    Post your "Ghetto Mod" pics

    I don't give it any foodstamps. It's awesome and leet, but I don't think it's ghetto at all.

    AMD Opteron or X2?

    I think they're architecturally identical, except that the Opteron has been manufactured with far more overhead/redundancy. For overclocking, Opteron every time as it's not on the limit at stock speeds and voltages. If not clocking, then it's your call. Please correct me if I've made a mistake.

    Melting cpu and heatsink together

    But it's given us a good idea! Respect to anyone who actually tries it out (as long as he's doing it in the knowledge that it isn't the norm and he risks ALL his hardware).

    Melting cpu and heatsink together

    Good luck. If it works, you're gonna be indirectly responsible for a new craze and the destruction of tens of thousands of CPUs :p

    A reliable DDC pump... ever likely to happen?

    Yeah, pumps don't *often* die, but when they do, it's absolutely devastating. If 1% of D5s die in their first year, and 3% of DDCs, I want a D5. By the way, I've messaged coolercases through their website form and asked for a pump RMA. I can only hope; it's been about 5 months.

    Why did you stop folding (F@H) on your C2D/C2Q/P4D?

    It would indeed go into a corner of your room, but it would spread out and the temperature would increase throughout the room. If it isn't enough to heat your room on its own, it will mean less energy is needed from your central heating - exactly the same amount less, in fact, than the wattage...

    HX520 Enough?

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to add anything to the answer - I'm sure it'll be absolutely fine, I was just moaning to myself. The HX520 could power a train, I think.

    Why did you stop folding (F@H) on your C2D/C2Q/P4D?

    I fold at about 400ppd (was 600 w/overclock) and have started to stop folding overnight. I haven't had any dreams at night for MONTHS, until I started turning off my PC. I now have vivid, exciting dreams every night! :D It's probably healthier for me.

    HX520 Enough?

    If an HX520 can power all that, then I think it can cope with an Opty 170, one hard drive, a DDC pump and a 7600GS. I therefore conclude that it wasn't a lack of power that made my DDC stop.:mad:

    Why did you stop folding (F@H) on your C2D/C2Q/P4D?

    I understand completely what you're saying, and agree - apart from one thing. Be aware that folding won't come up with a major breakthrough without that power in the first place. I wholeheartedly admire your donation, though - and you'll make just as much difference with that as you will by...

    Thermal paste question...

    I would, but if I'd run out of AS5 I could see myself not reapplying the paste but scraping it all into one blob and re-spreading it. Thermal pads don't work well at all after a reapplication. At least respread it - you know how you get the spiky surface of the paste when you've pulled the HSF...

    Thermal paste question...

    Was it paste or a thermal pad?

    Why did you stop folding (F@H) on your C2D/C2Q/P4D?

    It's 100% efficient. Any energy your PC draws from the mains WILL become heat in your room. Unless you have some kind of cooling-system-to-outside setup like a water loop buried in the ground, it will all be dumped in your room.

    A reliable DDC pump... ever likely to happen?

    headala: I'm on your wavelength. Perhaps buy a D5 and ebay the top and pump? Assuming the D5's the one with the rheostat, can I set it to be quieter than a DDC and still get the excellent flow I got (using 7/16" Masterkleer)? After reliability, quietness is the most important thing. I can...
