i think mine is one of the one's with a max temp of 71'c but i'm not sure if being unlocked affects the max temp as a load of guys talk about 63'c for the x4's

as soon as she said West Africa -- my Scam senses started tingling.

your right, its probably a scam, nigeria's in west africa, and as far as i know there's a lot of Nigerian princes there who need £100 in order to pay a fee to access their bank acounts


EDIT: She has a good choice of fake identity

Anna Anderson (16 December 1896 – 12 February 1984) was the best known of several impostors who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia.

In 1920, Anderson was institutionalized in a mental hospital after a suicide attempt in Berlin.

overall she's been dead or in a mental asylum for about 90 years now so i'm not sure what she would do with a graphics card

 

[FreedomEclipse]

LOL - shes a scammer

Yeah. I was right

 

[FreedomEclipse]

tatty!!

scramble me a crack team of retired Demo experts!! we are going to rig up some C4 to a shoe box and send it to them! I want it so theres enough C4 to knock them off their feet and give them serious concussion, but not enough to blow them the fuck up. that would be going too easy on them

no, just put a brick and a piece of paper in the graphics card box telling her you need to borrow another £300 in order to access the graphics card, if she does it you can give the leftover money to those who were scammed before

 

[FreedomEclipse]

nah. shes not gonna send money (obviously) gonna say there was some error with the system and money hasnt been transferred blah blah blah. Id be out of pocket if i was to send a brick all the way to nigeria.

send a piece of paper that says 'IOU 1 Radeon'

 

[FreedomEclipse]

nah. I prefer the C4 idea. I can imagine it all right now... A group of nigerians huddling around this box waiting to see if the fruits of their scammed labor have come to fruition then 1 of them slowly lifts the lid off the box and *BOOM*

Actually now i think about it.. I want more C4 in there. enough to knock them off their feet. give them serious concussion and blow out all the windows in their house.

now that would be hilarious... Id put a tracking number on that package then watch the screen with a bottle of champagne as it flies halfway across the world to its destination.

Freedom = 1. Scammers = 0

Found this cool diagram of WWII tanks. Thought someone might find it interesting.

Spoiler

PS. You live in London Freedom so if you cant sell the 5850s there your fucked because its a massive city. I find it incredibly hard to sell locally or even buy locally, hell even ebay for me is slow as ive had a 4x1gb 7-7-7-20 1333mhz DDR3 set on ebay for over a month and no bites. I can sympathise i hate being stuck like that.

EDIT: Parcelbombs? A few people actually got sent them up here in Scotland AND got sent bullets by the UDF.

nice to see they correctly identified the nissan GT-R as a tank for once, i don't care if its got no gun, no car could cause that much destruction

 

[FreedomEclipse]

well... Ive put adds up on gumtree. Ive put both cards up on Amazon -- hell i even undercut all the other sellers there by a good £15 Ive put it up on here. I could well put it up on Ebay or i will need to register at other forums and lurk around there making a post every now and again till i can use their FS section. Or just take it to CEX

Just use them for crunching or folding

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Nah i could really use the cash tbh. If their not sold by the end of next week i'll get back to the guy who wanted to £210 for both

-----

Also If i wanted to keep them for folding. I would need to buy a new mobo CPU and ram as i already sold my old set up.

I dont have that sort of money to waste, not to mention the electricity bills going up by 19%

I hope your just joshing. The GT-R was used as a size comparison.

EDIT: Im sure Freedom a week back said he was selling some of his old stuff to offset the cost of the new components.

 

[Spectrum]

Aircons, heaters, UK is getting expensive to live in.

i've got an idea... how about everybody switches to MY heat solutions...
winter: sit next to PC and turn fans down to 40% so stuff heats up and warms up my room so i feel toasty.
summer: turn fans to 100% and then open the windows.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

with these 6970s. Im ready for any cold snap!!

 

[MightyMission]

£70 for 9k btu isnt bad.
the 12k unit is loud and powerful but the power comes with a hefty electricity price.
i had one about 6 months ago that was too valuable to break up for pc cooling so i jogged it on..

You Must Not turn it on as soon as you get it home,for as long as its been on its side/back/front is as long as it must be standing upright.the oil leaks out of the compressor when its not upright,so it must be allowed to run back in before turning on.

there's no portable a/c that will drop the room to 5c or even pump 5c at the evap due to thermistor stopping it functioning below 18c.the little resistor i showed a photo of about 30 pages ago...
Annnd
dont blast the chilled air directly into your cases,your equipment is expensive and condensation will render it useless or at best: on a rma journey..
have fun!

 

[cheesy999]

OK guys, My air con unit goes down to 16'c but its seriously powerful, i directed the cold air into my CPU using a little aluminium pipe tht covered about a 1/3 of the outlet and lost 5'c CPU temp in a minute, now its freezing the back of my head cause its the same height as me when i sit down on my chair

And it also has a dehumidifier so at some point i'll just set that up and i will be able to pump that into my CPU cooler without condensation

 

[MightyMission]

i dont think they can do both dehumid and chilling at the same time?
its been a while since i tinkered with one in one piece and acting as designed
but just be careful sir,even cheap computers are a kick in the nuts when they break.

yeah, my graphics card is now worth a whole £30 on ebay, my CPU + MOBO are about £90, my ram is 30 and i bought my PSU for 25, there's some expensive kit here
