Hey Steve, I found out what you use computers for!
To design the instructions on the back of cheap useless items such as the flashing safety device :D
Here's some of Steve's Finest work.
Honestly, between giving out physics lessons and the various faults of very popular and affordable CPU...
my ambient in here (computer lab) is 67F
in the ABIT KR7A bios it shows my system temp as 87F
and then the CPU temp as 114F....
someone do the conversion but I think I am around 10C over ambient with the system temp, then around 15C over that with the CPU. I figure it still will run less than...
I sent Frostytech.com an email telling them my "revelations" about the GC68 cooler, where they can buy it, etc.
I was wrong in previous posts about the Rise above Ambient temp - it is around 25 deg C. I was quoting rise above system temp which is about 13 deg C.....still, going by Frostytech's...
hehe. Not sure which I dislike more, incorrect information about overclocking or Chinenglish (whatever country your are from...).
Arguing On The Internet Is Like The Special Olympics: Even If You Win, You're Still Retarded. SEE?
:disgust:
I got in on this deal but now the rebateshq.com site is saying the rebate is for $15.00 instead of $20.00 :|
I am sending email and calling parago as I type this reply........
I want my #$*^&#$*&^ $5.00 :)
heh. you are giving physics lessons by quoting THG????:confused:
Here is a REAL physics lesson from Caltech University
notice the end:
Like I said, change the fan...... my temp rise above ambient was 15 deg C, with the GC68 w/ 32.5CFM fan and Artic Alumina in a super-thin layer. You do the...
no doubt, enlighten us as to where to buy an AMD XP anything for less than $66.00 and not wholesale either........
listen, threadcrapper, if you say I am ignorant, I would just assume the inverse is true.........
I have actually OWNED both coolers and am speaking from experience.........and...
I priced the DR Thermal VI-77L with a YS Tech 70MM TMD 38CFM 34dBa fan $25.00 at SVC.
You might then approach and surpass the cooling ability of the GC68 with the $2.95 fan, for about $15.00 dollars more, or approx. 25% of the cost of a AMD AGOIGA from newegg. And you would gain about 4dB more...
My comments on this cooler along with my using a cheap fan with it can be found in this thread:
here
STEVEJST is CALIGULA, a threadcrapper on FW as well. He must work for someone who sells overpriced coolers
and obviously doesn't understand that the GC68 cooler is HUGE with an 80MM fan, and...
You're right about the CODEGEN PSU but you are wrong about the TI-V77L, in both cooling capacity and board fitment.
The DR THERMAL TI-V77L is nice, has a copper insert and a cool heatsink design an all, but it's HUGE 70MM footprint that doesn't
"slope" upward like the GC68, doesn't allow...
OK I have figured out "stevejst" MUST BE the fidiot threadcrapper Caligula from this thread on FW HERE. Just going by the bad grammar/chinenglish or whatever you call that, and by trashing the GC68 which is obviously a popular choice. CHANGE THE FAN STEVE, it costs $3.00 from SVC :)
another...
sounds like my experience as well. I have bought three motherboards and several power supplies. The great thing is that they offer free shipping on the 'furbs so if you buy something with a low rate of failure IE: power supplies, etc
then you can get cases and PSU's cheaper separately than together
I scored one of the only two at the B&M OD in University area in Charlotte NC. Only had two and both were elixers' so I only got one. I am thinking about taking it back to BB and exchanging it for a Samsung stick :D
Only problem is I bet they cancel my rebate on that reciept............oh well :)
I got a AGOIA from newegg on Monday for $66....it rox. I also bought a refurb ABIT KR7A-RAID 133 for $60.....
it hit 10.5x166 w/ .1 volt increase but my HSF is too small so I will get a GC-68 from SVC and see wazzup
Just went to the closest Staples to Charlotte 20 minutes away! and scored a BB drive, but no ATA133 card and they had 3 drives in stock all BB .....
When I lived in Tampa there was a staples on every corner, I bet they have the liquid bearing drives dripping off the shelf.....
