So I see that the need for speed is a universal thing, so many here who enjoy fast cars as well
While I don´t have the time to get into car stuff IRL myself, I love to read, watch and learn. A favorite thing to relax for me is picking a nice onboard video from a rally stage or track that has just the engine sounds and go fullscreen.
German rally stage in the dark (I love the Videos from Zeltner and his GT3), speed is in KMH on his dash:
But I can´t decide which is more insane, going 170mph through the vineyards, narrow roads at night or town-streets:
(the talk is interesting, but takes away from the engine sound)

ShrimpBrime: HAHA, spectacular idea. Acetal. Hmmm, gets me wondering!

dr4g00n: Acetal is also great for that. It costs a bit more than acrylic but it's much nicer to drill and tap holes into for fittings and it doesn't get stress fractures like acrylic.

austin86: TBH I rather work with brass as its less messy then acrylic but acrylic is way cheaper.
May 17, 2024 8:36:32 GMT -5
ShrimpBrime: It would be easier than making acrylic for sure.

austin86: I did think about getting a brass/copper or stainless plate and making a top like what you stated. I might have one setting around out in the scrap pile.

ShrimpBrime: I have a custom block that has a steel plate with barbs brazed on. (As an idea for ya)

austin86: Does anyone know where I can get some very thick acyilc or lexan or something like that to make a custom top for a water block?

ShrimpBrime: Not all AM2 processors are soldered. Brisbane 6000+ 65w is not, Windsor 125w 6000+ is soldered. The Brisbane chips do run a bit cooler, but hit or miss on overclock-ability. I had a couple Brisbane chips that where complete dogshit OC.

austin86: thanks for the info. I was tossing around getting a am2 board with a 6400+ knowing what is an is not soldered will help a lot as the blocks I want to use are a little on the weak side

ShrimpBrime: Even Opteron is not soldered. They started Soldering chip on AM2 such as Windsor 6000+ and 6400+. Socket 1207 are probably soldered, but I've never had the platform to confirm or deny this fact. If you find something, please add it here.

austin86: sweet, even the opterons? what about socket F chips too ? I'm upgrading my retro gaming PC again.

ShrimpBrime: None are soldered. Have at it.

austin86: can any 939 CPUs be delided ? or are they soldered ?

zila1: It was beautiful today Jon. I washed my cars and installed a new radio in my van. Then went to Kostas in Algonquin for a beef sandwich. Great day.

ShrimpBrime: Finally some nice weather. Power washing the siding. Lookin new again!
Apr 14, 2024 14:06:06 GMT -5
zila1: Thank you so very much Scotty. That's so nice of you but I'm good. I was just shopping around and thought I would look at EVGA stock. That is a nice PSU though.

Mr.Scott: Eddie, I have a NIB Seasonic Focus 650 I can send you if it fits the bill.
