Sexy :D

I don't know why but the Asus P67 manual recommends DIMMs in slots A2 and B2 if you're running 2 sticks in dual channel. It says it is for "optimal performance" in the manual.

/edit

Realized that's a Z68, not sure on where the DIMMs should be for 2 sticks. Still recommends A2 and B2.

to me a good point and shoot like the Nikon P80 that I use is nice and easy to figure out. I have never used a DSLR camera

A agree with Chaos....to me it comes down to a digital camera that offers the right option set. point and shoots have come a long way over the years, and if it has a good lens you are good to go. I actually use a DSC-F828 from Sony and its got to be 10 years old by now!

Nice skills there. I see at least 1 opamp replaced and many of the decoupling capacitors have been removed and bypassed.

Supposedly the cap mod you did makes the DAC more stable and of course... gives better sound.

Have you replaced the power filter capacitor ? I've been wanting to do the cap mod and also replace the power filter capacitor with a 2200uF 16V Blackgate on my X-Fi Xtreme Music.

Those 2200uF 16V Blackgate are hard to come by now. I've heard you can replace the power filter capacitor with a Nichicon KG of similar microfarads and same/higher voltage.

All the op-amps are replaced and caps bypassed. The caps were changed before, I'm looking for the pictures now.

Yeah, I have skills.. Threw it at Random Murderer and said.. mod it.. :roll:

Edit:

Power filter was changed also.. Try searching for my posts in the X-fi club house.. I know I placed details on it.. I'll also talk with RM to pm ya on the mods.. He was more crazy about modding my sound card then I was

Yeah im very happy with the H100, it fits nicely up top in the Cosmos S case... its not too loud though im sure some aftermarket fans will drop it even further... I just used the stock paste that was on the H100 heatsink... diddnt change it for MX-2 but the temps are so good im gonna leave it :)

What temps are you getting?;) Im deciding on the H100 or the Noctua D14:D assuming the H100 will cool better but was just curious on how much lower it would be compared to the D14:toast:

ill do some proper testing tomorrow as today was 30c in Kent and my computer room was boiling! Tomorrow should be cooler and I will have time to mess around with stock & OC temps.

EDIT:

nothing fancy but I just did a 4.5ghz overclock and a short run of prime95... im sure if i tweaked the volts a bit I could bring that figure down... also perhaps using some aftermarket thermal paste and different fans in push pull etc.. right now the H100 is stock and my overclock was just to set the multi to 45 in bios. (ambient temp in my computer room at test time: 23c)

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/twicksisted/4500mhz-overclock-132v-2.jpg

I was stuck between the H100 and D14 coolers myself but having never had a rad in my Cosmos S case before and it has the space uptop I swayed in that direction... The main reason i chose it is because im using tall ram sitcks in all the slots and that wouldve caused an issue with the D14 and height clearance, but Im guessing the D14 would be quieter due to its noctua fans. Its kind of a toss up between the 2 really, the H100 looks awesome and leaves the motherboard area free and airy expelling all the warm air out the case but its stock corsair fans are a bit loud at full pelt... the D14 has massive cooling and is quiet but leaves the motherboard area covered up if you want to change ram sticks and also pushes warm air around inside the case instead of expelling it.

ill do some proper testing tomorrow as today was 30c in Kent and my computer room was boiling! Tomorrow should be cooler and I will have time to mess around with stock & OC temps.

EDIT:

nothing fancy but I just did a 4.5ghz overclock and a short run of prime95... im sure if i tweaked the volts a bit I could bring that figure down... also perhaps using some aftermarket thermal paste and different fans in push pull etc.. right now the H100 is stock and my overclock was just to set the multi to 45 in bios. (ambient temp in my computer room at test time: 23c)

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/twicksisted/4500mhz-overclock-132v-2.jpg

I was stuck between the H100 and D14 coolers myself but having never had a rad in my Cosmos S case before and it has the space uptop I swayed in that direction... The main reason i chose it is because im using tall ram sitcks in all the slots and that wouldve caused an issue with the D14 and height clearance, but Im guessing the D14 would be quieter due to its noctua fans. Its kind of a toss up between the 2 really, the H100 looks awesome and leaves the motherboard area free and airy expelling all the warm air out the case but its stock corsair fans are a bit loud at full pelt... the D14 has massive cooling and is quiet but leaves the motherboard area covered up if you want to change ram sticks and also pushes warm air around inside the case instead of expelling it.

