lol the fan should spin anyway - if it doesn't it's broken!

Oooohhh... got any pics? Or do you mean mod like you just accidentally smashed the f*ck out of it?

I unscrewed one of the clear panels out of the side panel, used a little velcro tape on the inside and just coverd the gap with a black dust filter.

I couldnt attach a fan on the side panel anyway as the Kuhler was getting in the way of the clips that hold the fan in.

so the best thing to do was to take part of the clear perspex off and put a washable dustfilter there.

nothing major. If i had a dremel i would have done a complete side panel mod. but this is good for now.

got a lot more airflow inside the case. and i can feel the 200mm fan pulling air into the case where as i previously couldnt

you've spent too much time using laptops obviously

With this new Heatsink i can run at really low volts

i'm now running prime 95 3.4GHZ, at 1.28V

Now all i need is a board with proper power cucuity (this things rated 95W max) so i'm pushing it using a 125W proccesor as it is

Someone tell me when i can get a decent AM3+ board for around £50

Laptops? Have I? How did you deduce that?

I don't do laptops. I just fix them.

I've never seen a desktop PC where the fans don't move at all, there are a lot of laptops like that, most new one's even have a 'passive' cooling mode where they just vary the proccesor speed in the power options menu

that said most Core I laptops only hit about 60'c on passive modes so it normally doesn't end up throttling at all

If you come across any good 4GB DDR3 1600mhz modules for laptops. let me know

don't bother with 1600mhz, just get 1333mhz and call it a day unless you've somehow got some sort of quad core on that netbook your buying

If it's a core I seres (now i sound like an intel advertiser) you don't even need the modules to be identical for dual channel to work

There's a guy on TPU in US that's got some for sale. I'll look into it and handle it if you're not comfy buying from US?

FreedomEclipse · Aug 12, 2011

I was refering to a matching 8Gb set, but yeah, I'll have a poke

scaminatrix · Aug 12, 2011

Damn, it's 1333. BNIB 8GB matching kit though.

cheesy999 · Aug 12, 2011

why does it really need to be 1600, it barely makes a difference in a desktop, so why will a laptop mind?

Pm'd

£24 before postage is too good to miss

scaminatrix · Aug 12, 2011

T'is bloody cheap. Laptop RAM's usually a bit more than desktop too. G-skill also give lifetime warranty on their laptop RAM (not all company's do lifetime on lappy RAM)

guys, now whilst doing extended stress testing at 3.5ghz+, the clockspeed will occasionally lower itself for a while

Do you guys think it's because i'm trying to push to much power through a motherboard with what i think has 4 (or 4+1) stage VRM's?

MightyMission · Aug 12, 2011

CnQ or chokes on the vrm's err choking..
got a heatsink on your vregs?
if its the mobo in your specs then i'd get ramsinks on there quicksmart or ofcourse drop the OC and preserve lifespan of components

FreedomEclipse · Aug 12, 2011

well the laptop ram came out to £30 with shipping. the set i was looking at was some Kingston ram for probably £40-41 after postage. still not a bad buy tbh if you can wait 2weeks for it to get here.

For 8gb so-dimm??? bloody hell that is a bargain, I remember only a couple of years ago so-dimm was twice the price of regular desktop RAM, that is sweet andf tbh you wont see any benefit in running 1600>1333 in a laptop, not even sure if you can get 1600 ddr3 so-dimm can you?

FreedomEclipse · Aug 12, 2011

I dunno theres like 3 different versions of DDR3 1600mhz Sodimms it gets confusing.

this works out cheaper.

Ive already paid for it. and by the time it gets here i should have my HP DM1-3200SA ready for it to slot right in

FreedomEclipse · Aug 12, 2011
