ripken204

ya my seagate is pretty loud during seek but it is still fast, about 63MB/s transfer rate.

lol i should update my sig im gunna sell my old comp, why do u wna buy it

poor drivers for the 8000series is my guess.

i just talked to seagate support and they said that those drives are coming out the first week of september

i got mine for 120$ shipped from newegg, now thats a deal! it's been great so far

well it would be best to make a function out of it so that you could reuse it you would call it by doing: <a target="_blank" href="<?=download('file.pdf');?>">text</a> then the function would be: <? function download($file){ header('Content-type: application/pdf'); header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$file'); readfile($file); } ?> edit: now you will have to make the link open a new page as well because when you do header() it has to be the first thing on the page, nothing can display on the page before you call it. so i added in the target=_blank this should work, i just wrote it out here and didnt test it..

definatly, i just play when i have time, with my new comp i really pwn in titan mode with the plane and shotgun, with 2GB of ram it would lag up on me, now it's perfect. nothing worse then getting 1 shot gun shot off and then having it lag before you get another shot off..

i gotta play some BF2142 with you i'll add you next time i play. my first acc was ripken204 and my stats sucked on that so i created a new acc, now i pwn.

actually the article said something about the voltage will automatically be increased, so its not so safe then... well maybe if you have an auto overclock feature on.. otherwise it will stay at what you set it. and if you dont have enough voltage then the comp will be unstable and it may crash/freeze up.

well it wont hurt to try another battery..

It doesn't take much. But once I put the line across I use a razor blade to spread it evenly across the heatspreader. It should be spread pretty thin...thin enough that you can almost read through it. Again, it doesn't take much at all. If you just relied on the heatsink to spread it for you then you may not have even coverage. ya that's what i'm thinking. i just figured that arctic silver knew what they were talking about.. i definatly put on enough paste(hopefully not too much) i just hope that it spread correctly. i wont be doing any OCing, some gaming. in a couple weeks i will have better cooling so i will just see what's up then.

okay first of all i'm not trying to argue with you at all, you have to stop doing that. i never told him to go straight to any number, all i told him was that OC isnt all that safe unless you watch what you're doing. and the phase change thing was a joke. why did you think i was telling someone to get phase change?

the performance is good for most things that you want to do and its really cheap.

im just going to talk about the game part of that nmX, the ppl with those problems i think are the ones who don't test for stability also when you talk about the -10C = 2x life, i wonder how that will convert for someone at -200C on a 4 stage phase change at well over 4GHz

i know how to mount it, i meant more about the thermal paste application method. the arctic silver website just says to put a line of paste across. I suspect that the two cores with the higher temp are probably doing the bulk of the work right now. And it's probably just one core from that particular die (remember, it's two dual-core dies in a single package). Since those two cores are on the same die, even one core doing some work will heat up both cores. ya its definatly 2 cores from the same die since they are core 0 and 1. but to see like 8C difference all the time, even at idle..

I think you missed my point... In practice, yes, you can usually go beyond the stock limits of your system without running too much risk. However, you're still running a risk. Even if you raise that clock speed from 2.4GHz (for you and I with the Q6600) to 2.5GHz, you could break your CPU, regardless of temps or voltages. It's like day trading on the stock market - you can gain really big, but you have to be prepared to lose everything. no i knew what you meant, there are just ways to become more safe if/when you do decide to overclock.

well speedstep is nice. amd sucked with their method. the temp im getting that from is the same in mbm5 and the asus software. but once i start gaming that temp does soar, especially with my stock cooling.. TAT doesnt work for me.. the second i open it up it just closes. edit: just tried core temp, 2 of the cores report the same temp and the other 2 are like 8C higher.. do you know which core is on which side of the processor? i might have to remount the heatsink

ya overclocking isn't all that safe but it is pretty hard to mess something up unless you arn't paying attention. just watch the temps and voltages and you will be fine. this is where after market coolers come in handy.

login and register are almost the same except that 1 adds info and 1 gets info..

so now you decide to get one i've been running it for a day and it's nice. hav'nt gamed on it yet, to busy reinstalling everything.. most things seem faster tho, im not sure if it's the ram or the cpu but i like it alot. i have the feature enabled that automatically adjust the muliplier+voltage and that helps ALOT with temps. i'm idling at 34C right now with stock cooling 1600MHz.

my new comp at stock:

my new comp:

winamp is definatly compatible, i've been using it forever on vista x64.

maybe something with javascript..

i dont think that there is a way, i think it's more dependant on the browser..
