60-65 C in stress or while playing seems pretty much normal for any GPU.

Nyah, unless you GPU is around 80-90 C you should be fine.
Getting 65 C on idle tho could be a bit worrying.

I have a problem. I have electric baseboard heaters and my computer is adjacent to the heater. Now its not huge issue for temps as much as it is for the wiring since i had to plug things into an outlet above the heater. Is there anything I can buy that will prevent the heat from damaging or melting the cables I have plugged into the outlet? Due to space constraints I cannot use a different outlet.

You're fine. Just keep checking the temperatures once in a while, but seriously, getting over 60 C is normal. Myself I'm getting around 65 too while playing SC2.

Going to change hardware and do a fresh install of Windows (8.1 64bit)
Will booting from an USB3.0 (NTFS) stick work for Win8.1?

Mobo is an ASUS Z77 with an UEFI-BIOS
8gb USB3.0 Stick (NTFS formatted)

I know that is probably a stupid question, but I normally did installs from a DVD or USB2.0 sticks so far...

Yes it should work. If all else fails, you can just plug it into the USB2 port.

You need to format it FAT32, not NTFS.

UEFI boot requires FAT32. Your UEFI-BIOS will boot the NTFS stick in legacy BIOS mode and the Windows installation program will not put the UEFI partitions and boot loader on the drive when installing Windows.

Your target drive, you need to use GPT partitioning instead of MBR. This is needed for UEFI to fully work regarding that Fast Boot and Secure Boot stuff of Windows 8.

Is there any way to test one's connection to a server? I live in NA, but would like to play on the KR server, is there a way to see how much lag there will be without actually playing a game?


You can always ping the starcraft 2 servers, but a rather reliable and faster way is to use pingtest: http://www.pingtest.net/

Just pick Seul as your server of choice and see how much ping you get. Should be the same or at least very similiar to the ping you'll get when playing on KR.


Oh cool. What is the server address?

A reference card is the stock design from Nvidia and AMD. Non-reference is where the manufacturers makes changes to that design. Most low-end cards use a reference PCB with a non-reference heatsink.

65c is cold for a GPU, r9 290x's are tuned to run at 95c 24/7

If you mean right now in a specific game, set of settings etc - the immediate tell is looking at CPU usage of each core, as well as GPU usage. If one or all CPU cores are at high or near max usage and GPU is not maxed, CPU bound

If your FPS goes up by turning down resolution, GPU bound

Sc2 is often gpu bound on higher settings at the start of a game (where fps can rise to 500+ otherwise) but by intense lategames or midgame 2v2 with four people at high supply, the CPU can only run the game at 50 or 100fps or whatever and the GPU spends a lot of time idling because it has no frames to render

There was Jinro reporting something that sounds similar about his blue switch mech keyboard when he was still an SC2 pro. There was apparently no solution for him other than not using the keyboard anymore. I don't know where to find the comments.

The way I remember that problem described, it showed up when playing with too high APM.

Blue switch keyboards have a higher release point than actuation point, which can be awkward since it requires you to let the key return more fully before it can be pressed again.

The bigger problem with the original blueswitch blackwidow (they fixed it in later versions) was that it had horrendous rollover, for instance if you were to press 1a2a3a really quickly, the '2' key would not register if the 3 key was pressed and vice versa.

Something like that, been a while.

Heya Jinro! Yea, 2kro with blue switches as you described actually sounds like a nightmare. I knew it used to be 2kro but didn't anticipate issues like that
