    Seasonic High Voltage Lucky Draw

    I have 2 systems with X750 Gold PSU that are on 24X7. One is a little over a year old & the other is over 2. These PSUs replaced 2 failed units that also took out the m/b. I will only use Seasonic! The next system in planning will have a Nvidia Tesla M2090 GPGPUs ... maybe 2. Add on even a...

    Im confused.

    Having WC-ed 2 systems for close to 10 years I think my main motivation is maintenance as in cleaning. Translating, I have 2 systems (currently i7-990X OC-ed to 4.6 GHz) that have been upgraded/rebuilt 3 times over all that time. At this point I have figured out the magic recipe for the coolant...

    SSD RAID scaling under Windows 7 @ [H]

    @Kyle ... great review as usual and you have the knack for picking up on what is important. I just added Adaptec RAID 6405 controllers to 3 of my systems (X58) to get away from Marvell & will wait for PCIe 3.0 before system upgrades. This started as an experiment with three 60GB SATA III SSDs...

    Has anyone had any issues with performancepcs?

    I have ordered from jab-tech, frozencpu, and performancepcs ... the only problem is what is in stock. performancepcs seem to have what I want usually in stock. resellerratings.com is your friend. I have used it for years, but you have read through whiny-ness & prima donas sometimes to get a...

    Pipe Dope - have you used it?

    I slice Teflon tape lengthwise to get at least a couple of wraps around the threads with no over hang. I also secure tubing to barbed fittings with tyewraps pulled as tightly as I can ... I really want a tyewrap gun ... one of these days.

    What don't you like about your current WC setup?

    I have to refill my system about every 6 to 10 month and only a dribble at that. I want fans that are temp controlled. They are all over, but I guess I am a complete dumb a$$ for not getting them working. The temp controlled fans would be on the radiator & turn on when necessary (under temp...

    What you do with 12GB+ desktop?

    I run number engineering cruncher software. I have 1 system e/w 12 GB RAM & just about to bring a new online e/w 24 GB RAM ... the next will likely be 32 GB or 48 GB. Depending on the problem being solved the amount of RAM used ranges from ~2 GB RAM to many GBs. For problems with smaller...

    I want to know your i7 temps

    My office is not air conditioned so on days with temps approaching 32 C it will crash with it will easily approach 90 C. On those days I drop BCLK from 210 down to 205 or from 4.4 GHz to 4.29 GHz. I use a number cruncher which can run from a few hours to a few days. Some problems peg all of...

    Undercover Report From Foxconn's Hell Factory

    I worked for Foxconn, aka Hon Hai, and I visited that plant. Americans are treated a little bit different than Chinese. If you are Chinese but not from mainland China, you are a 3rd class citizen. If you have a PhD in any crap thing, you work 5 8 hour days; if not, you work 10 hour days with...
