everybody is in the already pinned giveaway thread so im gonna go there follow me to get your games :)

it will be more questions yes but i need more people in here lol

and im back so everybody get back in here so i can give away more games!

well right now ive got 1x bioshock infinite steam key 2x tomb raider steam key 1x crysis 3 origin key and 2x FC3 blood dragon due to a problem that the ubisoft shop keys are usa only for some reason so i guess the FC3 blood dragon is a usa only (also you cant copy and paste the code because ubi shop is stupid so you have to hand type the code.)

I have some painting and other various things to do before the house appraiser gets here so need to get to work :) but i will be back on later to give away more games i promise :)

Minjon was the first one to get it this time :) It was DDR-200 which i believe was the successor to PC-133 which was in my very first computer. :)

okay the next question for FC3 blood dragon. What was the first ddr1 speed (looking for ddr speed not MhZ)

don't worry i have more keys to give away :). the next one will be an ubi store key (not a fan but thats what it gave me) for far cry 3 blood dragon. Ill put the question out just as soon as i think of it :).

Algore is correct. BlackOutCrisis is the winner of this round. :)

All of my questions will pertain to computers in some way or another. :) The first one will be. Who attempted to gain political fame by claiming they invented the internet?

I recently bought a couple graphics cards and got the AMD never settle promo and i already own all of the games and so do all of my friends. I also do video reviews of products that i buy as a side thing. So i was hoping to use these games as a way to do a little advertising for my channel so if you could be so kind check out ThePCVikings youtube channel. Im still pretty small so subscribing would help too. Buutttt into the give away. I really liked what linus and slick did with the windows 8 give aways where they did trivia questions about computers. So the first one to answer my question correctly wins this copy of bioshock infinite.

ive done a little bit more tinkering now and even while playing crysis 3 or running msi kombustor i got temps up to 79c on crysis and 91c on kombustor. I have ran it with both the side panel on and side panel off. ive ran it with the side panels on and all of my case fans at 100%( check project viking in build logs if you want to see how i have it set up right now. I know that the problem isnt airflow theres plenty of it. ambient temperature is also not a factor as ive tested it in both 70F and 50F and the card acted the same either way.

I have the fan curve set to hit 100% at 65c and it still pushes it all the way up to 79

played some crysis 3 with it and it only got up to about 79 so thats a little better but still a little toasty for what im used to

I have an ASUS directcuII graphics card. The temps on this thing go ll the way up to 89c when i'm bitcoin mining. I never leave the bitcoin miner on for long as i'm not comfortable with the temps that high. i know that i have plenty of airflow in the case and the card i had before this (gigabyte GTX 660) would only hit temps about 68c. Why is this card getting so much hotter that the last one?
