Sammiches cook thoroughly in under 5 seconds.

Dries your cat really fast, too.

 

[UltraTaco]

You do realize, Sir, that Lochekey will have something to say about it...

 

[Alaric]

I didn't dry his cat.....

 

[UltraTaco]

R-r-right...


...neighbor's?

 

[Alaric]

My neighborhood has a 24 hour taco stand I refer to as El Gato Tacos, but I make no inferences or denials. I am the Switzerland of dry cats and cheap tacos. If they had Ultra Tacos it would be a different story, but it's a low rent taco stand.

 

[UltraTaco]

You're not making a lot of sense, but okay.




So...how's that motherboard audio?

 

[Alaric]

Actually quite good. It will probably be a moot point after the first of the new year, though. I think I'm going to finally bite the bullet and get some new Schiit.

 

[UltraTaco]

Cool! Meanwhile I'm cooking some catburgers, naturally flavored. Grab your rgb toes and head over! I got pepsi!

 

[Alaric]

I just dry 'em off. What El Gato Tacos does after that is on them. LOL

 

[Alaric]

Back OT (kinda) Handbrake is maxing out at 90C on Core #1. Since that's the heaviest load I'll ever put on the rig, I'll ask for input on OC. Should I bump voltage (still within the chip's specs) and see if I can get 4.8 GHz? Yes, I know, "Will 100 MHz really matter?". Well, yeah! 4.8>4.7!

edit: temp update

 

[UltraTaco]

If you have the need for speed, sure as diddly dial in those extra 100mhz!
Will you feel it? Of course you will! That sense of accomplishment will give you pleasure browsing on the internet, knowing you're getting overclockers.com displayed 0.00001 seconds faster!

 

[Alaric]

Nah, it's putting 4800 MHz in my sig instead of 4700 MHz.

 

[UltraTaco]

Even better! Sir, I would shoot for 5ghz club then! I was told under 1.6v is okay on water coolingyou got plenty of headroom!

 

[EarthDog]

1.6V is not remotely ok for ambient cooling and 24/7 operation.

 

[Alaric]

1.6V is not remotely ok for ambient cooling and 24/7 operation.

1.6 vcore??? Who said anything about 1.6 vcore??? I'm talking 1.520v (which will measure short of that. I think you hit the wrong thread, there buddy. 1.6 would let ALL the magic smoke out! LOL
