18:14.52MysticalOSStanzilla, you do realize neither chadd or ion care about that?
18:14.59MysticalOStweeting them every few hours is pretty useless :P
18:15.07Stanzilladont care either :D
18:15.10znfalso, has anyone actually reproduced that issue on a HDD?
18:15.11Stanzillasomeone has to
18:15.11MysticalOSeven i gave up bitching about the broken UI code creating a bunch of shit folders
18:15.18Megalonlots of not-caring going on in here
18:15.25znfbecause I've only seen it on a SSD
18:16.25StanzillaAS LONG AS I CAN TWEET
18:16.28StanzillaI WILL COMPLAIN
18:19.18MysticalOSi even gave up complaining about engine. I'm just going out of my way to way over spec wow, so I meet it's true min specs for smooth ultra settings in crowded areas
18:19.43MysticalOSCPU OC to 4.6ghz now, although when rest of my parts come an i switch out air cooling for water, pushing it to 5.0
18:20.04quiescenso.o
18:20.16quiescenswhat did you start with?
18:20.42MysticalOSi had a 4770k but it was a crap overclocker, I got a less than average roll of dice on it. i replaced it with a 4790k yesterday
18:21.13quiescensso 4.4
18:21.24MysticalOSwhich is 4.0 stock with 4.4 turbo (when is really a pretty hefty OC on it's own because thermally the 4.4 is not that cool, in fact, it'd be borderline on a stock cooler)
18:21.51MysticalOSat stock it ran at 70C on a notctua D14, it would have been like 80-90 on a stock. with stock auto voltages. of course auto was overvolting shit out of it too
18:21.56quiescensi don't know if i like the turbo stuff on today's cpu's
18:21.58MysticalOSbecause i raised it to 4.6 without even changing them
18:22.44quiescensthey bump the voltage way up because they prefer to be sure it will run at the speed, despite the heat, rather than risk it not working
18:23.05MysticalOSyeah, especially gigabyte boards, auto can be pretty high
18:23.10*** join/#wowace Thaoky2 (~thaoky@109.129.216.20)
18:23.22MysticalOSit autoed my 4770 to 1.4 volts for 4.3
18:23.25quiescensits not even the board
18:23.28MysticalOSwhen it's perfectly stable at 1.226
18:23.45quiescensthe voltages, as requested by the CPU, in the "turbo" states, are actually that high
18:24.48MysticalOS4790k has a weird turbo.
18:24.52MysticalOSstock, it's not true 4.4
18:25.05MysticalOSit's actually allocated factory as 44, 44, 43, 42
18:25.07MysticalOSper core
18:25.27quiescensshrug
18:25.43MysticalOSuncore wasn't raised to 4.4 either. it was left ato 4.0
18:25.59MysticalOS4770k was core/uncore 3.5, both turbo to 3.9
18:26.15MysticalOScore and uncore on 4790 are 4.0 but only 1 turbos, uncore no longer turboboosts
18:26.23quiescensi think my last pc had a cpu that was 3.5ghz at 1.35
18:27.25quiescensi ended up with like, 4.2 at 1.225 or something
18:27.56MysticalOSmy 4.6 is 100% stable but I am noticing very slight memory quirk i saw in past when the memory got irritated iwth oC over time, and it started causing weird issues like sound skipping. in past that was caused by a bug in gigabyte firmware that made memory stability fail above 1600mhz memory overclock. I hope that bug isn't back for 4790.
18:28.24MysticalOSif it is i'll just have to dial memory back down. in mean time I need to do more testing on it to be sure. maybe raise ring voltage to see if that nips it first
18:29.00quiescensmemory speed doesn't really seem to make as much difference as it used to
18:29.11quiescenscertainly compared to just having lots of it
18:29.24MysticalOSi know. it really just affects like one program i use
18:29.31MysticalOSdef a 0 gain for gaming and most regular use
18:30.02MysticalOSI def lke having a lot, I don't like having less than 32 gigs
18:30.17MysticalOSbecause surprisingly even with that much i've STILL hit paging before
18:30.25MysticalOSI can use up a lot of ram
18:30.30quiescenso.o
18:30.53MysticalOSgranted I only used up all 32 gigs once and it was because I was working in two OSes at same time and allocated 16 gigs to each
18:31.07quiescenssekretly simulating the entire planet
18:31.34MysticalOSand then, when I was done, forgot I had windows 7 open and minimized it for rest of day
18:32.05Megalonthe entire planet?
