100%, you're still getting sold extra things that add on to the game?
Does anyone remember War Z? A game which despite being absolutely nigh on unplayable still had a perfectly functioning cash shop.
Of course, everyone called bullshit on that game, but that's one incident, yet it happens so much more frequently that it's becoming increasingly ridiculous just how much developers are getting away with things.
I personally feel that this is because of the modern mentality within video gaming, the accessibility, the need to make things more friendly and casually approachable, dumbing things down and spreading to a wider audience.
The part that upsets me the most about that concept though? Is the fact it means we are worthless, developers and publishers are looking at you dead in the face and are saying you are not enough.
I just finished playing about two hours of the new BF4 DLC, Naval Strike, overall I've put about 500 hours into the game and I have to say, the gaming community is so much more horrible than I remember.
To think that I was proud to call myself a 'gamer' at any point in my life is embarrassing in retrospect, to be a part of a community that will down right harass you because you killed them.
Also, what is it with people and sniping? Ever since CoD it's the whole, "oh bro, 360 no scope get on it faggot lol 240 blaziken" deal. Personally? I'm a 'camper', and that gets me so much hate whenever I decide to snipe. I hate 'aggressive snipers' with a passion because it's just so ruining of the concept of what sniping is. Now, I'll be sniping whilst 'camping' on the edge of the map, next thing I know, three other guys will show up and join me sniping. This is just ridiculous and retarded. What is it with the modern age and with people being incapable of processing coherent thoughts and logic? Hm, maybe this sniper here has it covered from this angle, perhaps I should move to a different location so we have more sniping coverage of the map? Nope, they'll stand there, standing, mind you, straight pull, no bipod, in other words, these people came into the fray expecting NOT to kill anyone in a single shot. In that round, in all the time I was sniping, I fired three shots, two head shots and one miss was due to me panicking in close quarters trying to no scope cause I was using a 40x scope.
(That reminds me, why the fuck is that in the game? Not to say it's bad, I love it and I'll use it until I stop playing, but hell, if you ever look through one of those things, the game takes a sudden turn to the ugly.)
The reason I had that problem with close quarters? It's cause those people that joined me on that escarpment were just continuously firing shots. Now, if as a sniper, it takes you more than two shots to kill someone, then at least give up on that one individual and fucking move. Don't spawn on a sniper then immediately start shooting, that's just giving away his position, next thing I know, boom, helicopter to the face. So I decided, to hell with it, and I sniped from the carrier instead, for the most part, can barely see shit but at least no one is going to hassle me from there. So I look through my scope and see a guy on the roof, about 570 meters away, no big deal, I make the shot, headshot, nice. Then one of his team mates gets on the roof immediately after, not to revive or anything, to literally do what his team mate was just doing. (Which was using an assault rifle against an attack boat...)
I sniped him as well, headshot. Then a third team mate came up, at this point I was literally swearing incompetence and was surprised when he actually revived the other two, so I then killed all three of them.
They then took to chat to harass me. Saying I was a noob, complaining how I was camping and all of that ass-hattery, now, because I'm an idiot. The thing is, why didn't they get off the roof? The second and third guy saw a dead team mate, that's sign that something is capable of killing you if you stand in that vicinity. So what do they do? Exactly that, even after the first two were revived, they just stayed prone, didn't even try to get off the roof where they definitely knew there was a sniper capable of taking them out. Then, whilst they continued to harass me, one of them got in a helicopter and flew all the way to exactly where I was and road-killed me.
It's safe to say that's when I rage-quitted.
Maybe it's just me, maybe I just have a nostalgic view of things, but for the life of me, gaming for me was never this hostile, and for the most part, it's in FPS games that I see it. It's become part of the genre now, to expect people to be raging, swearing, talking stupid shit, it's essentially now part of the charm for some people. They were saying things like I was a noob, and that really shocked me, I made a headshot at 570 meters, how is that in any way a noob? But no, I decided to take the bait, and in response to me asking how I was a noob, apparently it was due to the rifle I was using? Apparently there are OP weapons?
Well, the rifle I was using SRR-61, the reason I chose it was muzzle velocity, and even still I'm not comfortable taking moving shots, but at 500 meters, it becomes a little easier to take a shot and not have to sit there and watch as the person moves after you take the shot despite sitting there for almost a minute beforehand. So, what these three guys would have me do, is willingly take a weaker, less capable rifle because that would mean I'm not a noob.
Now, I ask you, which is better: A good player with a good weapon, or a good player with a shit weapon? Yeah, I know a lot of people depend on the weapons, I'm not a great player, I personally feel that I'm 'bout average so why shouldn't I use a weapon that balances it out a little bit?
I wouldn't have minded if this egocentricity stayed within the FPS community, I couldn't have cared less, but the fact is it's seeped into gaming as a whole, whenever there's competition between players.
"Oh you killed me, that sword you're using is OP, use a shittier sword you fucking noob piss bucket!"
"But, you're using the same sword..?"
"Er but I'm not a noob you faggot lolol hail the magic conch shell WOLOLOLO"
Oh, right, I suppose afterall, gaming is not that bad, is it? I mean, we have a few hidden gems here and there that make it all worthwhile.
NO! Fucking NO!
Good games should not be the minority, I shouldn't have to spend hours researching games just to find a good one that is worth the money, then find it was made a decade ago.
We put up with all these low points and it's made the gaming industry a joke.
Game of the year? Oh yeah, it's a game that should seriously be the standard for all games, what the hell happened?
What happened to all the people who made games because they themselves were gamers?
I know gaming is diverse, I know a single game isn't going to please everyone but when should that be used as an argument against criticism, against when a game is destroying the fundamentals of an enjoyable experience?
Also, why the hell are consoles still a thing?
The modern home personal computer has become so much more affordable, versatile and useful that it's almost absurd that people are still against using a PC for gaming.
"Er, but consoles are more powerful, man."
Yes, but welcome to the modular design of computers, where you can buy one that can play games today on average, then in five years, you won't have to go out and buy an entirely new computer, just a new part, unlike console.
"Er, but the screen is bigger on console."
No, you can plug any size screen into a computer, the reason why you see less of big screens is because of things that I don't fully understand and can't be assed researching to make this sentence actually have any purpose. So no, just no.
"Er, but I like using the controller, keyboard is too hard for my puny brain." (anyone else think puny is a really weird word? Just me? Ok...)
Well, my good puny brained sir, you can use a controller on PC too.
"Er, but consoles have exclusive games that aren't on PC"
Yes, true, completely true, which is actually a very, very pathetic fact.
Do you know what games are developed on? A computer.
Do you know what consoles actually are? A computer.
Well, if a game that runs on console was made on a computer and could run on a computer, and actually perform better, then why doesn't it?
Imagine if there was no more consoles, fuck the console war, there is absolutely no reason consoles should still be around, ever.
Instead of consoles we would have services like Steam, maybe one by Nintendo, Sony, where you can go and buy games published by them, etc.
All in all, I just rage-quitted cause a guy called me a camping faggot for sniping him and his two retarded mates so I decided to rant.
I'm out, I haven't slept in two days and I really, really need to have a wank.
i do not think you can but i am not that familiar with that many ITX cases and i do not know if you can or not you would have to ask someone else about that
