Woah! Rail road tycoon and elite 2 on Steem!

I do steemmonsters and eosknights... But for real gaming, currently XCom2, Stellaris, project zomboid, south Park, the fractured but whole and BattleTech... Depends on which computer I've got at hand and also how in depth I'm feeling... But a terribly long steam backlog...

Sort:  

That would be awesome but I doubt it!

XCOM2, my bro is a big fan since the Amiga days there. My laptop heats up like crazy with Elite - I miss my rig :(

Do you underclock your laptop cpu/gpu? You can get better performance by slowing it down to avoid thermal throttling.

hmmm, interesting. I don't do that but maybe I should.

The laptop runs cooler without the charge cable plugged in, but Elite will drain a full charge in no time. So yeah, maybe I need to tell things to chill the f out with the power plugged in...

Sorry, I meant to say undervolt!

Are you sure you don't mean unbolt? :D

I have played with overclocking in the past, but not undervolting or on a laptop, I'm a bit scared.

Actually, it is much safer than overclocking or overvolting. Basically, you are feeding the CPU as little power as possible to remain stable. If it fails, then it resets but you can't damage it, unlike overclocking.

'undervolting' the gpu, is basically getting it to run faster than the voltage provided would be guaranteed stable for.
