2,500!

This is kinda radical, but can you swap the Socket from an LGA775 board to another?

I can see you Ketxxx You know you want to try it...

8:15am.. one of the 4830s has shown up

 

[MoonPig]

lol, Mine?

 

[Ketxxx]

Nope, replacement from ebuyer... itching to rip the stock cooler off it as XFX put way too much paste on the core, but at the same time I want to see how cool it runs but I can't because I'm DLing something at a painfully slow rate and it won't finish for another hour or so

 

[Studabaker]

Hey guys, are all P45 boards missing tRC? Why is it gone?

 

[Ketxxx]

Its been replaced on most boards with a form of clock twister, which does a similar job. If you want to edit TRC directly you will have to use spdtool.

 

[Ketxxx]

has anyone tried using mr. muscle window cleaner on their tft/lcd before? I just noticed some nasty splodgy streaks on my flatron and I'm out of screen wipes.

 

[alexp999]

Be careful with that stuff, you are not supposed to use anything other than a damn cloth of LCDs.

 

[Studabaker]

I just use a damp paper towel followed by a dry one and mine always looks great.

 

[Dice]

Bet it works as a "wank station" for you too

Dosn't sound like Moonpigs the one with the crusty screen Ketxxx

Question for you fellows since google is failing me... either that or 3:33AM is catching up...

P5Q-e the esata port on the back of the motherboard does it support port multiplication/replication?

Also with e-sata is it a single 300Gb/s bus? so if i split the port all the drives would be sharing a single 300Gb/s bus?

I just use a damp paper towel followed by a dry one and mine always looks great.

I tried using just water then drying, its left faint water smears. My screen isn't "shiny", its a matt finish.

[Ketxxx]

Right, long day.. College dragged on. But i got this email:

Dear Mr Reall
Thank you for your enquiry to Consumer Direct dated the 5th May 2009. Your reference number for this case is YH 560183 and should be quoted in all further correspondence regarding this case.
I understand your query relates to a motherboard you purchased from Overclockers UK on the 28th March 2009 and paid £112.98 by debit card. When the goods arrived you found them to be faulty, contacted the trader but then after viewing information about the trader on the internet decided to repair yourself. The motherboard failed again and you returned the item to the trader who has confirmed that the motherboard has suffered misuse and will not assist you further.
I would advise that you have statutory rights for items under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (as amended), all goods supplied by a trader to a consumer must be of a satisfactory quality, fit for their purposes, and as described. However this act does not cover any items which may fail due to wear and tear or misuse.
If a trader is carrying out repairs to your possessions then they have a duty of care and if they cause damage may be liable to put this right free of charge. The difficulty you have is proving that the trader has caused the damage to the motherboard. You could obtain a second opinion on the faults with the motherboard, but this may not prove who has caused the damage.
Practically I would suggest for you to formalise a complaint in writing to the trader detailing all events and requesting that they respond to your letter within the next 14 days. Send any letter recorded delivery or certificate of postage and keep a copy.
If the trader fails to resolve this then unfortunately, I feel you may struggle in obtaining any further redress.
I trust the above information is of some assistance to you. If you require any further information or clarification on this case please do not hesitate to contact Consumer Direct quoting your reference number.
Yours sincerely

Elise Sutcliffe
Consumer Direct Yorkshire & The Humber

As for you lot, glad to hear it Ket. And yea, its here Hysteria, but i seriously can't be arsed building my computer yet.

Its as we thought moon, your up shit creek without a paddle. Getting a result out of your situation at the very least would require some... "creative" information and thinking. Its underhanded, but OCuk are twats and need a hammering so heres what I suggest; Find somebody who has your board who can take some digital pictures (without watermark dates) of various things like the CPU socket to "prove" it wasn't damaged prior to sending it to OCuk. Taking things to a last resort would be to take OCuk to the small claims court.

 

[MoonPig]

jM_ has my board. Hmmm... I'll get in touch.

 

[alexp999]

just dont forget if they are not watermarked it still records the date/time/camera in the details of the pic

 

[MoonPig]

not if he uploads them and i then download them. Or does it?

I just sent a message to Lyn at Asus asking whether me replacing the TIM would VOID the warranty.

I think we should edit these posts so that they don't mention the idea. Just incase. Anything me about it, use Steam or PMs. Please.

I hope you said the board had no TIM on the NB in the first place..

 

[MoonPig]

hmmm... whats the difference? There was a super small amount.

 

[MoonPig]

Guys, can you edit the posts relating to me and _jM.

Just incase OcUK look.

 

[Ketxxx]

hmmm... whats the difference? There was a super small amount.

Point is if you tell them there wasn't any TIM it makes your removal of the NB HS in the eyes of Asus "more justifyable"
