    capacitor on G71 fell off

    Pulled 7900GTX out of PC, set it on desk. Then *pop!* a capacitor fell off :eek: Probably attributable to the fact that it's a second-hand card off [H], or I f:mad:cked something while trying to wrestle card into the wiring hell that is the P180. Please please please... PLEASE tell me...

    motherboards and antistatic bags

    FS: S939 mobo and A64 3700

    Foxconn NF430 K8MA-8EKRS mATX SOLD Has IGP; Geforce 6150, only VGA output (no DVI) mATX. Top slot is PCI-E x16, other three are PCI. The heatsink covering the NB (IGP?) Get buttrapingly hot, so you might want some airflow on them. I'd like to note that because the aforementioned heatsink...

    Wifi disconnects

    My stock WRT54GL was really unstable with my WiFi connection, so I flashed it to DD-WRT v23 SP2. It was perfectly fine for a day, and then the problem came back. Tried overclocking it, resetting to factory default, turning off WPA. when it manages to connect, it disconnects me...

    Help! Please!

    So after my failed attempt to get wireless networking to work a couple months ago on this PC with a Linksys WMP54G, I stick the card in an older family comp, and it works flawlessly. So I decide to try again with a Foxconn WLL-3350, and I get the EXACT SAME issue I had with the other one...

    Where to buy aluminum online?

    I need to buy aluminum material to build a case from scratch, but if I buy from a place like online metals, it costs more than a Lian-Li V-1100! and McMaster doesn't have the aluminum bar dimensions I want. So where can I buy aluminum..... reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally cheaply?

    so I got Rainbow Six 3, installed it, started up the game, and BAM! screen minimizes. undaunted, I click on the game's tab in the task bar, maximize the screen, try to play again. Then BAM! screen minimizes again. Repeat a bajillion times. it's really starting to piss me off. Any ideas?

    Custom case concept... revised, with mock-ups.

    So a while back, I posted a messed up picture of a whiteboard with chickenscratches everywhere in a "mad scientist" fashion. It was basically a dual-chamber design, made out of polycarbonate sheets. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1076710 but Lexan scratches easily (those of you...

    What I have for my WC loop so far

    It's sooooo awkward when you meet a [H]ardForumer in real life if you've never met the dude in question before, much more awkward when the only reference picture you have of the man in question comes from the Soylent Green worklog on Bit-Tech... but I digress. for $55 CAD (or $3 USD), I got...

    Linksys going screwy

    So I get a brand spankin' new WMP54G and a WRT54GL from my favorite local computer store (there are craploads here in Greater Vancouver...). I promptly do a covert installation op, since I'm not really supposed to have an internet connection in my room. It constantly drops connections, my IP...

    WTX-mod that Centurion 5!

    Normally, WTX-modding a case would require drilling out a crapload of rivets, flipping some stuff around, and reattaching the rivets. That crap takes hours to do. HOWEVER: you can just as easily WTX-mod your system if it has those tool-less drive retention mechanisms. Why? because the mounting...

    3/8" NPT barbs in Vancouver?

    In their perpetual attempt to screw potential consumers over before they even BUY hardware, NTCW sells the Swiftech MCR220 rad but NO CORRESPONDING BARBS :eek: . It`s not even in their frikkin` Fittings and Tubing section. I thought $50.25 was a damn good price for the MCR220 when NCIX...

    burning TV stuff onto a DVD

    so... my co-worker approached me at work today, with a puzzling question: She can record crap from her TV to her PC through a TV tuner, but she can`t burn it onto DVDs. However, the media can still be accessed on the hard drive. The problem is, this is Japan: It`s most likely one of...

    Audio positioning with Sony MDR-XD200

    Just bought a Sony MDR-XD200 for the equivalent of roughly $32 (Those damn Japanese people now include the tax in the price tag... WHY DON`T WE!?) in Japanese money... and giving it a test run on a lappy at grandpa`s place. So anyways... The positioning of the audio sounds like everything...

    mini-ITX "piggy-backing" an LCD...

    I`ve been in Japan for a scant half weeks, and I`ve already got the Japan syndrome... EVEN MICRO-ATX BOARDS NOW APPEAR TO BE HUGE. So what if I make a little enclosure for a Presler 930-based mini-ITX system and bolted it to the back of ny current LCD? Would that work, or would I have to...

