    It's possible.

    Also, when you set CPU voltage to "Normal" at what voltage is the setting showing once set that way without the voltage offset?

    What it's manually set for or just where it is with "Normal" related to CPU voltage will determine what actual voltage is going to the chip when offset is applied because that actual voltage value to the chip "Per offset" is based on this base value.

    If you have CPU voltage set for 1.200v's manually and then you apply your offset value of -0.096v's, you get 1.104v's to the chip and that's what you'll get when all that is applied and used.
    Of course it won't be "Spot on" that value but it will be very close.
    If you set CPU voltage manually to, for example 1.25v's and apply the same offset value (-0.096), you get 1.154v's instead. If changing your offset value to, let's say -0.035v's with 1.25v's set manually as CPU voltage, you'd get 1.215v's from that. With 1.20v's set manually with that amount of offset (-0.035v's) you'd get 1.165v's.

    BTW the same offset effect is seen if using a + offset value,  It works in the same way to the same extent determined by the base voltage value set for the chip.

    Once more thing - Setting CPU voltage (Base value) manually basically eliminates the need for using offset anyway and you can just set it manually, see what happens and then forget it once you're happy with it.

    So yeah, it's possible with the values you're using for offset from the looks of it, depending on what the CPU voltage base value really is as you have it right now.

    The way I see it, if they need that much makeup they're hiding something you probrably woudn't want to see and they know it.
    So they cover it up with makeup instead.

    I know not everyone is the same because some don't need much, if any really but others are at a disadvantage that way.
    It's unfortunate but true.

    However:
    That in itself isn't the problem, it's when you see one that looks like they went bobbing for apples in a jar of Mabelline or Mary Kay AND they have the "I'm just the shit" (Bee-otch) attitude, that's when it's relevant.

    If you had a code reader/display it would probrably be showing POST code 55 which indicates a RAM problem.

    One thing it could be:
    Remove the CPU and CAREFULLY check the pins to see if one hasn't shifted to one side from being a tad loose in the socket - Note you're not looking for a bent pin but one that's actually shifted over to one side/out of place when looking for it.

    Best indicator is to look at a group of pin tips and see if any tips do not match the pattern others around it have. If you see one that's not "Right" then that's probrably it......
    And there could be more than one pin like it in the socket so you'll have to look carefully for it.
    Using a magnifying glass/visor with a light is the best way to go about finding and fixing it.

    Simple fix is to just move the pin back into alignment with the others if you find one that way and it should work BUT also remember which pin it was for future reference if you swap CPU's in the board again.

    I know that because I have one that has a loose pin that will shift to one side and cause a Code 55 RAM error. I just go into the socket, move the pin back into alignment, carefully reinstall the CPU and it's off and running again...... Until the next time it does it.

    Exactly!

    That's the jist of what I was getting at, the viscosity of what TIM is used along with other factors being the variables contributing to the extent of this effect.

    More or less.
    Thinner TIM's naturally flow better than thick ones do, so seeing more pumpout with a thinner TIM is expected. This however isn't (Purely) dependent on whether the chip is delidded or not but delidding a chip can have an effect to that end.

    I didn't post in your thread but I do believe you did see what I had posted in another thread:

    Something I've known for a long time now and it happens regardless of TIM used. The amount of time for it to fully occur can vary but eventually it does and what's left is what you've got.
    Don't forget there is another factor and that's the chip's lid and cooler/block's flatness to each other, that will also determine the amount of TIM that comes out and overall cooling efficiency too.
    If pressures are uneven across the cooler/block to the chip's lid, that will induce variance of cooling efficency (Hotspot) depending on where these components are tighter or looser to each other respectively - Plus that will induce "One-Sided" pumpout as well.

    Speaking of pumpout, that just a natural effect of repeated heating and cooling cycles of these components as the system is used (Thermal expansion/contraction) so you will see that effect happening anyway.
    I've layed that out before over at TPU and can do it again if I have to but if you think about it in the above context, the reason(s) why pumpout happens starts making sense.

