haha
im slowly getting there with this POS computer,im thinking the mobo took some real damage when my boy covered the vents,seems the mobo heatsinks need a fresh thermal paste instal.

ah no speed fan didnt work on my trusty destroyer but it does work on this to some extent...
i got two fans i can control,cpu and exhaust fan,maxing the exhaust fan brings temps up?!?
which is what made me wonder if the VRM heatsink and/or the mcp is dry as a bone,its supposdly sitting at 120c!
process of elimination would have me beleive the mcp is the higher figure as most vrms would die as those temps..

when i turn my CPU fan up the temps go up slightly, its just inaccurate temp sensors (im not using in core sensors but the one that measures the CPU as a whole)

 

[MightyMission]

ah ok.i should be releived its now at least fully functional.
im using a k8 chip right now so i am not sure wether its the core measured or under the socket.
wasnt it supposed to be 30c outside today? its just looking foggy and muggy...

I have the backdoor open about 5' away and its about 27 (Who would buy a digital thermometer?) in this room

playing tears for fears music really loudly whilst eating garlic bread in the middle of a civ 5 game, what a fantastic day

 

[MightyMission]

I am a stones throw from the sea (literally) and i feel robbed,its definitely not shorts weather gaah!

dude you caned freedom for having a digi thermometer than admitted playing tears for fears.Priceless.

I need a pair of digi thermometers that read subzero accurately but they seem to be hard.

Ofc i got one for the baby too..

Me because I have OCD and need to monitor room temps to make sure my 3 systems are running cool.

 

[MightyMission]

freedom:dont you use coretemp or gpu monitor?

 

[cheesy999]

that close, its around a mile away from me, still within walking distance though

Me because I have OCD and need to monitor room temps to make sure my 3 systems are running cool.

Use analog thermometers, i'm up to 29'c now (i've moved it onto my computer desk and my computer desk and the area surrounding it tends to be 2-3'c above average)

 

[MightyMission]

yes its nice living in the harbour but the interwebs here is crap.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

freedom:dont you use coretemp or gpu monitor?

their no good for monitoring room temps. and you need machines to be on to read temps.

 

[cheesy999]

yes its nice living in the harbour but the interwebs here is crap.

my interwebz is okay, i get 516kB/s download so i'm good for most things

ALSO: ANALOG FTW!!!

 

[MightyMission]

you can monitor ambients with gpu monitor,but why do you need to know the temp of something that isnt turned on?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

thats not room temperature. its the temperature inside your case.

why would you need to keep rigs that are not turned on cool

 

[MightyMission]

ok im lost freedom so i will leave it at that...

thats not a bad speed cheesy,mines supposed to be 8mb but its woefully short of that!

 

[cheesy999]

thats not a bad speed cheesy,mines supposed to be 8mb but its woefully short of that!

mines supposed to be 20meg so...

then again its only like £!0 a month so

 

[FreedomEclipse]

why would you need to keep rigs that are not turned on cool

Because I have 3 rigs on all the time. and having a digi thermostat means i can just have a quick glance at it then having to remote to or click on a program that will bring the monitor out of standby when im not at my desk.

I dont need to be sitting down at the computer to keep an eye on my temps and the ambient temps arent skewed from the heat of the GPU.

and generally speaking my room always gets very hot without any systems running.

 

[cheesy999]

I have lied to you, just ran a new speed test and its gained 50KB/S since Last moths run

OLD

NEW


its not my fault sky keep increasing the speed of our connection without telling us

EDIT:FIXED FIRST PIC

 

[MightyMission]

what a headfck

this supposed 8mb is all i can get here cheesy,its usually quicker to use my fones 'net.
im gonna see what speedtest gives me now.

WOW
thats a surprise! i guess winging at sky paid off!


i better download something quick

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Gonna order me one of these...

I wish i could afford an air con unit. but those can be pricey

 

[cheesy999]

WOW
thats a surprise! i guess winging at sky paid off!

winging at sky works?, i'll have to do that, if i got even half of the 20mb if been promised that would be 1MB/S

CAN YOU HELP?

i want to post a screenshot of a problem i have in CiV 5 but paint says

'there is not enough memory or resources to complete operation. close some programs, and then try again.'

how can this be when i'm only at 2.67 out of about 3.3 gb of ram use in task manager, i'm only using 6278MB of 7385MB page file so the problems not with the page file

 

[MightyMission]

freedom i have sold about 5 portable a/c units this year.
you can pick them up very very cheap if you know what to look for and what to ask.
i got a portable sitting out on my balcony that may be surplus to requirements.
not that i am offering to sell it you but if you want one,i could find you one cheap...beware they can suck electricity like a hobag who thinks shes a dyson

i can be persuasive when i am vexed cheesy,and paying 40/month for crap 'net,terribly noisy fone line and and average sky tv definitely didnt make me all sunshine and light

save the file as a png or gif cheesy,then open it again and save as jpg.

SKY Movies is great and we saved money by buying it so...

Phone lines great for us

Broadbands great compared to orange our previous provider, we actually have near 100% uptime as opposed to about the 80% we had on orange

EDIT:its not saving thats a problem its inserting the print screen, it seems to think my RAM and Pagefile are full when their only about 80-90%

i'd show you my task manager but i can't print screen it
