  1. I bought the Ultima-90 a few months ago. Two things you need to know about it, if your board has the ram sockets in front of the CPU socket, it will face towards the video card. And it only supports 25mm thick fans.

     

    The cooler does face downwards with my board, so I think 2c is lost there, when I compare my temps to others with similar set ups. You might consider a non-tower cooler if your board has the RAM sockets in front of the CPU.

  2. dont think the setup with the G51 and xtrememusic will comply.. im not totally experience with the audio department but the cord needs 4 ports (front,rear,sub,mic)

     

    If he doesn't want to plug a microphone into the control pod, he can just leave that bit disconnected, then.

     

    I say go for it, if you already know you're unhappy with onboard audio. An X-Fi XtremeGamer is a worthwhile upgrade.

  3. Sounds like an issue with the shielding of your speakers. When they're new, they filter out pops and crackles pretty well, but they tend to "wear out" over time. Same thing happened to me with a pair of Logitech Z-2200s.

     

    You'll be looking at buying some new speakers..

  4. What version is your WRT54G? Those seem to get worse with each new version, it seems. I had a WRT54G v6 for a while, even with DD-WRT it seemed to have a lot of issues. Eventually, it got replaced with a Netgear.

     

    I recommend you try some line quality tests, as well. The one at DSLReports.com works fine. That will tell you whether it's the ISP, or your own equipment.

  5. Watercooling is really overkill for the X360, you won't see any benefits from it, at all. Any difference in temperature is negated by the fact you can't overclock it. Keep it out of cabinets if you plan to play for a while. If you have an A/V cabinet it's in, consider drilling a hole at the back and installing a fan.

  6. While cutting off some heatpipe to make it fit is certainly a bad idea in most regards, it's not quite as bad you're all making it to be. I've been in a similar situation actually, where I had to cut a few fins from an SB cooler for an old s939 motherboard, because the AGP lock was in the way. Not a big deal, really.

     

    Perhaps this person doesn't understand how a heatpipe works like us chaps on OCC do. :P
