im running prime95 at 66mhz right now... we'll see how it does.

I'm jumping back and forth between linux and windows so i can do some homework with it. the hd is a western digital, and it does have a temp sensor. i've used it in windows before. Im using xandros/debian but to make a long story short, i have no compiler anymore and it says it requires itself to in...

when the computer is warmer during the day i get reading from temp file errors within minutes.

sorry, i mean prime 95 has read from temp file errors when it gets hot.
The hard drive is indeed a little hot right now, and its been almost idle for a while. i'll see if i can put a small fan next to it.

the increased temp is due to both work load and room temp, mostly load though. i have quite good air flow, there are intake ducts on both cpus so they always get cold air, that saved 6 degrees. and there are no sides on the case. i stuck my hand in there just now and it was barely above room temp, b...

i think i did a quick check a few months ago... but ill have another look

I've been chasing sround stability issues, and i've got it so prime95 will run under windows or mprime under linux for about 12-17 hours before getting a rounding error. this is acceptable with me, but when the computer is warmer during the day i get reading from temp file errors within minutes. its...

I did that fix a while ago, and it worked... but i was running xp, and now that im using linux it has started again. maybe i'll try an older bios without hpt366

I just installed xandros on my bp6, and I am impressed. everything worked right away, I didnt have to mess around with anything. I am fairly new to linux, but its easier than windows to understand.

after reading that post, i tried to boot to beos... when it first starts up my monitor tells me the signal is out of range. The only thing that will make the screen work is alt-f4. the screen came back but there was no desktop, just the taskbar. no programs would run from the menu, and the taskbar i...

I recently installed BEos next to xp. I like the boot manager better than anything else, it's so simple. The main things i want from an OS are stability, quick easy web browsing, and instant messaging. rarely do i play pc games anymore, ps2 fills the slot. the stability is great, this is why i dont ...

could be worse, i just had my cd player and cb radio ripped off, literally. they tore all the wires out of the vehicle.

no need for something from this decade, just not from the 80's. you could buy my '75 pontiac astre... it's got a v8

both those civics are the perfect example of a ricer. :bigroll: usually one will have neons and stickers and such first, then the guy will do some really expensive upgrade to the motor to make 90hp instead of 60; thinking this makes it fast, and it's no longer a ricer. but when it has neons, and a s...

well, i do have a oxy-acet. torch... i could cut one out and weld it back together.

I've just installed suse 9.1 personal, which was nice and eas conpared to the ftp option. I'm trying to install programs that arent rpms, and i keep getting a similar error. I seem to have to c compiler... I dont know how you can do much without one, and i havnt had any luck finding one to use... So...

so, i've got the stability issues fixed... and im running suse as well as xp now. the only thing standing in the way of watercooling is the cost of waterblocks, i havn't seen one for less than $40 us... thats like $60cdn x2 plus shipping... and would be more than the rest of the computer was. If i j...

xp likes to forget how to power down a computer, it never did with my board...
3) I get the same thing sometimes when i leave the bios, it powers on and the drives spin, but no monitor or beep.

well, Im gonna see if i can get some water blocks while im at the computer store tommorow... cause im gonna water cool it now. No real reason, it run plenty cool, but like the topic says... I need a project. I have an explorer heater core, will that work ok or should i use a full rad? space isnt rea...

i had a 280zx na too, it was fun but the struts where gone...

its plenty fast for me, untill i try to post a message... then i have to wait for a while

i got mine for $75 cdn with 2x400cpus and an ugly case.. about 3 days before i registered here

1152x864

I've got it running nicely at 550, and the temps are: case: 41c cpu's: 37c I know where the case temp sensor is, but i want to cool the chipset some more. I found a fan from a p2-300 that fits perfect and put it on, and to my surprise the green heatsink has springs on the pins, no thermal goop, and ...

oops, double post

well, it was the ram... prime95 ran for 12 hours with no errors, so now im overclocking it again... and i'll probably not have to increase the voltage as much in search of stability, so it might be cooler
