The back rub and massage sound good but will you take this damned flu away too? :)

Quote - Nothing like some TLC to recover from the flu :) Hope you are feeling better now.

Still all aching muscles and stuffy nose, getting better very slowly though.  :)

Been struck down with flu all week so I've not been very active with daz lately, got bored of sitting in bed watching tv yesterday though, here's the latest...

Enjoy,

Abi.

Guess he is, compared to me

Well, looking at your profile pic you do look a little pale.  hehe

Pretty sexy too ;)

Quote - Doh...I think it must be my mainboard monitoring software causing the throttle.  I moved back to AMD overdrive and the throttle problem has gone. 

I ordered a 13 pro anyway, plus a 14cm Viper s-flow fan to replace the case top exhaust.

In the bios, disable amd cool & quiet, c1e, c6 state etc, if you are overclocking as they can all effect the stability, one of those is causing the throttling.

My 8120 @4.6ghz has an Koolance CPU-360 waterblock, Laing DDC pump, XSPC dual bay resi and a 480x120 radiator, running occt (stress test) after 5 hours core temps read 48°c, cpu (socket) temp 59°c (max stated temp is 62° for the fx chip).  My 965's all have XSPC RASA waterlocks, DDC pumps, XSPC dual bay resi's and 360x120 radiators - not really checked the full load temps on them though.  Needless to say, I won't be neading the central heating swithed on this winter!

What are you using for cooling? I've noticed core temp is touching 70C at full load, since Win7 was optimised for the FX-81xx processors.  

Mild overclock to 4.2 ghz with artic cooler 7.

I thought it was win8 that's been built to use the architecture of the FX?  I've got an 8120 @4600mhz, custom water loop.

Abi.

Normally I'm not tech jealous, but 4.6ghz makes me drool. Wee little bit.

Not jealous cough 

hehe, i also have 3 phenom x4 965BE's @4.2ghz ready when lux needs a helping hand ;)

My latest nightmare (lighting noise was horrendous)...

P.s.  Thanks John for the lights :D

Been doing a bit of promo work...

P.s.  Loving the 1.1 weekly build, the importance brush is fantastic - the picture glass wuld have taken ages to clear without it!

If that is Coventry, then I'm living in the wrong country!

hehe, She was on holiday, if you look real carefully you can just make out blackpool tower in the background!   Coventy doesn't have many piers, mainly due to the fact that it's in the middle of the country.

Quote - Oh, ok, but I thought 1.1 was the latest, I just DL'ed it this morning.

I think 1.1 is the latest stable build, 1.2 is a beta - I've not had any issues with it so far though.

Abi.

Quote - There is no "refine brush" anywhere

I'm not sure if it's in the 1.1 build or if its just part of the weekly test build...

(I think it's actually part of lux 1.2)

Abi.

You beat me to it Bob!

Quote - I am trying the refine pen. I have selected the noisy areas highlited them and applied importance pen. I dont see anything in my log that reflects this being done. What am I missing how does one know how much pen strength to add and why one would subtract the pen?

my method on my previous pic was...

select importance pen, cranked the sliders to half (cause I don't know any better), draw the areas to take importance (the picture frame), click apply.

The results did show fairly quickly, the original render I ran I stopped because the main image was nice and clean but the picture was so noisy you could hardly see the image, re-ran it using the method above and the picture cleared up much quicker than the rest of the image.

I'd guess the subtract pen is to lower the importance of parts, for example if you have part of an image that is not going to improve with further passes, you can tell lux to leave that part and concentrate on the rest of the scene.

Hth,

Abi.
