Never seen the point in LAN booting, only for really commercial applications. Did you know that for educational purposes, RM (English company, yay ) sold computers with no hard-drive to save money (back when hard-drives were a considerable amount of money in a system). And all the computers booted off one server with a hard-drive.
Ran a Geekbench test. Quite happy with the result. Temperature measuring/fan control app acted weird during benchmarking, while displaying CPU temperatures. Temps shooting up from 50 to 85 degrees and back to 50 in seconds. Software bug or something wrong with a sensor?
are you using "MacsFanControl"? That uses a temp sensor for the CPU die, not the cores. It's kind of an average of the cores. That could be down to thermal paste issues, again another thing apple is known for (applying wayy too much thermal paste and bad thermal paste). Get some Arctic Silver on it (please don't spill it, it's conductive!).
In Tom's hardware test Arctic silver was not really so well performing, I think that even cheap Noctua paste outperformed it. Then again differences were not huge between midrange and higher end until going for liquid metal things.
Yes I did. I installed Windows Server onto a laptop and configured Windows Deployment Services, set up a static IP address and a LAN connection with an old router I have, and then I just tell the target machine to boot from the LAN connection. (Ethernet cables everywhere)
@Michaelflat Yes, I'm using Macs Fan Control. Maybe I should try switching to SMC. Don't know exactly why I chose Macs over SMC in the first place, I've been using it on some my apple computers since day one. And yes, changing the thermal paste will be the next step. If I have to take it apart, I'm also going to swap the topcases (the other one is like new) & clean it out thorougly. So far, so good. I've updated it from 10.1 to 10.5 (sticking with Yosemite for now), and that worked without any problems. @Joeyfuller2000 I can remember a business nearby used these thin clients on the back of a monitor, which were LAN booted from a central server. All connected to ethernet, and the cables were worked away in wire trunks. Back in the day I thought that was futuristic technology
Macs fan control is the better software i think, you can do custom fan profiles (as apposed to SMC's fixed RPM), and also measure some other sensors. But beware, SMC sets the minimum fan speed. If the machine overheats when set to say 3000RPM then the fan will increase from that. On MFC(macs fan control) it will lock the fan to that RPM, and will not increase, eventually resulting in throttling, or thermal shutdown.
Thinking about getting this monitor, thoughts? https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XFA240-...pID=51geOOpItVL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
I just had a thought: What if I was to go into wayback machine, sign into this forum, and make a post? Probably nothing would happen....... But what if something did? What if this is the way out of the Matrix?
The wayback machine just archives a copy of the part that your browser sees. It does not record the whole website (it can't). Any server related functionality does not work.
I had something rather wierd happening with my teufel cage i unplugged my mic and it still recorded my speaking the wierd thinf is that i dont have another mic anywhere on my pc and my headset doesnt have a second microfone im rather confused i also unplugged my headset completly and now it doesnt do that anymore. Any ideas what that could have been?
Your wallet will, Nvidia allows you to use different Hz on the monitor, but not dynamically changing. I set mine to 120Hz, then V-Sync allows these options (using frame doubling etc.): 120FPS 60FPS 30FPS 15 FPS (god almighty).
Are you saying that i can set the Hz that my monitor runs at and then my Nvidia GPU will make the same FPS? I only really got into PC's last year, so I'm a little confused
You can set the Hz your monitor runs at (within range) using your GPUs software (like changing resolution). This will now be the refresh rate of your monitor, but bear in mind that this doesn't guarantee all games run at that speed, that Hz you set is the max refresh rate at the moment, most monitors it is 60Hz so your max is 60FPS, but the game can slow down below that because of lag etc.
Now i (think) I know what you're talking about, I set my 60HZ HP Monitor to 75Hz last week and it looks a lot smoother. However, I'd rather just buy a 144hz monitor and not bother with overclocking it, and besides this monitor has displayport, a fully adjustable stand, and looks pretty nice too. I've been saving for a new pc/monitor for ages and i think that i'll be able to afford it soon.
Even if you would get 2080Ti, it might not run all games at 144fps all the time, there are CPU limits still around, some games are bottlenecking even overclocked 8th gen CPU before reaching 144fps. You could try to turn vsync off and run your favorite game 144fps right now, using fps limiter, like what comes with MSI Afterburner, then see how well you can keep 144fps. If you have Ryzen 3 and 2GB 1050, then you will be lucky to keep 60fps, then as your fps drops below to that, like 59fps, vsync locks to 30fps, which will look horribly laggy. Setting adaptive vsync, or smart vsync in BeamNG does help with that of course, but it still introduces less smooth gameplay. Keeping shadows off and setting low graphic details of course helps in BeamNG, a lot actually, but still 144fps is something you will not be able to keep up with hardware in your signature. With setting monitor to 75Hz you probably had vsync to lock something higher than 30fps and maybe that is why it looks smoother. Try to set your monitor to 50Hz if it can and try to keep 50fps without dropping below that at all, it should be smoother as your hardware would be better able to keep up with that refresh rate. If not using vsync, then nothing of that matters, but at least for me when turning everything stutters so bad that can't really stand that.
A word of advice. Never ever buy a phanteks evolv case. Utter garbage. Fit and finish is not that great, but the airflow through them is atrociously bad and the water cooling options they tote? Their reservoir mount fouls the GPU. The pump basement doesn't fit a D5 without fouling the case. The pump plate doesn't fit any pump without fouling a front radiator. The upper radiator fouls the motherboard. The rear radiator fouls the case. Advertised as water-cooling friendly? Should be sued for bad advertising --- Post updated --- Every single image online of a watercooled one shows modified cases
