Your PC ATM

[xbonez]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I know cable management could be better, but there's only so much you could do with less than 3/4 of an inch behind the motherboard tray.

Yeah, agreed. I wish they made that are half an inch deeper. Also, I wish they made the CPU power connector slightly longer. In my full tower, I cannot route it from behind the motherboard tray, so thats one ugly cable I cannot hide.

It'd be pretty dope if it was 1/2 inch deeper. I've had a few different cases from different manufacturers, but once I got this Lian-Li I don't think I'll switch back to any other brand. The build quality is pretty awesome. Plus, the fact that I picked it up from Newegg for $80 makes it all the better.

Found out I have a bad ram stick, anyone know if Corsair will replace a Dominator GT 1600C7 6GB set with an 1866C9 version?

if you overclocked it and its gone bad there will be flags in it afaik

i know one guy who tried to rma 1066mhz ddr2 sticks that had been oc'ed, they turned him down bc of the overclock

but i would just try, dont say anything about it at first

 

[mlee49]

When I did overclock my system I had my blk to 160 which set the memory divider to run the memory back at 1600Mhz so it wasn't overclocked when it died. Also, they would have to test the memory to know it had flags

doesnt corsair allow oc?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

if you kill something by overclocking its your own fault, i dont think any companys does that

Hmmm new Christmas stuffs

Cat man looks very angry! He want's to pwn your face with superior graphics preformence.

[(FIH) The Don]

let us know how that board overclocks if you plan on doing some on it(MB)

Well it's being made into a 3rd download box, so if I do overclock on it, it's going to be not much, as the processor I'm using is not a BE

 

[(FIH) The Don]

awww

ah well, most 8series board actually does give a decent oc so would be a surprise if it was crap

We'll see if I can score a BE, for reasonable price, I will OC more, but that will come when it comes, not going to spend a whole bunch of money on AM3 stuff as AM3 + will make AM3 outdated.

nope, in my knowing, they have flags in their ram, even when advertising it as OCable. pretty mean!

most companies will unless there is physical damage. a nice cleanup with a cotton stick also can help... i killed quite a bit of hardware,sometimes even in row, or the RMA card i got as replacement... some parts even died of its own...but i was able to RMA nearly everything, besides those corsair RAM,things i took damage to with overvolting or screwdrivers and things i accidently/puposely broke the seal when trying to gain acess to it

Same, some rubbing alcohol, and some time, does wonders, as it seems most of the time RMA's consist of physical inspection, and some basic tests to see if the device works.

you know I've had mates kill shit left right and center but me try as I mite haven't managed to kill a damn thing yet guess I'm just lucky (touch wood)

 

[xbonez]

This is my PC ATM lying open. Inside is an EVGA 480 and a Asus 470. Outside is a EVGA 470 w/ Zalman VF3000f which won't fit it...lol

 

[mlee49]

Nice Zalman bro, how do you like yours.

 

[xbonez]

Absolutely love it. On full load, it keeps the 470 cooler by a good 20 degrees as compared to stock cooler.

No, they don't have flags in them. Your friend probably just told them he OCed the shit out of them. You wouldn't beleive the crap I've done to ram, and still got RMAs on them, including numerous Corsair kits. It's pure honor system. Luckily for me, I have no honor.

Isn't it our job to play stupid, get the RMA, then let them figure out what broke and why?

generally, wires hanging off them with the muiltimeter and potentiometers still attached is a good sign 'this guy is legit, it just failed under regular use'

 

[sneekypeet]

What if it was one of those leet boards with all the readout points on it, what constitutes "regular use" anyways?

I tend to abuse all my hardware equally, so in a sense it is very much "regular use".

@xbonez
That Zalman is just down right sexy.

Here's me unlocking the x2 555:
