Small talk & Chit chat

Yeah, it's pretty shameful really. Glad I ditched the site years ago.
Aye, I have now as well, sod them as far as I care


Also, forgive me for being dense, is there a particular reason why the old thread was sent down a black hole? I've missed quite a lot lately
 
Tom's has been a shill site for so long I'm shocked it took THIS long for people to realize it. That site hasn't been relevant in years.
 
Watched a docu over the past two nights in two sittings.

https://www.netflix.com/title/80158844

It's about a 40 odd year old man with Bipolar disorder (untreated and not diagnosed until his diaries were read after his suicide and videos were watched by professionals). He cut his own throat and wrists. He had 7 children, 4 are diagnosed autistic and one has chronic bipolar.

God, I was crying my eyes out. It was bad enough going through what I have gone through over the years but seeing children having to go through it just really made me sad. It's beautifully sad. I also liked what the one boy out of the 7 kids said. "People with autism are supposed to lack empathy. I don't think that is true. If anything we have too much of it but just don't know how to use it properly".

Funny thing is when one of the girls has a birthday party she all of a sudden gets angry and I knew then she had bipolar, before they even told you. Sad, very very sad :(
 
A morning without spam, am i dreaming? :D


I guess signups are closed right?

I actually never thought of it but that would be an amazing way to temporarily to combat spammers, Close forum sign ups and once every review video open them back up for 24 hours, Do this maybe for 2-3 months and the spammers will give up as they'll know their crap will be deleted instantly.
 
So Witcher TV series is filming the finale of its last episode.

Anyone else highly stoked to prep binge watching this? :D

They still haven't done anything else. TV and Movies will often screen the finale because it's easier to write the last episode/conclusion and work your way backwards. It keeps the clear defined goals/morals/direction of the series/film intact the whole way through. Forces it because otherwise you have to redo the end and that cost time and money which they don't have.

I'm not excited honestly. They are going to ruin the series.

In the Witcher World there are no colored people. It's very SJW offending in many areas. The writer is a lead feminist and low key SJW. She said the best person for the job gets it no matter if it's a colored skin person. Really makes me angry. She says they are 100% being loreful and trying to be true to the source but the BS she says is exactly the opposite. It's bringing in modern culture into a fictional world where our culture and political correctness is not needed. Ours is completely void in the world of Witcher. It's like saying we should make Gandalf the White a black man in Middle Earth.

And I use the words colored people objectively, to include everyone without singling out any particular people and being as least offensive as possible.

Just came back from the hospital, Was there for 7 hours as my dad got a severe pain in his chest, We thought it was a heart attack but it was on the far right side of his chest near his shoulder, Turns out he has torn both of his pectorals from when we moved as he must have lifted too much, 4 x separate ECG's came back perfect, Blood work perfect, The female doctor asked me how he's so healthy, Gave her the run down that I'm a personal trainer and nutritionist and so his diet is laid out perfectly for his needs, She said jokingly -

"Ooh might phone you to make dinner for me 1 night wink wink"

Kinda nice considering she was smoking hot, So all in all a decent day 😊

Thank your dad for hurting himself and letting you meeting a fine looking women, now don't f it up and get that dinner started :cool:

Glad to hear it's OK man. I did something similar many years ago. I was working on a car in the blistering heat (102f in a pole barn sanding) and I woke at around 4am feeling like some one had stood on my chest. Was rushed to hospital, turns out I tore some cartliage in my rib cage. I was in absolute agony lol.

Oh and also this. Where there's hair you should be there.

Yeah I'm sure she'd love a romantic meal of broccoli and chicken. :lol:

Ouch !

lol with creatin jello for desert and a protein bar as a starter :D

That's only what I cook for myself on a daily, I worked as a cook in a restaurant for 7 years so can cook other things too :P

Right. So as you all know that I've switched out my RX480 for Vega64 because sod Nvidia right now. Daiyus mentioned about undervolting it and I have done with some surprising results.


First, I ran with just stock settings applied, GPU-Z reported 220W power draw

To begin with, I dropped the voltage straight down to 1V across the core and the HBM while leaving the clocks stock. Performance loss wasn't much, however the temperature did stay in the region of 60°C from 70°C when ran at stock. Also Power draw dropped to the region of 180W.

Now I decided to push the HBM, but drop the voltage even more. I dropped to 950mV across the board, pushed the HBM up to 950MHz from 945MHz and it did make a little boost on the performance, temps increased a tiny bit but the power draw stayed steady.

I did try to push the HBM to 1GHz but alas, I didn't win the silicon lottery this time and it artifacted like hell and then crashed the whole system, no matter what voltage I threw at it so I reverted back to 950MHz as a nice stable.


Now, the core. On stcok settings I was getting steady 1490MHz with absolutely no throttling. So I pushed up to 1510MHz and due to my HBM debacle, upped the voltage a little to 960mV giving a little performance boost, but at the cost of an extra 10°C and another 20W power totalling 200W

After, I dropped the voltage down back to 950mV, upped the core to 1520MHz and got a little boost with tiny little less heat and no power difference either.

So that's my undervolting experience so far. Leaving it there for now as it's stable and doesn't throttle under load, but I will return to see how many more volts I can drop before it ruins the performance.
 
Have heard the same about all Vega tbh. They are massively over volted from the factory. I guess AMD just wanted to make sure they were 100% stable.
