I just realized it has a cross hair. I guess that comes up when you replay a recorded demo and then I used XFire to record the recorded demo.

Oh I misunderstood. Good, let me know how this turns out. I have the same one 750W CX 80 PLUS.

The ARTIC had quad rails, a single rail is much better for load distribution than a multi rail. A high performance single rail has more stability than a multi rail.

If you still have a choice to cancel the order I highly recommend you get the CORSAIR. It's a trust worthy brand, cheap PSUs come at a price and lose efficiency much faster than quality PSUs. 60G is plenty but you may run out sooner than say 100GB. I have a 120GB SSD that I use as my boot OS for Windows 8.1. I have 65.6 GB free after 1 month of installations.

Take a look at the choices here, do not cheap out on PSUs. I know UK is expensive because of all the taxes but if you've to pick, go for 80 PLUS certified. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_11?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=corsair%20psu&sprefix=corsair+psu%2Caps%2C486 Although I recommend the 750W this 600W may also be good enough for you. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CX750-Builder-Series-Bronze/dp/B008RJZR40/ref=sr_1_9?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1412149089&sr=1-9&keywords=corsair+psu

I just remember your mobo died cause you shipped your fully assembled system across the country through regular shipping. You do know the conveyor belt used by the shipping companies movies at 40mph and they don't slow it down on the corners. The boxes hit, and bump in to each other. Also, I don't recall if you ever tried a different PSU to verify if it was just the mobo. Your case is way different than his. I just remembered this as I was going back on this thread to see if I missed any detail. @@eidolonFIRE.

Found a good article on Hit Detection/Input Prediction. It explains how some times we can empty an entire clip in to someone, they would never know it and you would be frustrated as hell. This happened to me today on a very small map. Scripter was on the stairs camping our spawn, I ran in the dark behind a counter and emptied an entire clip in to him. I went full burst half way thru then adjusted my aim again and went small bursts nothing fucking happened. He didn't even look at me. I reloaded and just went full AUTO and got the kill. My lagometer showed no red spikes I didn't check Scripter's ping though. Anyways, a snippet of interest from the article below. Source: http://www.se7ensins.com/forums/threads/networking-lag-compensation-and-hit-detection.1125018/ "You shoot at the guy on the left, because that's what you see. However the target is moving to the right. You aim, and shoot. Your console/PC sends your position, direction, and the fact that you shot to the server. Now lets say that you have a latency of something nuts like 200 ms. By the time that your command reaches the host/server, the target has moved to the spot on the right. But if the game utilizes the data exactly as you sent it, then it would register as a miss because there's no player there now. This is where Lag Compensation comes into play. Lag compensation effectively "rewinds time." It digs through its memory for a game state that matches the client's information and implements it under those conditions. This accounts for latency, interpolation, and anything else that creates a time delay that the game can manage to quantify." Therefore, those who have a ping of 300ms or higher, thank you for playing but FUCK your ping. Giving you the stink eye @@Nighto , the stink eye.

When I had similar issues with my PC, there were 2 things causing this. #1. My memory timings in the BIOS and the voltage to the memory. I was getting all kinds of BSODs, everytime a differente hardware driver file. I suspected my GPU so I tried a couple different GPUs problem didn't go away. Ultimately I ran memtest+ test number 5. Found the artifacts and then found the proper timing voltage relationship with trial and error. #2. My PSU was not of superior quality and had high varying voltage on the +12V rail (e.g. 12.5 12.7 11.99). The current amperage rating was at 35A and if I would overclock there were stability issues. It would crashes whenever I would run heavy tasks but they were random so there wasn't a pattern I could relate to it. Ultimately the PSU died, I bought a nice $90+ PSU (62A, 12.5V solid) and I can overclock my system to 4.0GHz no issues. It stays stable doesn't give any more random BSODs. When a system gets old, the first thing in it to die of old age is the PSU. Followed by spinning HDDs, followed by anybody's guess but likely audio or video card. The motherboard PCB is sensitive to flexing. If you move your motherboard and at any point it bent even the slightest that will most certainly compromise the internal circuitry of the PCB layer. Your CPU going off like that is a 1 in 100 million shot. The manufacturing process for CPUs makes it very hard to build CPUs that would just die that unless of course abused. Go in the BIOS and watch voltage on the +12V rail see if it fluctuates. By the way my PSU that died was 3.5-4 years old.

He now finds you weirder than me. Women are expensive man, they take the peace out of your life one piece at a time. Financial strain, mental strain, if only you could create one on a computer and print it with a 3D printer, with a silence mode option... LMAO!

You're shady man, very shady.

