    watercooled acrylic case, WIP

    So I got myself an acrylic case.... The blue cable is going soon (that's why it is in front), and I am refitting my mini LCD to go in the top two bays so please ignore that area. The top 120mm fan in the front also needs to be sleeved but i just threw it in for now to take up the space...

    Opteron 165 OC help

    OK guys i have a problem and i cannot figure it out. I just received my Opteron 165 yesterday and I am unable to get beyond 210MHz HTT. I have dropped the HTT multi to 3X, the ram divider to 1:2, and even tried upping the Vcore to 1.45. Everything is the same as the rig in my sig except the PSU...

    new shop/new case 56K Beware

    so i got a new shop and needed to revamp my case a bit for display. Turns out going to the dual 120mm rads actually dropped my GPU temps a couple degrees. before i had a dual 120mm heatercore and this time I put one of the 120mm rads between the CPU and GPU/NB. My CPU temps are exactly the same...

    Look what valve brought me today!

    So i get a call from a friend saying they have this modded case that has a bad pump in it and can i fix it. Of course i said yes. Turns out its the Black Mesa 2 that Piloux made for Valve! Sadly the Aluminum reservoir reacted quite badly with all the copper in the radiator and CPU block creating...

    Triple socket A cooler madness

    this all started with this thread at first i just wanted to see what temps my old NF7-S chipset would get with an old microfin cooler strapped on there. suddenly it mushroomed into a full blown media PC. things that still need finishing include making a more permanent and asthetic mount for the...

    quick n dirty passive NB cooling

    here is yet another CPU cooler modded to fit a chipset. our victim this time is one of those old microfin socketA coolers that came with the thin little green fan on top. you guys remember those right? they can still be found for about 4 bucks. rip the fan and shroud off, grind a semicircle in...

    Project: Transfusion

    ok here is the beginning on my next project. just got another heatercore at autozone. this one is part#39 9078 eg the fedco 2-302. so far i've just put the barbs on. still needs to be bondo'd and painted once it all cures. i also added a little magnum weld for added strength and to bulk the...

    changing blocks need advice...

    I am wanting to change my blocks so that i can just run a single line instead of splitters. that means i want to go to all 3/8" barbs at least but i would prefer 1/2" barbs (i like the clampless look of 3/8" over 1/2" barbs). I will probably change the CPU cooler to an Apogee and the GPU to a...

    If i were to buy a Twinplex for my setup i would need to flip the mounting bracket over because my mounting holes are placed on the opposite corners of the chipset. will this work? TN maybe?

    My lame A8N-SLi Deluxe experience

    OK, so i have had my A8N for about 4 months now and it seemed to be working fine albeit pretty weak in the overclock department. for the last 2 weeks i have been trying to help my friend through some problems with his machine wich was almost identical to mine. I finally tracked the issue down to...

    i feel like i should be getting more out of this...
