Last one! It went on clearance for 160 two weeks ago and I've been waiting for it to drop so I could snag this for cheap :p

Do you like your Z506? You seem to have the right front and rear swapped though.

I got it on sale for $40 from newegg and its pretty good! Not $112 good, but if you can get some sort of deal its worth it. Apparently they are, this explains some things.

I thought the one with the volume control was the front right, which makes the other the right rear/surround.

Here is my new build (kept the 770 from my last build). I was able to do a quick Cinebench run on the i5 at 4.8Ghz and 1.265 volts. Temps were good with the H110 even without ramping up the fans too much. Didn't test too much but 4.8 may be the wall for this chip without going above 1.3V. Going from a steel and plastic case to the Evolv was great. Even though it may be a bit big for a micro atx case, if you plan to use the extra space for radiators then its a good trade off.

No clue actually, selling to to a friend for the equivalent of about US$ 150.

I always battle to sell second hand, easier to give something away to someone that needs it than to try assign worth to it. In this case the friend insisted though.

Got the 7850 and put the finishing touches to my "racing build":


Same mods as the first time: grill on the PSU space, power inlet, CMOS reset button.



The 7850 that is replacing the previous GT640 :rockout: Nice upgrade, no more stutter. :D



Samsung SATA2 256GB SSD (HP OEM part). More than enough for what I want.


Seasonic TFX 300w PSU nicely snuggled were the SUGO hard drive cage goes. The cage was missing the HDD mounts so it was useless. Got it for $15+s&h on ebay :toast: Yes, I had an SFX 450w before but 1) it was overkill and 2) I'm going to need it for the Raven RVZ1 :pimp:


Had these doing nothing in the parts bin so I just used them. The hot swap caddy proved to be very useful. You can also see the Ninja II that replaced the Hyper 212. Only reason for the change was that the Hyper supports current sockets while the Ninja II supports AM2/3, 478 and 775 so I though I'd rather have the Hyper free for a future project or something. Besides the Ninja is easier to install since it uses the standard socket retention bracket.

I'm going to be switching to a new case in January but i'm still not sure what to go for, i went a bit silly with rads.

I bought XSPC EX240 and 360 crossflow rads and then thought maybe i would like some thicker ones so bought XSPC RX240 and 360 V3's.. i'm sure i'll use them all in the future.

Now to decide on a case!. :banghead:

all i want for christmas is a modded H80 :)

replaced the tubing the coolant the radiator and added a second fan. i also moved the rad from the back exhaust to the front intake to reduce the noise from the second fan.

so all in all I've gone from a bone stock H80i to a custom mounted and modded corsair and gained around 7c in additional cooling performance. The weak link here still seems to be the pump but oh well. the most amazing thing to note is despite relocating the rad and dumping warm air on the video card the temps haven't budged on the 670 under load.






Before the mod - 1 hour payload match in TF2



After the mod (same settings) - 1 hour payload match in TF2




i have noticed that the VRM heatsink is getting quite hot now from the reduced airflow in the top of the case i'll have to adjust the rear fan profile a bit and if that doesn't work try something a little more drastic.
I'll also have to break open the loop again and get rid of the last pocket of air. all in all it was fun modding the thing and i'll have to think up what to do next to squeeze every bit of performance out of my rig. :D

gosh that give me idea for my H60V2... but adding a res to the loop o_O instead of ordering new pieces for the CPU loop :)

btw what's the second wallpaper? :D edit ... i just noticed it's Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion :roll:

I feel as if I had some "fun" with an angry raccoon with how injured my hands are from that heatsink. Worth it though after the three hours of pain. The left fan is the fan that came with it; the right fan the case fan. Doesn't plug into the motherboard but instead has it's own 3-speed controller and gets power from a molex connector from the PSU. I can max those fans out and piss myself off, or I can keep it quiet enough to where I don't know if my desktop is on besides my one HDD grinding on the bracket, hence making the case sound constipated. Temps are down 15-25c so I'm happy with the final outcome. Next upgrade is an SSD (120GB for the OS) Then a better quality PSU. Lastly either a stronger GPU or a bigger case.

"Upgraded" my IRC server. Rather than using an old Sony VAIO laptop with an Athlon 4 (and a surprisingly working battery) I switched over to a Galileo.

Running Debian right now and while compiling\installing anything is slow Unreal runs well enough (but I know a guy who ran it on a 486 at one point, so...).

People still use IRC? o_O
