IC Diamond 24 Giveaway/ Reliability Survey

[Texanman]

I think I did it about midway through February... at first the temps were better then stock... then about a few weeks before I got my desktop the temps were getting higher then normal... same thing happened in my friends laptop (studio xps 1647 i think...one with the i5 refresh)

and even my gpu idle went down.... damn.... I think my laptop was getting to hot is the reason why I was getting studdering in games

[Hungry Man]

I'm ready. What benchmark program should I use?

[Texanman]

i think for cpu they want people to use prime95 for a decent length of time.... as for gpu the only thing i can think of to stress the gpu enough to generate heat is either occt or bitcoin mining

[Hungry Man]

Can I get a legit link for prime32? Can't find one/ I'm getting mixed results on google.

Thanks.

Pre -- Idling at 92C and it's pretty much holding there.

Time to apply.

edit: Post-IC is idling at 88. That's pretty significant imo.

Well, the Canadian gov passed a law forcing the post workers back to work. I can say i feel sorry for them, but at least that means we'll get our ICD hopefully. Expect an update on my temps soon.

Pwn3d? xD

Still waiting for my tube, leaving for a 2 week vacation at the start of July so i was hoping i could get it before me leaving, but no biggie. ;d

You could say that. The problem lies with the fact that Canada Post is essentially a governmental agency. The staff went on a rotating strike, which slowed things somewhat then the management went into lock out essentially paralyzing the service. After that if the conflict wasn't resolved it was only a matter of time before the gov went with a special law since all negotiations stopped.

I won't go into the political discussion, against the forum rules if i recall, but yeah, Canada Post's staff ended up getting pwned in the end. Well, at least we'll get our paste, getting ICD in Canada is a pain. I did find a replacement store for NCIX since they don't have it in stock, but i'll have to order it from BC, i'm in Québec which means that it's at the other end of the country. If i order, it's still gonna take a week to arrive.

Do I need to store in a cool dry place or keep in the refrigerator once I opened the tube? If anyone knows please let me know.
