N2 Gaming

Ok I got the two gtx460's running in SLI but I can see little to no usage on the second gpu while monitoring them in Afterburner as well as in Heaven.  I get the same score in sli or non sli mode   Don't know what's going on.

I found an EVGA GT or GTX285 yesterday while looking for some hardware.

Now to figure out how to tweek things and get some validations.

Edit:  I tried to get the CPUZ link to work a couple of diff ways but alas I give up.  Other things to do besides figuring out how to post links

why not just de-shroud and zip tie on a couple of (better) fans onto it? 

I don't think that way LOL.  Come to think of it, that's not a bad idea if I had a couple of better fans laying around.  Not about to go hosing other hardware for this one LOL

Edit:  Super glue is drying.  The glue should not throw the fan out of balance too much.

While cleaning the dust off of a never used in my possession GTX 460 1GB Hawk Twin Frozer GPU, the dark side managed to make me break 5 fan blades off one of the two fans

I'm performing the Super Glue surgery atm.  Hopefully the card is good after all this.  I'd hate to plug it in to find a DOA card after doing the cleaning and fan surgery.  I need little Yoda's power right about now.

Yeah that got me laughing as well.  Who don't need a little advanced marketing to boost sales LOL!

I'd like to give credit where credit is due.  EVGA is calling Nvidia out on their BS business tactics as more should do.  If they survive this great if not it's just sign of the times.  Who don't remember having issues with DFI when they took a turn or OCZ or Foxcon, epox etc.  Nvidia can only get so big before they get knocked off the shelf.  I won't lie I'm an Nvidia Fanboy going way back to ever since No ATi Card has ever worked flawlessly for me.  I think Nvidia is banking on knowing the market is going to be getting tight here pretty soon if the economy keeps on tanking and is going to be relying on people with money willing to pay what ever required to get the latest and greatest hardware.  Fry's out of business, Circuit City out of business, Sears/KMart going if not already out of business.  It happens but unless paying customers put their foot down and say no more by spending the $$$ elsewhere then these big greedy conglomerates keep getting away with it and prices keep soaring out of control. 

I'd love a new EVGA 4090 Ti FTW3 GPU but I know MSI, Asus, Gigabyte and others will put out cards very capable to take up the slack.  Unless people globally band together and say no more then you can expect nothing to change.    I'm not sure about how y'all handle politics here but I think it has a lot to do with it and what is in our near future O.o  Basically in my opinion worrying about EVGA is peanuts compared to what may be on the horizon.

edit:  I just googled remaining open Sears stores.  I'm in Stockton California and we still have one of the remaining 4 stores open in California.  I know off topic but sorta related if peeps are thinking EVGA is tanking

Try pulling a 5.0L out of a 98 Explorer in 115F temps two days in a row while feeling like you are going to pass out just from bending over or squatting and standing back up.  My most recent engine project is a 1994 Super Cab F150 5.0L 5spd 4x4 Lifted truck I recently purchased for a song.

Got the engine home and pulled the pistons for inspection to discover very minimal wear.  I think I'll get away with a hone and new rings.  I kind of melted the coating on the Hypereutectic pistions by soaking them in Purple Power "don't do that" but they are super clean now and ready for new rings.

Nice! Welcome to the forum!

Thank you.

I might have a pair of GTX 460 cards for the gt 400 series in SLI I could submit with the Ph ii x4 955 BE  I'll have to look.  Can't remember what hardware I have laying around.

Update:
Added 3 new mods to the pack and 2 new maps.  New (latest version) pack is uploading right now and the OP will be corrected once it is.  I've also added a new "updates" section to the OP, so if you miss an update to the mods list, you can easily just grab the latest updates from the last version you had without the need to re-download the full 3+GB.  Hopefully it doesn't get TOO confusing.  Will have older mod packs listed under the updates section as well, for archival purposes.

 

Also switched to google drive over OneDrive.  15GB > 5GB.  That should be sufficient to host what I've got going on here, at least for a while.  If the mod pack starts getting broken, for whatever reason and I have to delete stuff, it'll end up being a full re-download for everyone anyway as I'll have to update the whole pack to delete stuff.  Hopefully that doesn't happen, but it can since mods.  

 

Added Mods:

• Player Weapons and Guns

 

Added Maps:

• Dirty 4x4 Offroad v1.5 (Naches, WA trails)

• BeamNG Off Road Open Desert Trails 4096x4096 v1.8.1

 

Server is currently OFFLINE due to the updates.  Will post an update once its back online and the DL links are live.  Apologies for the delay.

Player Weapons and Guns O.o is there going to be a Mad Max Mod ???
