Memory OCed? If you have it pretty far up there, try reducing a little.

You should be able to get the memory to 1950Mhz. I don't remember how much + to add to reach that. +60 on core sounds high to me still, especially with power sliders and voltage sliders all the way to the right. When you increase power and voltage on its own, the core will boost to nearly 1500+MHz if I recall correctly (that's with the modded EVGA SC bios on it). So, you'd really only want to add about +35-45 or so. Past 1545-ish on core on both cards, stability was inconsistent. They'd get through a 3dmark run but wouldn't sustain an hour of certain games.

If memory is resisting an OC beyond +50, you might try OCing memory first, with the core slider at zero, then start adding core once you've found a stable memory OC. I'm pretty sure I found my best 3dmark score by prioritizing the memory overclock.

Nice! I stay out of the conversations between the masters, but I love reading them I learn stuff.

Yea, GPUs with blocks' value deteriorates so quickly. It's usually the same price or cheaper for a 1 year or older card with a block then it is for it with a stock cooler.

Full-cover GPU blocks are PCB-specific, so they never carry over to your next GPU upgrade. If you upgrade GPUs as often as Coyote (or even as often as I do, every 2-3 years), it does get quite old. Especially if you always do SLI/Crossfire; it's then $300+ in GPU blocks on top of the costs of the cards themselves.

I used to stick with universal GPU blocks for that reason, but the only benefit they have is noise reduction (and the ability to carry them over GPU upgrades). They only cool the GPU, and you'll have to stick some tiny passive heatsinks on RAM and mosfets. Full-cover blocks actively cool VRMs/Mosfets and RAM so you have more OC headroom everywhere. And they look better.

I'm sorry I asked

I was reading something about it and apparently it took like 30TB's of storage to fit all the raw 8K data shot.

Oh boy.

Intel tells Core i7-7700K owners to stop overclocking to avoid high temps

One time in life I enjoyed soft hands but they get beat up now. Wood working became a hobby and nothing dries your hands like fine dust from sanding.

I've tried Work Hands which gets the job done in non-winter months. My biggest issue is washing my hands. They bleed from being so dry at times. I also have a hand washing problem. I over wash/clean them, taking all the natural oils out. Some days I might wash my hands 20+ times.

Edt: what lotion do you use? Serious talk? Your hands also look older than mine. Over 30? Pictured you pushing 30 for some reason.
