    case modding

    I have a lian li v1000, and I can't seem to figure out how to remove the ports. I don't know what kind of tool is required for the screws that hold it in place. IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y160/bigKr33/IMG_3032.jpg[/IMG]

    picking the right case

    I posted recently for some info with reguards to the lancool k7b. This is just one of many options i have been looking at for my new wc'n project. The goal is to use a mid tower case. The k7b certainly seems like a possible option. As well as a simple solution. The case i've pretty much...

    infinity speakers

    In the next couple of months i'm possibly planning on buying a surround system. I don't want to get a kit, i prefer to piece together one myself. After testing some speakers out i'm pretty focused on infinity's cascade line up. I just don't know which ones to get. Or rather placement of...

    lian li k7b owners?

    I'm gonna be building a computer sometime around march-april time frame next year. Right now my computer plans is nothing more than brain storming for the right case. I want it compact and rigid. The k7b looks like a good option for water cooling because of the amount of space in the front. I...

    ddr2 overclocking?

    Okay i did make a parts list of some of the parts i want to buy. Its most likely going to get revamped pretty quick here anyway. Most ddr2 compatible motherboards are compatible with ddr667 and ddr800, i did the math and if the fsb stock is 266; then the ram can either be double or triple...

    need new case?

    The goal i'm trying to accomplish is a compact air cooled solution. My stacker is too big and too impractical, so its time for a smaller reliable case. The main problem though is finding a case that is small, but yet has great cooling properties and can house a 2.8-3ghz opty at reliable...

    mushkin limiting overclock??

    I posted a similar topic a long time ago, but i have pics to back up all this info. I'm trying to get to 3.1ghz, but my ram is not really letting me, and if i'm going to overclock i want my ram going up in speed too, and not putting it on a 7/10 divider which would put the ram on a sub...

    mushkin redline xp4000 help

    Ok I'm curious as to how much voltage can a opty 165 take until its deemed unreliable. I heard somewhere that they're reliable up to 1.55v and that anything after that is just killing the chip. I'm curious because i want to get my overclock higher and i'm big on reliablity, my ram doesn't...

    preping water cooling

    I haven't quite got all my water cooling parts yet, but i heard that before you even put everything together that you should flush the block, and the radiator. What do you use to flush these two. It might be a little while before i can actually start building my wc because my thermochill...

    thermaltake big typhoon

    Is anyone using this for an opty dual core? What are your load temps with the cpu stock? room temp 78f idle: 37-38c load:up to 45c (not good) I'm using as5, but the mounting for this heatsink is so awful, that i feel that maybe its not on correctly. A load temp of 45c is very bad...

    dual core cooling solution

    I need a heatsink that can keep an overclocked opty 165 with voltage tweeks well under 50c load. My current Scythe SCNJ heatsink does the job, but when overclocking my opty the pwmic temps get rediculious 56c> in a 70f ambient room. The load temps with my current cooler keeps my cpu under 45c...

    overclocking opty

    I tested my opty on prime95 for 8hr. 30mins before i decided to stop. It was at stock voltage at 2.4ghz. I then tried to run it at 2.5ghz at stock voltage, and 1 of the cores failed pretty much instantly, the other just kept on going, but since the other core failed so quickly i just canceled...

    I'm currently using a pc power&cooling 510 watt. For some odd reason though (according to speedfan) my 12v rail is only 11.78v? I remember reading reveiws on this psu, and this psu usually does over 12v.

    a faster overclock

    Is it true that if you have the same cpu, that the one with a higher fsb of 270 with a 10x multiplier is faster than the same cpu with a 245 and a 11x multiplier? There both technically the same effective speed of 2700mhz. So would this also mean that the overclock with a 270fsb need more...

    165 opteron

    I've been thinking about buying an opteron for quite some time, but is it really worth it. Yes i would overclock the hell out of it so i would really be getting my money's worth, but would it really be a benefit in the long run. I hear that alot of people get the 165 eaisly up to 2.6+ with...

    How do you remove a chipset fan?

    I just recently bought a new chipset fan and heatsink, but i can't figure out how to get the darn thing off. I uses clips with a spring, and i'm guessing that i may just have to take the whole board out. If you've ever worked on a p180, you'll know that its a pain in the @$$. The board i'm...

    testing ram stability

    high end air cooling
