so I noticed that my motherboard ram was only running stock @ 1600 MHz, changed bios setting to XMP which bumps up the ram to 2100 MHz and run firestrike again, got a score of 11055. so system memory speed has quite a large impact http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16326757

so I ran firestrike @Puffwagon first score I got 10016 at stock second score 10940, that was with 400 MHz increase on memory & 150 MHz increase on the core I used MSI Afterburner, seems to work better for me than Evga Precision http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/16325239

Happy Monday [emoji3] Just got an email from the NBN co, my area now is ready for hook up. Woohoo!!!!!! [emoji39]

Just one 690 puff. I'll run firestrike tonight and post the results. [emoji3]

I have read people using car coolant for 12 months between changes without a problem, and their water blocks were still 100% as clean as the day they were fitted. as far as bleeding the system goes, I did run just the pump and and tipped the case in all directions which has dislodged the air lock/bubble in the GPU water block. I know what you are saying @skidxr6t about the res being a lot lower than some other components in the system, but temps have stabilised quite good now so I think all the air is out of the system

you can always buy one of these if you have limited fan headers on the mother board https://www.pccasegear.com/products/35719/cablemod-3-pin-fan-to-3x-3-pin-fan-adapter-black I have used mobo fan connections in the past coupled with a 2 fan controllers, one that was included with the case, and one that came with the power supply. I now just use the 2 fan controllers, both take up to 3 fans each, Have 5 fans in total with water cooled setup. Did have up to 10 fans at one stage with air cooled setup!

PC is the only platform I use now. Used to have a PS2 many years ago. Have played on my friends PS4 (which I thought was pretty good) But just can't beat the graphical quality of a decent gaming PC.[emoji39]

what lovely room of your house are you relaxing in Pix?

OK Pixy, it is bad after all

why are my posts being duplicated in tapatalk?

Rabs kids have their own kids, so it sounds worse than it is

Like the Fonz, cooler than cool

I think its a bloody great cooling thing

26° ambient. CPU 33° GPU 1. 25° GPU 2. 26° I didn't think it was possible to be cooler than ambient temperature?

sitting in the air con, 26 degrees

you're a worry Rab

all quiet here 31 degrees, time for a swim

Hi Keefy ?

The Mazda 787b, now that thing is a handful

I'm having heaps of fun driving a crappy old Toyota corolla (British race spec) Lots of contact and great sound.

Downloaded some really cool cars and tracks off the Assetto Corsa community website. [emoji3] Bathurst , Adelaide and Caldwell Park (UK) just to name a few. All free. [emoji39] There are literally hundreds of downloads to choose from. I'm going to be gaming for months. Where's the caffeine, I'm gunna need it shortly.[emoji41] On a side note, water-cooled PC is now running @ 50° under load, 27° cooler than on air ! [emoji3]

Excuses excuses. [emoji39]
