Looool mike congrats...
very nice couch!

did you read "how to beat the dealer"?
or have your own special method? tell us about

 

[mjkmike]

I am the worst blackjack player on the planet but luck like's a fool that doubles down on 18 with 400 on the table.

 

[stinger608]

whow, that is a nice fricking sectional Mike!!!!!! Very, very nice man

I guess this means I can sleep on the couch

 

[twilyth]

I have that couch - at least the exact same style - in leather but I don't like it at all. I got it several years ago from Ashley Furniture. The material in the cushions doesn't bounce back after extended use. The leather is easy to clean but the cats tend to put scratches in it from jumping around on it - mainly on the arms.

If I had to do it again, I would get a nice sofa and a couple of arm chairs.

It does have some nice features like a pull out bed under the sofa and the last chair acts as a recliner, but still, I would much rather have pieces that I could move around.

BTW, when you double down, do you have to double your bet or do they split whatever money is already on the table - thanks.

up and running strong again for the team

currently at 3.9 with a crappy hyper 212+ and it hits 72c full load

nice chip david, really good pick,

but the board, that is fucking meh lol, whenever i wanna run fah it just restarts instantly, no BSOD, just restart

but this is where the pure awesomness of goodwill and big heart steps in

i bought the stuff from KieX,

and we talked yesterday about the "maybe" defective board, then he just transfers 200$ for me so i can buy a UD3R he just did it? see that is a great guy, money will be here in 2 days or so, then ill order the new board and do something really bad to this evga POS, i promised KieX that, and to record it too

 

[HammerON]

Awesome stuff there besides the crappy board

Bro, you wanna try shipping that board back to me? I might be able to get it RMA'ed, although I doubt it. I'll check tomorrow the warranty info and stuff, dying to hit the sack now. I sent that board straight from RMA to KieX. I received it and in the same box just sent it to him. It was a new one too, it wasn't my old one repaired. I actually got a brand spanking new one. Not sure what's wrong with it

My brother had a sectional that was almost identical to the one he showed as well. I actually wasn't all that comfortable at all. It had very poor back support due to the rear cushion design. His didn't hold up that well either.

Sectionals are good for smaller rooms, but larger rooms don't really benefit from them, unless you plan to section off the room into multiple areas with the furniture. A separate love seat, arm chair and couch combo is much better, and allows you to add better table space in the way of end tables.

Yes. Good point about the tables. My sectional is the smaller of 2 versions and there is only about 7ft of distance from the chaise to the other side. I can't use the coffee table I got at the same time since it's over 5ft long and leaves almost no room on either side for you to squeeze by. You can get smaller tables but unless they are very small, you can still only have one in the center and then it is too small for everyone to reach. The problem is that smaller tables tend to be end tables and are therefore much taller than a coffee table would be. So if you use those, you have people trying to peer over them. I did finally find a couple of short end tables I could use but it doesn't look right.

idk if i really want to do that , shipping the board is like 80$ from denmark,

i think i wanna try the new board first,

i mean the evga oc's fine no problems, im at 4ghz now and crunching, just as soon as i start folding the thing breaks down, and its only when i fold on the card with the AC cooler that sits in the middle slot it does it, gonna try putting the "regular" card in the middle slot today and see how that goes

so either its the card(275) or the boards power management that fucks up somehow

I'm sure you've thought of this but the first thing that occurred to me was a power issue. Since the 275 apparently has a tdp of around 220w (not that would know about such things) and the i7's I think are all 130w, that's 570w just for the cpu and video - although I don't know what the heat dissipation is when you start oc'ing those critters. I would imagine it's not to hard to get over tdp wattage ratings with good cooling.

So while in theory you should have enough power, given your tweaks, maybe it isn't enough. IDK. I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Hope you can get it sussed.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

Picked up a 1TB HDD http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=15_210_212&item_id=021907 for $55 and tax. Then i threw in http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=14_203&item_id=021590 USB/E-Sata enclosure for it. I finally have a portable drive that I can use for file transfers ie, gettin my wifes music off my comp! Next up, a Athlon X3 or X4 for her rig and a HD5800 or 6850 for me

its not that,

kiex tried with same setup and his hx1000w and it did the same thing

think its the board, must be the power management on the board that fails whenever 2 cards are used, kinda like the second or thrid pci-e slot isnt getting enough juice

That's really a shame bro, freakin' sucks. First time it was a dead RAM slot, now this. What the heck is going on with EVGA

dunno man, seems like its just meh

found this on evga forums

The problem is not just with the classified boards, or even EVGA boards, it's the demand on power, trhough the PCIe lanes, any board that can not provide adaquate power for the cards will cause excessave heat through the 24 pin, as it tries to push more through than it was designed for, this would apply to the 758, as well as the 759 and 760, or any board EVGA or not . And the mod would be just as
affective on the 758 as it would be on the 759 or 760, as all it does is by-pass the 24 pin plug ( the weak point in the circuit) and apply it after the point.

[Chicken Patty]

You going to try that mod?

 

[KieX]

Seems like we just got unlucky with that particular EVGA board. Although even if it was good I think Gigabyte still produce the best motherboards at the moment (for any price point).

Once The Don gets a new mobo he should be seeing better results. The one day I got to enjoy that 920 on the R3E was great fun!

 

[(FIH) The Don]

You going to try that mod?

yeah when i get the new board, then i think i will do the mod, but i wont do it until im 500% sure i know what im doing cant afford to burn off cpu and other things lol

I wouldn't man. You already know what I'd love to do to that board. It should still be crunching stable though.. so maybe can put it up for fellow crunchers? If so I won't mind paying shipping. (with a reminder of the problem it has of course)

 

[(FIH) The Don]

its 110% stable crunching @ 4.1 with gpu idling

Don, I wouldn't mind getting that board as long as it crunches. I need a few weeks though. PM me and we can discuss.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

can be yours for the shipping David, dont want anything for it, then you can rma it if you feel like it, maybe evga comes through for you and gives you another board since you had to rma it twice now

 

[p_o_s_pc]

hey guys. Its been awhile since i posted here. I am back crunching part time now but at stock speeds and undervolted to help keep cost down.

So you said shipping will be about $80 USD?

hey guys. Its been awhile since i posted here. I am back crunching part time now but at stock speeds and undervolted to help keep cost down.

We all appreciate it bro. You doing better now?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

its 70$ but i could give some of it, wont be before the 1st then
