<0> if the updated the mobo standard they could just put a big heatsink on it
<1> heatsink on the mobo?
<2> hehe
<1> That comes with the cpu u mean?
<0> no!
<0> the northbridge heatsink
<1> what about it?
<1> It is not the beast heatsink, but nice
<1> I would replace that with ZALMAN CNPS7000B-CU
<0> wtf are you talking about...
<2> do most ppl now use usb hubs or something
<1> i use a usb hub
<1> but you need to take care
<1> get a very good model first of all
<2> theres not a single intel mb on newegg with 6 back usb ports thats 979
<1> then generally you need to install windows from the ground up
<2> i mean 975 chipset
<0> EneergE_, most don't have 6 from what I've seen
<1> and after you install windows plug all your usbs in one after the other and keep them where they are
<0> you have to use an expansion slot
<1> even remember the hub points you use.
<2> why
<1> the northbridge heatsink is okay, but not even close to as good as the CNPS
<1> because Windows has a **** way of using USBs
<2> you can just delete it from the device manager and let pnp redetect it
<1> its still ****
<2> ..probably
<2> i dont konw about usb hubs
<2> anyways ill probably have to get one
<1> you get like dublicate usb ***ignments
<1> and then xp generally crashes
<1> I have about 8 usb devices, and 3 on the hub
<2> does the hub supply enough power for most devices?
<2> i know if i hook say an ipod up to my keyboard usb its not enough power
<1> oh yeah
<1> however...
<1> http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=internal38et.jpg
<1> I now have a 500W PSU
<2> this laptop only has 2 usb ports so i had to hook my mouse up through my keyboard and then plug the ipod in the other opening on the computer
<1> But my load shows 300W max
<1> with all USB devices connected
<1> Get a hub
<2> i dont think my desk is built for all these gadgets and full size keyboards
<2> each time i buy something everything seems to fit worse
<1> desks?
<1> You need to be desk for your PC
<1> big
<2> this full size g15 hangs off my keyboard rack... my monitor cant get much bigger than this 19" without hitting my printer... the wires going downt he hole that was drilled to run wires is a little crowded and its hard to disconnect and remove the wires... i dunno if a full size tower will fit in the cabinet or not
<3> who's box is that
<1> what box?
<2> thats tons of wires in that pic
<3> http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=internal38et.jpg
<1> thats mine
<3> ah
<2> can someone help me with how dual lan ports work
<3> Cpt|Kirk: I have 12 hdds in my tower ;P
<2> do you connect two cables to the router
<3> EneergE_: only 1
<2> how do you use them both then
<1> I will probably get one of those server towers next year
<4> why would you want to use both of them?
<1> And move my HDDs over to that.
<5> you sir, are a nerd
<2> because thats what its there for
<4> lol
<2> if one link dies, the other is still up
<2> also more bandwidth
<2> let me get the link to show it
<4> :P
<4> it's true that Cisco gear uses redundant links for bandwidth sharing and fault tolerance... but that's not exactly how a windows driven PC works in a home environment
<4> windows ***igns both of the NICs its own IP and you can only use one at a time to access the net
<4> the other NIC is probably meant for connecting to a private network instead
<2> i cant for the life of me find that ****ing link
<2> its on intel.com
<3> Cpt|Kirk: I will too sometime, I currently use a mid-tower
<3> Cpt|Kirk: the lian li v2001b you can put around 17-18hdds in that one
<4> EneergE_, you're on the right track. i am ***uming stuff here and guessing that you have no use for that. if one of your NICs melts down, i'm guessing windows bluescreens anyway.
<2> see i cant find any use in it, except occasionally the link does disconnect for some unknown reason and the other nic would provide packets until it regains "consciousness"
<4> if you absolutely need to get a dual ethernet link working, then you need to look into some basic routing stuff like RIP or IGRP and custom stuff for the network drivers. i am not aware of an official way to make windows xp route stuff out through two NICs to the same target address space.
<4> i might be wrong but...
<4> that disconnect thingy is unlikely to be due to a fault in the ethernet layer
<4> i'm guessing cable modem/adsl/whatever or the NIC drivers itself
<2> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=99298
<2> what in the hell
<2> i was under the impression all new mb were conroe ready
<4> what would possess you to make such an optimistic ***umption? ;)
<2> lga775
<2> hell i cant do that soldering
<2> ill wait on the actual motherboard
<4> ? eh?
<2> there showing how to solder on parts to make the mb conroe capable
<4> sounds like a good idea(tm)
<2> lol
<4> i guess it's possible and some hardware enthusiasts will manage it
<2> look at that link
<6> what causes the first picture on this link
<6> http://support.asus.com/repair/repair.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
<2> repair?
<2> warranty?
<6> I'm just curious what could cause something like that picture
<7> which picture
<4> EneergE_, that mod is quite doable.
<4> 0402 chip resistors. they're about 1mm x 0.5mm in size ;)
<2> right... so you would need tweezers
<4> a good iron, multicore silver doped solder and a steady hand
<4> tweezers are quite mandatory unless you have 20 of those chips to spare
<4> they bounce around alot
<4> :P
<4> i mean when you poke them
<4> but yeah, surface mount components take alot of practice, so that's not for the beginner
<2> hmm
<2> id like to take on an easy soldering job
<2> that isnt tooe xpensive if it screws up
<2> got any ideas?
<2> i havent ever soldered before but id like to learn
<2> have to buy a good soldering gun too
<5> just start with some wires
<5> find and old remote and tear it apart and try soldering **** together just to get a feel of it
<4> EneergE_, a good soldering station if you're serious. Weller is a good brand but be aware that a 50W station (barely suitable for a generic station) is ~80$
<4> 80W stations are ~250$ if they're temp controlled
<5> 250$ wtf!
<4> the blue weller digital stations are 250 euros here
<4> they're pretty pimp
<4> ok, so a cheaper model might suffice for practice work...
<4> also, get high quality solder with resin core
<5> $8 soldering iron is all you need for electronic crap
<4> so you don't need to mess around with separate flux
<4> for soldering a remote controller
<4> 8$ soldering irons are crap and completely unsuitable for surface mounted stuff
<4> depends on what you need to do
<2> i swear
<2> why oh why cant conroes work on regular mb
<2> i need soemthing besides this laptop to work on
<8> yay... my laptop finally arrived :D
<9> hello
<5> hUI 2 u 2
<10> can you bend a heat pipe?
<10> like this http://www.aerocool.us/p-cooler/vm-101/vm101.htm... can you bend the heat pipe so its at a 90 degree angle instead of a 180 degree angle?
<11> dunno wtf a "superconnector tube" is
<11> had it been cu, it would have beed easy
<5> its jut a piece of aluminum heh
<11> anyway, to bend that thing to a 90 degree angle would make me worry about weight distribution
<11> oh, it's just 220 crappy grams...
<10> BillGates see I want to bend it so it goes over the adjacent slot. get what I'm saying. instead of doing the 180 degree thing and taking up the slot space
<5> yes
<11> unless you've got an SLI rig, I don't see what you could possibly have above the graphics card
<10> BillGates so your saying it will work? my idea will work?
<5> no, im saying i understand what you wan to to do
<5> i dont know how frail those things are
<10> thanks bilgates :-D
