Plowing ahead with Bulldozer

Hey Mizzou, looking good. Can't wait to see that system up and running and benchmarked.
As far as 120mm fans go I looked for a while to replace the 200mm ones in my case (20mm deep ones) and read some good reviews of Xigmatek fans. For push pull on the rad I opted for Akasa Viper fans (quite quiet and decent CFM at lower speeds), although I'm not sure they do big 120mm versions.

They are indeed.

Still, they say that the other senses can compensate. Putting the system together solely by touch could be quite an achievement...and quite sticky (TIM application, guy- keep it seemly)

Given Benny's current state of mind perhaps we should avoid the topic of sticky substances.

I see that our taste in music is not the only thing we have in common.
Hopefully that will keep me on topic when I return....:rolleyes:

I'll check out the Akasa Vipers, sounds like the right combination of features. Not sure how the 1100T (for now) will stack up against your 2600K but we'll give a go :cool:

I wasn't going to say anymore on the matter, but you leave me no choice now.

All i did is voice an opinion that sits inside all true modders. You know i'm right....No modder can risist the smell of a brand new part, or the smell inside its new packet (the motherboard manual smells great also), It's like the perfume of a well looking lady.

There's nothing like a quiet sit down with a hot cuppa, and you're brand new part(s) in front of you, ready to be slowly opened....and checked over, very carefully.

Only liers disagree! :haha:

....You and your motherboard need to get a room
How would you like to be on the other end of this RMA?:D:p:wave:
 
Well this is certainly an interesting conversation! :haha:

I'm also now boycotting the word "RMA".... My faulty RAM needs sending to Taiwan at my expense, and having just got quotes its cheaper to buy another 8GB of RAM! Argh!! :haha:

Nice pictures by the way Mizzou. (See that, I kept it kinda on topic!) ;)
 
After digesting numerous reviews have elected to go with the Panaflo H1A. It appears to be a real performer and is at least reasonably quiest for a fan offering this much airflow. Came across a good review on Xbit and they gave it pretty high marks, details on the Panaflo H1A performance can be found here.

Have just a few more parts to round up and then should be able to start pulling this together.

Hmm the Viper doesn't get a good result. Guess it was just such an improvement over the default corsair fan I never checked more than a few reviews that seemed to have good things about it.

Well yes, new parts do smell very good, and I suppose that a similar sentiment could be could be invoked pertaining to your friendly neighborhood vestal virgin. Who BTW, secretly wants to be checked over "very, very, carefully".....;)

But, human pheromone laced mucal secretions and various chemical compounds do smell very differently. Perhaps, "more pleasant", could even be argued in favor of many organic compounds in the ketone-acetone family which tend toward being both intoxicating and sweet smelling simultaneously.

So, in furtherance of your endeavours in "differential smell analysis", always remember what the blind man said when he walked past the fish market.....; "hello ladies".

In a feeble attempt to remain on topic let me say this; "I'd sure like to bulldoze her for a bit, probably twice".......:wave:
 
Is wondering if he should rename the thread to something more in suiting with page 3's content.... :haha:

Well, "Bulldozers", "Make the earth move", as does a proper sex act. (At least for the "X" number of individuals involved). That being said, I can't fathom where the two topics should be mutually exclusive.

Although..., you don't normally "build a foundation for a bulldozer", but rather you, "build a foundation with a bulldozer". I've been meaning to ask Mizzou about that, but I didn't want to stray to far afield of the topic......:confused:
 
I apologize for derailing your thread Mizzou. It seems people don't want to come out of the closet yet on that subject.

I'll just say i'm *really* looking forward to your next pictures.... ;) :D

As usual your logic is impeccable (albeit twisted) and you make a valid point. Perhaps this thread would be more aptly titled as Plowing Ahead with Bulldozer :cool:

Think you've got a point there, will give it the consideration it deserves ;)
 
Some nice suggestions there guys :)

That does have a certain ring to it; please feel free to change it you wish :)

I’ve been bouncing between systems this evening getting the old AMD rig ready to sell. The only snapshot I have tonight are the parts that I’ll be hanging onto for the new rig and the X58. A Vertex 128GB SSD, Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD LG Blu-Ray and a USB 3.0 card for the X58.

The cooling fans and other parts have been ordered should be here next Tuesday, should make some significant headway next week.

I know I'll never forgive myself for saying this but, why not just hit "Edit" > "Go Advanced", and change it yourself"? :confused:

(Sorry, but that was like a big, fat, fastball, right over the center of the plate)...

Tried the edit but didn't think to hit advanced, brain cramp :eek: Done deal.

I left the door wide open on that one :)

Oops ...

Looks like it changed the title in the first post ... is there more to this :confused:

Yes, you begin to yell.... "LEEKY, HELP"..... (It seems that the TS server is always the last to know. (I wasn't expecting that either. I've only used to
he function to change individual post titles. It was discussed at some point, but aging braincells prevent me from remembering exactly where or when).

(I found the other thread. Nothing new there. Leeky had to change the thread title. So much power verily hath moderators).

Here's a silly fun fact. Running Firefox with "NoScript", if you block, "googleapis" the title is editable simply by hitting "edit". With "googleapis" running, you need to hit "go advanced" or else the title box doesn't appear above the edit box.

Leeky's not here right now, he's probably off inventing incendiary devices out of spare computers. He's like our own MacGyver
 
Are those parts on styrofoam? I would think that would be a potential source of static. The individual beads have a habit of charging up and sticking to your skin and clothes. If that's a motherboard box filler, I suppose they're treated against it.
 
That nice table of yours has a big scratch on it Mizzou :( ....Mind me asking how much you paid for the LG blu-ray?
