RS: Yeah.. That's what I get for letting you mess with my computer. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><br>I *MEANT* Arctic Silver.<br><br>Asha: I noticed all that stuff and I thought I was pretty careful.

I think that's overkill on my end, I don't need that kind of setup. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> It's definitely a decent board.<br><br>I just wish I could get this stupid system up and running.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Yep. Got some RAID action going on two identical 45 GB IBM harddrives. Win2k, says that they are 42 GB though. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Wash your processor off with some rubbing alcohol. It won't hurt anything on it, so you could get a bowl and drop that bad boy in. Get a q-tip or something to "scrub" the areas that are contaminated, and rinse with some alcohol.<br><br>If you're really uptight about it being dry, wash it with acetone (nail polish remover) to drive any moisture from it.<br><br>If all of THAT doesn't work, then your CPU is probably dead. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left></p><i></i>

Alright... I'll try that.<br><br>Thanks a bunch, guys.<br> <p></p><i></i>

Well.. It turns out that it was the CPU.<br><br>I ended up getting another one.. put it in and puppy works.<br><br>So now I'm running my new AMD Athlon XP 1800+ and it's sooo sweet.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Yeah?<br><br>Is it water cooled? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left></p><i></i>

*smirks*<br><br>Yeah, right.. like I can afford water cooling.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

www.koolance.com<br><br>And their seller: www.coolerguys.com<br><br>There is probably one closer to you, than those guys (they are right across the lake from me). You can find one on the koolance site.<br><br>I've got a PC2-C midtower. It works great!<br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left></p><i></i>

I saw instructions on how to build your own watercooling system. The waterblock was a slab of aluminum or copper with the round bottom of a soda can soldered/epoxied on top and a couple holes punched in it for the pipes.<br><br>I don't know that I'd try THAT particular method, but watercooling doesn't have to be expensive. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><img height=150 width=115 src=http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif border=0 align=left>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br><br>Though a program be but three lines long,<br> someday it will have to be maintained.<br> <i>- The Tao of Programming</i><br>Life is complex; it consists of real and imaginary parts.</p><i></i>

lol.. I'll keep it in mind. Right now I'm rather fond of the fact that my cooling fan sounds like a jet engine. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> It whines like one.. it's hillarious.

Which one did you get?<br>(Cooling fan) <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left></p><i></i>

It's the Cooler Master DP5-6I31C<br><br>I've got that, but I've also got a Thermaltake Volcano 6Cu lying around.. Still debating which one I like better.<br><br>As of right now, Cooler Master is winning. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
