So for those of you who don't know, when Demonoid was around before, it was one of if not the most popular BitTorrent tracker, and in general it was a popular website for people to go on to actually download torrents. Well now, Demonoid is 100% back online, tracker, website, and all. I won't link to the website, but if you knew about Demonoid before this, you know where to go.

 

Cool, but what happens when you listening to music munching on a baconator?

This post is in direct response to @LinusTech's & @Slick's last WAN show, in which Linus sited the long old rumor that GK110 was supposed to be used in what would have been the GTX 680.
This rumor is completely false for several reasons.

GK110 was never meant to be a consumer product, it was engineered to be a compute accelerator from the beginning, this is evidenced by numerous architectural differences between it & all the other consumer Kepler GPUs (GK104, GK106 & GK107).

With GK110, the 48KB texture cache is unlocked for compute workloads. In compute the texture cache becomes a read-only cache, specializing in unaligned memory access workloads.
Furthermore GK110 has error detection capabilities that would make it safer for workloads that rely on ECC. The register per thread is also doubled with 255 registers per thread.


Another important point is that GK110 not only was never meant to compete with AMD's Radeon consumer product lineup in 2012 , but it actually couldn't... the yields were so low it was impossible.

Josh Walrath from PCPer.com even calculated the yields for the GK110.
Over 50% of GK110 chips on a 300mm wafer would come out fully defective & unsalvageable & of those 50% working units, only a few would come out fully working with all SMX units active, the rest would remain defective & a number of SMX units on those chips would have to be disabled for the chip to work.
 
Not only were the yields on GK110 a nightmare, but every single working GK110 chip was reserved to be used in the Titan super-computer, this alone added months and months of delay for GK110 to be even considered commercially viable to produce & use in a consumer product.

The first GK110 based consumer product launched was the GTX Titan, launched in Febuary of 2013, that's 13 months after AMD had released the 7970, so even IF Nvidia had intended to use GK110 for the GTX680 it would have come out more than a year late after the competition, which is commercial suicide.

Thoughts on this?

I am super genius

This has been in place for a while.  Where have you been? :lol:
 
Actually, YouTube has stopped doing this for me as of a few days ago.  I don't know why.

That's not what happens. They do that when process yields chips with one or two cores non functioning within their spec. Maybe this means the core does not work at all or it may mean it needs to much voltage or produces too much heat.
 
For the record, this happened very often on the Phenom II X2 and X3 chips. Bios settings could unlock the "locked" cores on some cpus that AMD deemed non-functioning. Also happened on the reference Radeon 6950 card where you could install 6970 BIOS and have access to extra steam processors.

I have the MX279H. I am very pleased with it but I did pay $50 extra fro it compared to other 27" ips panels for the looks but also for the stand. I cant stand it when the monitor shakes as I type. It happens with this one too but not too much. I went to frys and best buy to check out their displays that had the sturdiest stand and this one was the winner. I can recommend it

From what I have experienced is that there is no direct correlation between batch numbers and performance, especially with the Ivy Bridge CPUs which do not really have the best TIM between the die and IHS. 
I was doing builds for two of my friends both with i5 3570K CPUs. I made sure to get CPUs with the closest batch numbers, I don't remember the exact numbers, but they were both pretty much the same. 
I build up both rigs, which had the exact same components(except for the case and GPUs) and proceeded to overclock both CPUs to 4.2Ghz.
 
From what I had read online I was expecting these CPUs to be very similar, but no, one required quiet a bit more voltage than the other to overclock and got quiet a bit hotter. I tried this again and again and got the same result over and over. Since then I have not really seen batch numbers as a good way of sorting out CPUs, especially with Ivy Bridge where the TIM has a lot to do with temperatures. 
 
Even with steppings, I have seen overclocks/voltage vary quiet a bit. I remember reading that someone with a stepping 9 chip got to 7Ghz with LN2, but I saw another guy with stepping 9 was getting crazy high temps when mildly overclocked, even though he was using liquid cooling.
 
Honestly, in my opinion the best way to bin CPUs is to actually get a few and test them out yourself. Which is not really that viable for most people due to the cost involved, but it might be worth the cost if you intend to be breaking world records.
And if you are planning on pushing the CPU to the limit, deliding does lower temperatures by quiet a bit(Intel does NOT warranty deliding, you can easily kill your CPU by deliding, only do it if you accept the fact that if anything goes wrong your CPU ill die.)
 
Well that is my opinion on the topic, I now some of you may disagree with this, but this is just from my own experiences.
If you are going to do any overclocking, get the Intel Performance Tuning Protection Plan, only $20 for overclocking warranty, great deal if you ask me!
Good luck!

before you unount your cooler make sure it is mounted properly. If you look in corsair link, there is a temperature for the h100i temp and cpu temp. When under load, your h100i temp should be rising with your cpu temp, for mine, when i play bf3, cpu is at about 60 and coolant at 50. if there is a big difference between the cpu and h100i temp then that means you are not making good contact with the cpu and the cooler should be remounted.
 
i am running stock 3770k with about ~75 F room temp on the quest preset for the fans however i am using the SP120 performance edition fans

The H100i uses voltage control to adjust the fan speeds.
 
Fans will only run as fast as they are rated for but can go slower. SP120 QE fans will never run as fast as the SP120 PE ones. SP120 PE fans can run as slow as SP120 QE ones.
 
Voltage Control (3-pin) works by changing the voltage the fan receives to control it's speed. Ex: Using 12v makes the fan run at its max rpm but if you use 7v, it'll only run at just over half its max.
PWM (4-pin) works by sending 12v to the fan but rather than a constant stream of power they send it in bursts. The frequency of the bursts determines the rpm of the fan.
