a little bit cool a little bit wank factor, my preference lies with BF3

Does anyone have a brand new Intel socket 775 CPU cooler laying about that I can have? I used to have somes of them laying about from when I had built machines and put on aftermarket cooling, but I chucked them out a while back in a cleanup :( I need one asap.

Forever (well the life of the machine anyhow). If it's your only one and you want to keep a spare then keep it Steve. I was just hoping someone had a ton of them laying about, like I used to. I can get one for $8 delivered off Habibay, but don't really want to wait. I have now stolen one off another machine sitting here which has now got me out of trouble, but still need one to go back on the other machine now.

Anyone?

Having something of an interesting problem with my laptop at the moment.

Basically, after an hour of running, and I mean dead on an hour every time, clock speed snaps up to 100% and stays there until I power it down. Started a couple weeks ago, figured it was a virus of some description, but neither Symantec or Spybot found anything note worthy. Dropped it off at Luke's place to see if he could figure it out, couldn't replicate the problem, and it was left running over night and the next day. When I got it home, did it first time, disconnected my external HDD which we figured could be problem, still did it, took it to a friends place the next day for a Dexter marathon and it performed faultlessly.

Then when I got it home again, problems. Opened up Task Manager, and had a look around Resource Monitor, Internet Explorer, which I only ever used to download Firefox, and has been quite content to sit in the background ever since, is running up to 90% of available processing power, end process and everything returns to normal. But I basically have to do it every time it happens.

So my new problem is, uninstalling. How? It doesn't appear in Add/Remove, and I have a feeling just deleting the file won't quite cut it...

Quick warning to anyone considering buying an OCZ Revodrive Original or Revodrive x2

Had my 110gb Revodrive (PCI-E) SSD stuff up today. Its only 4 months old and is a replacement for a 50gb unit of the same make I had to RMA.

1st one developed sector and File table errors, 2nd one is suffering from the 2nd of the Raid0 mirros to disappear after several minutes of power.

Needless to say, I'm miffed. I have all my critical data on another array of drives, and I have a tape backup unit, but neither of those are suitable to be used to host an OS, so I'm back to my laptop until this gets resolved, or unless I can borrow a drive from work for the time being.

The X3's support TRIM - maybe this helps the first problem I had but the second one is obviously a hardware issue. And we're currently trialling OCZ SATA3 SSD's at work for the programmers to use (compiling source code uses a lot of IOPS's and the SSD's take 1/3rd of the time to compile as their HDD counterparts - the longevity of such devices remains to be seen...)

*sigh*

That aside, I'm going to get another video card, a bigger monitor, 2x2tb raid drives to expand my array and a copy of Battlefield 3 when its out. And more backup tapes for my pron important data...

-D

I'll buy it when its out. Not that desperate.

yeah i dont see the point paying over $40 more just for 3 DVD's and a box

True,and tbh computers and my job frustrate me to the point that I just cbf dealing with beta level software...

That and I work for a software company and I have a moral obligation to give the devs the money IF I like the product and want to keep it....

Bought WOW:BC, WOW:LK and WOW:Cataclysm, Doom3, Flashpoint: Dragon Rising amongst a few others... if the product is good, I'll buy it, but I download them first and try them... which some might label piracy, I call it 'tasting the fruit'

I need a Toshiba laptop charger asap, wheres the best place? Or if someone has one they want to sell me thatd be great, I get 45 mins for lunch to cant venture too far outside of Wingfield!

Work laptop has shit itself.

Go to start it up and when it's meant to go to the start up screen, I get nothing, just black.

Said something about DST error and what not but daylight savings time shouldn't have anything to do with it.

Guessing the HDD shit itself or something?

Does anyone know where I can download a copy of Windows Vista for free?

Don't have a copy on disk here and I'm in the the middle of the desert so no chance of running down the shops for one.

    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
    • That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
