People have said the same "cinematic effect" about black bars and low framerates. At what point is that just an excuse because movies do it Yeah but I guess it's a bit like CRTs, film grain was a issue on film and old TVs. Maybe it appeals to that demographic.

It's always the first setting I turn off when I boot into a new game, i absolutely hate it and it makes everything look muddy. Does anyone even like this? and why? Haha.

You're right, but since I plan on building a new rig 2-3 years down the road it's not worth the investment. I'm pretty happy though, i got a stable 4.5 OC running now Thanks for the assistance by the way.

CM 212 Evo

That previous temp was at 1.150

Nevermind, i meant to say 70, which was sort of a spike temp by the way.

Actually I kinda just figured it out, watched a video or two and tinkered for a good hour. Got it running 4.4 at 1.100V max 74C, going to try and push it a bit father if possible.

How would I go about doing that? Is it something automatic while changing the clock ratio or is it something I have to do manually?

I think but mine barely boosts up to that even if my thermals are good..

Nope, it's a very slight OC. Stock is 4 GHZ.

hmm. I just worry, since the thermal paste I'm using has a 200 hour "break-in" time, that's why I'd prefer to have it correct. but it you think it's fine i'll leave it

I'm more worried about the thermal paste I used. I certainly know not to use too much, but I feel like I may have undershot. I went for more/less a grain of rice size, maybe slightly less.

Haha, i know. I meant the best OC I can get with this cooler.

I am aware about the thermal throttle temp limit, but is my temperature normal compared to what it's suppose to be? Just curious on if I applied the thermal paste properly. I am looking for the max OC i can get

Hey all! My CM 212 Evo was getting really dirty recently so I decided to clean it and reapply the thermal paste. (Artic Silver 5 TP by the way) After everthing was finished I OC'd i7 4790k to 4.2 GHZ and ran cinebench. It hit a peak temp under max load of 73c. Is this normal? I'm not certain if I may have applied the thermal paste correctly, as i've heard people getting 4.4 and even 4.6 with the same cooler and CPU.
