Confirmation

Updated 06-30-09 at 03:01 AM by LoneWolf3574 (new information)

I just got the confirmation email from SVC on my order . I'm just giddy with joy and can't wait for it to get here.

I do think that after I install my new Megahalems cooler and check my temperatures, I'll finally convert over to RAID-0 and run Windows 7 Ultimate x64 RC until it runs out in June. Dual boot is nice, but I always end up running one OS over the other, so I don't see much sense in doing it. Hopefully SmartDoctor for my EAH4890 works in W7, I'll have...

Little Johnny is Back.

Posted 06-29-09 at 09:47 AM by gtarmanrob

a little Johnny joke, an oldy i think but a classic.

A woman brings eight-year-old Little Johnny home and tells his mother that he was caught playing doctors and nurses with Mary, her eight-year-old daughter.

Little Johnny's mother says, "Let's not be too harsh on them.... they are bound to be curious about sex at that age."

"Curious about sex?" replies Mary's mother. "He's taken her appendix out!"

Joke Time

Posted 06-29-09 at 09:46 AM by gtarmanrob

its that time, i've got some rippers.

"Have you heard? Theres now a new Viagra, in liquid form. They say its a stiff drink"


I was walking down the road when I saw an Afghan bloke standing on a fifth floor balcony shaking a carpet.

I shouted up to him, "What's up Abdul, won't it start?"


I just saw that Harry Potter film. A bit unrealistic if you ask me. I mean, a ginger kid, with two friends? (no offense...

New Heatsink on the way.

Well, I've thrown in the towel and decided that whatever my the cause of heat issue, it seems to primarily point back to the Xigmatek HDT-S1283. However great everybody else thinks HDT is, it's not working for me. I'll go with the flat, thin base on the heatsink from now on. I did notice that BenchmarkReview updated their thermal interface material test to 80 from 33 and included method and enthusiast ratings for the TIMs.

I've gone ahead and ordered a Prolimatech Megahalems with...

Confusion

Posted 06-27-09 at 11:07 PM by LoneWolf3574

OK, I'm all confused now. Temperatures are back near normal again, although I do think a 1C change since updating to the 1303 BIOS revision is strange (core temp = ~44-45C ).

I've changed nothing, but I did notice while I was rummaging around in the BIOS that the VCore is 1.481V. I remember having read that the "stock" voltage for this cpu is 1.35V and it's range is 0.875-1.5V, hmm, . I manually set the voltage starting at 1.2V and raised it in 0.025...
