Seems vaguely familiar...

you're not missing much. I really,member it from school, some educational show we used to occasionally watch. But the word contact always, always me think of that "3, 2, 1, Contact."

 

[Nordic]

I am too young for that video. Could be an east coast west coast thing too. When I hear "lets make contact" I just have dirty thoughts.

2 rigs are off due to the AC being changed out in my house; needless to say it's nasty and hot in there. I kept the main rig running because it has the funky little thing where the pump doesn't want to start up on a cold start. (I may log in and reduce crunching to only 50% to reduce heat)

Hopefully tonight all will be done and nice and cold.


Edit: went ahead and paused crunching on main system, it should only be til the end of the day.

Came home to my bmaverick DDC pump making a horrid squeal. Pulled it apart and the impeller looks okay. I'm thinking it's the bearing on the bottom. Tried to pull it apart, but couldn't get the electronics out. I think all I can do is try some 3-in-1 and hope it gets better. I really don't want to drop the money on a D5 (+res/top) or something seeing as how I just got an acrylic res/top for the DDC. (Also, bmav's DDCs were the right price. Real pumps are expensive.)

It's times like this when I hate water cooling. It's a stupid, stupid idea.

Watercooling is a lot of work, but 50c on a 4.8ghz 2500k and a 40c 7970 under full load is what makes me love watercooling.

Half way home from work last night I realized that I forgot to fire up Boinc, but after setting up the home rig it had started crunching the 2 dozen or so that it had taken on before I packed it to move. Score! Once the installer of the interwebs shows tomorrow afternoon ( Between 8am and 5pm was the best they could quote, The wanks.) they will be ready to submit. Yep! Yep! I have already missed one deadline for fighting aids thou. Fingers crossed.

My extra steam keys for "Hammerwatch" (72/100 metacritic) and "Papers, Please" (85/100 metacritic) (claimed) free for any cruncher and/or folder (or friend of a cruncher/folder). PM plz.

 

[Tallencor]

[Arjai]

Been getting these myself as well. About 4 fight aids @ home were better than 20 hrs.

My main rig is down, my old H50 is dead. If anyone has a spare CPU cooler pm me please.

Are you looking for anything specific?

 

[Bow]

not really, I crunch and play some games on it

NE has a refurbished H60 on sale this week. Because of the cost of shipping, that is most likely going to be your best bet. That, I believe, is the older H60. The newer, and quieter one is $20 more. Be warned, the H80's, although awesome at cooling, are loud. They even have the H100i for $65, with promo code.

 

[Bow]

Cash is going to be tight this week, but I will look at that H60. May go air cooling

• I doubt that it will fit in his case
• Would require extensive plumbing
• Massive radiator requirement
• Radiator fan requirement could pose a danger
• Doesn't use the same power source
• Noisy
• Vibration may have a detrimental effect on the rest of the system
• High maintenance
• Not "significant other" friendly
• Expensive to own and operate
• Multiple government agencies would be unhappy
• Could, however, be hooked to a generator for guaranteed 24/7 service
