    Downflashing BIOS on an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus ?

    As I said above mate, the option to do that in the Asus Update tool even when enabled, just returns an error about the EEPROM. It's basically cause your bios has to be set to default before downflashing to avoid statement conflicts between versions, which mine now is, but same thing happens...

    Downflashing BIOS on an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus ?

    I've been having a major amount of hassle with this board the last few days. Was running a very mild air cooled OC with a Q6600 and 2gig of ddr 1066 5-5-5-12 2T, plus an 8800 GTX, all with vanilla air cooling. Decided to get a couple of gigs more memory, had to up the voltage a bit here and...

    phase changers and condensation

    There absolute monsters though, and if your going that far and spending that much could find a second hand cryo cooler or an LN2 recompressor. I eventually gave up on standard phase change after i realised just how much the equipment to build it or even modify something like your talking about...

    phase changers and condensation

    Building a mutliple loop using one compressor is nigh on impossible even given one of the most powerful danfoss available as a starting point, especially without all the right tools and equipment, knowing the regulations for said equipment in the country your in, coolant types, soldering...

    Silent water cooling?

    Once you watercool you just can never go back hehe :), can thank the [H] for getting me hooked. First cooling system i built was using an evaporative cooling tower and DDs blocks from the maze 2 era, all copper topped, still have them somewhere. 7 years ago now i think, sure any [H] users from...

    Silent water cooling?

    I just never got around to building an outer skin for the chassis. will be doing this time around :). And your incorrect about the rad i'm afraid topcat, when i built this chassis i built it knowing it would need testing in various positions to get just right, the first two versions were a top...

    Silent water cooling?

    Just had a look through the overclockers.co.uk case catalogue, afraid i havent got time to do more today, but i have found one very nice case. Now this is by far one of the nicest cases i've seen in a long while, it's a bit glitzy and glammy for my taste but it has some serious potential for a...

    Silent water cooling?

    I decided to have a quick look at hte case you mentioned sgogeta, off the shelf cases are'nt my thing anymore they just dont do what i need, but have modded a lian-pc70 and two other full towers for water cooling. There are several disadvantages with using the Antec p180 that i'd like to...

    Silent water cooling?

    Would depend on flow, if your using quite a low flow pump and very little hose then the constriction of 3/8" will improve flow to close what you'd get with 1/2" and a good pump, but without changing the pump you'll only be looking at a minimal increase in performance, maybe a degree in relative...

    Silent water cooling?

    I would generally say no to that option, then i tend to fall clearly on the performance side of the line. Some of the koolance series are probably still one of the better options for silent systems that are easy for amateurs, but [H] forum members and amateur does'nt really seem to fit in the...

    Silent water cooling?

    Passive done well means a big BIG rad. http://www.buckrogers25.com/passiverig.html That's the aquacomputer 1800 rad, never needed a fan on it and temps are still very acceptable although hardware inside is a bit dated now, especially now it's deceased thanks to the movers frying the whole rig...

    BFGTech BFGR1000WPSU Review @ [H]

    Very good first review, absolutely no punches pulled as to the units capabilities. As was summed up at the end, if it says 1000W, it does 1000W, plain and simple, i think some relabeling may be in order from BFG to clear this one up, but that's just a personal opinion. Not doing it's...

    A [H]ard Look at Power Supplies

    First up, good shtuff guys, [H] is generally the first place i check for hardware reviews, now even more so, and is probably single handedly responsible for turning me into an extreme cooling addict :). Noticed you mentioned the not doing low end gfx reviews much any more kyle, shame as i often...

    136lbs of copper combine radiator :)

    First time the "buried" technique was used was by the infamous BladeRunner of ZeroFanZone, with his "Bomb" and Project Stealth. Can find the section describing the Bomb here and you can find the rest of his stuff over on his site here. He has'nt done much in a while online, but that Bomb...
