Only game I play eyefinity on is civ, which oh so fun.

But for any other FPS game its very difficult to get used to. In BF3 the map is in the bottom left corner of the left screen so it takes far more head and eye movement to see it. I always find myself focusing on the center screen anyway, never using the outside screens

I can see that, it's a lot of real estate to keep up with.

After running some tests at stock voltages, 2 cores got up to 88C and 83C, but the other 2 cores never cracked 50C.

Looks like I may have applied the TIM wrong. I'm going to take it apart and see what's up.

Edit: my TIM wasnt covering the whole die, so I reapplied it and covered the whole die. If that doesn't work, I probably didn't clean the old glue off well enough so I'm going clean it some more.

Yea It really is getting to me that I didn't build around a 2011 socket. I just love this MPower board that I couldn't make the switch. Plus plan in going all out ins IB-E.

Like 4-5 480 RAD Tri-Quad type shtt.

Did you spread it using the supplied q tips? Is it a pita to spread as some people say?

Whaaaa? Like cotton qtip? I always take some saran wrap or cut a piece of a ziploc and spread mine. I wouldn't think a qtip would be a good idea....

I see you have the AX850...do yourself a favor and get the pin remover tool from frozen CPU or mnpctech. I tried EVERYTHING else with the hairpins and shite and had little luck. That tool made it a breeze.

Only thing I didn't like was how screwy the wiring was for the 24-pin. The two connectors deal is annoying when sleeving.

Don't know the max RPM, but they are very quite.

Puff, I put a small dot in the center and the smoothed it with the syringe that was given.

Srb, I've been using a pin removal tool

I use a credit card. Nice flat edge.

Hell, it worked with cocaine in the 80s. Why not with TIM now?
