I do a fair bit of video editing.
sudden karma
makes sense then
fiery island
You need a fair bit of ram to do that with any degree of fluidity.
editing 4K/6K on anything less would cause drive flogging - though I have fast M.2's it wouldn't be ideal.
Also I have a bad habit of leaving too many tabs open in mozilla.
sudden karma
nope
static ruin
im guessing the geat from me gpu caused it to become unstable
That would be correct. It's extremely difficult to actually damage components with overclocking now, it typically has more than ample protections built in. Particularly GPU's which also limit voltage without actually modding it on a hardware level
Apparently some of the newer cards are more awkward to OC on the memory because of ECC, it won't crash, but will actually run slower due to ECC correcting more errors, so easier to miss when it's gone too far, it's easy when it just crashes
static ruin
idk how your shit runs so hot all the time
1080ti has a 250w tdp, and presumably not so beefy cooling system, it wasn't really until a couple generations later they started to beef up more
My 5070ti runs cooler than the 1070 did despite pulling twice the power
fiery island
My Fractal North case arrived today.
I got the roomier Xl version with the mesh panels.
The case is a bit shorter than I thought it would be, but it still fits under my desk with a 8cm gap between the top of the case and my desk drawer...should be plenty of space for airflow.
sudden karma
i mean hopefully
fiery island
My 5070ti runs cooler than the 1070 did despite pulling twice the power
Behold the wonders of modern GPU architecture.
static ruin
It's more just coolers are also beefier, even factoring in generally higher tdps. More commenting on Lexi saying 1080ti runs hot, it's just times have somewhat changed
fiery island
There's that too, I remember a fews years back when I built my first ITX system I had a Zotac RTX2060 with a triple fan cooler - it runs practically cold with the eerie thermal efficiency of the Intel Xeon processors, a fact that scared the crap out of me as the GPU fans weren't moving when I first turned it on.

Summer tyres and rwd? What could possibly go wrong here
fiery island
My guess : a lot. Especially when motorcyclists (AKA high velocity organ donors) are involved.
static ruin
Yep. I do go because I become little kid again when checking out snow, does often involve some amount of fish tailing and knowing when to call it
Interesting to see the scenery change in places I know reasonably well, even if it's only a day a year

You don't want to drive on ice at all
fiery island
My first experience of subzero temperatures was in Germany many years ago, I wanted to stay in bed but the family that was kindly hosting me gave me a good prod.
static ruin
Snow yeah is fun, I'd rather have a proper car/tyres for it, but has been good experience over the years, knowing how you should react and what you actually do can be somewhat different, especially the first time
Instinct for a lot of people is to brake as soon as they feel the car sliding out a bit

And that is what causes 90% of accidents under such conditions.
sudden karma
altho that depends on the drivetrain doesnt it
like fwds react differently to rwd
and you correct it differentlyu
static ruin
FWD typically handles a bit better because of the weight above the tyres helps with traction
Otherwise main difference is RWD makes it easier to oversteer, and end up in a snow. With the Falcon when I feel it sliding, I just go with very slight turn in the other way to get it going more where I want, but yeah as with the brake, just gotta not panic. Better to under do rather than over compensate and put it in a spin
frozen lantern

Pro of living in the tropics is being more tolerant to heat and humidity and the con is struggling in the cold
