    I'm not sure what you're selling here. The NF7-S? Or the 2500+ Barton? Both??? Is that $100 USD or CDN? (yes, I do live in Tdot) ygmp I guess

    Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 1, Revision 2 questions for an ATI AIW X800XT AGP

    Arctic silver 5 is better than alumina. I'm not sure what compound ATi uses. Sapphire seems to be using Shin Etsu, which is about as good as AS5.

    GPU block + ramsinks vs All-In-One

    No seriously these boards have planned obsolence. They don't want us to be using the same video card for 4 years, they want it to break and sell us a new and equally shitty video card. Don't you understand how the coporations think?

    GPU block + ramsinks vs All-In-One

    I still say that a 120mm fan blowing over your card owns ramsinks and a ramblock combined. Of course you could add ramsinks for extra 5mhz, but the fan would win you much more in the short run. In the long run, it will keep your card from dying for a bit longer. Video cards are very prone to...

    GPU block + ramsinks vs All-In-One

    Bah, the all-in-one blocks tend to be really bad blocks. And watercooling memory is a waste of time and money. Unless it's chilled, of course, but that's a different story. There isn't much point in putting ramsinks on memory either. The heat transfer on top of the chips _REALLY_ sucks, so it...

    How hot would a modern cpu get with no heatsink, and how fast?

    Yeah there was this thread on XS... some guy ran his venice as high as 1.2GHz (down from 2.0) without a heatsink. He had a powerful fan though. He could do stock 2.0GHz with a BGA ramsink on it. 1GHz with no fan but with an IHS on (the heatspreader easily quadriples the surface area).

    Presenting the AMD 586

    My first chip was a 12MHz 286 (made on an IBM fab I think). My first AMD chip was a 35MHz 386. w00t.

    Eclipse's Memory Bandwidth Contest!

    I wouldn't use Sandra to measure bandwidth. I mean, it's purely synthetic. I had a P3, that Sandra thought ran at 10GHz for some reason, and I had sky-high bandwidth scores to go along with that. That orange bar actually went out of the window all the way accross the desktop...

    So, Yonah is fast?

    I think that's actually the slow hard drive. Even 7200rpm feels slow to me, but my parents have a 4200 in their machine, and it's ridiculously slow. Takes like 7 minutes to boot windows. Gah.

    So, Yonah is fast?

    Of course it's not P6 in a way that Pentium Pro is P6, but... well, it was designed from the ground-up at the Israeli Intel facility, and they chose to base it heavily off the already-successful Pentium III, so in essence, it's very close to P6. Strikingly so. Now to address other posts that...

    So, Yonah is fast?

    It's no longer beating an A64 clock-for-clock :(. Dothan had 10-cycle L2 latency, and that was its bread and butter. IIRC, A64's have 17-cycle. Anyway, Yohah has 14-cycle latency, and as you can see, that's a 40% increase. Without an integrated memory controller, the Intel chips literally need...

    Yeah Unreal 1 was pretty long. I think the expansion, Return to Na Pali is even longer. Idk, I never actually beat it.

    2405fpw LCD vs. CRT - 40ms signal delay / latency for LCD users ?!?

    get a java IDE and compile + run his program. you still shouldn't use java for real-time stuff. The results would be horrendously inaccurate at best.

    2405fpw LCD vs. CRT - 40ms signal delay / latency for LCD users ?!?

    I don't know, if your ping is 100ms and you get signal delay of 40ms on your monitor... well, 40ms is significant.

    2405fpw LCD vs. CRT - 40ms signal delay / latency for LCD users ?!?

    You CANNOT use Java for any real-time stuff. For instance, there's GC running every now and then (which makes the execution pause), so you really have no control over how long things actually take.

    Bored..... pioneer days of OC'ing are over?

    Oh. Well, BF2 clearly suffers from a lack of features. 4 good maps, one game mode will only take you so far. I thought I would never put it away, but now that I'm a Gunnery Sergeant, I don't want to play anymore. Just bored of it as fuck. That's like... 85 hours of play time? I've spent over...

    Bored..... pioneer days of OC'ing are over?

    Yeah, some no-talent programmers write an engine that has piss-poor memory management, and leaks the memory on your video card, but instead of fixing it - they call it 'revolutionary', and everybody is happy. This is probably why I find myself playing an old, yet fun, Quake3 mod, War3 and...

    What keeps you going to Intel?

    P-M uses the same architecture as most of their other CPUs, the P6. The first P6 chip was the Pentium Pro, so you see, there really is a lack of innovation on Intel's side. They just finally decided to go with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy. Still one has to admit, P-M are...

    water on everything! :(

    Bah! Much easier to just laquer all your PCB, so that it will be completely insulated. You didn't have clamps? :eek: I once did a test loop in the bathtub with no clams, and it kept springing leaks 'cause of the pressure my pump put out. Never even considered skimping on tthe clamps.

    Ballistix = High Failure rate....?

    I'm pretty sure it could take it. Seen that thread, where they ran a Venice at stock using only a BGA ramsink for cooling it? Well, actually it depends on the heatsink design a lot too. A heatsink that's designed to be used with a fan wouldn't work very well as a passive. However, if you were to...

    Yes, and I got <30 with my BH-5. I think I should move to nF4... the BH-5 isn't getting nearly enough volts on this thing here; plus the s939 opterons look nice and promising. Edit: yes, the test is indeed very glitchy. I think it actually does measure the time it takes to read/write...
