so what didnt you like?

fonline-reloaded.net been playing this since it started 8/31/13. pretty good both in turn based and real time. updates at least twice a month. i like it.

thanks Bo$$ I figured it would be. now I just have to keep an eye peeled for the super duper bargain. cuz im such a cheep bastard. cheers

so far so good thanks for the heads up. any idea if it would really be worth the upgrade? any opinions are appreciated.

a asus m4a89td pro/usb3 motherboard will accept a amd fx8350 cpu? I know a fx8150 will work with the proper bios. asus does not list a fx8350, but in past experience non listed cpus have worked in other builds. currently it has a 965be. my other rig has a 5000be that the 965 will work in...

ground loops? neutral and ground should only be connected at the service entrance (first breaker panel after the wires coming from the pole). any sub-panel (connected after the main panel) needs to have neutral and ground separated. many times a sub-panel will have a jumper that ties these 2...

i would say when bd gets cheap, beware of used chips. but there will be a batch that "should" ROCK, when new and not abused. my board may not be much good past the next revisions of fx, but if i pay attension to tpu and other class sites, some smart azz is going to nail down the right lot...

no prob here son of trick. what im using now was going to be intel, but 130 for cpu, 130 board, 130 for ssd, allowed me to splurge on the case and memory. and if amd sorts out their latest and greatest, my board has the bios for bd. maybe with microsquirts efforts i will get 2 extra years...

damn. after a hour it went up to 54c. time to tweak the cpu.

and now another odd thing. i limited my oc to 3.9g because of temp (air). before the patch, using prime95, i got as high as 60c. now im at 52c. only been running for 1/2 hour, but if it holds, i think i will tweak to cpu again. maybe my idea of using amd chipset, amd gpu and amd processor...

something strange happened to me after the patches. i have a 965be oc to 3.9g. no change just using windows index bs (still 7.5). but my ssd went from 7.7 to 7.9. just thought i would pass this along

another trick for a low end machine is to use a down loader like speedbit or ant and put it on your hard drive. it doesnt work for all sites, but ive found very few that ant wont grab.