18:32.10MysticalOSat some point I was like "hmm, something is off about memory usage. oh i have an entire OS still running with 16 gigs I forgot about"
18:32.12quiescensi think most of my vm's have like, 1-2gb
18:32.28Megalonso that's like 1gig for the everyone and 31gigs quiescens death logs
18:33.54quiescens):
18:34.43MysticalOSwow right now i'm only using 7.4 gigs. that's too much free memory. i need to open more things
18:35.35quiescensmaybe just give it the night off
18:40.12MysticalOSi gave it several nights off before my 4790 arrived. the 4770 was starting to have some real thermal issues. the paste I had between die and lid (I delidded/relidded cpu) kept melting off and forming air gaps. I had to redo it once a week. My fault really. it's a good paste for heat sink but on die for some reason gets runny. I shelved that cpu for now while I want for my CLU to fix that issue and put it in another PC build at a l
18:40.12MysticalOSater time
18:41.27GnarfozI think I hl'd you about delidding
18:41.30Gnarfozdid you get that?
18:41.37Gnarfoza week or two ago
18:41.42MysticalOSnot sure
18:41.52MysticalOSI did everything right, I just had bad TIM
18:42.58Gnarfozwas about the "Ivy worse oc than Sandy" issue being caused by the IHS being too far above the die
18:43.04Gnarfozor rather, proof of it
18:43.14Gnarfozand proof that the TIM they used had no bearing on it
18:43.24MysticalOSdoesn't surprise me
18:43.39GnarfozI'll grab the link since you haven't screamed "oh I read that", yet
18:43.40Gnarfoz:D
18:43.58quiescenscrazeh *foz
18:44.07MysticalOSin all honesty ivy and haswell have been disappointments riddled with cheap manufacturing that litteraly add 15-20C to CPU
18:44.22Gnarfozwhere do you get "cheap manufacturing" from
18:44.33Gnarfoznobody knows anything about Intel's manufacturing costs
18:44.39MysticalOSbecause a proper cpu would be soldered
18:44.42Gnarfozgj repeating made-up facts
18:44.54MysticalOSthese are machined cpus with paste globbed on terribly
18:45.19MysticalOSin fact evidence shows they don't even put the paste on the die, they put it on plate then stick it to die
18:45.21Gnarfozjust because someone did that for a while for certain CPUs doesn't mean that it has to be done that way and everything else is wrong ^^
18:45.47Gnarfozanyway, as evidenced here, the TIM is not the issue: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2261855
18:46.11Gnarfozaw crap, wrong link I think
18:46.17Gnarfozthere's no mention of the paper shim >_>
18:46.31MysticalOSyeah tim itself makes little diff anyways unless it's just runny or really bad. it's that they actually use too much and i have no doubt gap is too large as you say
18:46.43MysticalOSmy 4770 had enough TIM on it for like 3 cpus
18:46.47Gnarfozah not terribly wrong link. it's in that thread. http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=34053183&postcount=570 (second link from the bottom of his "link to further posts" list)
18:47.31Gnarfozpretty ridiculous to gain (or lose, whatever) 20 °C from 0.06 mm of distance
18:48.06MysticalOSinteresting
18:48.30Gnarfozwhat res are you running wow at btw, to have such problems? or is the mac client even worse than the windows one
18:48.45MysticalOSmac client is decent, mac drivers far from it
18:48.51GnarfozI see
18:48.56quiescenshow do you know its wow
18:48.59MysticalOSthe video drivers have a lot of cpu overhead
18:49.05quiescensit could have been some other game!
