Changes

I have made some changes since last posts and I am going to post some of these changes ! Hopefully someone will enjoy them !

First big change is the motherboard. My earlier motherboard (Asus P5B Deluxe), was a great motherboard probably better in some specs than this one. Now i have the eVGA nForce 750i SLI (Socket 775) and I'm still running with my Core2Duo E6600. HOWEVER ! I'm currently overclocking my processor !!! I'm quite happy about it since i haven't overclocked since a few years now !

So i'm running right now my CPU @ 3.30 GHz which is pretty cool... and my cpu is at 51C and apparently 60C is the maximum temperature of my specific Processor.

I am still cooling it with my Thermaltake Big Typhoon, which is doing quite a good job right now, but i gotta admit that most of the job is done by the 14mm 3blade server fan that makes as much noise as a car that exhausts the air in such a strength that one of my regular 14mm exhausts is actually IN-taking air! I.E., air is flowing the opposite direction of what it's supposed to ! Which indicates a NEGATIVE pressure caused by this extreme fan. I'm thinking of setting up my fans in a better way later, since it's not in an ideal setup right now obviously. I'm just testing things for the moment!!

I believe the main source of my Asus mobo frying was some sort of a power issue, since my Cooler Master PSU fried with it. I replaced it by the non-modular (by mistake) 750W corsair PSU. it's a great power supply, I'm not an expert in power but after the few research i've done i believe it's one of the best for it's price. I believe i got it around 130$ about a year ago.

There was 3 HDD's in my PC at that time, one of them fried also with the incident, the other one after removing it i f*****g DROPED IT !!!! it pisses me off so much... most of my important stuff were on it. In order to make a physical recovery right now it would cost me between 300 and 1000$ depending on from who i would get the service. My files are definitely worth it, but I am kind of broke right now !

I purchased a 1TB Western Digital HDD and put it in my rig. The functional 3rd drive, I am still using as an external hard drive with an Eagle Consus SATA to USB 3.0 Internal to External Hard Drive Adapter Station. I just invented the name by the way. I don't remember the official name but here's how it looks like.


I also use it in conjunction (WOW STR8 UP SMART WORD JUST RIGHT THERE !) with my acomdata 500 Gb external hard drive.

WELL WELL WELL. I'm kind of a bit tired of typing right now especially that it's almost 3 in the morning. so here's briefly what is left that i changed :

My sound system: I still have the bose sound system but i added my old Altec Lansing 2.1 just for the heck of it's bass !... when i listen to bumpy music i like to use the Altec Lansing, when i want good quality acoustics i tend to use the Bose. I also have The Beats by Dr. Dre Studio which i don't like by the way. I actually hate them lol in term of sound quality but i love their practiceness !!! here are some pics :

The other 3 objects are a Logitech Webcam, very cheap lol. Belkin 7 ports high speed usb 2.0 which i honestly love ! it is very effiecient, it has it's own power input which is very useful in case u use devices that require high power lowd such as external 2.5" hard drives. and finally my new Obtical Fiber Internet Modem/Router. It doesn't have a optical input but the data is still transmited to the building (i believe) by fiber optic by my Internet Provider (Bell Canada). It's the Fibe 15 (15 Mb/s connection) and i can download torrents usually around 2.8 Mb/s which is extremely impressive to what used to get with the 10 Mb/s regular connection (700 kb/s torrent downloads)

That's pretty much it... I'll try to keep posting !
