    Windows 7 ... what do you like, or not & why ... or do you care?

    it gets better ... I have not tried even one of these including the 1st one that was reported. Curiosity is killing more in "how is she finding out about them"?!?! God modes part deux

    The new build ...

    Currently running BLCK = 210 & CPU Ratio = 21 for 4410 MHz, QPI = 5.03 GT/s. Temps get to low 80s now & OCCT linpack eventually crashes over night. I do have the RAM pushed to 6 7 7 18 & voltages don't seem to make much difference although I can't tell you what they are at the moment. They must...

    Windows 7 ... what do you like, or not & why ... or do you care?

    I have found a few peculiarities with some of the engineering software that I use. Fortunately this stuff is expensive enough & the issues are not so severe that they are all over it. For instance, the program kicks off a little number cruncher routine that opens its own window, in W7 it does...

    Do you buy ...

    I did not know it until very recently, but Micro Center was selling i7 920s for $199. I heard about that after I saw whining on another forum that they raised the price to $230 ... still much better than 'egg.

    P6X58D/H50 Case

    Didn't think I had anything to add, but that caught my eye. And, I completely agree with T-N. I will not buy another OCZ PSU. I had 2 OCZ 550W PSUs in 2 different machines. They were pretty ... very shiny & all. Both were bought at the same time and they both failed within a month of each...

    Wooden PC Case in the making - Got Questions.

    My $.02 ... & not necessarily in a logical order:eek: 1) use a poly urethane to seal, stain, & put a finish on the wood. Where you buy it, ask them about the sand paper to get the finish (smoothness) that you think you want. I couldn't remember "poly urethane" before.:confused: Wrap the sand...

    Wooden PC Case in the making - Got Questions.

    I have been thinking about your project & don't really have any criticism (+ or -) to offer. Cooling & dust accumulation has recently been a "thing" for me. So I can only suggest that the fans slow down or turn off until necessary. Check out this link on wood finishing although I am sure that...

    Windows 7 ... what do you like, or not & why ... or do you care?

    Like. Hitting the Windows key & typing in what I want to run Like. ctrl+ mouse scroll button to resize desktop icons. Kind of cool although I never really cared too much about this before. :cool: Like. God mode ... seems all the rage in forums. Just a huge Control Panel, but neat. Name a...

    old LGA775 CPU upgrade?

    Thanks! I haven't bought anything yet. I am still in awe of a new i7 system that I built last month. I use my machines mostly;) for work & am wondering if I will ever spend anything on any system that is not X58 ... for the coming year at least.

    Clearing Up Misconceptions about CUDA and Larrabee

    Nvidia TESLA ... I didn't think that we were on the same sheet of music.;) I am considering a couple of these versus the traditional conventional raw multi-core systems. Have to see how business goes. I saw someone's build of a quad socket quad core water cooled AMD system e/w highend AMD...

    Clearing Up Misconceptions about CUDA and Larrabee

    Perhaps I have a gross misunderstanding as I associate CUDA with GPGPU as a hardware accelerator for those software developers that choose to implement it. In that regard, NVIDIA has been the only option.

    Clearing Up Misconceptions about CUDA and Larrabee

    I agree with Unregistered ... NVIDIA is the winner by default.

    water cooling

    The new build ...

    completed OC-ed to 4.34 GHz. In the bottom pic next to the Swiftech Apogee XT, you can see an 80 mm fan clipped onto the top of the memory heatsinks. I have seen some people pee-ing all over Swiftech and glowing over the Watercool HeatKiller. Reason given is the XT is cast & made in China...
