Haha...beer for cleaning eh? I thought I was being too generous using brandy :cool:

m..m..MELTED?! Wow...:eek: With my watercooling and former XP-90, the temp climbed to 45 deg. C under load, and chilled there. 100 deg. C is a scary number...I don't think I'd even like the temp to read 60 deg. C, although the GPU seems to think that temp as no big deal :) And yeah, do...

lol...I was about to explain to you what I had to explain to my friend that I gifted my old 6600GT to recently. His VGA died almost instantly when he tried to play games...yup, it was a kicker! :D People who had older VGAs or even some of the recent ATIs seem to encounter this (to me) comical...

If I was a filthy rich bastard or if these companies had a short testing period for us to check out products before buying it, I'd really like to check this headset out. I too am an audio junkie at times. Right now I have Paganini's crazy Caprices of the violin going, and once I get more...

Yes. lol It's best to have both surfaces (CPU and bottom of heatsink) glued together tightly, and Arctic Silver 5 has amazing conductivity than most other thermal paste, so I would put in some time to take the HSF off, clean the surfaces, and replace the paste with Arctic Silver 5. But the...

Haha, thanks..seems like I will be joing the DFI-party, once the Lanparty UT nForce 4 SLI Expert comes out, and once I have the time and spare change, I'll be going nuts over it, like when I had a DFI Lanparty nForce3 250Gb w/ Clawhammer 3000+. I don't think that CPU is sold anymore! wow I...

Oh ppl...all we need to know is when to settle...when to say enough is enough. If one is highly interested in building a monster rig, then fine, pour in the dough. But my system, despite its annoying issues, is good enough for my purposes. The rest of the money goes to feeding myself and...

Sounds like a wise decision. It's also cool that you got over playing games...I've quit every game I had going, except I'm stuck with CS... :cool:

It's Ayumi Hamazaki, not the garbled spelling! :D Around the time I departed Tokyo for college, Chinese and Korean pop 'artists' (most of which I have trouble accepting them as such..) or bands or groups or whatever, go by names that are acronyms... I wonder what they stand for. Japan had a...

lol...frank sinatra was something my neighbor played when we were studying for hours and hours for exams and term papers... we didn't need any assistance to feel its surreal effects..

Yeah, I had a time when I repeatedly listened to the Pathetique Sonata, Appasionata, the Moonlight Sonata, etc, like an obsession... And they still are among my favorites. The Mendelssohns, Mozart, Schubert, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Maher, Wagner, Handel, the Bachs, Vivaldi, Verdi, Paganini...

Wow, an answer to my heathenly prayers already! I thought only courts answered prayers (and yes, courts do hear and answer prayers!! now that's something funny I learned in law school). Anyways, cool :cool: I wonder what other fellahs have though... There are so many out there, but so far...

And for total silence, the Reserator seems to be the way to go. But it seems to have its limits on how much it can cool without the aid of a fan, unless you could mod your fridge for it to cool that hunk of a radiator. Fans won't go away completely, since our usual watercooling system...

Definately spend time doing research... For instance, I bought my AMD 3800+ X2 because I found that it sucks in very little electricity and would stably overclock to AMD 4800+ X2 speeds easily, as I have it right now. I picked the memory that could handle the overclock as well after...

Watercooling is worth the 150+ bucks! Anyways, back to the query...on law school exams, going off topic, even slightly, is death. Watercooling doesn't allow for a perfectly silent PC, unless you have a Zalman Reserator. When you have the Waterchill that I have, your CPU won't get much...

So I am wondering what mobos y'all have, and brag/cuss over it! :)

Interested in stuff as usual, I am wondering how others' mobos are treating them. Mine is just silly. On the newegg.com review board, most love the eVGA SLI mobo I have, because, in essense, it does what any mobo should do: work stably. Besides that, there are claims of good overclocks...

And that sounds so lovely... :cool:

Wow...that'll certainly scare me! One time I begain smelling something burning while playing CS for a long time...a day earlier, I was studying like crazy, so the next day I just played CS like crazy. Well, smelling something burning, I went into panic mode that I rarely enter. I immediately...

Speaking of MX518, which I use, I can't get it to work in CS anymore...it insists that I use a particular speed as the base speed, and gets faster and faster thereafter....and being on a secure server that has quite a few members that regularly get accused of "haxorz" and swiftly banned on other...
