I've just finished work on the watercooling setup for my machine. Well - I thought I had. My pump is leaking like a seive and seemingly no amount of PTFE tape or silicone sealant seems to do the trick. Looks like a new one is in order. My current pump is an Eheim 1250. I'm running a Swiftech...

I've just tried to do some work finishing up my new rig (see below) when the strangest thing happened. This rig has been running on stock air cooling for a few weeks whilst I did some memory OC'ing tests and trying out Win XP 64. I even managed to squeeze some respectable RAM/HTT speeds out of...

I'm just about to get my LS up and running, after having put it to one side for about 6 months whilst I got the rest of the machine sorted out. I've just noticed that the LS has not come with a driver disk. I looked on the Vapo support page, and they have the Vapo Control Panel for download...

I'm building a new machine at the moment (see sig) and decided to go for a new monitor as well. At the moment, my old machine is hooked up to a 19" Iiyama VM Pro 450 CRT - I really like it, but feel the need for something bigger/better to go with my shiny new rig. I'll be using it mostly for...

I'm been running my new rig (see sig) for a while on stock cooling, just to make sure everything is OK, and to see how far the RAM will go (250 @ 3-3-3-8 1T, 2.75v so far). I have noticed that when running at low CPU multi's, and despite the heatpipe cooler, the NB is getting very hot indeed...

I decided to splash out on the Ballistix BL2KIT12864Z503 (2 x 1Gb), and ATM I'm seeing how high it will go before I start on the FX (I'm following the [H] A64 OC'ing guide for n00bs :rolleyes: ). I just finished my first runs, using MemTest to test for initial stability. I cranked my CPU...

I'm about to start my first foray into phase change cooling, by strapping a Vapochill LS to my FX-57. I'm finishing off the build fairly soon, then running with stock cooling to make sure everything is OK. So in the next couple of weeks or so, I'm going to have to get the LS up and running...

I'm getting a new rig up and running at the moment, based on this mobo. Unfortunately, my drive setup seems to be confusing it greatly. The idea is that the main SATA drives are in RAID-0, but with a single IDE drive for backup purposes. So, I have 2 SATA Raptors set up in striped RAID on the...

I'm upgrading my ye olde AthlonXP 2100 at the moment, and as I have some spare cash, I'm looking to put together a gaming uber-rig: A8n SLI Premium FX57 (with vapochill) 2Gb ??? RAM GeForce 7800s in SLI However, I'm not 100% sure of what memory to go for. I'm hoping for a good OC...

I'm in the process of getting the bits together for my new rig - it's going to be an FX-55 on either an Asus or DFI mobo, and I'm aiming for 3GHz+ using a VapoChill LS. However, I'm a bit of a n00b with the A64 architecture and I'm unsure what memory to go for. I want 2Gb RAM, which I think...

I've just bought a Lightspeed LS for my first foray into phasechange. I'm also moving from SocketA to A64 at the same time and haven't yet bought my mobo (waiting for Asus A8N Premium). My LS arrived with the Socket 478/754/940 mounting kit - obviously I was expecting it to include Socket...

For a while, I've been spammed with 'mail delivery failed' receipts from random usernames on my pop3 account. My PC was (I thought) clean according to AntiVIR and Spybot. I assumed a spammer had phished my email address or something. The mail seemed to come in groups of a few days at a time...

I am a complete Linux n00b trying to get to grips with Mandrake 9.2. I've done pretty well in that I've managed to get everything working on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 laptop (including my awkward office net routing - yay) apart from the Totem media player. Not bad considering that up until...

I'm waiting on socket 939 ATM, but I feel that my rig (see sig) needs a bit more power to get by until then. Rather than whack in a 2600 Thoroughbred-B just yet, I thought I'd rather have a crack at OCing my Palomino. Well, first crack at proper OCing at all :eek: I've not unlocked it, but...

I've decided to take the plunge and run Red Hat Linux (Shrike) on my Toshiba laptop (the rig in my sig will be WinXP Pro). However, I'm a total Linux virgin - can anyone link me to some useful resources to get me started (I already have the documentation CD)? Thanks! [k]

Thanks xonik. Is there likely to be a major difference in performance between 940 (stable server) and 939 (performance desktop)? I want the power for gaming, so I'll be throwing in a 9800XT and 1gb RAM, but what I don't want is to be left with relatively slower cpu/mobo/ram in 3 months time when...