    And pump out I believe is purely where temperatures fluctuate, primarily for example when high load tests or tasks are run on a specific schedule. The pumping out effect is purely from the component expanding and contracting, and also along with making the TIM less viscous, exacerbating the pump out effect.

    One of these would be perfect for home projects and useable for more involved things too.
    I have two of these setups (One in use, the other as a backup) and both have been good over the past 9 years I've had one of them to use.

    Be picky about from whom and where you get one of these, since the price range of a station vary's wildly with a setup like this.
    You don't have to get this exact model/station but something like it will be fine and be sure whatever you get has a good assortment of soldering tips, esp a chisel tip - VERY useful overall across different things you'd use it for.

    I think I read what you wrote on my question about worst TIMs or somewhere. IIRC, pump-out is worse on delidded CPUs, and more dense (less viscous?) TIMs will be less inclined to pump-out. Did I get that right?

    And there you have it. He's referring to BOTH viscosity AND the thickness of the layer of the TIM.

    Yes, this would generally be because of user error that there would be a thicker layer, however, there's also density and not all CPUs, GPUs, coolers and TIMs need the same tension. So, back to the testing for you, and make it snappy! 😉

    Beerzerker got a reaction from mouhette in Earplugs for loud music and concerts, is the price worth it? Is it a scam?   
    Regardless of the sound source, hearing damage is hearing damage and I have it - Lost about 25% of my hearing from those days.
    Thing is to protect yourself from this kind of damage because in almost every case it's permenant like mine is, which in turn does impact enjoyment of music.

    One of the things I've noticed about my damage is there are certain notes/tones I cannot hear well anymore and like an equalizer, these frequencies are "Filtered Out" because of it but in this case it's not filtering, it's simply the eardrum cannot vibrate at that frequency (Or higher) because of scarring damage which leads to this filtering effect.

    I'm into music and even have a couple guitars myself (Bass and electric guitar) so I can speak to that end, I understand wanting to hear every nuance of what's being played/listened to but at the same time preserving your hearing is priority above that.
    Better to miss a few notes here and there than to be missing them completely from now on like it is for me.

    This used to be how many games were and I have a few capable of it.
    Some older ones from about 2005 and earlier has this feature, I can name the original COD through COD2 at least and a really old one, Jane's WWII Fighters (Circa 1998) with this capability.
    Load it up, let whomever else will be in know what the IP will be for you hosting the game and go for it.

    With games around 2006 and later this began to die off because of Steam and Valve coming to be as online services, if you wanted to go online with your buds after that then it's login through either one and play while paying them to do the same thing you could have done yourself for free before.

    In the case of something that's an MMO or just a really large game period, it makes sense to have a dedicated server so you don't have to pony up for all that in terms of hardware/local storage but they swept it all under the same "Pay-Rug" you play under these days. 

    If there are any around these days still capable of it, I don't about them since I quit all that when Valve and Steam came around.

    I didn't trivialize anything, I stated the simple truth of the matter in question here BUT that also leads to what it was in the first place. It was stated as a joke and even though it's intent was for that purpose it was really something that went beyond that in itself. 

    In the end it became more than that, there is really nothing myself, you or any other can do about it once it's out there except complain if they want to - I'll say it again, "It is what it is".
    Now, exactly to what it is, is subject to opinion by anyone that saw and heard it. Some will take it as it was presented (A joke) but others won't as the subject/topic of this thread demonstrates.

    What I'm getting at is it's already understood by most, if not all it's a joke and nothing more BUT there are a huge number of folks these days too, all with different viewpoints that might be offended by a joking statement another would probrably laugh at.

    On that point:
    I'm not excusing anything on their part here because I can't do that and frankly, something in bad taste is in bad taste but I also know how it goes with different viewpoints all based on the individual in question, depending on who it is.

    I do understand there are times some reasonable tact is required and this was one of them - Hey, it is what it is.
