It drops out all the farken time though which is annoying. I'm on fixed wireless and there is fark all chance of any fibre here in the next 10 years. A town 18km away has got it but fark me though rite?! In other news; I oc'd my computer like a mofo today with a portable aircon sealed up with cardboard and tape. I managed 4.9Ghz on the cpu and 2164Mhz on the gpu!!! I went for 5Ghz and 2176Mhz but something shat itself, killed the bios again (it was flashing and had snow through it), killed the ethernet adapter and long story short had to remove the gpu, ram, nvme drive and get it all booted in different slots to get it working again... then set up the everyday oc again. Fml it took ages to fix lol. I got a pretty decent score on timespy though Haha 9420 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been frigging around with mine for long enough now that I know where it's rock solid, where it'll go when pushed a bit and today, where it'll go with a bit of assistance. There's a lot of time invested there. I did a gpu bios mod recently which has helped massively. It'll game at 2114Mhz all day long on air even if it is a bit toasty in the mid 70s. I also liquid metalled the gpu and the cpu which was a bit underwhelming all said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am tossing up doing that to the lappy. Given the fact that none of them get stressed more than netflix lately though there's not much motivation :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It barely affected my idle temps but did pull a lot off the top. What laptop are you thinking of doing? A laptop is a lot more thermally constrained than a desktop so you might be pleasantly surprised, especially if you have ever run into throttling issues.

Do your research etc so the laptop and heatsinks don't get damaged and you should be sweet. The stuff is a bit pricey but if it helps out then it'll be worth it. I found that the conductonaut kit I bought only really had enough in it to do the cpu and gpu. There is very little left over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resolution is stuck at 1024x768 right now but should be good for some AAA title 1440p goodness any moment. Also apparently there is something you can do where you use an nvidia card to drive the game and an amd card to output it so I can use freesync on my monitor. I'll have to look that up.
