This doesn't look like bridging traces like we used to, this looks like strips of flexi pcb, with no traces... you paying 15$ for a piece of electrical tape. All you have to do is block the correct 11 (by my count) pads and your good to go. I would guess that nail polish would be more permanent...

You guys do realize you bumped a thread for 6 years ago...

You won't be able to get zip ties tight enough to be usefull. If you don't mess with it the chances of it poping off are slim to none, what you need are worm clamps. However if you put a worm clamp on there while it will permanently fix the issue it will certainly void your warranty.

I know you got it working again, but I cant help but feel like you might want to expect a PSU failur in your future. Watch your voltages.

If there's a weak link, its the psu. Not saying its not enough power, 600w is about right, but I would go with a corsair hx650. Its a good trusted PSU. Every thing else looks like it would be well balanced. I assume you are going to put a large HDD in for storage and only keep the stuff you use...

a right handed keyboard is right up your ally if you a gamer, instead of useing: 1234 q w e r asd fg shift zx {ctrl} {alt} Space you get to use the number pad, my best friend when I was a kid was a lefty and would remap to the num pad, he had just a standard logitech 3 button mouse (pre laser...

maybe im just not seeing it, but it looks like your lacking a pump?

Heh... I know the answer to this.. but no... learn some manners, apologize and maybe we will see... The [H]ard|Forum Rules: (1) Absolutely NO FLAMING, NAME CALLING OR PERSONAL ATTACKS. Mutual respect and civilized conversation is the required norm. ;)

Or drop said screw driver and bust off some SMD component... done that before.

I've been around for a long, long year ;)

The only reason I compare it to phase change would be on the order of time spent vs return on investment. I hadn't considered surface area and weather it would even be possible to cool the chip quick enough. You might have to find a way to jet the water so that it is moving very quickly on the...

The issue is, if your going to bother going with the hassle of de-lidding and water cooling, and trying to fab a block, then getting the damn thing water tight, and only getting a degree or 2 at best with direct die vs de-lidded and a normal water block, then you might as well go phase change...

if they are i7 based macs, you might be able to W/C them as well, it might take modifying after market coolers... i have never tried this with a mac, but you might look into it in the mac forums...

Noise is noise, running duct work can create its own noise... you can insulate it as well, but hard parts can also rattle. Air makes more noise than water, not saying it is not doable, but you might want to call in a pro for advice, they do have flexible ducts and such, but from my experience...

The issue here is that adding fans to the outside of the case completely ruins the purpose of this case. Water cooling on the hot side can be made damn near silent, but you have to move the heat out of the case, and into an external rad, external radiators even the larger ones require fans to...

might be a better layout than my g9x... there are a few features the g9x has that i may not be able to leave behind... imho its the mouse to beat...

Here, I got you a basket full of care.

So, not the right answer, but the simple solution. Why not set it to reboot + 1 hour... You want the server to reset at 6, it thinks it's 5, set it to 7... Reboots at 6.

They do, but they are 1200$, direct die phase change units... they make duel units, for 2 cpus, but none for vid cards, as the head at the top of the unit is usually rather tall (by head, i mean the cooling block) The reason I suggest a old ac unit and a ice chest is because you can hide the...

Sounds like your best bet is going to be multi loop cascade style circulation chiller. Basically tear down an old a/c window unit put the cold side inside of a really big ice chest. And the hot side out... Run your loops into the chest, the hard part is keeping the window unit from freezing up...

this is what really pisses me off, mothballing a great program with no successor. I know the ships where old, they where old 10 years ago... and that's when they should have started building the new ones. Tech has come along way, I'm sure we could get more power from the engines, while using...

been done, dose not work, better bet, if you have the parts would be a cascade chiller... but they are still noisy/expensive. and you have to know what your doing... next best thing is more like a swamp cooler, but just for your PC. Called a bong cooler. (poor mans phase change) high flow...

Having been playing the beta, my 5830 1gb runs the game very well at 1080p usually well over 60fps, but the v sink will kick in in very heavy battles and drop it into the 30s, so if you can get a slim card in the range of a 6750 or better , and at least 1gb of vram, you should be good... Now, I...

Run down to your local grocery store/ Walmart get a banana hanger, won't cost you nearly 20$ you get it today, and it can be set on your desk quite easily.

Perhaps what the op was trying to ask, was if his monitor is infact a 2560*1440 panel... If it really does have the extra pixels, and was being sold as a 1080p monitor. Or rather, if it is scaling the 2560*1440 back to 1080p (more likely ) I'm pretty sure he gets that you can't magically make...

Sorry, I typed that up on my phone, and while it sounded ok in my head, I realize the suggestion sounded like I meant to do it on the other side of the board, when in fact I simply meant on the other side of the break in the trace. something else to consider is that you need to make sure that...

How I would have done it, and yes I have done it befor, and had it work when done. Nail polish over the Fuck ups, don't even deal with that spot. To the upper left is a solder pad ( or a test pad / through hole.... Whatever.) With the traces well covered, find a place on the other side that is...

She has had a bunch of sea men in her... :D It's always sad to see something with so much history get set aside...but, let's hope its in the name of bigger/ greater ships

Was I the only one hoping it was going to go ape shit and smash the dry erase board when it went to pick it up?

I have know of many issues with speakers popping in the presence of cell phones, and some wireless routers, turn off their radios, and see if it helps. Next would be trying to route the speaker power and audio cables away from all other pc cables.... I assume you have tried plugging the...

You know I never thought about it,but Styrofoam, peanuts and the like, could esd your shit. I'm thinking pillows, or pillow cases filled with peanuts. Like I said, I didn't have any issues. But who knows. And yeah some drainage of the system would be wise and if you have some way to leave it...

Yup, drain it. No sence moving the extra weight. Make sure every thing is held down securely, any thing held down by screws should be double checked, if your cards are held in by plastic clips and can be replaced by screws, do so. If your cooler is held down by plastic clips ( am2-3) cut and...

Shoulda been a better shot and got him in the head - surfers

Depending on the hold down style, it could be that the new cooler is putting to much pressure on the socket, breaking contact somewhere. If its possible, try loosening it up just a touch. Hell I have ran with a case on its side, and the cooler just sitting on the cpu, and it was a case of to...

When in doubt, pull out.

Your card would be in flames long befor that plastic would melt from your gpu overheating... Leave it on and protect the pins, unless it is really clashing with your color scheme and you just can't take it. Won't really hurt either way.

they are kinda one time use... you can push them in and re use them if you want to... but why, they dont help with noise reduction, the only reason to use them is to shave a few seconds off assembly time vs. using screws. brand new they are closed, insert, and push the button home... once they...

just did some digging on the ram issue... the diamonds are 1375 mhz, the xfx are going to be 1425 (tdbc<- black edition) or, 1375 (tnfc<- reference), but again, just because they are the same speed, dose not mean they have the same timings, and even if they have the same timings, they may not be...