    Pro-120 or MCR-120; MCW6000 or MP-05

    How much more heat can a Dtek Pro-120 heater core dissipate than a Swiftech MCR-120? And if I "daisy chain" 5 waterblocks in a single loop with an MCP655 (CPU, GPU, MOSFET, NB, SB), would it be necessary to use a low-restriction block like an MCW6000, or can I still use an MP-05 SP LE?

    Bunch o' Q's

    Going to Japan, working for gramps, upgrading to Conroe with money earned, blah blah blah.... so anyways: 1) Does a TDX offer enough performance gain over an MCW6000 to justify the extra $10 I'd have to pay? 2) How loud is a D5 at max settings, and at what setting does the D5 rival the...

    Give me suggestions for a case mod/construction

    Quick! Anything! It's gotta be compact, it's gotta be light, LAN friendly, and it's gotta fit an ATX mobo, 2 HDDs, an OCZ Powerstream, and a watercooling loop. I need something to do, to prevent mom from screaming at me for doing nothing. Doesn't matter whether it's a case mod, or making a case...

    Swiftech Relay Kit

    QPack PSU discussion thread

    My friend is convinced that his QPack's power supply is perfectly fine, and is trusting that piece of crap to power his PC, even after I linked him to jonnyguru's review. Let's hear those QPack horror stories, to convince him that it's worth splurging on a power supply!

    couple questions for Fragbox 2 owners

    1) Is the top handle removable? I'd like to watercool it, and I'm planning on using an Asetek Waterchill Xternal for that purpose 2) How much vertical clearance is there between the CPU socket and the power supply? 3) If I use a power supply with a sh**load of cables (such as my OCZ...

    Pump placement

    Where the heck can an AquaXtreme50Z pump be placed in a Lian-Li PC65 without any serious modding or rendering any slots on an ATX mobo useless? Does the damn pump really have to be at the lowest point of a loop? I don't have either PC65 or AX50Z, but plan on getting them the moment I get on my...

    120.3=overkill?

    Will be cooling eVGA 7800GT, NF4 northbridge and a Sandy 3700. Was considering 120.3, until I realised how %$@^ large it is. Is the triple rad overkill for a non-SLI, un-overclocked system, and am I just fine with a 120.1 BIP...

    Masterkleer or Tygon

    Watercooling parts for small-bore tubing is expensive as hell =P So... will MCT-5 f*** up Masterkleer tubing (as in, leave weird residue in the tubing wall or stain it), or should I go with the laboratory-grade Tygon? In the event that neither tubing will be affected by MCT-5, which one would...

    BIP3 question

    recycled from another post, because nobody bothered answering... basically, it was asking whether a single-pass BIP3 or a dual-pass BIP3 would be more appropriate for an 8mm loop consisting of two Innovatek CoolMatic G70 blocks, a NB block, a CPU block and an Aquatube when paired with an...

    AP1510 question

    Okay, the description for the AP1510 is a tad confusing, or I'm really stupid: http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-pmp-40.html does the pump draw power from the PSU, or does it draw power from an AC power outlet?

    NV-78 question

    Does the NV-78 turn my GPU into a two-slot card, or does it remain a single-slot card? One would argue that I'm wasting my money on a full-coverage block, but the MAZE 4 block takes up two slots and is fuck ugly. I'm getting a DFI LANPARTY SLI-DR mobo soon, want to go SLI, so I need the two PCI...

    hard drive cooling

    Exactly how much cooling does a hard drive (or two) really need? Does it need any airflow at all? Wondering about hard drive location for custom case I'm thinking of building, hard drive I have right now is a Samsung SP2004C, will get a second one soon.

    DFI vs. ASUS

    A8N-SLI Deluxe or DFI LANPARTY SLI-DR? I'm looking for better stock performance, not major overclockability. Maybe will do some minor overclocking once I get my hands on a watercooling loop, after buying a bunch of other sh** I want first... Here's my setup so far, moving up from a crap Foxconn...

    passive rad question

    So I got the blueprint for a clear case done, taking into account the size of an Innovatek Konvekt-o-Matic. The MAXI claims to dissipate more heat than a dual-rad, but a quick calculation revealed that the damn thing would stick up about 6" from the right side of the case. The non-MAXI however...

    Southbridge mounting holes

    Protect-N question

    http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-liq-19.html by "1 litre" and "ready to use," I'm assuming that this is something I can just pour into a brand spakin-new, not yet filled watercooling loop instead of having to mix it and stuff first?
