    Overheating damage??

    If it was that the core temps would not shift between 30 degrees and 100 degrees (and back) in 1-2 seconds (which they do, implying not much mass being heated - i.e. - thermal conductivity locally, not heat distribution more broadly). Also the HS is pretty new (and dust free - rig is only a few...

    Overheating damage??

    If it was a bad bit in the memory then surely reducing the threading load (which doesn't impact memory access patterns apart from having less of them to the same structure instances - so no change in amount used etc.) would not have stabilized things would it? I can see that it might have...

    Overheating damage??

    Correct - no. I suspect I have one core that has poor thermal contact, either due to a manufacturing issue between core and spreader, or Tim/HS contact externally. If I reduce the thread load so that only 2 cores are fully loaded at any one time I seem to be fine (with temps maxxing at 60 or...

    Overheating damage??

    I've been running utterly stable for about 5 months with a stock-clocked 4770 (Noctua DH14U in an FT02). Recently I've been running a VERY CPU-intensive process for LONG periods (overnight) and I noticed that this runs the CPU at/near its thermal limits (bouncing off Tj max at 100 degrees)...

    Silverstone FT04 reviews - what's taking so long?

    Windows 8 dies when left to idle

    Sorry. Typo. I was installing server 2008 on a VM as I wrote that last response. It's win 8 pro. Changing power settings to prevent it ever turning the display off has worked to prevent this (well, work around it anyway). I tend to turn the monitor off anyway when I'm away from the...

    Windows 8 dies when left to idle

    Not sure if this is some sort of power savings settings issue, but what I am seeing is this (new computer, Haswell 4770, stock, Windows 8, fully patched): If I leave the computer for significant periods (somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour) idling when I come back there is no video...

    FT02 vs Fractal Define R4

    I went with the FT02 and I'm glad I did - it's an awesome piece of engineering. The end result is inaudible to me over the room ambient noise (even with ceiling fan and air con off). Despite ambients in the high 30s at times in this room I have had no temperature issues at all so far. Very...

    FT02 - need check from someone who has bult in one

    My FT02 arrived yesterday (looks awesome), but it appears to be missing some parts. Firstly I was surprised to find no manual, so I downloaded the PDF from the Silverstone site (fine). However, I also seem to be missing sundry screws and connectors. The (PDF) manual refers to 'the accessory...

    FT02 vs Fractal Define R4

    I was wondering about that. HT I certainly need (but 4770 has it anyway), so really I think going Xeon basically just saves me circa $30 (relative to a 4770) for (more or less) the same base clock + turbo. One question - will the Xeons do fine in a standard desktop MB with NON-ECC RAM or dot...

    FT02 vs Fractal Define R4

    I'm shortly going to pull the trigger on a new build now Haswell is out (current machine is 4 years old and really needs replacing). I'm not planning to o/c, and my requirements are good performance for software development/running VMs with occasional light gaming, while being quiet. The...

    How much faster can single-core CPUs be

    The electrons certainly will NOT have had enough time. You mean (as I'm sure you know actually, but in case other readers might not) the electric field may not have had enough time to propagate. The electrons themselves travel at order of fractions of a millimeter per second.

    HELP! Nvidia driver keeps not-responding (and recovering)

    I have the same thing with AMD drivers (and before that with Nvidia ones on the same machine). For me it correlates with high ambient temps, and a long up times for the machine generally. I'm fairly sure my case is a hardware issue, connected to heat. Because it remained consistent over an...

    Power efficiency

    Looking for advice on which GPu family is the most power efficient at modest loads. Mostly my usage is not graphically intense, but I occasionally game lightly (diablo, Starcraft, civ) at a res of 1900x1200. My current build has a 6850, which basically copes fine. However, I value quietness...

    Of course, you don't actually NEED the monkey (or the typewriter) at all. There is a non-0 probability that the atoms in some finite volume, with total mass sufficient to form the physical rendition of the complete works, will spontaneously re-arrange themselves into that particular...

    1 large SSD vs 2 medium

    I'm not immediatwly about to pull the trigger on a build, so likely I'm able to wait until late this year when there should be 3rd gen SSDs available, however, this question will almost certainly still stand. I will certainly want my OS/apps on an SSD (I have an Intel G2 160G in that role in...

    GPGPU computing and virtual machines

    Something like that, but lookup tables are not sufficiently scalable really since patterns can vary considerably in size but can be quite large in some cases, and each point can have 3 states (actually 4 in some sense since edges are significant so its beneficial to encode the lines 'just off'...

    GPGPU computing and virtual machines