Correct. Apart from network lag, there are localized lag injections to be considered. CPU, GPU Rendering (negligible), Display input lag (ms) + Screen Refresh. In BF4 I noticed that when my CPU is OC'ed to 4.0Ghz. The number 2 seconds is very high, the localized lag would be in milliseconds and anything totaling over 100ms would be a serious disadvantage to the player. Add network lag on top of it, and I mean the connection interrupts not the ping to the server itself. An average 60Hz monitor refreshes the screen 60 times per second that means your screen image is refreshed every 16.67ms. If your screen refresh rate is 5ms. This 5ms is the time it takes for all the pixels to be updated with the new bitmap. Add this to the 16.67ms and then the actual time it takes to display a new bitmap on your screen is 21.67ms. This does not take in to account the input lag, your GPU sends the updated image to your monitor but the monitor needs time to process and do the above mentioned actions. The time to do this processing may be in parallel to the screen image update time. For the fastest TN panel its around 7-8ms. Believe it or not this difference in msecs adds up and makes all the difference in "I got shot before I could even see them." You twitchy bunny don't flatter yourself, haha. Actually the most fun for me to watch is @@JAH, he is like an action hero in a cartooned movie, and yes you're pretty fun to spectate too. On a separate note, studying one's game play gives you insight and you can predict their movements. It's very fun to do.

I don't trust you.

The foreplay has been censored, and it was all consensual. http://youtu.be/zho_QwnDkMQ

It's the PSU. Clean power can make all the difference in a stable and unstable system.

Why don't you enlighten us, all knowing almighty ?

Is his Birthday a joke?

If you don't read the subtitles you can never tell what's going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIU47eZqUzE

What's the IP, I didn't know about it.

Fine, l was hacking. Stay negative! Edit - 9/28 4:47AM : I will PM you @@Angel.

Those are compliments S@lty, I will soon write an iBoomBoom's guide to compliments. I will refer you to that, haha! I am never mad when I get killed, when I yell or call people names its simply trash talking. I won't be offended if you mute me, honest. I know where everyone is, I am amazingly magical that way . Explanation: In the round before that one you were in that bunker one of the last few of your team, taking out my teammates as they approached the door. Between my teammates reducing bubbles and the corner of the door, I saw your feet and shot my tube. Upon your death you uttered "ofc". I know the feeling wasn't mutual but I enjoyed it, since it was someone formidable that I took out. That kill gave me a car. I used as soon as I came out of spawn protection. The timer is equal for everyone, so I assure you you were very visible when you decided to run to the same spot and I tried to blow up the car on you. Stealth perk has nothing to do with this. My running and using the car in that direction was completely random, so was your spawning I think. When I tried to blow up the car, it showed me the Hardwired (aka Eavesdrop) icon. This is where psychology comes in, how people think and do things. When we have success, we try to do the same things to achieve similar results. I guessed with a 7% probability of success that it is you, since you were there last round. So knowing you can hear me, I enticed you without any certainty that is indeed you. I was hoping you would say something so I can be sure. I do it to {ESC} Bas too when he is sniping from the usual spots. I kept chasing you, because It's more of a challenge to kill someone who is using Hardwired and trying to evade you than someone who isn't. To put it simply, I guessed its you but I didn't know until you were killed. Hope that gives you closure, and of course I am amazing , haha. Gooney and I play this game all the time when we are in opposite teams. I try to find him with my car or missile and vice versa. It is very gratifying when you're right.

jiggle jiggle jiggles yeah.... I am sorry A few weeks ago I was speccing more and playing less, personal reasons. I have been playing more this week. Figured I address it since you brought it up as you were probably not alone in noticing that. It is addiciting figuring out how people think when they play. Its like mind fucking without any commitments, hahah.

Me spectating that's the highlight you get from all that I wrote? Idiots, Xtreme Idiots! !fu @Giggles I did, it was scary I ran back in.

What's wrong with spectating, it is by definition watching stuff happen. How people play or for that matter conversing on it is a form of entertainment in itself. People watch sports, and comment about game play. I watch COD4 and comment on the players, the whole point is entertainment, no?

