    HAF mod Start

    2 loops Had to mod the res up top in the 3/8", I could not get it inside the case, so I used the two holes cut for watercooling on the back of the case. It seems to all be about the most efficient way of running tubbing, no kinks, no restrictions, better flow rate for carrying the heat in...

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    The LIFESAVER Drinks look good, I could almost say we froze them in ice cube trays, but then that may have been Kool-aid.

    HAF mod Start

    For sure, ten feet worked out great with some to spare. I ran a 1/2" red loop for the CPU and a 3/8" blue loop for the GPU I kind of started at one point, estamated the length by sight and then went to the next point of connection. just to get the loop complete for a 24 hours leak test.

    Overclocking The best way is to overclock using your BIOS, at startup hit the ( Delete ) key. that will take you into your bios settings. You need to know your board settings to overclock before going into your bios. And, if you get it all screwed up, you reset your bios to it's original state...

    Is Microsoft Rushing Windows 7?

    I went into mscofig, boot.ini and took out Win7. It looks/feels too much like Vista When you upgrade from WinXP to Vista, you can see the differences. They even say it was built on the Vista platform. Just a few little visual changes and call it another OS? I feel hoodwinked

What about the codecs, this may not have anything to do with it but, try installing codecs to clear up the issue I have the GTX280 and have not seen any issues, but then I havent used the S/PDIF, but rather the OPTICAL out, going to the surround system. Also, what about the...

    Have Simpler Product Lines Lead to Apple's Success?

    From what I see, most Mac computer users ( any Mac ) know how to use their programs well, but know very little how a computer works. That's when I have to baby sit them and train how to set up networks, although Mac networks are mostly automatic. It's like owning a Porsche and not knowing that...

    HAF mod Water Cooling

    I thought about running a triple in there and one loop, but part of the rad would be blocked from air flow ( top front ) so I ran a double 1/2" up top and a single 3/8" 120 on the back I just stuck the Noctua in there for now, needed a blue LED fan there for sure I wanted to run a theme of red...
