Is it really possible to get all the @#%$ out of a Thermochill PA rad????
Yeah, it's an issue. Me, I've used a cycle of 5 minutes flushing out of the hot tap in my sink, followed by letting some of that hot water sit in the rad for 30 minutes. Pour the water into a container and see what comes out. Every 5 flushes or so, fill with vinegar and let soak for 5 minutes...- MpG

Swiftech Unveils New High Performance MCP35X Pump.
I'm not seeing a huge difference in the pumping curve compared to existing DDC 3.2's, but that PWM sure is nice. And when you consider that the DDC's are currently selling for ~$70, plus another $25 for a top, the price doesn't seem that farfetched. Makes me tempted to see if I can't flip my...- MpG

New Swiftech H20-X20 Edge cooling kits
Yeah, I was pretty sure who you were as soon as I saw "Gabe" :biggrin: I'm open to being corrected, of course. And would to love to see a P/Q curve for it, although I expect it would be tricky with the radiator in the way. But to judge from the pictures, the intake into the pump doesn't look...- MpG

APB Shuts Down
Sounds like they royally screwed the pooch when it came to dealing with botters/hackers, which basically scared off too many legit players. A shame, if only because it sends out the message that the market doesn't want anything different. -
Need headset/headphones for Games/Music/Movies - PC350?
Perhaps, but I had to drill out the earcups before the bass response was acceptable, and that was with a proper headphone amp. But then again, my reference was my hd650's. -
Need headset/headphones for Games/Music/Movies - PC350?
As an owner of the 350's, I can vouch that they're good for gaming (very good isolation and microphone especially), but the music aspect takes a bit of a back seat as a result, especially with genres that thrive on bass. And yes, they really do need something more than the usual onboard sound to... -
"Profanity" on HWC
It's a non-issue for me. If you really need to get some strong emotions across, and some asterisks aren't enough, well, there's worse things than having to take a few more moments to better word your posts. Besides, as a truck driver, I'm pretty much saturated with profanity (to say nothing of... -
Man Vs. Food
It may not be absurdly huge, but the 72oz steak challenge at the Amarillo Steak House is still worthy of note, and I can personally vouch for the stomach pains afterward. -
Corsair Announces New Line of Gaming Power Supply Units
Yeah, I knew there was a reason a part of me was getting nervous. But least they're not branding it with some gamer's logo. But if they can pull it off, awesome. Not everybody wants the cream of the crop, and it's always nice to have a wider variety of dependable PSU's to recommend to people on...- MpG

Help me please QX9650!
You don't really "finish" P95, but the iterations will normally finish at slightly different intervals. This is random, since all the cores are getting their data off the same bus, so from time to time different cores will happen to get their data slightly quicker.- MpG

Get a 1tb or wait for ssd?!
If you need more mass storage, you'll wait years before SSD's become a viable option in that respect. -

New Swiftech H20-X20 Edge cooling kits
The prices do seem just a little high. Even the pump-less units, when you compare them to the cost of a rad+pump top+reservoir, there's really no bargain happening there. Add to that the fact that the unit will likely not perform on equal with a seperate top, and those little res spaces can be...- MpG

Do you have a fast brain?
I'm ashamed to admit that condom and sex didn't occur to me for some bizarre reason. But otherwise, I'm perfectly healthy. :whistle: -
Help me please QX9650!
Agreed. The 45nm Bloomfields are notorious for temperature differences across cores. I observed the same thing back when I was running my own QX9650. As for getting your proc higher, it's hard to say. Mine definitely didin't like high FSB's - anything over 430 tended to crap no matter what, so...- MpG

Steam's got a demo for that game too (probably available elsewhere as well). -

EVGA Debuts X58 SLI3 Motherboard with Affordable Price
Wouldn't expect much difference between this and the LE. Toasty hot NB, thanks to a heatsink that's almost as stupidly designed as Gigabyte's revolutionary "Waterblock on top of fins" design. But it'll certainly manage a stable 4GHz out of an i7 processor.- MpG
