I'm with Steve too! Project t00tenburger.

Looks like I'm the only one not playing the CoD beta, need to work out that kink.

Running a server from my place, couple DNB mixes on the site and Mix links on the forum, join up. I can host your mixes if you need. Also, there is a section in the forum to post your beats if you like. http://breakbeat.endoftheinternet.org http://breakbeat.endoftheinternet.org/forum

lol on your nose!

It sounds like you're going through a transparent cache proxy. Either your ISP has started implementing this in the past few weeks or you've change ISP recently. Try unplug the router from the wall and plug it back in then if you still can't download then you aren't appearing to the web server as a different source IP address, or some scenario pretty close to that.

Nice one, love it once it drops!

If it gets too hot the machine will shut itself down, there's also some features in the BIOS you will see with regards to that, such as thermal throttling and such which are all on by default. Let it run for a week or two to let it settle in and enjoy. I've got a coding question for you which will be conveyed via PM, really hoping you can help me.

Very Important to make sure that all four clips click, very much best to do it with the board out of the case, lay it on the motherboard box so you can apply nice pressure. Agreed with Steve, a nice Zalman will work those temps out, and the best thermal paste out there: Arctic Silver AS5 or AS Ceramique, will drop temps by 3-5C for sure. I currently use the Asus Silent Striker AL and it's on par with both my Zalmans. I think first get the sporatic reboots sorted, make sure you apply firm but caring pressure to the reseat, for the default cooler make sure you read the little booklet as you do it, ensuring you reset the clips to their default position before attempting a mount.

Stress testing apps: CPU: Prime95 Memory: SuperPi Both defacto standard. Temps in 55-60 loaded wouldn't cause random reboots IMO, but it is a touch on the high side. That is loaded we are clear about that. If you get any errors in Super Pi such as "not convergent in round" then you might be looking at RAM spped or timing issues and your BIOS might not have the optimum timings by default for your RAM and taking it down to 667 might enable you to use the current timings.As you can imagine it would be quite hard for the board manufactures to get default settings correct for every RAM/CPU combo. I have to adjust mine to optimize. Maybe .2 extra vmem or .5 vcore is in order. The RAM should be around 1.9-2.0 vmem to operate correctly and I would guess a 9300 to be around 1.8-2.1vcore.

hen the last thing I would do is take it all completely apart and rebuild it if it continues to give issues. Mid fifties is pretty high though for a 45nm chip, no kidding. I've pushed a 45nm E8400 to 4Gigahertz on air and it was around 43-45 in the BIOS, Depends on the amount of case components though so it's cool. The peak specification for these CPU's to run up to is 70C btw. Not saying it's a heat issue at all infact I doubt it, but just letting you know it isn't 90C, the pentium chips were though and the Celerons. I have experienced a faulty cdrom rebooting a system before, but then I've also seen faulty mobos, RAM and CPU's do that, honestly the last thing I would do is blame the brand new components, but then you can start taking out RAM modules one by one and swapping out the PSU, then HDD, then CPU then Mobo.... in that order.

Congrats on your new build. As for your problems, first I would check there's no shorting going on. Did you ensure to place the mobo on top of the gold grounding pin holes supplied with your case usually, with the pin holes firmly screwed in? That has caused me issues in builds before. Make sure all connectors are firmly in place and re-attach them to make sure. Make sure there are no loose screws or any foreign objects lying at the bottom of your case, or hidden in the corners. Boot into the BIOS and look at the memory and CPU settings, ensure that nothing is running at higher speeds than it should be, also check the BIOS temp monitor and look for healthy temps between 35-45C. Make sure you have adequate airflow, no need for too many fans though. Ensure the CMOS battery is firmly in place, I have had a loose CMOS battery short a board, turning it on and then off again when attempting to power on. You would need to install a fresh copy of XP when migrating to the quad platform from an old platform, not doing so can cause weird software issues or lack of full performance. Lastly, put linux on the machine for fuck sake!

DDR3 is still too expensive, if the board supports DDR2 800 go for that, make sure you get latency around: Cas Latency 4 , that will wip 667 straight up no questions asked. Trust me, I've done the Super Pi benches on 667 800 and 1066. That being said, a DDR2 1066 board would be great too, as long as your Cas Latency timing is : 5 or 4 if available yet.

I would say a quad core q9300 chip would be a solid buy. These are from the 45nm range and offer less power consumption and cooler output than the Q6600 and it's brothers in the 6 range . A quad chip will offer a noticable advantage in heavy multiasking situations. I have a dual core 45nm E8400 and a quad core 65nmQ6600 and multitasking is much more fluent on the quad. Others can school you some more.

I don't have COD4, I should have it though.

Stick to linux, you noob(jokes, cannot believe I typed it!).

No Steve, it's the latest Need for Speed, so usually the most players wilil be using it for multiplayer! Besides, only came out like late last year I think. The next NFS comes out end of this year. I'm gonna get Bad Company but I heard they changed the control configruation around from Modern Combat which is not cool. They do it in NFS games also, and no option to configure your own controller setup is junk!

Got the Need for Speed Pro Street, it's crap mostly, very repetitive.

I was gonna download the demo off live the other day, didn't. There is this one 8ball pool game demo though, they let you play like 4 shots and then they cut you off, 4 shots wtfffff. Played the golden axe demo, they give you like 5 minutes of play which is better but fuck.

lol lol (diggla dp)

ecco the dolphin, tight!

Copy games to the hard drive!!!! Oh my sack, yeh baby, no more loud airport dvd noise.

I would imagine the size of ones willy shrinks greatly during stage fright!

I like everything from dnaudio to Alix Perez!
