Been out of the SPCR scene for 3 years.. what's good now?
Hi there! I used to be a quite active member on here, but I haven't posted for over three years. This is largely due to me satisfied in having built, with great help from this website and forums, a powerful and silent computer. I have not been bothered by computer noise so have not had any reason to...

Re: engineer
However with working CPU cooling it's not the case. Even after the "steady state" is reached, the cpu has a different temperature than ambient air, so this is not an equi librium. The heatsink is not in an equilibrium too, it has a thermal gradient. The "closer" to cpu, the hotter. ... So in short,...

...the penultimate material for thermal conductivity has been turned into thermal paste... So, it's the next to best material for thermal conductivity? What's the best? :? Uhm... it IS diamond.

would it be impossible to run this drive from the usb ports on the side of my monitor? (dell 3008wfp) there are 2 usb ports there but it must be a hub because there is only one cable which connects those two ports to a single usb on the motherboard. it is one of the chunky usb cables which extends u...

And is it really true that one fan, even if it is quiet, will go undetected if there is a HD to hide it? if the fans are spinning slow enough, yes! at least in my case and for my ears, it is true - the system has a 2.5" samsung drive sitting on soft foam, fanless psu, and two 120 mm fans push-pulli...

A challenge not worth it if all you are after is silence and you have room for a setup that can accommodate fans. What do you mean by this? If the system works equally well as one with fans and if it is not more expensive then why shouldn't it be "worth it"? i would say it is not possible to have t...

well i can easily batch-convert the png to bmp or jpg or whatever if that would make it any less of an 'odd conversion'. surely something must exist to do this because there are countless ebooks floating around the web made from scanned images... what i want it for is scanning my tons of sheet music...
