The use of overvolting a Wireless card? Better transieve power?

I doubt it. The reason for the overvoltage is that I didn't have/want to add a thingy that would change voltage from 5V to 3.3V. The heatsink works well cooling the Realtek chip

Does yours connect directly to the motherboard? Why not USB?

**TiN_** · 02-18-2010, 03:43 PM

Yep directly, don't have any USB on back io free

Endurance and lifetime of massively overvolted (1.7V more!) chip will decrease A LOT (few ten times less, i think)

Meh... I don't use it everyday. Maybe one day i'll add the thing to decrease the voltage when im bored

**dpokrajac0** · 03-07-2010, 06:25 PM

intel stock hs. nice.

**lism** · 03-07-2010, 09:03 PM

I used to recover an old notebook HDD which was from a lawyer. She was about to go down with a company that charged her over 1500 euro's for a usual data recovery.

With just a wine-cooler and big ass icecubes from my parents wonderfull fridge, i managed to recover the HDD perfectly.

Made 200 euro's out of 2 hours of work. (For those not knowing why freezing a HDD works often, it actually works often!) Sealed and connected with a USB controller.

i did this on my company's HDD that had 7 years of data ,it worked fine with dry ice as well

**lism** · 03-08-2010, 07:11 PM

I was glad the disk made it using normal ice. Dry ice should be wayyyy better for any HDD.

I had a long while and some old hardware, old case ad one cheap pump. Reservoir is made from bottle of distilled water

**JWB** · 03-24-2010, 07:29 AM

This is my homemade water cooling setup. The first time I've used water cooling as well to be honest.

Holds a Q6600 stock at 24C and clocked @ 3.4ghz at 28C which is a few degrees above my room temp! 35C @ 3.4ghz under load or 38C under intel stress test. I'm happy with it so far!

Notice the storage tub as the resvoir, garden hos as 1/2" tubing. Also the pump is a garden pond pump. Cannot remembr the make but very high flow rate and very good build quality. Along with flow speed adjuster.

A Vauxhall Tigra car radiator as the rad. 2 120mm fans (on panoflow, one delta) and hose connector cut and melted in with special plastic glue on th front water intake pipe.

The system fits tidily on my desks shelf and is powerd by a silverstone 1200W psu and a 500w generic psu (for rad fans and n/b fan)

The hose connected to swifttech block with petfe tape and ring clamps.

Despit the gehttoness there have been no leaks so far and has ben really reliable. Cost about £100 to make

Acer One Ferrari 200 bluetooth mod.
This laptop should have had bluetooth, but it doesn't, while Acer sells them with bluetooth.

I picked a ground and a 5v point from the motherboard, used the usb- and usb+ channels from the mini-pcie port to make an extra usb port for a bluetooth module.

Mini-pcie is awesome. You can even create an extra sata port if you want.

**Szpara** · 04-03-2010, 03:16 PM

that's the way ownage, that's how we mod stuff the ghetto way lol

I think there's some issue with databases etc or just flaw in vbulletin. Somepart of forum tinks that in this thread is more messages than there is (after post deleting, failed database backup, etcetc).

it might have been from the server failure...