Thanx bro, I appreciate the results, looks like the H100 cools pretty damn well:rockout: but either way, D14 or H100 you can't go wrong with either:D guess it comes up too personal taste or like you said, space as the D14 is one big mofo:laugh::toast:

Also worth noting is that nothing can really go wrong with the D14... whereas the H100 can have all sorts go wrong with it... leaks, pump failure etc... so if youre after something that will last you, then D14 ;)

HUGE difference. Just take a look at one of my latest reviews. Memory performance allows my SB @ stock feel faster than 870 @ 4.2GHz...specifically in games. My 870 and Maximus III Gene are sitting here collecting dust because of this. Also keep in mind that I only bought into SB for reviews, but boy, am i ever glad that I did! In fact I ended up buying a second for my gaming rig shortly after!;)

I went with a forward and back motion whilst rotating the chip every 15 to 20 minutes, and turned out pretty amazing imo, I'm tempted to do my brother's just for the fun of it :p

Ebay would be a good place to get one from, they don't cost much on there.

I've seen no difference in idle temps but I do use C&Q with manual settings which keep idle temps between 28 - 30c as for the maximum temp ive only hit 41c even on the hot day we had here yesterday, which it would usually do that on a somewhat cooler day, so my experience is yes it does make a slight difference, worth doing? well that's just a matter of opinion/personal choice.

for gaming and usual stuff? no its not faster imo

but its more fun to play with since it can easily hit 4.8 on a medium aircooler, i mean, find me another cpu that can do that

and its on par with the 6cores from intel when it comes to crunching :D

Aug 9, 2011, 03:38 AM

It begs the question do CPU manufacturers actually pay any attention to people who lap their CPU's do they realise that we do it for a reason and if that reason is good enough why don't they just make their IHS's better by you know making them smooth and flat

t_ski

Aug 9, 2011, 03:53 AM

Because we're such a small portion of the consumer base. Even I have only done this to one CPU, though I've done a ton of heatsinks. Besides, the way they make the IHS works perfectly fine for stock, so they can't justify it.

Maybe adding it to a top-of-the-line chip, but not anything else. It's pointless for them. Too bad... :(

Yes, mostly. That way when someone has an issue, I can toss the board/whatever on the test station and see what's up. TPU techsupport! ;)

Ha!! You wish. More like you beg me to give them to you.

I wouldn't even really say I even went to whining, I was just playing along:p

But I guess if you consider the statement..."you're shipping that to me, right?" is whining, go ahead and check that box, just as long as I get the board:pimp:

The heat sinks are heavy, I'm still trying to see if I can somehow pry them off to put on some ram :laugh:

Cheers, this is using some mod/smart braiding. I used to like the Phobya kits but they fray too easy after cutting. I've also got some unnamed, single-strand stuff :shadedshu absolutely terrible.
This mod/smart is only triple-strand like the Phobya, but it doesn't fray as easy. I've now started slightly burning the end of the sleeving after cutting to stop it fraying anyway so fraying is a thing of the past! This mod/smart stuff is like the poor man's MDPC-X :laugh:

Nope, you got me confused with someone else :p no 1200 watt PSU's here. I moved to the green camp because I need a certain feature for my video editing ventures (Adobe Premiere's MPE). I'll probably still use an AMD card in my gaming rig, haven't decided yet.

Hey. That's my mouse! :)

Fits my hand well and I like it a lot. The only problem I have is when left clicking to fire, my thumb also hits the upper side button. So I tend not to set that anything.
