    Blistering ICE Cold FAASSST DDDR2 for 550+ FSB

    Sorry SonDa5 I've been thrashing a different memory problem for the last few days and didn't check back in. I'm currently replacing the Patriot dimms with a 2x2gb OCZ Reaper 1150 set. Problem was, I've hashed out the P5K-E bios versions a year ago in which all versions newer than 0602 had...

    Blistering ICE Cold FAASSST DDDR2 for 550+ FSB

    My Patriot "valueram" with good ole D9 ic's will run rock solid at 1155mhz @5-5-5-9 and 1025mhz @ 4-4-4-9. These were 1gb sticks. You'll have a hard time buying with any confidence, 2gb sticks that meet your requirements.

    New mcp355/ddc3.2 ?

    I received an mcp355 today along with EK DDC v2. I was about to swap the tops when I noticed one of screws on the pump has a stripped head, (the phillips groove). Has anybody had this experience? The screws seem kind of cheezy and soft. As well, it seems the last few turns when tightening are...

    1st system complete, minor bubble issues

    I am not personally familiar with that res but, the strange curves are probably there to break up and slow the flow entering so as to reduce the turbulance, letting bubbles rise. That said, it may not work so well. Single "bay sized" reservoirs are kind of shallow and I would think, make it hard...

    1st system complete, minor bubble issues

    Both of my mcp655's are near silent and flow very well on 5 which, is where they stay. My cpu loop has only an Apogee (pre-GT). I also have been using an MCRES rev.2 ( http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swmcmire2re.html ). It's an excellent res for bleeding, not very stylish. I know some...

    1st system complete, minor bubble issues

    I think it's been too long, in my experience, for you to still "hear" bubbles passing. Did you clean your rad thoroughly? Any foam in the res? If not, can you get to your res to reposition it? If so, try propping it (or get someone to help you hold it) so you can tilt your case 90degs in any...

    Critique on my LCS setup

    Good stuff. Is the mcp350 the same as the ddc 3.1? I'm not sure but, I believe there was some reliability issues with the "3.1". You may want ask around or search that or just get an mcp355(ddc3.2) That 120.2 should be fine for a cpu loop. Have fun!

    1st system complete, minor bubble issues

    That's right, you've got it. I just looked at the picture of your res again ( http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bi5bayresbla.html ). I guess I was squinting from sleepy too, because I missed the ports on the very edge. I only saw the three with plugs in them but, clearly there are 5 ports on...

    1st system complete, minor bubble issues

    An air gap in the top of your res is ok as long as it's not enough to allow water flowing outward to suck any air in. You would likely hear that. Now, if I'm seeing this right, ( http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bi5bayresbla.html ) the left hand side of this res is the lower of the two...

    This sounds more like your situation. I should have read a little more carefully.

    1st system complete, minor bubble issues

    Man, you gotta shake that thing like a British nanny! Seriously, you have to tilt it and shake it while you tilt it. Try to picture the path of your water through the whole loop and tilt your case as needed to help a bubble through. Of course, as it passes one area it just moves to the next hang...

    Lenovo L220X

    Yeah, I see what you mean now. In some colors it's more noticable than others. I don't know how it may compare to older/other PVA panels. When I first saw it, I noticed it seems to reveal itself in areas where there are gradations or shades of a color. I suppose I'm so impressed with this...
