Yes, Unlike You nice americans who like things BIG, POWERFULL and EXPENSIVE. We British are Quiet, Polite, and skint due to the lack of any industrial advances (and therefore, interesting employment) in the past 30 years (anyone remeber anything?).
So what am I on about?
Ok, XP 1800 now running at 1.78Ghz 49C Full Load using stock cooler and two case fans.... Its been running at 65C for toooooo long Man.
Yes, We Britsh are the best
Or am I not the first person to do this? In which case I will go and crawl back into my bunker.
You see the problem was this, not the amount of case fans (I had seven at one point) and not the type of heatsink (I had a tak68 from global win but it didnt even touch it.) Its where you put them fans that matters!
Oh, and tidy cables helps loads and loads, but I didnt think it was that important, obviously I was wrong again.
Cheers, and finally, now I am happy the missus can have this machine....
How much are them Xp2800+'s
