    Gonna have to be trial and error. 4.5 shouldn't be too bad, but what are your current idle/under load temps? Why do you want to overclock it?

    You're getting decent weather at least. Houston Hall is good; 1 litre beers, ok food, etc. Brooklyneer is right next door, also good. The Highline is nearby, doesnt take long to walk the entire thing, but plenty of stuff to do off of it. Freedom Tower isn't too far. You could walk to the Hudson...

    Yeah, they're pretty awesome. Unfortunately for them, I've had a few pieces of doa hardware from them, so I don't like buying evga anymore. Couple of motherboards (2 for the same one..that sucked so bad having to wait, 3rd one worked thankfully) and a doa vid card. The replacement vidcard they...

    Yeah..was waiting for prices to come down on these a bit more but got tired of waiting. I seem to recall they were around the $380 mark at one point last year. Going from an i7 920 (1366 socket\x58 chipset..2009) to this. Should be significant performance improvement. Should last me just as long...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Yeah..I'd say thats normal workout soreness (ie going past what your muscles are used to, causing microtears, and blahblahblah..which is basically doms)..I always anticipate day 2 being worse than the day after a workout. Sometimes day 3 is even worse based on whatever workload I did (usually...

    I get it just about everytime i lift. Chest\back, sometimes wont be as sore or as sore as something else. Like I did chest/tris last night and today my tris are more sore then my chest. If i do legs, forget it. My hamstrings/hips are usually always sore after leg day. I sit all day so that...

    Question for you guys; I'm building a new PC and have a Windows 10 (Upgrade) lic installed on my current PC. How much of a pain in the ass is it to transfer the license from the old PC to the new? Is it just a call to MS to resolve or something more complicated?

    Generally shoes with flat, solid soles are good or barefoot. I see a lot of people with chucks. I use some adidas trainers specifically because they have a flat solid sole and they're comfortable. My philosophy on the weak wrists is to work on the weakness and not mask it. That said, for...

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    My gf got this done earlier in the year. Without glasses/contacts she was considered legally blind. Came out with close to 20/20 vision. In a bit of a horror story, one of my friends got it done 3-4 years ago. He claims the surgeon somehow fucked up his tear ducts so his eyes were super dry...

    Build a test environment and..test the programs? Dual booting with Win10 works how it would with any dual booting OS. You boot, you choose, it loads the OS of choice. Done. Although I don't see the point if you dont even know if the programs will work or not. So I would test them out, if they...

    I only drink my coffee black. Milk/Sugar ruin the flavor and make it unhealthy. Although I have dabbled in some of those flavored creamers from 1/2 and 1/2 and they are damn tasty, but I can feel the beetus coming for me after drinking coffee with them. Really like Kicking Horse, Blue Mountain...

    Don't like it or aren't confident in what you're doing? When you were lifting, what were you doing? Do you think if you tailored a routine geared more towards bjj and not just something like 5x5 it would get you to lift more? Nothing against 5x5, its a good place to start for general...

    Running/Jogging

    Get calf compression sleeves. They cost $20-30. Also, if your running shoes are old, look at replacing them or getting new insoles. Both things improved how my shins/calves felt, particularly after a long/hard run. I don't always wear the compression sleeves though..again mostly for longer runs...

    I've had this happen, but it wasn't my harddrive, it was the motherboard. I'd disconnect and reconnect, and all would be fine for a while, and then it would do it again randomly a few months later. I tried different SATA cables, plugging devices into different SATA ports, and the issue...

    As soon as seagate bought maxtor, I stopped buying seagate. And from everything I've read about seagate since, that seems to have been a wise decision. Stick to WD for mechanical drives.

    First time I watched it I kind of felt the same, but on each subsequent watch it gets better and better for me. Definitely one of my favorite sci-fi movies. Not sure why they need to do a sequel though..maybe stay in the same universe, and do a different story. I think it was said by Scott...

    Does the MIC function normally on another PC? Download the latest driver (either from your mobo manu or RealTek). Uninstall and delete the current driver. Reboot. Run Ccleaner to clean out any temp files and then clean up the registry. Double check that there are no RealTek folders on your...

    Saw this last night...overall it was meh. There were some intense scenes, the acting was so/so, but the "story" seemed disjointed in parts (similar to the book). No music at the credits screen, so that was a bit eerie...having 150 or so people walking out of the theater in dead silence was odd...

    Oh really? We've had issues with going from 7 to 8, but I think that had more to do with IT staff installing newer versions of java manually rather than letting us update it via gp. What kind of issues have you run into? At least the newer versions of java actually started removing the older...
