zeimbo Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 not sure if they ship internationally, usually try performance-pcs.com, coolerguys.com, frozencpu.com, xoxide.com cant remember the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeekMistress Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 "Pronounced MAWS-feht. Acronym for metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor, a common type of transistor in which charge carriers, such as electrons, flow along channels. The width of the channel, which determines how well the device conducts, is controlled by an electrode called the gate, separated from channel by a thin layer of oxide insulation. The insulation keeps current from flowing between the gate and channel." . Clear? No, me neither. But wait.... "MOSFETs are useful for high-speed switching applications and also on integrated circuits in computers." . :nod: w0w, what a definition huh, lol. thats what they are alright. i don't have a technical working knowledge of mosfets, but, they are always part of power conditioning circuits. i explain them as power conditioners to help keep the current within the certified specs of the device it's suppling power to. My first experience with them was with power amps for car audio systems. instead of using paper resistors and transistors, they started using mosfets for their superior conditioning abilities and operational duty cycles.

TheGeekMistress Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 as for my ram cooling "mod"... i just took an old stock AMD XP HSF, used the top duct mount that the 60x10mm fan was pressed into, plus the fan, and rubber banned it. reasoning for using the top duct was to take the fan up away from resting on top of the mem sticks. this allows for the fan to cool the entire top of both sticks of ram without creating hot spots. works really well and is very quiet. i'm running my BH5's up to DDR510 at 11-2-2-2-2.0-12-16-3-3-5-4-3-3-4-1T @ 3.3v and i can't even feel a warm spot on them. this is on my nf2 400 Ultra DFI chipset. they seem to top out at around DDR540 tho. Wonder what my new H2O system will let me get with this rig..... few weeks from now, i'll be in the know.... i hope. hehe TGM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGM MOSFETs are just high power transistors. The very high current levels are what really separates them from "normal" transistors.

I agree ExRoadie, the old paper ones would either burn up quickly, or not take the high current needs the new equipment required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGM Wow; a gurly gurl on a tech forum. And pretty too! :drool: That's great! All of a sudden I feel...so, er so.... erm... inadequate. :confused: Where was I? Oh yes, the post.

Boosted420a Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 After looking at all these cool mods, I decided to give one a try. It took me a while to find some 60mm blue led fans, but I got lucky and came across this wonderful HD cooler... It has blue leds. I bought 2 of these. I figured I could use the other fans somewhere else. Maybe over the mosfets. Then I went and got some Lexan, I tried poly-carbo-crap... it breaks too easily. I did some measuring, cutting, and some bending. Not bad for a first time bending this stuff...lol Then I installed it... looks pretty... lol :cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U got a pic of the mod? yup, yup, yup.... gurl g33k no, i don't have a pic, sorry. that machine is now torn apart anyways. i just got my nf3 250gb and i stripped everything out of my case and i'm temp mounting my new board and vid card in there so i can get my tubing routes right for my new asetek waterchill cooling kit. i'm having some clearence problems with the chipset block and my vid card block right now. i think i'm going to have to buy so 90 degree angled swivel dealies for it. but it's ok, i have to wait till next month to get my Mobile A64 4000, so i've got some time yet to work out the bugs.

THunDA Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Very cool to see people still posting their mods .. Lots of good imagination in here.. TheGeekMistress.. After reading a little about those mobile 4000's it makes me want to get it and start clocking my 250gb again..lol.. They look like monsters..

TheGeekMistress Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 THunDA, i know i can't wait to get the cpu.... i've got the guts of my puter all over in preporation for the A64 M-4000 ...i'm g33kd!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
