Vertical Sync Cpu Fan Speed

10b working fine. Excellent job Jim. One thing I do notice though is that under the display settings when wait for vertical sync is checked I'm limited to 60 fps, and fan speed is slow, and quiet. When wait for vertical sync is unchecked, and the sleep mode is set at 30 the fps is 30 fan is at high speed. Maximum fps sleep 0 is 375 fps fan is still at high speed. So it appears that vertical sync enabled is a good thing, but I'm limited to 60 fps. Just something I noticed, and I thought I would pass on. Can't wait to see whats next. Thank you so much for your hard work, and dedication to this project, and hobby. Sincerely Rusty C.

That's the way vertical sync is supposed to work. After completing the building of a frame, the program waits until the next vertical refresh of the monitor to display it. So the maximum frame rate it could ever achieve is the monitor refresh rate (usually 60 hz).

Lets start a poll on which fish Jim should do first! How about the easiest one first and then we could see it in the aquarium sooner rather than later.

Good idea, but Jim has never been swayed by public opinion.

Having an opinion is not enough. You have to put forward a persuasive and well reasoned argument as to why the opinion is a good one. Then - maybe!

Actually Rusty's point is an interesting one - why is Sleep 30 causing more fan activity than vsync? The latter is drawing twice as many frames?

Well Done.

First let me say, thank you so much Jim. When I moved up to a Vista 64 bit OS I really missed my tanks. Your creations are by far the best I have seen and as a result owned. Your attention to detail is to be applauded.

With the MA3 Beta at least I have my marine tank back and I can not wait to see the finished product. However I do miss my freshwater tank now, but hey I am grateful for what I have. Honest.

Big Grin upgrades

as a long-time lover of SS aquairum, it is my only scr. saver and having just recently upgraded to MA3 I wanted to tell you it has been a mental health vacation for me. Having just recovered from a fractured knee cap and spending a lot of time sitting with elevated leg, I spent lots of hours watching your creation for which I will be eternally grateful and I just learned I need wrist surgery so will be watching again for extended periods of time for a while....so naturally I am quite interested in when or how new developments will be released...as upgrade all at once or as updates.
IF this has already been discussed sorry for asking again, looked thru lots of posts and didn't see it....love being able to see framework too!

THANKS FOR ALL THE HARD WORK, keeps this 70 yr old lady entertained on bad days.

Sorry to hear about your trials lately and we hope that you get through them well.

As for the updates, any time Jim has something new for everyone to see a new version will be announced in this thread. Keep an eye out there and when something shows up plenty of discussion will probably be happening as well.

As for the rest, I think I have seen you playing in our arcade at times . I hope you are enjoying the games and that they help to pass the time. That's what they are there for.

Again, best wishes for your recovery................

Welcome to the Forum, luv.swans.

I'm currently working on new 3D models for all the fish, which will be necessary for more elaborate movements. I always dreaded doing this, and it is proving to be just as difficult as I thought it would. Also, the fan on my video card went out a couple of days ago. A new one is on the way, but for now I'm limited to just having the computer on for a few minutes at a time.

WOW. No matter how you slice it, that sucks. What you can do in the mean time is take the side of your case off and have a fan blowing in your case. I had to do that a while ago when my cpu fan died. That's when I went to water cooled.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Water-cooled - that's a good idea. I'll go get the hose...

Don't suppose you've tried oil on the fan bearing? ... Works every time for me...

I did that, but it's only a short term solution. The fan's still coughing at me every now and again.

Meanwhile, I'm intrigued at the idea of Jim installing a hose into his PC. Does this mean he's gonna have fish swimming around his household water supply now?
