Operation Delta 25

[greengoose1]

We now begin Operation Delta 25. In Operation Delta 24, over clocking continued and then gravitated to cooling. Bistro and Train are fan moding and the Queen of Hearts continues to be in the middle of everything and is spilting hairs on a number of subjects. Not only is she modding her new computer but her house also, but that would be going off topic. Let's join in the action now and remember questions/comments are always welcome.

Ok I'll post it here too.
QOH
Despersperation is right. Probably BLOOD
That was a little far with the wire trick.

For the math formula to convert C to F.

Temperature C times 9 divide by 5 = first answer
first answer plus 32 = degrees F

by the way -40C equals -40F and is the only place they match.

After two hours running, to include 5 3DMark tests: CPU at 81 F.

4000 posts....500 of them spent on just trying to get QoH's system to fdisk and format correctly...

[bistro]

Wanna fill up that spare bay with something cool...and expensive? Take a look-see at THIS.

Thanks for heads up on red X Train on email. Computer locked up, just got it back up, and after checking everything - don't know what happened - yet. I have had better days but not many with as many "opportunities" as TODAY.


Mosaic, IE 5.5 here.

Shut eye time.

Goose go into msconfig and turn off the instant messanger. It is what caused my grief. Well, 90% anyway.

QoH: Not sure if you really got your previous question answered concerning the system power. Your power supply is actually a step-down transformer. Steps down 110 to 12 and 5 volts. That's why that weird dude could install a 12v automotive cigarette lighter....don't know why--bad idea to smoke around a computer---gums it up; especially the lens on a CD.

[Queen_of_Hearts]

Then if some little gizmo is less than 5 Volts it would burn it up or else would need a resistor ?

I have "discovered"... a digital temp guage while digging around in the shop. It is for A/C but has two probes. Also two switches with different positions. It reads C and F on either and also has Off/On. (9 Volt battery) Single display but changes back and forth with one of the switches.

One probe would need to be skinny and flat (like the one that came with the Motherboard---thermal sensor) to fit in the fins of the heat sink. Can I take one of the larger probes off and add one of those little flat kind (Radio Shack?)

It's very small and would fit behind the front cover (with a little modding) very easily without using one of the bays.

Might work with a little tooling around. Go for it. Not sure about removing/replacing the probe. Possible a new probe may not work with that particular unit.

Don't go destroying...er...modding the front panel with first checking around for a replacement. The only modding I did was enlarging the already existing air holes in the front.

Oh ye of little faith !

Bistro, you should know me better than that by now !...I'm not doin' anything just yet.

I'm still contemplating. I called Radio Shack and described what I needed to them. They could get something but he said it may not work. I hate to start cuttin' on it (the thermometer), or the front of the case, not knowing for sure.

I also see there is a program to put those temps on the Desktop so I wouldn't have to keep shutting down to look in the BIOS. Motherboard Monitor. Do you know if it works ? If it did, wouldn't that be even more accurate than the digital probe just being close to the processor ?
Could I use that temp sensor that came with the motherboard just plugged in and left hanging for the inside case temp ?

[bistro]

Motherboard Monitor is pretty good---accurate to +,-3. Recommend that. The only reason i put that dual gauge on mine is because.....it looks so darn "Star Trekky"....
