    No case worth it :(

    The people on this board are enthusiasts yet I see project after project (including mine) that has the same 5-6 cases. We all know we will add lots of bits so buy the big cases (makes variety small) that arent ugly (makes variety smaller still). It seems that we all end up with effectively the...

    Just for a laugh :D

    My mini firdge has gone up the duff and having some spare peltiers and a 360W psu means I thought it would be fun to "pimp" it from 40W to 120W :D Of course with some cutting, banging, crashing and swearing it sees temps only just below ambient because the cooler is cast aluminium and tiny...

    8800gtx

    Need some help real quick. Thankfully its not mine but I'm kinda worried about mine now I've read about the capacitor on GTX boards. The board is in perfect nick apart from one minor thing a capacitor has jumped ship at some point. This picture shows a GTX board with the capacitors intact. It...

    Quad SLi and XP x64

    Quad SLi is not supported but XP which given the bandwidth limitations of its kernel is perfectly fine by me. XP x64 (same kernel base as Vista and 2003) has higher bandwidth and can use all of the necessary components at full rate. Yet Quad SLi is only for Vista? The big, dumb, fat brain child...

    XP x64 activation

    I bought it ages ago and have never had any problems with any thing. I did one of my quarterly re-installs (gets startup back to full speed) and everything is running happily again. Problem is that the usual activation comes up to say "activate me" and I click it and BAM! Nothing happens. No...

    OC Masta thread

    This is for pinning to the OC masta thread as it is relevant. By law OC Masta has been fraudulent (his actions have purposefully deceived to gain something) and because of this he must be dealt with by the higher powers of this forum, mark73's bank fraud squad, mark73's local police. OC3D...

    AquAero startup?

    I have a Multiswitch on its own and Aquasuite must be loaded to run any fans. This means my highly optimised startup has an additional 90seconds put onto it for Aquasuite to startup. This may not seem bad but my rig aint exactly stock speed so this actually gives me 2-3 mins of passive cooling...

    Extreme CPUs

    Just wondering with the release of i7 should the Extreme 775 CPUs have a price drop? What is the best QX? With i7 setup meaning at least a £500 upgrade for me (im DDR3 already) the QXs are ridiculous prices given they are crap in comparison. Will their prices fall enough to cover the gap in...

    How much for phase change?

    I've been reading through the stickies and links for about 2 hours. I know how it works happily now but am still finding pricing of premade unit rather stupid. I have a friend who could do the brazing for me but I don't think its out of my capability. I'm also getting a welder for christmas...

    Car radiator

    There are LOADS of posts on other forums and a few on here menitoning using car radiators for cooling given they cost £100 and cool way better than any watercooling specific radiator its stupid not to try when your car radiator is being replaced for a shiny one :D The problem here in is the...

    What is the Feser One freezing temperature?

    As above really. I will be having some dry ice for Halloween (really just an excuse) and I would like to try to assist my WC rig for a good bench. I can place it on my top mounted rad for a flat surface and it will cool the Feser flowing through it but it will freeze? I dont want to stick a...

    RJ45 connections

    I have a cunning plan for a friend and I to play games on ethernet without wireless but it means some fun. I have the electronic knowledge to build my plan but I don't know enough about how network traffic goes through the cable to do my design (if its even possible). Ethernet use the PHY to...

    Feser One

    Simple question and hair brained scheme for boredom may result from this answer. What temperature does Feser One freeze at?

    Cold cathode woes :(

    Ok here is the scene. Q6600, 4GB DDR3, 960Gb HDDs, 8800GTX in SLi and a lot of watercooling. I have an Aqua Computer MultiSwitch (ACMS) to control the watercooling stuff. The ACMS controls 3x fans on the upper radiator (for CPU) and 3x fans on the lower radiator (for GPUs) and 2x cold cathodes...

    rrjwilson's G15 config

    Ok so I like many have a G15 with a display that wasn't in use. Well it was but only by stupid crap that I didn't want. I found !Timmy!'s config which was nice but not to my needs, so after some quick jiggling I made this. You need: Everest monitoring software LCDStudio 6px2bus.ttf font...
