Some fun and not so fun times at the MSI forum

[Hippie Tech]

Greetings World

A few days after I began to mine with my new MSI R7870, I began to wonder if downclocking the gpu's memory is really as safe as it seems. So I started a thread asking that question on the MSI forum and for whatever reason I got jumped by some all knowing moderator and his/her sidekick.

They could not, or would not, comprehend anything I had to say about my experiences with the downclocked memory and how it improved the system's overall mining performance. The mod then banned me for 3 days after reading my pm, complaining about my thread being locked.

Was this treatment politically motivated or did I bruise someone's fragile ego ?

Wow, that forum sucks. So much fail

This thread will be locked. Mind your words next time or we have to take further action

Lolwut? You post some screenshots and explain things and the reply is this??

And what they say is false, reducing memory clock here lower my GPU temperature a lot->i can overclock it more or keep the same overclock with a lower temperature.

Nooooooo !! xD

Plz don't say that. I just made my first whole bitcoin. ahahah

"There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind..."

I made that noooberous quote up on the spot. Do you think that did it ?

I am as dumbfounded as you are. They never looked it up and even tried to misrepresent what I had said and what the screenies were showing.

Unless MSI and/or it's forum apologizes for allowing that kind of behaviour, I will not be posting again there any time soon.

Or... a second or third R7870 will help to ease my pain. :p

Please know that I am not here to bash MSI or its products. The R7870 TFIII is a powerhouse and judging by the STUPIDLY low temps, this MSI gpu is STUPIDLY efficient. So far, I've had it as high as 1230mhz on the core, 440 mhash/s, stock 1.218v. and +5% Power limit. wooot wooot !

One hears all this bla bla about how the internet is so "democratic".  It is bullshit.  It is lord of the flies out here.

"flobelix" is an idiotic feeble minded twat. Underclocking video memory most certainly does lower overall card temperatures. You should seek out the global moderator of that forum, and have his moderator status revoked for not knowing what the fuck he's talking about.

Thats the 3rd time that has happened to me in 2.5 years. Amd game > Sapphire > Msi forums... The Sapphire mod was a real nut.

Your flag is upside down.

MSI has great customer service in Canada... turn around time on motherboard replacement is like 3 days...

My flag is upside down because I am not proud of my country.

How many will your country enslave, occupy and bomb today ?

We're a nation of drunken wannabe porn star prescription junkies.

There is nothing civil about discrediting misinformation. History has shown force and hostility are the only effective methods. Enjoy living under your rock, though.

@ kwoody
If your 'model' includes repeating the past's mistakes, then yes, force and hostility are quite effective at that.

Well I think our current government is a joke yes.... any other government we'll end up with, will be the same as the previous........ Any government will continue to do what the large corporations want them to do.

Can you tell I can't seem to figure out this multi quote system ? lol

The constant here is, the top down mentality. We need to stop voting, paying our taxes.. just boycott them all.

Plz say NO to tv. xD

[AndrewBUD]
