February 10, 201510 yr Sounds like video card. Fan on it probably shit no?It's hot but not insanity.....I wouldn't want my GPU that hot. It's odd that it's working so hard.It isn't working hard...Lol true. I'm nore saying that even if the cards fan died with your work loads it's odd it is that hot. If it doesn't have a load how is it getting so warm?ATI cards are little furnaces though...
February 10, 201510 yr Fans are all spinning, temps at 40C.How should I stress it?3d Mark and vantage mark are awesome.MemtestX86 is great for memory. Its a boot test though so you can't monitor live.Prime 95 is classic CPU testing.Ah, wow. Didn't realize tools from 95 still existed, lol. For what we want to stress, the oldies are the best.That mem test was the only thing that could prove a bad stick. Every other diagnostic missed it. And prime is so predictable, it's just the go to test.Sometimes the wheel doesn't need to be reinvented.
February 10, 201510 yr I think you said it, but when exactly do you see the machine shut down?Arctic silver is the shit but if the room is super hot and dry and on a stock cooler it could be at its lifespan limit....The only two times I've managed to force it down were:Converting 300+ pictures from Canon Raw to DNG while doing some surfing and other trivial shit in the backgroundCopying 500gb of data back and forth while converting some DNG to JPG files.So both came while converting pictures, but considering that is ALL that is ever done to "work" the machine it would make sense that it causes it. I'll run some stress programs on it and watch the temps later todya.Is there any warning or message on start up?I would put my $ on processor is overheating, or memory has some weird critical failure.Next guess would be the power supply. Roommate Sean and I go through an odd amount of PSUs. Not quite the insane level of drives you go through, but we murder PSUs.
February 10, 201510 yr Roommates birthday last Saturday so he took Monday off and treated him to dinner.Went to Matt's bar, home of the jucy lucy. It was better than I expected. I'm full of gas today however and it's pure onion. Wow.
February 10, 201510 yr 3.3V rail is stableVideo card still at 102CFan RPM's are reported, CPU at 2250RPMCurrent pull seems consistent.
February 10, 201510 yr Only temp change since I left is in the video card. Up to 114C. going to stop Prime and do 3DMark and see if I can get the video card to act up and shut me down.
February 10, 201510 yr Only temp change since I left is in the video card. Up to 114C. going to stop Prime and do 3DMark and see if I can get the video card to act up and shut me down.Can you decrease the voltage a bit? Or core clock on video card?
February 10, 201510 yr Amazed I have not put my fist through the monitor. Yay AutoCAD 2004.I hate that shit! Nothing as boring as drawing some 3D Duct layouts... These are steel structures, but can be almost as boring. There is good money in it,and it can be very useful in certain applications as well..But I never could get into,And the fact that I had a million things going on when I took it did not help at all..it was just not for me I guess I can deal with it when need be,But I do not see how someone could do it 40+ hours a week for a living
February 11, 201510 yr My lower back is just a mess.Ouch....I have been very lucky..I never really had any back problems. But I know several people that does and it seems like it would be miserable From what I understand once you have a back injury it is hard to get straightened back out...
February 11, 201510 yr My lower back is just a mess.Ouch....I feel for you brother! hope you get it worked out..
February 11, 201510 yr Squeezed a bit.. I am unhappy with the ping and upload! Fixing to work on that.. ">http://http://s1293.photobucket.com/user/mikel7829/media/20150210_183927_zpslcwqqrqa.jpg.html'>
February 11, 201510 yr Would like to see my download 65+ upload 20 +.... ping 7 or under... I will get this
February 11, 201510 yr I have never had lower back pain unless it's an injury.Feels like arthritis. I'm now tramadoled up, so it a good.
February 11, 201510 yr I have never had lower back pain unless it's an injury.Feels like arthritis. I'm now tramadoled up, so it a good.Tramadol is shit......For that you need hydrocodone IP's will ease the pain and take down the inflammation.. That is what they give me after my shoulder surgery it works!
February 11, 201510 yr Only temp change since I left is in the video card. Up to 114C. going to stop Prime and do 3DMark and see if I can get the video card to act up and shut me down.If you can't change you voltage..Grab some resistors and track down the current path on your pcb to said issue area....Per ohm's law you can reduce your voltage .if you do not have a user friendly bios ..you can raise the resistance feeding the current to said "Chipset"..ect...That will decrease the voltage input, for a voltage drop..Radioshack is closing so I am buying every resistor I can get my hands on.. If theirs are worthwhile for driving. Michael
