something like this
You can get them with more knobs.
You can get them with temp sensors and they will auto adjust the fan speed according to the settings you put in.
and so on...

What do people use to record games? Fraps? Im looking for something that records at 1080p and has no watermark. Dont mind paying a little but free would be awesome hah!

-( i )- Wicker

I imagine recording at 1080p would slow almost any system to a crawl. You'd probably need a video capture card/box

IrishMetalhead

i have a retail copy of fraps i got on ebay awhile back, got it cheap too, about €10 after shipping.
records 1080p and no watermark since it's not the free version

I've seen dozens of youtube users that recorded at 1080p using Fraps...

My new SSD is snappy but damn is this '256GB' business just plain false advertising! As soon as windows is installed, you're down to 200. I'm cool with losing 20GB say due to Windows and the SSD's firmware or whatever primarily takes up data but damn! My SSD only reads at 238GB on the 'My Computer' screen anyways. That's about what I expect. Windows 7 isn't 38GB is it? :pac: Any way to glean some gigs back?

When I was installing windows I unplugged my HDD because neweggs video told me to. Now my comp doesn't recognise it, I assume I have to change that in the BIOS or something?

Disable hibernation and you'll save a few Gigs.

Open up disk management and initialise the hard drive, that should sort that for you.

Gracie I shall try that.

Tea is watercooling my pc, cant wait for it

Monotype

Wow, that's great, I haven't heard of anyone using tea as water cooling before. You could get some nice colours with the berry flavours and it smells nice.

The only problem is that you'd have to replace it every week or two as it's not distilled and your equipment will gunk up with tannin and stuff inside a year.




:pac:

Lads would ye consider buying a refurbished monitor? (even if it has a warranty 60 day warranty?)

Serephucus

Yup, I would.

Tea_Bag

I'll just leave this here...

Serephucus

Jack O' Lantern Edition?!!

DO WANT!

(I'm liking everything Bitfenix releases recently)

Edit: Ok, so not Bitfenix, but still awesome. Mind you, for $800...

Tea_Bag

doing headshots water cooling.
and its running. no leaks yet thank god. bubbles almost completely gone now.

I'm not going to lie, this is probably the single hardest computer related thing I've ever done. my fingers are broken and my thumb is bleeding. still got to test the PC running etc etc all day tomorrow.

I've also got lots of spare screws, but you don't get instructions so dunno what to do. I don't have any jublee clips on the barbs. the ones supplied are strange and don't work at all. its 1/4" barbs with 7/16" tubing I believe, so it should be fine. my bleeding fingers are a testament to how hard they were to get on.

Serephucus

If everything's fitted, you shouldn't really need any spare screws or anything.

I assume you mean 1/2" barbs with 7/16" tubing? If you've got 1/4" barbs, 7/16" tubing is never going to fit. :P

Bleeding fingers?!

Tea_Bag

I just have left over odds and ends. ill throw up a pic.

yea my thumb bleeding from all the piping and screws.

just gonna link to it:
