[The boy 4rm oz]

So you finally got your mobo back ey? Nice update, the PSU bracket looks really good. You may wanna check your mobo manual to see if that RAM config is duel channel. You will notice the difference.

[Acey]

Good, an update while im enjoying my cup noodle and coffee before i start cutting.

[DonT-FeaR]

no i havent got my motherboard back... i needed to use spme pics off mah camera so i decided to upload them all :)

ill talk to you about the ram when i get it back

[The boy 4rm oz]

Haha that sucks lol.

[DonT-FeaR]

yea alot... lol

[DonT-FeaR]

oh part two of my update

also made this chain mail for history class..

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030890.jpg

[The boy 4rm oz]

Nice mod to the G5. That's basically the reason I didn't get one, they look dog ugly lol. The original one looked cool but the revision is a bad design choice IMO. I love my CF G7, looks cool and it's wireless ;).

[nevermind1534]

I think the mouse looked cool in the before shot, although it probably wasn't as comfortable in the hand.

[DonT-FeaR]

thanks guys...

no updates... was hoping there would be some but dads new girlfriend is making dad do stuff that stops him from being home which stops me from being home..


oh well she is really nice and im happy for him but i wanna mod..

[The boy 4rm oz]

Life has so many distractions young one ;) lol.

[DonT-FeaR]

lol

just sucks...

oh i did get some new switches... and some more scroll saw blades but thats it...

pics tomorrow night because i am uploading them now and its like 9 so i gotta do some stuff for school...

camp the day after tomorrow so i wont be round

cyas tomorrow with those pics :)

[Pointy_Stick]

I got a Xigmatek S1283 as well and I didn't notice much difference between that and the stock Intel cooler, only 4-5 degrees, not at all what reviews lead me to believe. I suspect though that since it was the first time installing a cpu cooler I buggered something up like putting on a little too much thermal compound. That and currently my case has bugger all airflow. Sometime in the future I'll rectify that with some nice Noctua fans and maybe the X-plate for the cooler. I don't like the look of those pushpins. But it works for now and my computer hasn't caught fire so I guess I got it mostly right.

And good call on replacing the stock fan on it, it does sweet FA. Looks pretty though.

[DonT-FeaR]

as promised here are the pics

they talk for them selves...

spent all day today helping killerman with his pc and got a few bolts and things from his shed for this and another mod... gunna be sweet... updates... whenever... not for a bit ... this weekend and next i will be helping killer man... again :)

[DonT-FeaR]

well i managed to get a few things done for moditor... not pics for everything as it is scattered between mums house and dads house.

this is it for now anyway

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj176/dont-fear/P1030976.jpg

ready to be sanded down and drilled... its the new switch plate...
most of my time is going into the king case.

[DonT-FeaR]

seen as i am turning this pc into a htpc... maybe...
my uncle said he would buy this for me
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6853
and also this for that cpu cooler
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8579




that is all atm... still looking for pieces.

[The boy 4rm oz]

I looked at those DiNovo keyboards for a friend. If I was to make a HTPC I would definitely get one of them.

As for the thermal compound personally I think Arctic Silver 5 or AM2 would work far better than anything Cooler Master releases. Personally I use AS5 and have had no problems with it but AM2 works a few degrees better than AS5. But with all thermal compounds the application of the compound itself is the killer.

[DonT-FeaR]

oh ok... can you please find a link on pccg and ill change... i was gunna ask you but haddent seen you around.

[The boy 4rm oz]

PCCG don't have AM2 any more but I recommend:
Noctua HT-H1:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_163&products_id=52

According to this review LINK (http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews/misc-coolers/noctua-nt-h1/1) it actually out performs Arctic Silver 5 but is a bit difficult to spread.

AS5 (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_163&products_id=2173) is still a good thermal paste, very easy to apply and good temps. The Noctua performs slightly better at around about the same price.

[DonT-FeaR]

i got my mobo back tonight!!!! so awsome... first time boot also :) so happy... i used some generic thermalright paste atm... shall change when i get the next order.. thanks 4 info

[The boy 4rm oz]

Congratz mate, took them long enough.

[DonT-FeaR]

lol 7degree drop in cpu temps!!! omg so happy...

[DonT-FeaR]
