I have something on the order of $750 to spend on speakers and a receiver. I would like to listen to FLAC audio and play my guitar through the x-fi. I'd also like to be able to watch movies in a small to medium size room (possibly a dorm room) but I definitely don't want surround or a sub yet...
I bought a Venice 3200 because I had heard they were monster overclockers. (Reviewers claiming 2.8 from 2.0 stock with stock cooling and voltage)
The most I can get is 2.6 out of my chip, and that's with watercooling and voltage rasied to 1.55 (which is the most my board will allow.) I've tried...
I was experiencing temps on my moderate-flow setup of 27-28 idle, 36-38 load. I thought they were a bit high so I built myself a radiator shroud (BIP2) out of some spare aluminum case panels. (Really I just wanted an excuse to play with the dremel.) 20-30 cutting wheels later, I attached the...
I have 2x512 corsair 3200XL rated at 2-2-2-5 at FSB=200mhz and a AMD64 3200 (Venice)
I've found that I can't really bring the FSB higher than ~235mhz. I suspect that I need to increase my ram speed but the freaking motherboard has increments of 66mhz! WTF? So right now it's at 200@1.75V...
I had replaced my stock cooling with the very shitty thermaltake bigwater SE kit. The pump failed two days ago (after about a month of use) but I didn't realize it. I used the computer for a day until I noticed artifacting (6600GT is in the loop as well.) I pop open the machine and see that the...
Dishwashing detergent effectively reduces the surface tension of water. I figure adding a few drops to my current loop would improve flow rates dramatically. Anyone have a contrary opinion?
Okay so I was sitting here, frustrated that I had no materials with which to further mod my Tt Armor. So I figure I might pick something up in the building's basement. I found a friggin webTV in the original packaging with keyboard and cables and everything. Sure, it's not worth shit but...
