That's a video of me after Wednesday night at Bad Aims

Mine is home built Asus P5N-D Intel Q9400 Oc'd to 2.90 ( for now) 2 gigs Corsair pc6400 ddr2 Corsair 600w PS XFX 8600GT 512mb ram Wd 80 gig HD Win XP SP2 Acer 21" LCD 5ms X-52 Track IR4 Black Death at 38fps average

Thank you for the info Brando. I am looking into changing over to liquid cooling now. I received my cleaner and paste today, and after school tonight I replaced the CPU cooler with my Zalman cooler and the max temps I got with the black death with explorer running in the background,track IR and Saitek profile was 43c.

I have a Zalman cooler that I took out before I recleaned the processor. I am waiting for some cleaner and thermal paste to come from Newegg Tuesday. When I put it on me dual core processor it cooled it down 15c. Now I am out of thermal paste and Radio shack is out too. Hopefully I'll be back flying on Wednesday night.

Any advice where to look for info on water cooling? I think that is my next step. I cleaned the processor and heat sink, use good paste and it still gets up to 65c under load. I have noticed that one processor is usually a few degrees hotter that the rest. The 0 core is the one, but it handles more of the process than the rest. Is this normal?

Good one Smash Thats just to funny.

After the melt down of my last processor and mobo I have obtained, at great cost to my marriage, a new ASUS P5N-D and a Intel Q9400 processor ( Quad core 2.66 GHz). My question is what is the thermal range for a set up like this? my old system would run at about 50c on the mobo and processor at full load. Now with what I have It runs at about 60c at the processor with a stock fan and 43c on the mobo under full load. I guess my question is does the quad core processors run that much hotter than the dual core ones do?

Hello all Just as I got back on-line and had everything working again, my mobo s**t the bed. It seems that I got a spike Thu the cable line. For the good news I was able to order a new one and a new quad core processor too. I even paid for second day air so I would have it for this weekend. To bad it is stuck in Orlandos UPS depot because they don't deliever on the weekend

Good one CG

What OS are you running? I have XP and when I installed SP3 all sorts of weird things started to happen. When flying in game my plane would just explode for no reason. I would get disconnected from the internet, Track I/R wouldn't work ect. After uninstalling SP3 all works well for me.

I second that JP. Thanks to Klinger and Friar for all thier hard work, and congratz to the Reds

:k9lmao: Very funny Mctav like it would ever happe.....fade to black

Oh no Jim I also agree with Jabo, Welcome to the pound Padfark, drinking and swearing are not only tolerated but graded too.

I have had the X52 for almost three years now and I am very happy with it.

How true!

Thanks BA

Tonar , you are doing the right thing by being patient. Do your homework, Newegg is a great place to start, besides their learning center, they have the best customer service in the business. I bought all my parts for my new rig through Newegg, and have nothing but praise for them. Also don't go with the 8600 GT spend the extra on a 8800 it is worth it.

How do I get two different briefs for allied and axis in a coop mission?

Congrats Tonar. I wish the two of you many happy years together.

I bought a 22" Acer when I built my computer and I love it. Very inexpensive,good responce time (5ms), and no dead pixels.

For many years I have enjoyed surfing, but in the last few years it has become unsafe to be in the water at my home beach. Just click on the picture and you will understand http://www.wftv.com/news/16846313/detail.html New Smyrna Beach has become the shark bite capital of the world!

The Pope. After getting all of Pope Benedict's luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn't travel light), the driver notices that the Pope is still standing on the curb. "Excuse me, Your Holiness," says the driver," Would you please take your seat so we can leave?" "Well, to tell you the truth," says the Pope, "they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a Cardinal, and I'd really like to drive today." "I'm sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I'd lose my job! And what if something should happen?" protests the driver, wishing he'd never gone to work that morning. "Who's going to tell? Besides, there might be something extra in it for you," says the Pope with a smile. Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 105 mph. (Remember, he's a German Pope) "Please slow down, Your Holiness!" pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens. "Oh, dear God, I'm gonna lose my license -- and my job!" moans the driver. The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. "I need to talk to the Chief," he says to the dispatcher. The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he's stopped a limo going a hundred and five. "So bust him," says the Chief. "I don't think we want to do that, he's really important," said the cop. The Chief exclaimed," All the more reason!" "No, I mean really important," said the cop with a bit of persistence. The Chief then asked, "Who ya got there, the Mayor?" Cop: "Bigger." Chief: " The Governor?" Cop: "Bigger." Chief: "The President?" Cop: "Bigger." "Well," said the Chief, "Who is it?" Cop: "I think it's God!" The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, "What makes you think it's God?" Cop: "He's got the Pope as a chauffeur."

:k9lmao: Oh my (Bless me Friar) gosh. I almost fell out of my chair.

~S~ Capt. welcome to the pound. J.O. is a great place to learn how to fly tho it has a pretty big time commitment for BFS. It is worth all the time spent. It will make you a much better pilot!
