alright... I finally got to recording how much it evaporates... Measured out, the container is .445meters by .334meters. In 4.5 days, the water height changed by .03meters. So Volume = Length * Width * Height gives us... .445m x .334m x .030m = .0044589m^3 which I converted to be 1.2~...

the reading is from the motherboard sensor for the cpu (mobo: MSI k8t neo2 (not platinum)). I dont know what I get with a radiator :( This is my first jump into water cooling. I am mostly doing it to have less noise. I used to get around 35C idle for air, and up to the high 40s for load...

Yeah... I need to add a filter on the intake but I havent found anything good yet. That is the plan though. In the short time running, it hasnt gotten too dirty so far, but I have seen a few little specks of random stuff floating in there (dirt and so on...) I think you could get the temp...

ICE! good idea. lol. I put in all we had just now (not too much) and it got down to 13C idle, 18C load (hl2dm on high settings). lol. I need more ice though. It seems to be melting pretty fast. Water is starting to condense around everything though so ill have to back off a bit...

Well ive been looking at evaporative coolers for a while and I finally built my own. I thought the bong coolers were nice, but they seem like they make a lot of noise, so I decided to go with this..... It uses parts of a drip irigation system with 20 risers, wrapped in cleaning...

Alright, I’ve tried searching but I haven’t really found anything helpful. I have an AMD 64 3400+ cpu and I want to use a CompuNurse to monitor the temps. My mother board (MSI K8T neo2) doesn’t always gives me reliable readings (some times it reads in the 30Cs (probably good) and other times...

To start here are the relevant parts of my system: AMD 64 3400+ with a Thermaltake Pipe101 heatsink and 92mm Thermaltake fan hooked up to the cpu/mobo header MSI K8T Neo2-FIR (not platinum) motherboard Chemming/Chieftec style case, with three 80mm fan intakes, and two exausts. No top fan...

I dont know if your temps are normal or not, but being me, I would want real low temps. Did you build your computer yourself? If so... then you've already got the mind for building a water cooling setup. Some of the ideas behind it are the same... you have to research all of the parts you...

could it just be a "missfire"? So far, there have been two spots on my lcd that were red pixels. They just stayed red no matter what I was doing. But the next day when I used the computer, those spots were back to normal. Just something strange...

no guesses aye?

Alright, I havent had much luck searching for anything like this so here goes... instead of a screen saver I have my lcd monitor set to turn off when the computer is inactive for 10 min or so. Most of the time it will turn off properly, but sometimes the screen will turn completely white...

go slow start with the easiest part when your painting.. dont even TRY to cover the whole piece in one shot. Just get the majority of it with a real light coat. Let it dry, wet sand if you are going to do that, and repeat. There are probably a good number of tutorials online. I think...

nice... that gives me some ideas.... (insert evil person doing that hand thing here)

I see that you are very experienced in the ways of the apple!

thanks for the ebay link. Although it might be cool to mod, I know I wont. My dad wants to sell it now lol. We still have the box it came in, and all of the manuals too.
