Finally after so many attempts, we finally got the Lich King down in 25. It was a pain in the ass with all the things that have happened but this isn’t a time to make excuses. We ended up beating the encounter with 24 (had a few attempts at 23), had no shadowpriest and no boomkin. What does this mean? We’re recruiting dammit! The recruiting needs are updated  daily so please check it out.

For those who own Nvidia based GPUs, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR DRIVERS TO 196.75. There are cases all over the internet where overheating causes the GPU to completely burn out because the software controlling the cooling fan is messed up. It is never really advisable to update drivers without waiting for followups and further public testing ESPECIALLY since this is not the first time for Nvidia. Sadly some of you already got hit by this issue and will have to RMA your card to the company your video card belongs to. Remember the saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fucking touch it.

The problem seems to be related to the fan controller, causing the fans to slow down, and even stop. This happening while the card is in use is a very bad thing indeed, and can cause poor performance (as the GPU tries to cool itself down by reducing power) and possibly even overheat your GPU to the point where the card stops working.

Farewell Lich King, you was a pretty cool guy and….oh right…. see you next time in hard mode! Thanks for sticking it out and swiftly defeating the encounter this week. All that remains of course is the normal 25 kill and then knock out the hard modes so don’t quit ’till then you bastards.