I am certain I will get a lot of flak from all across the spectrum for saying what I am about to say. I think we have too many people whining and complaining about all sorts of things in the game. Before I even list the issues I am guilty of doing the same but I think it ruins the game play and it should change as it creates an unhealthy environment. To be clear, I am speaking specifically about the in-game chat. It is understood and normal to be upset when you get shot. It is equally important that instead of trying to blame this on something you accept it as a reality of the game and keep playing. Raging is amateur and childish. There is a very clear distinction between trash-talking banter for amusement vs just "bitching". Actually, a second thought its not so obvious to everyone. Lag Fair enough, but deal with it you cannot fix it by complaining. CIs Fair and known issue, again not much you can do in-game Blown up by car Typical responses "w/e", "bs" - I am sure you feel different when you do that to others. Camping It's part of the game, it sucks to be shot by someone who does not move much but it is fair. You can do the same if you like. Fuck you Nighto/Monika. Hacking This one comes in all shapes and sizes, however, I would like to state a few things. - High kills low death count does not implicitly mean someone is hacking. Explanation: You find a good spot to camp, where its hard for people to get to you and you pick them off. Some notable players who are good at finding spots in maps Nighto, @@GoOney, @@Ripper, @@iFlysoHi etc. It is one example of achieving a very high KDR. In this game people generally rush and that's why you get shot so often, you've to be strategic with your movement. - Where did I get shot from? Explanation: It happens to me a lot especially from players like Mexican, @@GoOney, @@ReaPeR, sometimes even from unusual offenders. M16A is a very powerful and accurate weapon. All anyone has to do is get one good shot on you (pixel) and then hide real quick before you show up in your bubble. If they have the Dead Silence perk, it tends to hide the flash from the bullet, that's my working theory. In this way, you have no idea where the bullet came from and the best you can do is make approximations from the bullet sound direction right before you died. Not everyone is very good at figuring it out and not everyone gets it right all the time either. - How did you know I was there? Explanation: Your mother told me, j/k. This one I think reflects badly on the one complaining than the one who got the kill. It just speaks to the lack of situational awareness you have in-game. The only two people who baffle me some times are 'kilmaley' & '@@TaGg3r'. How people usually know is by sound, and your ability to tell direction from virtual surround. This is mostly true for Urban maps. A few other things to consider are, shadows, teammates looking at you, hardwired, intel, UAV, and seeing someone run up in there. - I was invisible how were you following me? Explanation: You may be running in your spawn protection but unless you're using Dead Silence perk you are making a sound. Pro-mod players have fine tuned ears for sound tracking. It's just as real as cow dung itself. I am personally not that good with sound so I am not really able to track any invisible person. If I get a shield by shooting in clear space I keep hip-fire spamming until they appear. It works 1 out of 100 times for me, mostly I just run out of ammo. - How can you see thru smoke/grass etc? Explanation: Smoke, well, when the smoke is new or dying off, your shadowy figure may appear. Other times, people spam in the general direction of the last know location. Also, random shots contribute to this too. As far as trees go, this puzzled me too. I often get shot from someone while I am buried in grass or behind thick tree leaves. I have not figured out the tree leaves part yet. IMO hacking or unfair advantage claims may be legit, I have no proof though. I actually got kicked by Punkbuster while trying to find proof. (Murphy you remember when I got kicked for lodscalerigid? that's what that was) For the grass I found out that your graphics card's rendering process and available VRAM has a lot to do with it. On NVidia graphics cards, it doesn't render the entire effects of the field on a very large shrubbery map. So if you're lying prone in open grass, someone on the other side of the map will see lying on flat in open ground. Just to find proof, I bought a GTX760 and tested it. My actual GFX card is AMD 270x. There may be other issues/concerns that I may have missed, please post back and I will try to best explain it as I understand. The whole point to this post is that the moment someone starts getting shot a few times by the same player, they tend to judge on their expectation of how things ought to be. There are people who do fishy things on our server no doubt, and we should be vigilant to ensure an enjoyable gaming environment. At the same time, this whole culture of complaining and calling people hackers, apart from when you mean it as a compliment, has created an unhealthy server. Just because someone is doing better than you, does not mean its impossible to be that good with legit ways. Flooding admins with complaints about things that can be logically explained just creates a frustrating atmosphere. Some people are competitive in game and they try their best to be on top, others like @@Unchileno do it for the sake of pure enjoyment. Bottom line: Quit complaining, improve your game. [Yes, you have my permission to hate me for saying this, hater] General Tip: Your weapon kit loadout, and your killstreak selection plays a big role in how well you do in a game. Recourse Instead of starting a keyboard war in the game, I suggest you take it to the forums. If you suspect something fishy, go to spec, record and submit to an admin. Use the /record GameDemo command in the console, activated by ~ operator. P.S. The names mentioned above are of people whom I have had personal experience playing with and I understand their game play.

Well, I use the predator sometimes to defrost people, especially if I am the last one left...so basically I aim at someone and start defrosting...I don't know I have mixed feelings. I can dodge the SAM missile with a little effort. I basically turn up my sensitivity and fly the predator like a plane. It used to be much more flexible, I could go around the map in circles but now there is gravitational effect and it declines. I guess you tuned it or something to that effect.
