Check out a program called CoreTemp, or even better, HWiNFO32. These seem to work reliably for me. If using CoreTemp, DON"T FORGET TO ADJUST YOUR Tj MAX!! That's probably what some of you are having trouble with. Different CPUs use different Tjs, and it won't read properly until it's adjusted...

Dragon vs. Wicked goggles I hope this hasn't been posted before. I've been searching for about 45 minutes now for it lol. Basically, I'm wondering which of the two, dragonlasers.com and wickedlasers.com, has the better quality/protection safety goggles? I'm getting a V2 dilda red any day now...

Nice find! Do you know if they had any that seemed to block red?

My bad, I'm sick ATM (swine flu lolz?) and I was feelin' lazy. I think I might grab a pair to try out. Thanks.

Interesting info. I might have to look into this a little.

Re: I'm looking for a certain good laser pointer.. I'm from Clearwater, nice to see another LPFer in FL! In order to be legal in the U.S., a laser must have certain safety features according to the FDA. These include: 1. Aperture shutter - something to block the laser opening. 2. Safety key -...

Arctic Silver 5 is NOT an adhesive, so if you're gonna use A.S., that's the one to get. Arctic Silver Ceramique(i think that's what it's called) is the epoxy version.

Well hey, even if it's only 100mw that's still only like 75 cents a mw.

Hey I just got my MXDL host in a few days ago, and I measured the resistor at 5 ohms. I thought these were supposed to come with a 3 ohm resistor? Anybody know a good place I can get some at?

Well I tried out the 3.6v CR2's from Mohrenberg today, and they make a noticeable difference. I can now burn through black plastic bag (the "w" of a wal-mart bag) in a little under a second. This is more like it :) Would you guys say that this sounds like a proper 50mw now?

I checked the dot on black cloth from about 15' away with sunglasses. It is indeed brighter, but not by much. I've checked it against two 5mw's, one from DX and one from an unknown seller(it was a friends). Like I said, this thing looks to be at most 2x brightness, more like 1.5x. Anyway, I had...

Sadly I wasn't as lucky with this laser I guess. Compared to a 5mw green, this is maybe twice as bright or less. Probably around 10ish mw. Can't pop black balloons at all, can't really do much of anything lol. I contacted the seller, and they are letting me exchange it for a proper output one...

As a drink, pepsi I guess. Although I like CHERRY Coke even better. As a company, Pepsi is very pro-gay, so I don't support them. In fact, I stopped drinking Pepsi and will continue to until they revert to a neutral status in the issue.

Just got mine in today. I tried the CR2 that came with it, measured 2.96 on the DMM. Not impressed, it actually looked pretty much the same as my DX 5mw. I put in a 3.0v rechargeable measured at 3.58, and it's better, but still not all I was hoping for. Anybody know where I can find 3.6v RCR2's...
