| 332450 | 2005-03-11 08:46:00 | Send me that Lan-li Bruce and I'll give it a custom chop, Similar to the job I done on mine, Though these are true custom jobs, No two are the same. sal.neoburn.net Can you believe I managed to do that with only an electric drill and a set of pliers? Amazing I know. |

| 332453 | 2005-03-15 00:23:00 | The heat spike appears pretty localised. Unlike my heat problems last year, where case temp went noticeably up, with this particular issue the case temp only rises a little bit, but the CPU temp rockets from an idle temp of 39-41 up to 68-69 in a few minutes. I've come to the conclusion that I must have messed up the installation of the heatsink/fan when I built the PC a while back. As Tweak says, the standard unit should be adequate. It looks to me like its functioning at only moderate efficency and when the load really goes on, it loses the plot big time. But never one to let an opportunity pass I've decided to replace it anyhow with one of those Thermalright Xp-120s and use some Artic Silver 5 compound for no other reason than I want to see what happens :-) And while I might do a water-cooled job one day, it won't be on my PC. I still can't get my head round the concept of mixing water with electronics ..... |

| 332454 | 2005-03-15 00:34:00 | Can you believe I managed to do that with only an electric drill and a set of pliers? Looks like what I had to do when my cat fell down behind our pantry trying to catch a dumb bird (which had already fallen down behind the panty). The whole unit was sealed except (obviously) from above and the only way I could get the cat out was to take a drill to the inside, punching enough holes through the customwood to allow me to knock out a "window" for the cat to crawl through. My workmanship was every bit as precise as yours .... |

| 332456 | 2005-03-16 00:07:00 | Darn, the Xp-120 won't fit in my case. Never mind. But I've taken the heatsink off, cleaned it and the CPU off with the old isopropyl alcohol, and then reset it using some Artic Silver 5. It's going to take a while to thoroughly burn in but initial results are encouraging - doesn't peak above 56, over a 10 degree drop at this point. I'll have to see how it is a few days from now. |
