A single Titan X will struggle to get 144fps in games with everything maxed out. OG Titan probably wouldn't be able to keep up unless you start turning AA down.

Yeah it either peels or rubs off. Like xorbe said, a lot of people will use it to black out emblems on their car or as a cheap way to get non-permanent black rims. Some people paint their entire car with it, but it's hard to get even coverage and it takes a few hundred dollars worth of coats...

Just finished plastidipping the bezel of my monitor now as well as the base. Good bye piano black. Here's after I wiped the dust and fingerprints off the bezel and used a few sheets of printer paper taped together (I would recommend 2 layers of paper so the aerosol won't lift the sheets up)...

Hit my base with 2 coats of plastidip. Takes a nice edge off the mirror finish it is by default. I have an incandescent light behind my monitor to provide backlighting, and without the plastidip I could see the filament. Now it's just a light blob: I could probably plastidip the bezel too...

Bump to add my AIDA64 memory benchmark skyrockets with higher cache multiplier (write speed in particular went from 47GB/s to 67.5GB/s with a 3Ghz -> 4.25Ghz cache frequency bump). So at least on X99 with DDR4 it's a big deal. Across the board my 2666Mhz @ 43x multiplier ram outbenches even...

I need to plastidip the base of the monitor. The high gloss shit is pissing me off. Maybe see about spraying the bezel too while I'm at it.

Yes. No dead pixels, dust-speckle sized smudge in bottom left corner. Unless you keep your screen perfectly clean 24/7 then you won't notice it. I swear the panel feels loose from the frame in the corner too. Overall if it were a regular monitor @ $800, I'd be pissed. Given gsync IPS 144 hz...

My methodology is to go straight to high voltages first, set a clock, and then dial voltages back down until that clock speed isn't stable or temperatures are out of control. For my testing I was running P95 small FFTs since thats as brutal as it can get for these things. I also set all the...

Correct. Sorry to blueball you though :) Although lutjens now has my interest piqued on the quality of the W series Xeons. This experiment would be a fun repeat for those chips, but they're so damn expensive and hard to acquire. Too bad I don't work for Asus or similar...those guys probably...

Generic scatterplot is a happy scatterplot. I purposely want to keep it fuzzy because the point of this thread's exercise was to test a theory of whether it would be possible to go to a store, look at a bunch of chip boxes, and pick out the one that overclocks the best. It's not something...

4.4Ghz @ 1.35V is very crappy.

Yep, going back to Amazon. 7 unopened, 3 opened without breaking the seal so as far as anyone cares they're unused. Dishonest...probably...but it gets the job done. My "old" 4.6 Ghz 5960X I'll put up for sale eventually. I might hang on to it because I have crazy ideas involving decking the...
