I modded my case today, its an old crappy case and I had gotten this odd fan bracket thing called a "card cooler" that attached to the PCI slot screws. Anyway, the fans were 120mm so I drilled and cut some big holes in my case, one one the side, where all the cards are, and one at the top. It is pul...

Wouldn't post at 100mhz fsb, had to search out floppies to flash bios again :)
gonna run prime95.exe stress tests overnight at 92mhzfsb. I think it will be fine. Its so much quieter. I can actually stand to sleep with it on, it may even be quieter than my newer athlonxp system.

Haha, nice one. Well, I've got everything back together now. I won't punish you with crappy webcam pics yet. But, it was crazy hard to get those clips down. It's running at 75mhz fsb right now just had to make sure it works first. Gonna try to up it in a few. A few problems, the top capacitors are t...

OMG its impossible to bend, thankfully my dad's garage is nearby. I just found the biggest wire cutters I could find and had those zif curves off in 2 seconds. Now to work on fitting in between those capacitors and cleaning off the old thermal goo.

New Coolers in queue

I got my new Whisperrock V coolers today and a Zalman Northbridge cooler. Thanks to purrkur in this thread for all the info on the Whisperrock IV's. I don't have time to put it all together tonight but I tore my system apart to take a look at how I can make these big coolers fit. It looks as though ...

I just ordered 2 Spire Whisperrock V HSF's (they are supposed to be the same as IV but with a quieter fan). I was looking for a quieter solution and after researching a bit I decided the Evercool CUD-725's would be just as loud as the old fan's in there now. I run my newer AMD computer all the time,...

Yeah, I use XP pro, and even installed Debian Linux on it since that last post. I've also had trouble this summer with the system getting too hot and have had to underclock to 75mhz fsb. I need some extra money so I can redo my case cooling setup. This forum has been incredibly helpful.

BP6 2xCeleron 366@500

Long long ago in the summer of '99 a friend of mine advised me to build a BP6 machine with him. It was the first computer I ever bought and I knew hardly anything. I only bought one cpu cause I was a poor high school weenie and I only ran Win98 at the time. So, over the past month I've been browsing...
