    Mineral Oil Submersion

    The description for that pan is a lot more complicated than it should be, haha. I don't think I'll be able to buy a pump though...they did use that bubble maker and it lowered temps by 4C, I think I'll have two of those and see what happens. So, I was looking at my old motherboard and I had...

    Crysis+DX10+Catalyst 8.7 == disaster?

    I don't have this problem, Crysis on very high eats up about 800MB for the GPU benchmark. I get 24fps with a single 4850.

    Persistance pays off, 2 hr-03 GT's on 2 4870 cards..pics

    You need to rotate the cpu cooler and flip the bottom gpu cooler, I guarantee your temps will improve.

    Mineral Oil Submersion

    I basically want to redo this project by pudget systems. http://www.pugetsystems.com/submerged.php The tank they use seems perfect for the job and I think I'll order that. I want to do this project as cheaply as possible so I need some advice. I think I can find mineral oil for about $40...

    Can I put multiple bootable partitions on one flash drive?

    You sure? What if I put everything in the main registry on the same partition and had some kind of DOS loader, then I could type in XP.exe or bootcd.exe or something like that? I can't code but that might work off a DOS boot drive with everything there.

    Can I put multiple bootable partitions on one flash drive?

    I want to put every tool I have on a 4GB flash drive. So far I have my XP SP2 install, which I would like to be bootable for install like the CD, Ultimate Boot CD for tools, and maybe Hiren's boot cd as well. I also want to install Ubuntu or some form of linux onto the flash drive. I was...

    Upgrading Laptop Video Card?

    If it's a newer high-end nVidia chip (78/79 Go or higher), it should be using an MXM module, which can be upgraded, but I've never seen any for sale.

    Anyone else failing to see a reason to go quad core?

    That works for you, why should anyone need to upgrade from a 3.1GHz C2D, that's a great chip. But for people with outdated tech, planning an upgrade, I think Q6600 is the way to go, I'm getting one to replace my Opty 144 soon.

    Disk Cleanup Just Deleted Most of my files

    I ran diskcleanup (Vista), and while cleaning some windows error logs, it started deleting all the files under users, including the desktop and my personal files. My music, installation files, movies, data, everything. I just lost 30GB of data and didn't notice until the next song on my...

    OCing CPU >>> how much difference does it make in gaming?

    Some people are so lazy. If you want to know the difference between a Core 2 at 2.4GHz, and a Core 2 at 3GHz then look a goddamn review of the E6850 and the E6600.

    Mobo Advice Gigabyte DS3R or Abit IP35 Pro HELP

    Both boards are great, and overclocking shouldn't be an issue unless you're using an E6550, in which case the DS3R is slightly better. The Abit has firewire, while the Asus will have better support, and BIOS updates will come regularly and bring new features. I think the Asus is cheaper so...

    Q6600 @ 3.5 ghz

    First of all, this confirms nothing, who knows, maybe G0s can hit 4GHz on water, we know nothing until we see it. And second, he's using water cooling, 3.5GHz really isn't that great.

    QX6700 OCing

    At this point, heat becomes an issue long before the individual chip's potential is reached, that's why, with good air cooling, Q6600s go about as high as QX6800, 3-3.4GHz.
