I needed to clear out the hard disk and I thought installing seven would be simpler than removing all of my dad's crap manually. Apparently not, damn the lack of DVDs.

Tbh my temps are good.my cpu is about 32c idle and 42ish running a game and my gpu is about 30ish idle and 50max.



The pump has been really good,its actually a modified apogee drive,which has the top on and the solder mod to make it a 18watter not 10w ;)

The light in the bottom is red,its hard to tell though on the pics.The fans are orange i guess,they are xigmateks with the white leds.

I managed to sort my problems out that i posted a few days regarding express gate.
Downgraded bios which sorted it. If you want to upgrade to the lastest version of express gate and bios, then upgrade EG 1st, reboot and flash the new bios straight away, reboot then happy sailing.

Nice rig Tigger and temps. You running an oc?
I never even realised you could mod the pump, may do mine. :toast:
Did you see any improvement from it?

everything in my folding specs for £30. So I now have £70 to spend on a card / decent cooling for that and the CPU. Was crippled in my budget by the fact that I thought I needed a PSU, but the Hiper unit is rock solid.

Im 153rd because I can only run in bursts of a few hours :shadedshu I forgot to run her today, missed out on 9 hours worth :shadedshu

Anywho, first dibs on this card your selling if its any good - info?

hmm, a 9800GTX would be good. Saw a thread where someone in the US found a deal at newegg or something, GT250's, so practically 9800GTX's for $65 each. Im raging.
