  1. before recieving the CPU you need to sign a warranty letter saying that if CPU dies - you will compensate it's price to Intel

     

     

    I tought so :)

     

     

    Anyways i check the Portugues Intel website, and they dont even have a phone number / email adress there, for the national offices

  2. I found that The Asus P5E3 Premium and the P5E3 Deluxe are not featured in HW, could you please add them?

     

    Also:

     

    Premium - X48

    Deluxe - X38

  3. K so ill trie sending them an email.

     

    Tough im kinda confused. What should i tell/ask them, and what arguments should i give

     

    xT0m you said you where getting bits and pieces ever since (explain?) do they send you stuff they dont need, or faulty ones?

  4. I've been seeing alot of people receiving CPUs from Intel (Confidential CPUs?)

     

    I just wanna ask:

     

    Do you guys ASK for the CPU's (if so how, and what is needed to get one)

     

    Or do they simply send you one cuz you got a high reputation?

  5. Not very many people do this, and IMO phase change cooled air = phase change cooling, Same with a water chiller.

     

    The last example is IMO either dice cooling, or perhaps phase change (the temps you get will be comparable to a SS, even if it's not using a compressor)

     

    I mean, ya cant really compare phace change cooled water to phase changed cooled air, i can only get my CPU to 20ºC with the AC blowing 5 inches from it, real phase change gets this temps but its on full load, on full load i do almost the same temp as in regular air cooling (42ºC against the 49ºC on regular air).

     

    But yeah, I understand what ya say, anyways the type o cooling you choose in the submit form doesnt change the points, so its worthless, just for comparison.

     

    IMO i think either HWbot should have a Sort WR by cooling tab....

  6. I believe its a highly conductive fluid, wich can easily, trough fluid convection currents, "transfer" the heat away from its source, bringing in the coolest part of it down (the one who was cooled in the heatsinks w/ fan)

     

    Quote from wikipedia:

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    A heat pipe is a heat transfer mechanism that can transport large quantities of heat with a very small difference in temperature between the hotter and colder interfaces.

     

    Inside a heat pipe, at the hot interface a fluid turns to vapour and the gas naturally flows and condenses on the cold interface. The liquid falls or is moved by capillary action back to the hot interface to evaporate again and repeat the cycle.

     

     

    A typical heat pipe consists of a sealed pipe or tube made of a material with high thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminium. A vacuum pump is used to exclude all fluids (both gases and liquids) from the empty heat pipe, and then the pipe is filled with a fraction of a percent by volume of working fluid, (or coolant), chosen to match the operating temperature. Some example fluids are water, ethanol, acetone, sodium, or mercury. Due to the partial vacuum that is near or below the vapor pressure of the fluid, some of the fluid will be in the liquid phase and some will be in the gas phase.

     

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

     

    So as I said, the hotter part goes up, cooler part goes down, really fast.

  7. Guys its the same thing with AC units. You can just put your cas in front of it and send a hell of a lot of air @ 4ºC into it, having the cpu idle at 15ºC (i know my pall's Q6600 gets those temps @1.54v@4.1Ghz, since we tried that aproach)

     

    So it still counts as aircooling, despite the AC unit having a PHase unit inside to cool the air, its the same think with a chiller.

     

    Also there are other ways to cool water:

     

    Run a spiral copper tube trough a big box of Dice is one, just dont forget the anti-freeze

  8. My old rig had a C2D E6300 running @ 3398Mhz, with 2x1GB DDR2 667Mhz Team Elite Dimms.

     

    Since i wasnt able to push the dimms farther than 980mhz (at 2.25v)i decided to buy some new ones.

     

    I bought 2x1GB DDR2 800Mhz Team Elite Dimms.

     

    After instaling (removed the oc to stock, but left it all in manual) them i booted the pc and ran Prime95 and a Memtest for 1 hour, to let them settle in. After that, i let the pc cool for a bit and rebooted to enter the bios.

     

    I went to raise the frequency, but at about +50mhz it wouldnt boot, so i raised a voltages to the ones i found to be safe under the old dimms (2.1v)

    but it wouldnt boot, so i settled for 2.05v. This time it did boot, and i ran prime95 and memtest at the same time for 8 hours straight. a few errors found.

     

    So next i started to OC it a bit, but even if i raised the FSB and let the dimms at 800mhz by altering the multiplier the pc would boot. (not even upping the NB voltage helped)

     

    Next i did a old 'lets see what happens' thing, so i put the FSB at 401(cuz P5B-e has a fsb wall betwen 320 and 400mhz), lowered the voltages as far as the mobo let me at 1.8v and changed the ratio to get the Ram at 802. It did boot and was stable in Prime and memtest for 8 hours, till i stoped it.

     

    Then i started upping the frequency, but at about 90+ mhz it got unstable, os i upped the voltage, but it got even more unstable

     

    Id hope you guys could give me some info on what im doing wrong (timings, burn in, setup....) cuz i never seen dimms get unstable if in the recommended voltage range by the provider.

    Do i need more burning in?

     

     

    Heres are the system specs:

     

    C2D E6300 @1.86Ghz (stock speed)

    Asus P5B-e Plus

    2x1GB DDR2 800 Mhz

    LC Power 550 Watt PSU

    ATI Shapphire Radeon X1950Pro

     

    The Rig was being cooled by a AC unit (CPU on 100% usage at 29ºC) with a Thermaltake TR2 cooler. (80mm 2800RPM fan)
