CPU Cooling Help.

I remember seeing that.

I remember seeing that.

On the other hand, ORGANIC COOLING!!!!111!

I remember seeing that.

Wow.. thats a bit extreme

I've seen them smolder and even melt the socket, but blowing into pieces like that is another story

I'm surprised you didnt smell the protective sheet cooking and stinking as the cpu warmed up (mabye the pc's protection was shutting it down too quickly).

We've all done it.

I couldnt work out why my cpu was so hot in windows. I'd only installed a new tb hard drive.

Turns out I'd forgotten to plug my pump cable back in. (it gets in the way of the hard drive cage).

Or when I first installed the water cooler - computer kept shutting off in bios. Turns out it was a "cpu fan fail" event - fixed by running one of the radiator fans tacho wire to the cpu fan header.

I5 2500K oc'ed to 4.5ghz. Screams

I5 2500K oc'ed to 4.5ghz. Screams

Thats pretty extreme!

I might OC my i5 to around the 4ghz mark and then run it through orthros to stress test it. If it doesn't go over 80 degrees celcius and its stable then I'l keep it there. No point in overclocking it any more, lol

 

[vk2fro]

is yours the K model?

they go to 5ghz easy under water - my chip isnt overclocked too extremely I would say as its cooled by a water loop - 4.5Ghz on air yeah that I would say is getting extreme

Always the little things... I still remember applying thermal paste the first time.

Put on waaaay too much and cpu was actually performing worse than it did with the stock cooler lol

What's funny is, after some initial fun with OCing, I rolled everything back to stock. Was able to keep the temp under 80 even at 4.2 though, threw every test I could think of at it

 

[LaZeRz]

Na I have the 750 (2.66ghz stock)

 

[vk2fro]

ok so yours is pre sandy bridge then?

 

[LaZeRz]

yeh, I might upgrade to sandybrigde in the coming year. I've spent enough on my PC this year

BTW: My cpu stays under 48 degrees celcius overclocked @ 3.6ghz while running CoD4. I have to say, im impressed!

 

[vk2fro]

yes, me too - having only recently upgraded from a E8500 to the I5, I bought a cpu, motherboard, ram and a hard drive.

Thats enuf for the next 6 months. The SSD drive upgrade will have to wait until:

Mini Thumper is built
I get my icom 756 pro III
Thor project is finished
I finally get my 1/5 scale RC built
I get a new camera (and perhaps an ipad 2).

I can see the computer getting the SSD in what.... 2016?

 

[LaZeRz]

Lol!

speaking of apple products...

iPhone4 vs HTC Evo - YouTube

And, after you've watched that...

iPad 2 VS Your Local Library? - YouTube

^^^For the moment, unless you're constantly opening large files and restarting your computer three times an hour, SSD's are not really necessary... So long as you have a decent amount of ram

 

[vk2fro]

yep got 8 gb of ram - when I get back to playing with VM's again, thats when I'll probably up it to 16Gb and chuck in an ssd.

Genrally I reboot my computer once or twice... a month. Its on 24/7

And lazers, neither of those video clips were playable. 5 seconds of those awful "silicon sam" voices is enough for me

 

[LaZeRz]

Lol, if you were using headphones then I agree it sounds like crap.

My desktop speakers make it sound "normal-ish"

Anyways, their pretty funny.

some quotes "It can build you an island, then turn into a f***ing jet and fly you there"

Response:"I don't care, I wan't the Iphone 4"

"it can grant you three wishes, one of them being an iPhone 4"

Response: "I don't care"

"I't can f***cking print money"

Response "I don't care"

"Im going to have to chop off my dick to stop my children from growing up in a world full of assholes like you"

Lol

LOL @ it can print money. So its a counterfeiting factory that can make phone calls

Sat thru the first one - if you ignore the horrid voices, its quite amusing

Well whaddya know - had to reboot 6 times last night - bios upgrade and itunes update.
