Does Gskill really think I'm going to put a Red Sticker on my case? Especially one that says "Go Beyond Limit"...

Now if it said "Xtreme performance" then it would be a different story though, right? Maybe with a couple of dragons or something?

I require all case badges to have LEDs.

My MSI MPower mobo came with a door hanger that says "Do Not Disturb. I'm Breaking World Records" or some shite like that. Almost made me want to RMA it right then and there.

Sounds like reason enough to RMA to me.

AMD - How to Change The Power Control/Limit from +20% to +50%

For those of you with AMD cards. I did this last night and didn't really notice much of a difference but am still experimenting with it.

I've done some things and stuff:
Card is OC'd to 1125/1400 which is where I leave it at, for the most part.

Stock 0% power limit for a reference.
As you can see with the power limit set to 0% the GPU usage and core clocks fluctuate and throttle themselves

Heaven 0%


+20% power limit(highest % without modding registry)
Much more consistent across the board. Almost no throttling, if any.


Substantial increase in overall performance.


30% power limit. I hope you're ready for it.
Almost no difference in GPU usage as compared to 20%


Almost identical to 20% although the core clock stayed at 1125 throughout the entirety of the benchmark where as at 20% it did drop very slightly a few times.Oh and the max FPS 151.4 instead of 151.8



I tried 50% last night with 3dmark11 and there wasn't a difference compared to 20% either.

We need this, the board is getting overrun with NCAA posts. Shocker it's the same shitty game it's been for the last decade.
