wanna trade neuro? my immune system is failing, i have fucking pink eye >:U
And btw u should see my internal cooling system. it's out of this world.
that's gross you're gross
get a new keyboard, you can get a new one twice as good as that for like fifteen bucks (US)
... does the word "buck" imply that is is US dollars? Does any other country use "bucks" as slang for currency?
No Germans say "Coal" or "Mice" :XD:Quote:

The Cooling System

And the Back-up cooling system
Wow. I'm too much of a perfectionist, but even if I weren't, I don't think I'd be able to leave my computer like that. Seriously, why do you need to do your cooling that way? I don't see any reason it would produce enough heat to justify anything other than a front and back fan.
MAYBE IF YOU CLEANED THAT DAMN HEATSINK YOU WOULDN'T NEED ALL THAT CRAP.Quote:

i dont know if u guys have realised but it gets fucking hot in australia :fail:
my computers all ready over heating. the milk cartons and coke bottles are just for controling the air flow to head over the CPU :D!
2 years ago it over heated and i burnt out my 6800. and i only had it for a week ;_;
...wow...Quote:

When you combine the heat from the tank, the humidity and the crazy hot of australia there isnt alot i can do. When i get the new comp i'm gunna get water cooling and it should help me :)
Till then the milk carton does what it was ment to do, and the air is forced to travel over the CPU :)
Wow, great job completely ignoring that. CLEAN OUT THE HEAT SINK.
it wont make a difference Zet
I get the exact same thing, and I've cleaned mine out.
You guys have no idea what the heat is like in Oz. I mean, we don't even get snow ffs. Only like once ever which was sometime this year (global warming hurr) but only like 1 city got the snow.
Living in Houston I think I have an ideaQuote:

In California it's finally fucking cooling down, its currently 60 degrees fahrenheit (18 C) outside. A couple weeks ago it was in the 100's Fahrenheit xD.
I live in CA, too, and I can vouch for this. Forecast is rain for tomorrow.
Thank God. I love the rain. The recent cool weather is a really nice change.
I like Canada, inclement weather, not to hot, not to cold (except those gay days in winter where it drops to like -40 degrees Celsius). I actually ripped out the water cooling system from this PC and went back to air last week, put the water cooler in my server, since it's been overheating lately.
When did this change to a weather thread?
you bumped the thread to complain about a possible thread de-railment?
wtf, thats worse.
Whoops. didn't recognize the date before me.

Rob, thats like the 8th time I've seen your pic on these forums. Are you obsessed with it or did that cat really piss you off and your posting to show everyone they should hate it too?
lol, i just thought it was quite something to see. Too bad I don't have an animated version of it. It's really pretty. The colors are constantly changing in this slow hypnotic fashion. Or were, I guess. It's been in a box for a while now.
Here, have it again.

It's like so many works of art- it's tragically beautiful.
So far my new comp is running great, except I can't get it to overclock past 2.75Ghz without being unable to POST. I think someone said there is a hole in the FSB between 1500 and 1650 in this board, so I need to find out. Because people get this processor up to 3.2 Ghz easily on stock cooling without over voltage.
Its really quiet, my room vent is louder then it. But under full load the temperature in my room goes up 5-10 degrees F. It still kicks ass, card is OCed to 700 mhz core and 1720 mhz memory.
My core temps are
Core temp says
At idle its at..............................39-40 C
Underload from Prime95...............56 C
Dualcore center says
Idle.........................................34 C
And underload its.......................50 C
nice, i just dont like the screen, personally i perfer widescreen.
So do I, but I use my TV as a secondary monitor for videos, etc...
I want to get a widescreen monitor eventually, but I'm broke right now.
I want to set up multiple monitors or get a nice big one that uses dual DVI.
I hate Dell monitors, but it's big and it gets the job done. But it has a bad response rate, 35ms.
woahQuote:

Wow, my monitor has 2ms response. I thought that was a more common speed. it's samsung btw.
It says its 8ms. But in reality its 18ms, thats what it is under real-life usage according to the tomshardware.com review of them a while back.
[Edit: I over did how bad it was by a factor of 2]
Ditch the stock Intel shitsink and get an actual heatsink and you'll be able to push it farther.Quote:

Do any of you have your comps set up for RAID 0? How much better are things like load times ingame?
The 17'' LCD I was using back before I got my 22'' and am still using as a secondary is a 45ms. :downs:Quote:

I might be getting myself an 8800 GT (either the 512 meg version tomorrow or if there is a 1 gig version I will grab that, I'll have to check up on whether there will be one). They are looking winsauce right now =D.
Lol fuck NDAs :D

Just finished building it after school today. And today i ordered my ATI radeon hd 3870, right now its running with everything but my grafix. By this time next week it will all be working, and i'll be modelling and playing some real games for once :D
I was about to say NICE, but...
you bought an ATI card.
You're not my friend anymore.
Why are you so anti ATI:confused2: It has great graphics cards.Quote:

stop being nvidia fanboys, you losers, because ati is coming back with some good cards whlist you're wasting your money. I also read a review that stated that the hd3870 actually runs better on an nvidia SLI mobo, so hows that for awesome?
^, every video card ive owned was ati..
Lol getting pissy over a video card. It does well for what it is, a midrange card. Its a shame they are getting price gouged so hard though. :embarrassed:Quote:

Yeah, sorry WoL, I used to be behind AMD as well, but price vs. performance is ridiculous for them, especially when nVidia is doing it better and faster.
i'm not a nvidia fan boy :(Quote:

What Aggy said.
price vs performance, you're getting a better deal if you get an 8800 gts. But, I suppose if you really have to be a whore and get the very best graphics card possible you could get an ATI (or AMD whatev) and cry a month later when it isn't the best anymore.
They actually still aren't. The 8800GT still out-performs all of their new cards. The HD3870 is the closest thing AMD has that can compete with it, and it will sell because of the scarcity with the 8800GT (not that scarce at all; all I had to do was wait a few days before it restocked and then I ordered).

That is going to change very soon, if only for two months. :p

February.

Actually they do. Until you're 18, your parents have legal ownership of everything you buy.
But they don't have to know that...Quote:
