Respectively ... slow down a bit ... I don't think you should jump to any conclusions based on the pic anymore than you should jump on using a TIM because you get a lot for few $$. I was surprised with the thermal response in the pic & I have been meaning to send the information Enerdyne...

4.2 GHz I had a moment to play & just bumped the I7's clock to 4.2 GHz. SpeedFan shows the highest temp of any core using "toast" is 53 deg C; lowest is 45 deg C, "CPU" is 39. ... haven't touched any voltages. I'm diggin' it:cool:

So Kougar, w/o quoting everything that you just said ... I was watching one of my number crunchers start up late last night. This program runs in 3 parts; pre-processing, solver, & post processing. The solver is the exciting part (at least for those days when I don't get out often) in that it...

Keeping to the subject & that is a challenge even when I picked the subject. But I try to at least have the pretense of being objective. And can I just call it Win7, or W7, or even just 7 for the sake of this thread?:confused: 1st ... it is on a DVD. So much for using my legacy (aka old cr@p)...

1st pic of the new system This is a view of the new system. The old system meticulously cleaned, all fans removed & cleaned with a tooth brush ... if your going to do it, do it well ... what a PITA.:( I meant to re-wax it, but got side tracked & didn't get to it. Kidding ... only...

I understand what you saying Kougar although mildly loaded auto engines can be in the 60 deg C to 80 deg C range. Engines don't like boiling water either. I could do without Wetter's coloring, but reduced surface tension (aka surfactant) helps water absorb & release heat, and retard the...

Technically speaking, connector design is about normal force or the force between the springs (the contact) and in this case the PCB pad. Low normal force & you don't have good wipe which is the cleaning action as the contact slides over the pad. Low normal force will allow foreign matter in the...

I am intrigued. I have another machine to build in the next few weeks.

Indigo Extreme reflow So with an apparent issue of $$ burning a hole in my pocket, I spent the $20 for the Indigo Extreme. I am a sucker for this kind of stuff anyway inspite of possible common sense in this thread.:rolleyes: But, as I indicated else where in the forums, I am all about getting...

The new build, Asus P6X58D + I7920 + Corsair Dominator RAM + Win 7 + uber WC, up & running tho not completed. It is OC-ed to al-l-lmost 4 GHz.:D Much to be done there ... Speedfan reports the max temp for a core of the upper 40s degree C. It is very noisy since the per core load varies so much...

You suggested earlier this recipe once before which is what I did do ... but I couldn't resist Water Wetter

The other part of the test that you might have done or just not mentioned is to put the card in another computer to see if the problem followed. Without that it is difficult to tell with certainty (in my opinion:rolleyes:) what is the culprit.

i have been concerned about HDD channel speed for years, but truthfully it has not mattered so much with anything that I do. Not to be the wet blanket ... or anything. :rolleyes: Boot time? Isn't that something that you do once every month or 2 under duress when MS sends a required update?:cool...

Picures of the old box Alright, Merlin, you're right ... I gave my digital camera to my son for a while so the forum gets pix from my LG Incite cell phone. It is autofocus but of course it is not on a tripod & is nearly impossible to tell what it is focused on ... and that is when my finger is...

I just did my 1st Windows 7 Pro 64 bit install ... piece of cake. Whew!:eek: This is a new install in all new h/w. ASUS P6X58D Premium /w 12 GB DDR3

Sooooo ... in comparison to the XFX Radeon 5770 Crossfire EX ... yadda ... reviewed a couple of weeks ago, there is a $15 difference (at 'egg)?:rolleyes:

I need to change out the fan connectors so they can plug into the m/b. All of the fans just do not need to run all of the time. It seems in my enthusiasm to finally get this project started, I chose a m/b that has *no* IDE connectors ... so much for reusing the old DVD CD-ROM drive.:( Well I...

LOL Yes! :rolleyes:

I think there will many more wireless connected devices including PCs ... much less wired Ethernet. HTPC ... maybe and I also have had a system for about 3 years. It is one of those ASUS m/bs that came out with a remote control. That remote control thing was a PITA; cordless mouse & keyboard...

I don't see this kind of RAM to be of much interest for enthusiasts. No help for any game. Although I believe that there are people "out there" that are into running their machines for "folding" & to help NASA analyze deep space images ... for free to NASA. But I don't think needs very much RAM...
