edited them in so what do you think? i did the window and the front grille. simple i know but still, i had a good time with it.
What cathodes did you use? I am trying to get that kind of orange but all I can seem to get is damn pink!
its actually not orange. its very bright red. my camera makes bright red look washed out and orange. they are logisys brand.
Grr.... fan controller crapped the bed. ordered a replacement along with a temperature display. should be here tomorrow ill get a pic then
That doesnt sound right. AFAIK XP's were mostly Socket A, and then replaced by semprons which you can get to Socket 754...unless you mean Athlon 64 maybe? Looks good though, nice cuts
thanks, and yeah, i meant 64. XP is force of habit.....used to seeing it on the archives on the old modding sites i research on... yeah the cuts were doen with a 4" angle grinder, a dremel, a flat file, and a jeweller's file. the cutting took no time, its the filing that took ages to do. but in the end i'm happy with it. EDIT: i cant believe they bleep ba*tard file..... changed it to flat
Athlon 64's were on s754 originally, they were renamed to Sempron when they removed the 940th pin off the 940 to make them to 939 (I know this since my CPU doesn't say Sempron anywhere on one system, but has Sempron on the other one, both are 754
sempron and athlon are totally different cores. the sempron was the economical amd processor and the athlon the standard model.. and socket 940 came after 939.....
940 came before 939 it was in servers fora while and I remember all the faffing that AMD had with removing the last pin. http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/06/01/amd/page3.html First paragrapgh
really? hmm.... anyways... im happily overclocked now at 2528mhz from 1813mhz... whee go me... and my 7600 is running at 620mhz from 580mhz. things are running a tad more smoothly now. gonna see my results in the CS:S stress test. meanwhile, some updated pics... i have since added handles to make lugging this thing around easier. and my new fan controller and temp/fan rpm display came in. bit of a hodged color scheme but what the heck. im out!
small update: running smooth now at 2661mhz. gonna leave it there. running mid 30s for temp at idle. seems to be going smoothly! by the way, anyone have any ideas for this thing? im looking for a little more to do to it....not entirely sure what yet. i'd do a top window.... but theres nothing to see. hmmmmm.... later
My Gaming RIg NO PICS This is the gaming RIg i built like a month ago, but i should have waited for the 7900gtx's it's ok though, ill live
