EVE General Discussion

Can you overclock a PC?

Would you say this is a skill you had to learn and be knowledgable about to make best use of it for your PC?

I most definitely agree and was awaiting this argument so I could reply it with:

When I buy a 3ghz cpu running 3000mhz I expect it to run that speed when I install it into my motherboard.

Not when I buy something I have to wait X amount of time before I figure out how to OC it.

If I wanted to play an OC simulator I would go back to doing plastic surgery on boobs.

But with an understanding of electronics you can make the default hardware perfom better due to your own individual knowledge, you don't have to follow factory defaults.

Same with ships in EvE.

Interesting notion. Variable cpu and pg improvements to either ships or mods.

Maybe suggest it as a new feature to CCP. Might get some mileage assuming individual stats recording on items and application wouldnt be a huge game re-balancer, requiring a huge game retest, larger database, rewrite of repackaging, understanding of devalued skills etc. Be a useful extra isk sink however if implemented as an NPC service.

That and or be able to ACTUALLY overclock hardware yourself by tuning and synchronizing processor, memory and bus speed frequencies yourself.

It would teach people actual information and give them RL applicable experience. One of the reasons I find EVE to be interesting to begin with. Metaphors with RL content.



I would suggest skilling up on posting comments with content, then get back to us.

Thank you for your reply. I can tune in with that science fiction role play aspect.

I love the CPU thing, but then I HATE IT! I love it 'cause you can't just get away with anything. It's one area that makes you make up your mind. You can have this. You can have that, but you can't have both. I hate it 'cause, dammit, I want it all!! NOW!!!

Traning times I've always been impressed with...the idea of it. It's an inventive way to ensure incremental development over time, and it forces you to use the little grey cells to get the most from your time.

Were it not for these two things, CCP would have made all your decisions for you. Where's the agonizing...er...FUN in that? Also, when I finally get that skill trained to V, and can fit that ship the way I had in mind, I take more pride and get a bigger charge from that than anything else I've ever done in my gaming life...except for the four-move checkmate...as long as it's not against a four-year-old.

Viva CPU! Viva training queueueueueue!!!

Well I suppose you'd need to consider all the interdependancies of intergration.

Maybe it shouldnt be treated as an individual item arrangement tweak based on that understanding. But as a final tweak to a set configuration. So in this sense similar to rigs, you build up a fit and then can slightly tweak it. And if you then change any mod you lose that fin etuning service or change?

But that seems a bit cart before the horse due to how fits work with limitations. So how you could fine tune something that wouldnt normally be a valid fit to make it fit would need to be considered carefully for ease of user interface and understanding I guess. If anything for user freindliness in a spaceship game.

Fit an armour tank. Problem solved.

so, just for comparison ... how long does it actually take to get all the purple sparkle fittings so you can be ~elite PVE~ in that other MMO?
