mother of boards

well guys I have been away for abit... and guess why? my mother board died. To be specific, I'd say it was the north bridge because one of the anchors holding down the heat sink popped out thus improper cooling of the north bridge. I should have realized it when my computer was acting weird but it was a crappy mother board anyways so I'm happy to have a better one. It's not top of the line though since I'm not rich... so sad, still it's a lot nicer than my old one ^^

tell us the stats of you new one.

The new motherboard is an EVGA nForce680i SLI and the RAM is 2 1GBs of OCZ 800DDR2. cool thing about the ram is that is has a heat pipe to pull the heat away from the ram. Also 2 new Silver Stone case fans. all I can say is those things blow!

nice i got the preinstalled one as my parents wont let me put a better one in so it makes WOW lag and other stuff:(

should I know what you're talking about?

if you aspire to be a geek, yes.

i just what i say alot of people dont understand what i say i might make a me-english translation page

mine came with a pre-installed, but i got something good. i don't know all the stats of my motherboard though, but i'll just say it runs very smoothely, makes no noise and has never once heated up!

your lucky mine is noisy as the fan is always on full as it gets really hot i even put a coolant in it and it deosnt make a difrence so i got a small freezer and i keep the tower in that (really i keep ma computer in a freezer)

nice I wish I had a freezer for my computer then I would never need fans or anything! maybe I should invent something...

have you overclocked it yet?

not really, I haven't had the need to yet.

Well, this is interesting!

Oh, i've heard about a water coolant system that you can get for your PC. I know a guy that has it, and his computer works great!

Note: I'm downloading Ubuntu right now! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

water cooling is old news over here. some one I nkow it useing quad Sli i think.

Quadcore, I think.

anyway, I've heard of PCs with oil cooling in it: make your PC casing watertight, pour in some oil in it which doesn't lead electric current, and voila your ubercool system!

no it's 4 nvidia video cards working together.

HOLEY... crap!

yea but you dont get four times the power output but you need one hell of a power supply.

oh and we have comps with 8 cores.

computers exist with 10 cores... they call them supercomputers, and they don't fit inside your bedrooms, I guess!!!

I think super computers have more than 10 cores and they are not as big as you think

they have alot more than 10 cores.

Ok, what are cores?

processers, example I have a dual core processer thus I have 2 processers or 2 cores.

Oh, right. The thing next to the main cicuitboard.

I take it you don't know much about computers, right?

Yep. That's right. All I know to do is use them.

So you've built your own computer then?

I havent but I know how to.

same counts for me!

yes I built my own, I love working with computer hardware, unless it doesnt work lol! but I'll take a pic someday.

especcially if it's open source software! Jay!
