kingdingeling Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Right... so as some of you know, I just got home after travelling for the past 7 or so months. I had my rig at home (the one in my sig) running 24/7 of that time (most of it anyways) to do some folding@home, so naturally, I wouldn't be able to fix any hardware issues. Now today I have come home and just took the side cover off the rig, which surprisingly wasn't very dusty at all... well yea, cause the intake fans had stopped working.... One of the exaust fans also stopped working... Cheap Scythe Slipstream pieces of crap, I thought Scythe was awesome? Anyways, my GPU readouts tell me 64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I am even more impressed with the IP35 Pro now. I think that was a wise purchase!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackninja543 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Only real suggestion I can make it get a stick, some marsh mellows, then stick the whole mess in there for a new min. If you don't feel comfortable using it for what you origenally intended, turn it into the only computer that will make breakfast for you .

kingdingeling Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Blackninja, that is a very good idea ccoke, I totally agree! It is a great board, however I have to get back into the overclocking side of it, as during the time I was gone I had to slowly lower the OC from 3.6 (lasted about 1 month after I left), then 3.24 (lasted 5 months) and then 3.02GHz, which it has been running ever since May.

DanTheGamer11 Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Hey doesn't high temperatures affect lifespan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seriphx Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 I'm surprised it held up so well It's surprising how long these things can last even under extreme conditions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdingeling Posted June 17, 2009 Posted June 17, 2009 Well yea the temperature probably does / did affect the lifespan of the components, but they are made to last (unless of course it is an Asus board), so a bit of abuse shouldn't diminish the time it lasts that much!
