A mini ITX with dual channel RAM, HDMI, SATA RAID, Gigabit and 8 USBs! oh yeah, and it will run an X2!
So I got myself an acrylic case....
The blue cable is going soon (that's why it is in front), and I am refitting my mini LCD to go in the top two bays so please ignore that area. The top 120mm fan in the front also needs to be sleeved but i just threw it in for now to take up the space...
OK guys i have a problem and i cannot figure it out. I just received my Opteron 165 yesterday and I am unable to get beyond 210MHz HTT. I have dropped the HTT multi to 3X, the ram divider to 1:2, and even tried upping the Vcore to 1.45. Everything is the same as the rig in my sig except the PSU...
OK I will keep updating this after each article. This thread is just for reference, please keep the criticism in the threads for the articles. :p
I know it looks a little bare right now... it's growing.
OK i got my pass for PAX. Any other [H]'ers going to be there? I live in the area so it's no biggie for me to get there. Let's hook up and I can show you the town. PM or e-mail me if you are going so we can represent [H] as a group.
so i got a new shop and needed to revamp my case a bit for display. Turns out going to the dual 120mm rads actually dropped my GPU temps a couple degrees. before i had a dual 120mm heatercore and this time I put one of the 120mm rads between the CPU and GPU/NB. My CPU temps are exactly the same...
So i get a call from a friend saying they have this modded case that has a bad pump in it and can i fix it. Of course i said yes. Turns out its the Black Mesa 2 that Piloux made for Valve! Sadly the Aluminum reservoir reacted quite badly with all the copper in the radiator and CPU block creating...
I hope its ok to ask this here as i am not directly selling anything but i am trying to get a bit of market research.
I am in the process of opening a custom computer store in my area and along with that is going to be a small (at first at least)webstore. some of the things i have been thinking...
this all started with this thread
at first i just wanted to see what temps my old NF7-S chipset would get with an old microfin cooler strapped on there. suddenly it mushroomed into a full blown media PC. things that still need finishing include making a more permanent and asthetic mount for the...
here is yet another CPU cooler modded to fit a chipset. our victim this time is one of those old microfin socketA coolers that came with the thin little green fan on top. you guys remember those right? they can still be found for about 4 bucks. rip the fan and shroud off, grind a semicircle in...
ok guys check this out... i am running a dual boot setup ATM with two installs of XP pro. one of them is a slipstream disk i got from a friend that has all kinds of drivers preinstalled. when i boot into my original install everything is hunky dory. when i boot into the new slipstream install...
ok here is the beginning on my next project. just got another heatercore at autozone. this one is part#39 9078 eg the fedco 2-302. so far i've just put the barbs on. still needs to be bondo'd and painted once it all cures. i also added a little magnum weld for added strength and to bulk the...
I am wanting to change my blocks so that i can just run a single line instead of splitters. that means i want to go to all 3/8" barbs at least but i would prefer 1/2" barbs (i like the clampless look of 3/8" over 1/2" barbs). I will probably change the CPU cooler to an Apogee and the GPU to a...
If i were to buy a Twinplex for my setup i would need to flip the mounting bracket over because my mounting holes are placed on the opposite corners of the chipset. will this work? TN maybe?
OK, so i have had my A8N for about 4 months now and it seemed to be working fine albeit pretty weak in the overclock department. for the last 2 weeks i have been trying to help my friend through some problems with his machine wich was almost identical to mine. I finally tracked the issue down to...
ok right now i am running 1GB (2x512) of corsair xms in dual channel at 1T 2-2-2-6. i am looking into going up to 2GB of ram but i have heard that if i just add another 2x512 i wont be able to run 1T anymore. am i better off with the lower latencies i have right now or would i benefit more from...
ok here is the deal... the machine in my sig is the one we are talking about here. i have awesome temps accross the board here: idle/load CPU:30/41 GPU: 39/52 Chipset:30/34 PWM's never go above 55c(i probed them). this thing is rock stable and i am ok with the OC but i really was hoping for...
