    FS: Water and air cooling gear, fans, and a c. 2003 overclocker's dream

    I'm moving to the U.S. on Sept. 1 and can't be bothered hauling all this cruft, so anything that doesn't sell before then is going directly to Goodwill. Parts shipped from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to anywhere: you choose & pay for shipping method (or local pickup near Carleton). Heatware is here...

    QoS: DD-WRT vs D-Link

    For the last few years, I'd used a m0n0wall box + a switch to run my house's network (4 laptops, 2 desktops, Xbox 360, VoIP phone). The m0n0wall machine was fried in some power weirdness a few months ago, and the network has been limping badly since then. It got so bad this weekend that I...

    Where to find a Logitech Z560 woofer

    I have a blown Z-560 woofer (the voice coil is melted, the amp is still good). Logitech doesn't stock replacement parts for the system, since they stopped making it years ago. Does anyone have any idea where I could find a replacement driver (preferably an original)? I'm not the one who blew it...

    Brutal load temps

    Well, the watercooling system is finally up and running. My PolarFlo TT is keeping mt Opty 146 idling at 38, but as soon as I start priming, my temps shoot up to ~68! The CPU goes back to 38-39 within seconds of stopping the test. Is this a by-product of Arctic Silver 5's "setting" period, or is...

    Safe temp for voltage regulator?

    I'm watercooling an x1800XL, and I'm getting some very nice overclocks, but the power regulators are getting very hot (80-90 oC). I guess they're missing the airflow from the stock cooler. What is the maximum safe temp for those chips?

    Corrosion inhibition

    As many of you know by now, I have a PolarFlo TT to play with, and I've been thinking. Yeah, I could run Zerex in my loop, but it seems to me that the easiest way to inhibit corrosion would be to prevent the Aluminum in the block from coming in contact with the water. Since the Al isn't...

    Cooler Master 550 up to the task?

    Quick question for the PSU gurus out there. I'm building a dual GPU system in the near future, based on either the DFI SLI-Expert or the CF-DR, and I'm in the market for a power supply. A friend is willing to sell me his CoolerMaster Real Power 550 very cheap. It has the 8-pin EPS connector...

    General rad setup questions

    Couple of quick questions that occured to me browsing the forums here, didn't see the answers anywhere, so I thought I'd start a new thread instead of hijacking :rolleyes: First of all, would mismatched fans on a shrouded 120.2 rad be a bad thing? It doesn't sound like it would be a...

    Bizzarre hardware failure

    My PC has been giving me a number of problems lately. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware issue because I a) re-installed Windows (which didn't help) and b) tried to install Gentoo Linux (got a Kernel Panic even before hitting any sort of prompt: "IRQ not syncing"). I've swapped out my HDD, my...

    "My Documents" Recovery

    I've been having problems with my XP install lately, so I decided to reinstall without formatting. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove the protection on my "my documents" folder, and now I am getting "access denied" messages trying to access it. I think that the best method would be to create a...

    First trade gone sour: action?

    Well, I spent four hours on the bus on Monday picking up an item I got on here...what a mistake. I bought a keyboard, mouse, fan and mousepad. I couldn't see a damn thing when I picked it up (it was about 8 at night) so I trusted him and took it home. Found out that not only was the keyboard...

    Low Ping, High Latency

    I had a quick look through the forums, and couldn't quite find anything like this, so here goes. I bought HL2 yesterday, fired it up, and started playing CS:S. The problem is that when I browse for servers, I get pings 45-55ms. When I'm actually playing, I can't get anything better than 80-...

    The true value of NCQ

    I'm building myself a new A64 machine, but I think I screwed up. I got myself a pair of 200g W.D. SATA drives thinking that I was getting them on sale (I didn't). Now I have these two drives that I paid full retail for ($140 CAD each), and am reading rave reviews about NCQ. My question is...
