Suggestions on a GPU under $300 not to exceed 1080p?
Cleaned out my fans. Its a little better.
>>54517466
Tbh senpai get a Dell precision m6700 and upgrade it to a 970m or 980m, quiet af fans, the GPU will literally run at 65c or below with the 980m.
Workstations seem to be better designed.
I have a quadro k4000m overclocked just above 60% on core and 30% on memory and run Witcher 3 at 1080/medium with some ultra at 30fps.
68c is the highest I've seen it go.
Seriously, gaymen laptops are a meme, my pre owned M6600 is wonderful after GPU upgrade and was well under 1k.
true story
I'm sorry.
Finally got off my lazy ass and moved all my HDDs to my old build retrofitted into a server.
gfx is next up for an upgrade, waiting on polaris and pascal
Everyday until someone likes it.
waiting impatiently for my GPU to die so i can justify buying a new one.
>>54517466
What laptop do you have? My fans are still barely noticeable on full blast when in a game (870m)
>>54520958
>5930k
I really hope that was free... you aren't using any of the PCI lanes and that's it's literal ONLY difference from the 5820k.

Idle temps, gpu goes up to 95 under load
Been like this for a year

holy mother of evos, why do you have so many 850 evos? Why are they all different sizes? And finally, why do you have a R9 390 if you don't play vidya?

my machine is at idle. Nothing running
>>54522762
could probably make a pizza when your computer is under load with those temps
>>54522762
... and this machine(my laptop) can run significantly hotter than my PentD desktop. All it takes is a Youtube video to drive it to 95C.
>>54522851
see my laptop here: >>54522866
it runs waaaaaaaaaaaaaay hotter than my desktop. I have to keep Core Temp running in order to keep tabs on the temps. Once I see it hit 90C, I unplug it and throw it in the freezer for a while.
How do I OC CPU and RAM.
>>54522941
u wot?

>>54519596

>>54522389
your temps are fucked, clean it out?
>>54520971
I mostly attribute it to the sheer amount of dust in my dorm. Turning on a flashlight at night reveals what looks like a haze. I came back home today after finals and cleared it out. It's running much better now.
As for what kind of laptop: Sager somethinsomethin. Parents gave it to me a few years ago and it's never slowed down aside from recently with the dust issue.
>>54522222
I dual boot manjaro but most of my stuff is still on windows. As for why the 8.1, it came with the laptop. It hasn't received a single update from microsoft since I bought it. I'm already on the windows botnet but I don't need it to be windows 10-tier.
>>54519407
Easiest comparison. I spend most of my time working on personal projects. Nothing really that causes the heat to spike above normal idle temps.
>>54522339
nice. I'm adding mSATA to X230 soonish
though I'm getting 60-120Gb only for system partition
>>54522866
>>54522887
You should do something about those temps, change thermal paste on that laptop, it probably turned into clay by now.

Why is my speccy showing different values for temps on my cpu
because its an APU?
hi
AMD APUs are known to have dodgy temp reporting. Only thing that is accurate on mine is the mobo software and speedfan.
I feel like the only person in this whole damn world with a 780 Ti.
>>54527412
Thanks, I was worried because It would randomly state 40c then shoot to 70c and stay around there for a while, I have a CM Hyper evo 212 and its installed correctly
>>54527564
Sony TV, is that the playstation 3D monitor?
>>54517466
you dont have a modern GPU if your system doesnt idle at 70C (the appromixate surface temp of the outer layer of our eath's sun)
in other news PC gaming is dead.
>>54523673
I've been meaning to get around to it. I just hate taking this thing apart.
Weirdest thing though: I can run a VM (sometimes two) all day long on this thing without a problem, but if I play a youtube video I'm headed towards meltdown.
>>54525481

Nah, an old 37" LCD Sony TV I have plugged into my only HDMI port. It doesn't take VGA or DVI so I had to use HDMI.

One question, why do you need so much space?
Are you hording something?
Running with -0.17V undervolting. Runs very fast while being super silent and efficient.
Sucks there are no efficient dedicated graphics cards that can keep up with Intel HD.
>>54530695

>>54530328

You are right, feel free to answer the question.
Why do you need so much space?

>>54531152
I just fire those up when i feel the need to jack it i guess. For the anime marathons you do have a valid point though!
I just like having not to erase stuff and download again if i ever needed to i guess. Stupid really as the rewatch value is often zero on must stuff. Backlogging i guess.

Total sitting around 11.5TB right now.
Just picked up that WD black 5TB last month. Plan on filling it over the course of the next year or so.
>>54531371
>11.5TB
This is insane
Should I change anything? prob upgrade my 290x next but wait for the new gfx cards to come out first or 980ti to come down in price
>>54531420
I average ~3-4TB per year right now. It's not THAT bad.
Every day until new computer
>>54517466
Fahrenheit why
Want a 1440p monitor and maybe a new processor , though I'm sure 3770K is still fine for a while
Post my shit every third day of the week or so. Looking for a new (and decent) 1600 x 900 display if anyone has a legit seller account somewhere.
>recommended max temp is 152°F, I've been hitting 180°F
>this is after I replaced the thermal paste
Posted in the stupid questions thread, I just replaced my old case and a heatsink pin broke in the process (making two broken) but its seated well enough that it shouldn't be causing this big of a problem, I'd have thought.
It had been running at 200°F from startup before I changed the paste, so that's an improvement I guess? I'm really not running anything right now, either.
Ayy
>>54533889
Either a broken temp sensor or you aren't making any contact with the CPU.
75c while idle is terrible.
Also no one here is going to want to convert from F to C so you should change yours to show C or most people are going to ignore your posts by default.
>>54533889
>Computer shut down and is giving me some "shit, I think I'm on fire" beep code
>>54534448
See:
>>54534456
And I can't really switch to C now, as a result.
>>54534483
well it overheated because your heatsink isn't making contact with your CPU die, or very poor contact.
It can't just be resting on top, it needs to make solid contact. That's why you tighten mounting screws.
>>54534504
Which are those shitty plastic pins, and two of them broke. Never could figure out how they actually locked, they just always eventually did.
>>54534574
So, what are the not shit 3rd party heatsinks? Nothing on the wiki.
>>54517466
just finished this build today!
>tfw borrowed old GPU until 1080 or AMD card
>>54534773
depends what you wanna spend. For the basic no OC you can just get basically anything thats cheap.
For a good OC you can get something in the $40-80 area.

>>not 6600k for much less with pratiaclly the same performance
Got this for $250, same price as the 6600k, If I'm not mistaken
>>not 6700k for a bit more for a higher bin and unlocked multiplier
really thought about the 6700k but this CPU was such a good deal.
>>choosing the worst sku possible
you salty or something?
>>54517466
Went to the rich side of my city looking in dumpsters rich dude saw me and said "do you want this shit?" he opened a box and everything was in it.
Waiting for 1070 and will decide either to go 4k+1070 or just 1080p+970.
And yet I want a more powerful CPU
>>54517466
>any average title has shockingly low fps.
>driver rollbacks don't do shit, driver updates do nothing
