Chuck BC2 on it, even my 5770 can do BF2 at 1680x1050 16xAA/AF forced through CCC.
Make sure to use the multicpu flag for that hexacore you got yourself.

Put +fullproc in a shortcut.
It needs to be some real ancient POS if it doesn't automatically use multiple cores. In which case no flag can make it multithreaded anyway.

At least when I was playing BC2 it only utilised 2 cores until I used that flag, then all 4 cores were loaded. Maybe got patched out.
I haven't done shit to BC2 and it runs on all cores of my i7.Finray wrote:

BC2 was made for Quads
DICE proved this by having to release a fix within a week of release to make the game run properly on dual-cores

You think BF2 is even using all of my six cores? I doubt it, just curious what you guys say.
No because BF2 doesn't support multi-threading therefore only one core is utilized.CapnNismo wrote:

Were you playing the beta?Finray wrote:

If so, that makes sense. If not, it does fuck all. It was a beta fix with functionality removed from the release version, as far as I am aware.
That's what I thought. Rather lame, too, considering that pretty much everyone had a dual core back then..Sup wrote:

Thats nothing, STALKER games are still single threaded.CapnNismo wrote:

C2D was released in 2006
Can't say Dual-Cores were that popular before C2D tbh... I remember going from a P4 to a C2D
Well isn't the engine code ~8 years old by now?GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Whoa, BF2 was 2005? I thought it was newer than that. My bad.

Accelero's mounting was bent like shit, fixed that. Also the old thermal paste was all over the GPU chips arounds (not good btw) so cleaned that too. Put some better paste there and decent fan. She's all good now.

Eh, the NF-P12 is arguably the worst fan you could put on an Accelero S1. Should've gone with an S12B.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
P12 is heatsink fan, S12B is case fan and doesn't move shit air if there is anything on its way.Freezer7Pro wrote:

That's the point. The Accelero is supposed to be passive, it offers very little air resistance. Just look at the spacing between the fins.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

If I wanted it to be passive it wouldn't have a fan.

So why exactly is the P12 the worst fan you could put on an Accelero? Because it moves large quantities of air? Because its an overkill or what?
I never said that you should run it passively, I said that its original intent was to be passive; thus the lack of proper fan mounts.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

The point I'm making is that the P12 is un-necessarily powerful for the cooler. You need almost no pressure at all to push air through it. If you had a spare one, I suppose it's better to use it than most other fans, but a S12B would be yet a better option.

Only thing better about the S12B is that it would be tad more quiet. That argument goes to bust as soon as you figure out there are 2 1450rpm Scythes on the Megahalems.Freezer7Pro wrote:

That, and that it's usually a tad cheaper. If you don't care about noise, either will work, of course. Both are great fans. Since you had a P12 lying about, it's obviously a better option than buying an S12B from an economical perspective.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:
