    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    I'm surprised that 385 degrees was hot enough - I know solder paste I use doesn't reflow till about 410-420f (unless my thermometer is rubbish and is lieing to me!). Many components should not be at this temperature for 8-10 minutes, more like 30 seconds max, though clearly they can take more...

    T-Shooter 4 Barrel Cooler

    I'd be so surprised if this performed anywhere near as well as many of the heat pipe coolers around at the moment (due to tiny surface area of fins). I hope it does though, as it'll be quite cheap to produce in huge quantities - it's mostly just a single aluminium extrusion. Though I guess...

    EVGA 650i OC/ Bios Guide

    Sorry, I should have explained more clearly. Increasing the CPU core voltage, not fan voltage, may help stability. This should be done carefully, and only if you have good cooling.

    EVGA 650i OC/ Bios Guide

    That does sound strange. What temperatures do you have on your CPU generally? Also, what spec power supply do you have? It would be worth checking your heatsing is installed properly, then if it is, you could try upping the voltage a bit to help the stability (but only do this if you have...

    EVGA 650i OC/ Bios Guide

    Part 2 would be most appreciated, however it's over a year since the last comment was made, so I won't hold much hope. I've just bought an EVGA 650i mobo, and I'm having issues, not sure if anyone else has had these. I've set all of the bios settings correctly as in the Nvidia...

    NVIDIA Purchased AGEIA Technologies

    I agree - the FUD seems ill founded when market leaders are shelling out millions to acquire companies specialising in game physics. They know what they're doing and I doubt they'd throw away the money for fun. Will be interesting to see how this actually affects game physics, and if there...

    3Ghz k10 + 2900XT's = 30,000 score in 3dmark 06?

    It will be interesting to see how this pans out. I read the inq most days, and get a lot of interesting news from them. Although they are not always the most accurate of tech news sites, most of the stuff they say has a large element of truth in it, but the reason I read them is because...

    Outsourcers Told To Expand Beyond India

    Ha ha! That video is great. The darn cactus theves will be the end of the USA! Obviously the guy is a nutter, but it's quite entertaining.

    Outsourcers Told To Expand Beyond India

    On the face of it this may seem funny, but it should not really be surprising. It's the same pattern that's been followed with many manufactures in the past (e.g. toys, shoes): - manufacturing increasingly goes to a country where there is loads of cheap labour - demand for labour in this...

    Ramp to Win [H]|DC Raffle (Sign-up Thread)

    I'm in! Dunno if my old system will do the minimum require load, taking days to do 1 work unit, but I'll give it a go!
