  1. No no no. The heat SINK is the one bound by the plastic casing. I got off the heatsink, and all of the plastic, and now I just have the chip. I want physically get to the actual CORE. The IHS (Heat spreder) is attatched by what appears to be a weld of aluminum or something.
  2. I guess you aren't farmiliar with the way it's attatched on... It's actually welded with aluminum.
  3. Does anyone here know how to remove the IHS from a Pentium II Slot A processor? I took off the passive heatsink and have it down to the bare card with the proc attatched, but I have no idea how to get this thick IHS off!!! Anyone know, or anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

  5. Oh man... I've seen RAM getting fried. Not pretty, and very smelly.
  6. Thats odd. On my system, it uses 29MB, and 0% of my cpu. If I were you, I would uninstall, manually remove all of its registry entries, and download and install the latest version.
  7. Made monkey infestations in the pants finally cool again.
  8. Sounds good, except I wouldn't go with socket 478 if I were you.

    What's That Sound?

    Haha, I want to slap you for that. One tornado is loud enough for me! Those things drive me freaking CRAZY!
  10. 43 degrees C should be fine if that is at full load, for an extended period of time.
  11. Oh god... That's why I always run my computers on top of the desk, and .3 meters behind by mousepad... I can't offer much better help than what the other guys said... Good luck working on this problem!
  12. Just go to Newegg and check out their memory selection. If your processor clocks high enough, then don't be afraid of the higher speed DDR2 with higher CAS latencies. It will run fine on that DFI board.
  13. Heh heh. Not to worry. The CPU FSB and clock speed of the ram can be configured together in ratios. This system started to be widely used once the FSB of processors became much faster than the speed that RAM could handle. If you run the FSB at 1000, you can create a ratio that will adjust the clock of the RAM automatically, to something like DDR-333 or DDR-500.
  14. How do I know all of this? Well... Let's just say not all overclockers are what some people refer to as "stupid gamers." I honestly do not know how much this sort of setup will cost, but it seems to contain a somewhat simple radiator somewhere in the liquid circuit. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what is pumping through the veins of this new Saphire card, so that I could possibly pump it through my system. De-ionized/distilled water + convection accelerating additives is just not cutting it anymore...
  15. I did consider galinstan as a possible solution for the metal in this cooler, but then I realized that galinstan has some major shortcomings that could render it unfit for this type of environment. In a high flow environment, with rapidly fluctuating temperatures, galinstan would likely have some problems. Galinstan is a very interesting substance in that it sticks to and absorbs into many solid surfaces. In order to combat this trait, gallium oxide is applied to the surface of the solid in which galinstan would otherwise stick to. A Teflon-like surface is created that keeps the galinstan from sticking. In a somewhat sedentary liquid environment, the gallium oxide is likely to remain attached to the solid, and repel the galinstan. In the environment inside of this video card cooler, the galinstan would be flowing through the tubes constantly, and be very likely to eventually wear away at the lining of the very delicate gallium oxide. Inside of the tubes, if a surface for the galinstan to stick to was created, the tube could possibly begin to clot, like lipids attaching to each other inside of a capillary in the human body. The clot could prove to be catastrophic, and if an insufficient amount of galinstan was flowing, less heat would be able to be removed from the die of the GPU, and effectively, cause a meltdown, and damage the entire video card.
