Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yep, i've only heard good things about the Zalmans (except the weight of the full-copper one, nearly .5Kg!). Should make short work of cooling my OC'ed 1700+. I got it running stable at 1.661GHz using a Thermaltake Volcano 7 HS and 2.6krpm fan @ ~50deg celcius. That was standard voltage (didnt want to risk upping that due to cooling issues). I'd up it again (reset after flashing the latest BIOS onto my board), but my cpu has been 48-53 deg celcius idle since we've had this hotter weather :/ I'll wait a month or two and get the sweet cooler, then i can get OC'ing again :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mr_Protozoa Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 NB: Posting at 5am again, can't sleep. Please ignore spelling and grammer. MECX Mr_Protozoa you serious winxp pro Sp1 loads in 5 secs????? how do you do that then--my system is at the top and im running winxp pro SP1?? Yup it's true. Kinda. 5 secs (or a bit less) to LOAD WINDOWS from a hibernated state. Obviously this time doesn't inclue the bit before windows loads, POST, RAID setup etc..... I barely ever start windows from cold nowerdays, winXP is stable enough for me to use it for weeks without the need for a proper restart. This speed is mostly down to the RAID array I put in a few months ago, it's pretty funky. It does have a downside though. If one of the two drives dies I can't recover any of my data! :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to upgrade towards the end of summer up to a 3GHz P4, Zalman 7000 cooler and PSU, DVD±RW (Sony), Radeon9800Pro AIW, 2x160GB RAID0, SB Audigy 2, Sweet Aluminium case (Full Towers in steel are way too heavy!), Logitech MX700 (Ms is far too slow for me) and the keyboard from my old system (Just love natural goodness and the quick-keys).

Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Dell Smart PC 100N (laptop) 1.06GHz Intel Celeron M 256MB RAM 20GB HD 14.1" XGA TFT display Integrated Intel 3D AGP gfx card (rubbish) Internal Soundblaster compatible sound card (also rubbish) External USB floppy drive (it doesn't have an internal, or a serial port for that matter...) 4x USB external CD writer (yes ok, I should really buy a new one!) I've attached a pic of it when I had to take it apart when the keyboard completely failed... Not exactly what you expect with a Dell, but all that had happened was the keyboard connector had become unseated so I just had to wobble it around a bit. laptop keyboard surgery.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Matt Whitfield Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Jabba, don't worry - I was only using the hammer to losen some of the screws... I'd never taken my laptop apart before so some of the screws were super tight. So to sort this out I hammered the screw driver lightly on the problem screws, and hey presto - problem solved!
