    TIL that trams in Sarajevo are rather unsafe, even more than back alleys filled with robbers.

    Those are very decent temperatures. My chip idles at 35 C and at moderate load spends most time in the high 50s. I try to stay under 60, but it's generally around 58 C when running BeamNG.

    The best part is that the fans (GPU and CPU) never exceed 1500RPM, so they always run at like 15%.
    I don't know how an Intel stock cooler and a refrence card can do that, but whatever, I'm fine with it.
    My friends laptop has about 80°C after 10 minutes of playing around with some NES emulator.
    Idles at around 60°C.
    ------------------
    Tomorrow (which is in like 1 and a half hours) we'll write an English test.
    Yay!
    Actually looked through the vocabulary for this year to see if there was anything that I would actually need to learn, but it doesn't seem like it.
    The only thing were that I might have to look at for more than 2 seconds are the 2 pages full of irregular verbs.
    Oh also, for those who wanna know what grade I had in English last year, I had a perfect A.
    All 16 grades we could get were As, so I guess that's good.
    -------------------
    I might buy a second SNES controller and Super Mario World for 50€ some time soon-ish.
    Yes, I do have a SNES and I think it's one of the best consoles ever.
    I'm the only personm in my class (or for that matter age group,) that still appreciates the good ol' 16bit graphics.
    The golden age of video gaming was back then, not now.
    Sega did what Nintendidn't and Blast Proccessing was the newest most amazing trick Sega had.
    I really just love the SNES.
    There were so many amazing games for it like StarFox, Super Mario World, Mario Kart and so on.
    Today everything is just all about the graphics, but back then it was all about the gameplay, which it should still be today IMO.
    Also, the sound chip of the SNES and just the way it sounded in general was so amazing.
    I have a super-duper rare non-discoloured one btw.
    It's a PAL model.
    Still have the original AC adapter and multi-out cable for it too.
    Bought in '93 I belive, not sure though.

    1500rpm is alot more than 15%... They dont run at 10000rpm max you know... They'd probably explode if they did. 2500 is more in line.

    I think they have a max of either 5k rpm or 7k rpm.
    So it's either 30% or about 25%.
    Gonna make them go to 100% for a short time tomorrow to see what their max is.

    Seems GPU ones can run higher than CPU, but then they are smaller diameter so less inertia anyway. Apparently some of those will hit 6 or 7k.



    However. Do not confuse the percentage given on screen with the percentage of the max speed. The percentage on screen is the duty cycle of the PWM signal running the fan, 0% duty cycle on a stock AMD cooler comes out to 800rpm at 7v, clearly not the speed of the fan...



    EDIT:
    EVGA Nvidia GTX460 v2 SC. 3750rpm at 100% duty cycle. WHich also only caused a 1c drop in temperature for the short time I tested.

    Forza 6 looks like, well, shit, compared to predecessors. My dad still plays Forza 4. Forza 5 looks better than 4, but not that much. And 6 looks almost identical to 5. *sigh* That's why I play PC.

    An extremely close friend just confided in me that he likes comic sans.

    He is no longer my close friend.

    Love Forza 4. Great game. Yes, I do have an Xbox 360, I play that, Forza Horizon, and Driver:SF on it. I also play Burnout 2 and 3 in the backwards compatibility mode. That's it, besides being a day-to-day Netflix box.

    Yes you are correct. I am looking for any model of laptop between $1000-1500 (not a desktop) which will run BeamNG reasonably. I don't really have any other requirements really.

    Hey guys, I was watching a nadoex video and realised that his camera angles have a tilt. I can't seem to achieve this tilt and am asking if anyone knows how to achieve it.

    There is a screenshot mode in beamng that allows it i think. I imagine you can do it using the console as well. Its also possible that he rotates it in his editing package after the fact since the black bars will help a lot with that.

    Looks *worse* than predecessors? I think you're mistaking it for Gran Turismo 6.
