Anyway regrading the trade that's a tough one. The TT (Tuniq Tower) is an excellent cooler and the odds that he would trade straight across are slim if he knows his stuff. I would say your best bet is to offer a trade and some cash. How mush cash depends on what you get with the cooler (i.e. does it include all the mounting hardware, none, or some? Is the fan still in working condition? Etc.).

Just to give you an idea of what they're worth I paid $40 shipped for mine and it was only 3 months old. That included all of the hardware and it was packed in the original box.

im guessing its a straight up trade. 9700 for Tuniq. he says hes reliable, and has good scores on heatware (wth is that??) and ebay. he says it has all the mounting hardware and packing.

Eh; I think running the RAM at JEDEC 3-3-3-8-2T should not be a problem. Do not expect to go much above DDR266 though.

As for your ambient question: there is nothing wrong with low ambients. For most of the year, I run the lowest ambients of the club. I see absolutely nothing wrong running your rig in a low ambient condition; run what you brung and all that.

**txtmstrjoe** · 08-22-08

Just for the record, I want to declare that, amongst everybody in this Club, I think I consistently have the highest ambient temperatures. When I get home from work, my room is a toasty 32 degrees C during the summers. thlnk3r even sometimes fears for my health (because he's seen me in person and knows that it's tough to live in a sauna during the summers).

You don't see me crying about high ambient temps too much in the context of the contest, do you?

Unless I am mistaken, you have central air conditioning in your domicile. Joe does not. Besides, in Las Vegas, it is a dry heat. In Los Angeles, it is a smoggy heat.

When it comes to the winter, I am the first to admit that I do not have the coldest outdoor temps; I have seen occasionally colder by Nate and a few of the Canadians. What I do have is the penchant not to turn the heat on. Occasionally, I open the windows and/or door. Sub-10º C ambients for the win?

I am not saving any money by not using the natural gas in the winter though. Any gains there are immediately lost to the central air in the summer.

GuardianOdin · 08-22-08

In the winter I run a air duct to my case from outside. Case temp is cool 16c and the CPU normally runs 40'sC on load give or take depending on the temp out side.

iandroo888 · 08-22-08

yah i have central air but considering the design of the house and how the thermostat is set and number of electronics radiating heat in a small area, it sux. lol. i cant even oc in the summer. i dropped my oc like 140 mhz to get load temps in 50s..

blitz6804 · 08-22-08

Question for you: why? There is nothing wrong with load temps in the 50s. Only twice have I ever broken 60º C; S&M at my present 2801 MHz, and SuperPi at 3109 MHz. Thermal spec for your CPU is 65º C; why not get to the point where S&M tops at 63-65º C?
