    Post Your Connection Speed

    Crossed my mind but was too busy. Will try it tonight. Odd thing is that I still get 1MB/s + every once and awhile on torrents. Most likely my block is just overcrowded.

    Rad leak? (not from barbs)

    No tape, hard hand tighten. The reason I say its not the barbs is because the barbs are in full view above the case, and I can't see any signs of water around the barbs. I just wanted to see if anyone has ever experienced some sort of puncture before I laboriously take the rad off the side of...

    Rad leak? (not from barbs)

    Doing leak testing round 2 for my new WC setup. In round 1 I noticed the radiator had a slow leak, I couldn't pinpoint it, but I assumed it was from one of the barbs. I've since redone all the fittings, and everything appears to be rock solid, except for the stupid rad. I have it standing...

    HD5870 + T-Rad2

    Out of curiosity, for those of you who have ripped the stock cooling off: it possible to just take the outer plastic off so that the heatsink and fan are exposed, without separating the heatsink from the chip? I'm trying to keep costs down and figure just having a 120mm fan blowing directly on...

    Get away with not mounting pump?

    Good to know I can mount it on its side if I need to. Side note: I like the way you mounted the rad. The design features of the Torture Rack make it a little challenging to mount a rad around the blocked airflow caused by the PSU location, but your method is clever workaround.

    Get away with not mounting pump?

    lol. I forgot about the foam pad. Also, velcro is a very good idea. I honestly just wasn't sure how much vibration there would be, and if the tubing would shift the pump out of where I place it. I've pretty much settled on the design of the loop, so velcro'ing the pump down should work...

    Get away with not mounting pump?

    So after a couple weeks of waiting for parts and time, my rig is built and running on air. I wanted to ensure everything worked before I gave WC a shot, and now I'm ready. To make a long story short, I'm wondering if I can get by without mounting my pump. Based on how the DD Torture rack...

    Watercooling virgin (post-research), double check my work?

    I've done 2 builds, both air, but it has been awhile. With the 1156 i7s and 5970 out, I figure its time for a new build, and I want to get some experience with OCing and WCing. I've done a fairly large amount of research over the last couple weeks but I'd love it if you guys would be so...

    Apple BacktoSchool ipod touch resale?

    Apple has a deal where if you buy a Mac/Macbook with the student discount you basically get a free iPod touch (they send you a rebate for it). I'm trying to figure out if its worth getting and trying to resell it. I figure its a brand new, unopened box, it should be easy to sell for $100...

    Aspiring IT, how to learn server tech?

    This has definitely been on my mind. The biggest frustration for me in any of my jobs thus far hasn't been working with peers/clients, but bonking myself on the head every time a manager gives an order or focuses on something that is so ass-backwards and stupid its mind boggling. I'm at the...

    Aspiring IT, how to learn server tech?

    Right, let me clarify. I'm currently a senior in college with no formal internships/jobs in IT. Everything I've learned has been on my own (save a brief foray into Target's backroom inventory database system, and helping stupid people get on my school's network). I think consulting is something...

    Aspiring IT, how to learn server tech?

    Stress isn't an issue for me. 5 years in the catering industry doing everything from setup to supervising to bartending 300 person weddings has prepped me for stressful situations, and I don't crack under pressure as it is. People don't scare me and I handle situations well. But yea, I don't...

    Aspiring IT, how to learn server tech?

    Thanks for all the replies, I wasn't expecting such a strong showing. Yea, I'm currently trying to get my foot in the door internship-wise. I'm gonna be a senior in college and getting hands on experience is definitely my goal, but its been harder than I expected to find somewhere to start...

    Aspiring IT, how to learn server tech?

    Hey, Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'll give it a shot. I'm an aspiring IT guy and I've seen a lot of job opportunities requiring experience with things like SBS2008 and other server software/tech, and I'm curious if anyone could point me in the right direction...
