wahhh nice nice~....... *tie blindfold on pillow n steal away her cpu :3 muahahahahaha!

MyPillowTalks SG

but wan control spd just dl manager ? haha ? btw can recommend me some program to control fan speed? no intention of hijacking thread ! =x

ya use manager can control, but if the fans are not connected to the motherboard, the program cannot control it. Anyway what i want is the temperature reading thing

speedfan is a good software to use, i use rivatuner to adjust my gpu's fan speed

Nice CPU cooler you got there, ASUS, was it?. I'm just using a generic Cooler Master, but it keeps my Q6600 nice and cool, well, cooler than my old Celeron anyway. 79C vs 34C!

And yeah, the 3870X2 used to be fast, but IIRC, it was inferior to the 9800 series? Like the GTX/GTX+ editions? That's one helluva card, anyway.

I LOLED at your 'Company', but yeah, awesome build. Striker Formula I thought can use X2 cards?

Back to topic, you know where I can get this display thing? And any measurements i need to take care of? Cause I seriously think I need a new casing If I get this panel anyway, but must wait, or later my mother will blast my head off, like, what's this, nag nag.

Ya i am using asus silent knight 2, it was installed incorrectly(sort of) as it exhaust the hot air up where there are no ventilation back then, instead of exhausting hot air out through the rear fan

If based on computertv(formerly known as tigerdirect), the 3870x2 still beats 9800gx2 in some games. Obviously not crysis as it is build for nvidia.

My plan was to use the 3870x2 for watching HD movies on big lcd tvs when i save up enough(but still haven gt the money).

Striker formula mobo are nvidia chipset, back then i was planning on crossfiring, so i got the x48 chipset. The good thing is that if you crossfire, both slots run at x16 speed instead on x8, x8 on those p45s. However due to the fact that the mobo supports ddr2 and ddr3, the bios was HELL. Good thing is that it is qutie stable now

X2 cards any mobo can use wad...it is one graphic card with 2 processors

As for measurements, just remember it tkaes up 2 drive bays

Casing wise i feel that my cm sniper storm is good, there is another AMD version. However some of my friends tell me this casing dosent look good. Anyway it is up to individual's preference. Maybe if you want to have lots of cool looking drive bay accesories u can get the lianli armoursuit, it is a full tower, a lot more taller than mine

Raraken SG

Hey, another ComputerTV watcher! Yeah, I did my research, and actually, they're pretty close. Did the 3870X2s face microstuttering as well?

And the armoursuit was my first choice, and still is, but it is a bit expensive, though. And looks like I won't be getting this for a long time, until, of course, I get a new casing. It won't fit unless I fiddle around with my DVD Super Multi thingy. Or I build an enclosure for the monitor and I put it outside, but I don't fancy cutting open my case.

I think any system that uses 2 gpus, or have 2 gpu proccesing simultaneously may encounter microstuterring, due to the fact that they are like being crossfired or sli, just without the 'connector' outside.

One of the factor that cause multistuttering is that the 2 gpus share the same video ram.People say Multistutering is gone on the 4870x2 as the 2gb of ram is not shared between the 2 gpus, more to 1 to each

anyway, i believe my 3870x2 does suffer from it, When i play games it will run very fast for a few seconds, then have a significant lag then fast again..sth liddat

I also liked the armouruit last time, but because of the pricing i decided not to get it.

aiya, work part time for the money lor, or can do data recovery to earn some cash
I find that data recovery is a very good way of earning money if the harddisk is not damaged too badly, as long as it is not the internal platters that are damage, softwares and abit of hands on may still be able to recovery some data

Data recovery I got do, as long as the essential portions not affected then can lor. Put drive in external eSATA, plug in and copy. (My method, seems to work fine for my 3 drives which dunno why fail also, all 500GB drives . Every 5/6 months will fail liao). MPT, you still schooling ah? Not yet NS or anything? Cos maybe I wanna work WHEN I'm 16, but see first lor. Where you work?

Chey, I'm not good with soldering (I accidentally soldered wrong pins before -_-) As for the platters, can put into another assembly I thought?

Which shop? I wanna visit (I think I got visit before, but don't know its you XD)

ok lah, i have burned hitachi hdd before,but not during data recovery, but during installation

Change the circuit board lah, not desolder it. Anyway if going to desolder one part just use a repairing station to melt the solders can liao

You have transfer the platters before? i never tried, cos scared later touch liao have static then later scratch

i work at mynextcom, cos now in poly so onli work during sundays of term break

after my o level and poly that period i work almost everyday, morning must open door and sometimes many ppl come in and talk talk talk, some customer like to ask stupid questions also

Transfer platters got try before, but, got really scared. Glass platter mah. One wrong touch can demagnetise the platters, then die liao. I tried before on an old 40GB (Was it? Can't remember) IDE drive. Transfer, then still cannot read, but that one is I think improper placement, or that I damaged the platters.

I've definitely been to that shop. One of the higher floors, was it? 5th floor, IIRC?

lifeisgood9989 SG

cool..

SBS7484P SG

ya blue is nice, my friend modded his haf 932 with many red fans, later i will post up the video link

Your casing is asus? the shop i worked at use to sell this casing I tink this is the very durable case which u anyhow hit also wont bend one

the centurion 5 is also very strong

asus vento casing is decent lor. when i first saw the casing i wasnt convinced cos it had a badge that was slanted =x

den i bought it, put some shit in it from an old p4 pc so i could use it as a small living room media centre (try try first) and the casing didnt look quite that bad in the living room. i accidently dropped it while pulling it out the box, and there wasnt a problem with it, so thumbs up :)

anw, the one i got wasnt the full atx one but the matx sized minitower.

SBS7484P SG

still waiting till after end of o's to start my major rebuilding of pc.

and yes, im serious on continuing the use of my matx siezed hp media center casing

lol

I dun dare to transfer platters

cos when working there u open the hdd means no warranty, must do in such a way that it looks like it have not been opened before

ya 5th floor

But cannot leh. HDDs all Vacuum packed (to seal in freshness?). Open the casing means air pressure all wonky. When I put together the assembly, the thing went 'click-click-click'. Lucky that one out of warranty, out of service, out of lifespan. I'm a curious little bugger
