Gracias to Henry at MO for the sweet service and the A1 LCD!! I just believe if you find great service somewhere you should pass the word along to others... I got the Model: LK204-25-PC was only $85 and its a 4X20 LCD. Got her hooked up in my system today and it runs like a dream!! This is my very first mod, next is a window, already bought a 10" blue neon from Wal-Mart ($9.95 )
There a particular reason? (If I do I'll add the extra pieces to stop it feeding back and blowing the gpo)
12V gpo's on your LCD, 12V neon? No resistor needed then As long as the neon doesn't need more than 0.75A (and I don't think it will, but check it's stats) you should be fine to just hook it up Cheers r.
Thanks for the compliments... I will pass this on to people in shipping and production... doing this I was able to get 1.1Amps at 12V... also, check this link... http://www.matrixorbital.com/projects/lk20425pc/overclock.htm
Mmm... 1.1Amps... err Henry is that a dual side lit LCD? Do you realise the funky colour potential? Wooo... Cheers, r.
1.1Amps per GPO.. so lets do the math... 1.1*8(2*sqrt4-4)= 8.8Amps total... and it's the LK204-25-PC... and I can only imagine what you would do with it...
Excuse my lack of Modieness ( ) but, where did you get the heat sinks (model #s?) and HOW did you get them to stay in place? The only way I have put heatsinks on chips is by clips.... <EDIT> Duh, I clicked on the links. So it would seem to actually be a good thing to heatsink them even just as a procaution just in case the chips got hot, right? Overclocking or not....
No idea what Henry actually used... but you can buy arctic silver epoxy from places like theoverclockingstore.co.uk that will allow good thermal conductivity and stick the heatsinks on, or use a normal thermal conpound with a couple of dots of superglue at the corners, or use frag tape (double sided heat conducting tape). Heatsinks of various sizes can be found in most electronics retailers (farnell.co.uk have a lot as do maplin.co.uk, but just two examples). Cheers, r. EDIT: Ahh he used the epox method - a good choice
Henry...I have a question. I finally got around to really putting stuff up on the LED (tie, date, scrooling, etc) I noticed something, part of one of the LED blocks is a bit dimmer than the rest of the block, is this a bad block? It looks like the outside row of one of the blocks. 3rd from the right, 2nd row down, right outside row. Did I get a dud? Rest looks good, but you know how you always see that one scratch on your own car?