18:49.19MysticalOSgranted wow is part of problem too
18:49.24GnarfozI know because... I've seen his rants :)
18:49.36quiescensspai
18:49.40Gnarfozyep
18:49.44MysticalOSapple's fault mainly. OS X supports opengl 4, but only if you use latest OS. opengl 3 but only if you are using an OS released in last 2 years
18:49.49GnarfozI know my "this game is ancient, why not 500 fps?!" issues are from way too many (and bad) addons
18:49.57Gnarfozand I'm too lazy to nuke it all and start over
18:50.05MysticalOSand blizzard being a company that likes to support games for majority users (and majority are too dumb/stuborn to upgrade) even to a free OS update
18:50.10MysticalOSwow on mac uses opengl 2
18:50.17quiescenswhy would you want to run something at 500fps
18:50.18Gnarfoz(I guess I should put such statements in past tense, haven't played since easter)
18:50.25MysticalOSlacking MANY apis that help take burden off cpu and offload to gpu
18:50.28MysticalOSas such, more cpu overhead
18:50.36Gnarfozwow on mac runs on opengl, period! :D
18:50.47Gnarfozof course, that's unfair, it's not like opengl is bad
18:50.50MysticalOSopengl in OS X is actually much better than opengl in windows

18:51.09quiescensi'm happier to not have the cpu overheat under any load o.o
18:51.11MysticalOSit's just apples OS policy is, release new OS every year, then ABANDON old one
18:51.16Gnarfozit's just that opengl is <-> direct3d, not directx
18:51.28MysticalOSan OS thats less than 2 years, EOL'd
18:51.32MysticalOSno driver updates, no bugfixes
18:51.34Gnarfozand directx being more than just direct3d is what made direct3d be where it is today
18:52.04Gnarfozquiescens: certainly, I was just making a point. I run at way fewer FPS than I should, for a game of this age. :D
18:52.57GnarfozMysticalOS: solution: close mac forums, make wow 6.0 run only on latest osx
18:52.58Gnarfoz:D
18:53.21MysticalOSthe lack of frequent driver updates, and lack of ANY support for anything but LATEST OS do to apples crap support policies means majority of mac users are on out of date OSes/drivers and as such, wow has to be catered to old apis that drastically lower mac performance
18:53.23Gnarfozalso, release linux client, but that's besides the point :D
18:53.26Kalrothno no no, leave mac forums open, i'd want to read the drama
18:53.41Gnarfozyou've spent too much time on EJ, Kalroth
18:53.46MysticalOSi think they are nearing that point. handholding stuborn users has always been hard because upgrading had a cost
18:53.47Gnarfozit has changed you
18:53.53MysticalOSnow that apple OS updates are FREE, there is literally no excuse
18:54.03Kalrothi havent visited EJ in quite a while now :)
18:54.08Gnarfozthe damage is done
18:54.21GnarfozMysticalOS: does bnet agent exist on osx
18:54.22KalrothI'd rather blame SA then
18:54.25MysticalOS10.10 is also going to be free.
18:54.33MysticalOSyes, and agent is just as terrible on OS X
18:54.34Gnarfozdoes it run with rooooooooot powers?
18:54.39MysticalOSno
18:54.40Gnarfozshame
18:54.44Kalrothdoes it come with a free backdoor?
18:54.47Gnarfozcould just force-upgrade everyone.
18:55.03quiescensi'm sure that would go over well
18:55.25Gnarfozthey could use the backdoors integrated into iOS to take control of Macs when plugged in! or something.
18:55.42MysticalOS10.9 actually had fastest adoption rate ever. in fact apple was throwing it in MSes face because, windows 8 lol
18:55.49Gnarfozquiescens: they're second-rate citizens already, doesn't make it much worse :D
18:56.09Gnarfozadoption rates are nice, since you usually measure them in percent
18:56.14Gnarfoznot in actual installs :>
18:56.18Kalrothcomparing your OS to Windows 8 does you no favors though
18:56.22MysticalOShowever, blizzards surveys if they even show 5% of users on like 10.6 or 10.7, they stubornly won't move on
18:56.37MysticalOSbottom line more important than performance
18:56.41Gnarfozis blizzard's hw survey data available somewhere, like Steam's?
18:56.41quiescenspeople don't update macs, they just buy a new one
18:56.42MysticalOSalways been that way
18:57.07MysticalOSthat's also quite true, i used to like mac hardware, when the mac pro wasn't a non expandable trashcan
18:57.24MysticalOSnow I build beast PCs and hackintosh them.
18:57.35MysticalOShalf the price twice the performance
18:57.48GnarfozI'm still trying to come to grips with how bad our datacenter move is going so far :D

18:59.22Repo- Dandelion Frolicker: Added NPC 71823 to the list of NPCs. Apparently when you leave combat, Scary Sprites have their ID changed from 71826 to 71823, which is the same ID as the Nice Sprites, although the corpses continue to carry the name Scary Sprite.

19:01.11quiescens*foz is transferring the data by punchcard
19:01.22Gnarfozat least that would be reliable
19:08.19Gnarfozso far, Hitachi has tried *twice* to ship our new SAN to the wrong place (our offices, instead of our new DC in a different town), and too early, because our space in the DC won't be ready for another two weeks (which is a date that has also moved at least once so far). The company we contracted for our network setup is basically useless (recommended/ordered wrong switches for our requirements, also, missing rack rails... good thing the
19:08.20Gnarfozcorrect switches will take another 2 weeks anyway). I wonder what's going to go wrong in the other areas like power distribution, physical access...
