    Heatkiller LGA 1700 Heavy Backplate Question

    I ended up going ahead, using no washers between the backplate and mobo with plastic washers on top for the studs. However, for anyone curious, it appears the manual was correct and isolation washers aren't required. Watercool got back to me just a minute ago, and their suggestion was exactly...

    Heatkiller LGA 1700 Heavy Backplate Question

    Yeah, for the standard backplate, the Heatkiller IV manual shows using plastic washers as you'd expect. However, the 'heavy' version has its own specific manual, and it clearly shows not using washers. All my prior experience says to use isolating washers, but I don't want to put too much...

    Heatkiller LGA 1700 Heavy Backplate Question

    Hey, a quick question for anyone that's using the Heatkiller LGA 1700 'Heavy' Backplate. Did you use any nylon/plastic isolating washers when installing it? The manual for the backplate seems to imply you don't need isolating washers and doesn't mention their use (outside of the 'washer mod')...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    Yeah, I've had a couple of the old IBMs years ago. I already make enough noise typing with Cherry Reds, I don't need extra clicky, lol.

    Is it normal for Fenix Torch night battery to drop a lot thru time without use?

    Lithium-ion batteries naturally degrade over time and with repeated drain/recharge cycles. They also lose their charge when not in use -- usually around +/- 10% per month. Hence why they require regular charging to maintain 100% charge. Going down to 92% capacity for a nearly 4-year-old Li-Ion...

    What game? What game? Oh look at the time.

    I save myself that trouble by usually only playing one game at a time... maybe two ;p.

    Hand 386 Delivers A "True 386 Processor" in a Handheld

    What is old becomes new again, I guess. Not sure what the appeal would be over emulation, since it's not exactly an accurate 'retro' experience.

    What is this white film in my loop?

    IME, I've found it usually happens with specific brands of tubing (Tygon for example), and not with others like Primochill LRT. But, that's obviously entirely anecdotal, it could be any number of things. It doesn't take much to get some organic growth going, or it could be some sort of residue...

    WD HDD locked drive, trying to get back into pc repair, 1st client lol

    Ha, yeah... I remember when I first started switching from film to digital cameras, and the revelation of, "I can take as many pictures as I want!" Well, it seemed like it at the time, anyway -- despite memory card sizes that are laughable today. Now, you don't even give a second thought to...
