[Chicken Patty]

Makes a perfect temp pc tray

Slots go right out the back and everything

hahaha thats awesome bro, glad its working out. who needs a nice benchstation, just look around your room lol.

sorry to go off topic,

i have to ask, how is the OCZ cryo-z?

i just read about it and it showed some nice results for the price, but how is it for 24/7? i have not found much on that.

thanks for asking, I am also much interested.

Ok I havent used it in a while so lets wait for temp talk. I myself have seen good results I would say....I have ran it for weeks at a time.

The one thing that makes me mad at it is. It does not always turn on. It gets to -35c or what ever when it turns on the PC. Instead it shuts down and I have to wait till it gets to -8c to flip it back on. It can do this over and over for an hour before it stays on....I asked fugger about how to remove that and he said remove the controller...I have no idea I opened it up and nope I could kill it too fast. I need to find some picks on what to do. I just want to flip a switch and it comes on.

At other times it starts just fine and could do so every day. Then you hit that day and you almost pass out waiting on it to just run...


When around 1.9v on a quad or even 2.0v the read out on the phase will say around -62 which is a lie but it's working very very hard I can feel the heat dump. The QX stays frozen(no temp reads coming from the chip) but I was going for 5Ghz never done that before. Then the man I asked(king)said I had my pll way over kill. I should of been doing less with it than more more and more.




So I hit 4.8Ghz with a QX9650. I can bench at 4.6 if I can remember right. But like I said about that damn pll.


If it wasn't for that I don't know what bug it is having I would love it. I almost have to leave it on if I don't want to get mad at it the following day.



Also my water setup makes more noise than it does. It's more low tone so it just really does not bug you.

Personally I don't like the white colour, but thats just me.

[DaMulta]

White under UV. I like uv light it's not too bright and lets me see on my desk

I love it the uv glow is just extra. I think it's going to jump put of the case

hot pink is the UV, and it's a good thing I happen to like pink

Cant wait to have it all installed paint is taking for ever to dry....a little cold out

Tell me a white motherboard is not the ?

Dont take this personally. I think it looks awful. And that red glitter glue on the chips... You might as well go ahead and pain on a big rainbow. I'm not trying to be a troll. Its just my opinion.

If you like it, thats all that matters.

[Boogerlad]

i think the white looks nice, but don't like the marker. should have masked off the other ics.

[quake6]

I really love it, perfect... Reminds me on Sapphire MBO's... Great work

[Ket]

Sorry dude, nice idea but it just does not look nice. Reminds me of that ugly Sapphire board that used I think it was the RS480 chipset.

It's cool.

Everyone has their own opinion. I didn't use the glitter glue. I used a marker for the red. Were do you see shinny glitter at


Also about painting over those chips. Could it not spread out the heat? Heat is going to work it's way out no matter what. I just didn't see masking them off if they didn't have a heatsink on them in the first place. I really don't think it's going to mess with them if so not bring down the system much.

So far it's a I like it or I don't

There are a lot of motherboards I hate the looks of and everyone else loves. To each their own.


And ket your the first I know of that didn't like the looks of that white AMD board. Haven't seen you around in a while. I hope life has been treating you well.

[Ket]

Indeed life has been pretty good cant wait for new years eve! An excuse to get pissed!

thats that then
i dont mind pink colour at all...i have lots of shirts and tshirts hehe but i just kinda look at all that different hardware and its just not matching up hehe

but if you like it thats all that matters

plus you may even have a bit more protection again water and stuff

btw i dont know if the Asus LAN chips get hot but on reference board they run real hot and i would uncover the spray on those things

maybe do a check

[s e r e n i t y]

haha pretty cool!

Not my cup of tea but nice going anyway

[ColonelCain]

Nice job DaMalta. Long time no see.

IMO, it looks O.K. But, it is the opinion in the eyes of the beholder.

Imagine if you tried RMA'ing that thing.

I know that it would be pretty pointless, but I would still do it just for sh**'s and giggles.

[runmc]

It looks cool buddy I always was a mod freak. Thanks for sharing your project Keep up the good work.

[drizzt5]

Not exactly what I would want my my mobo to look like, but damn dude.


+ respect for having the balls to paint your mobo. I never would of thought of doing that lol.

[DaMulta]

2008 sucked for me too bro, but luckily I was able to come up with an i7 with my bonus from work, but as it is for you too, 2009 is already looking bright for me, hopefully nothing unexpected gets in my way!
