    Lost my brother-in-law.

    Thank you all for your kind words and condolences. Today was his funeral. Our families are relatively small yet over 300 people attended, quite a feat for someone who isn't famous or even well known. It just goes to show how many people lives he touched in a positive way, just by being the nice...

    Last Friday, the world lost Geoffrey Wayne Bendle. He was my brother-in-law, my sisters husband to be exact. An otherwise healthy person, non-drinker & non-smoker, Geoff was diagnosed as having an extremely rare degenerative disease 2 years ago. There is no cure for what he had. The only way to...

    New Cooler Master CP5-6J31C, anyone tried it?

    wow, i didn't know they were so expensive over there. i can get them for AU$40 which is roughly US$21 or 34$CDN. In any case i wasn’t aware of your intended purpose for such heatsinks and it's obvious, as you pointed out, that they are not necessary for a mainstream box.

    New Cooler Master CP5-6J31C, anyone tried it?

    grrr. edit: have you considered other HSF's? i prefer Thermaltake's Volcano 7+. it fits sockets 370, 478 and A, has a variable speed fan and the price (here in Oz) is very good, especially for a copper heatsink unit.

    it does sound heat related but i doubt it is. CPU temp goes to @ 41c before it locks up however 3Dmark pushes the CPU temp to 43c and it runs fine. i'm running default core voltage but i'll up it somewhat and see what happens. thanks for the suggestion Groltz :) i'm running the 3.11 ver of the...

    lol. i reckon you're not far of the truth there. tattooing would have to be one of the oldest trends to survive today. so would body piercing although that has gone though a renaissance of sorts.
