Damn ebuyer taking their time.

Sending stupid motherboard and CPU today

Going to post my stuff today, wasting another £10 on it. Hopefully ill be able to get a refund from all the mulla spent on it. Was quite a fun conquest in PC buyage :)

New PC Temperatures

No idea why, but now the temperatures are: mobo 16c and cpu 30c… nice :)
hmmm, its 14c mobo and 27c cpu nows :D mwahahaha

..update, i’ve seen the pc reach a new low of 13c mobo and 25c cpu… go fans

New disco pc

Disco pc
No disco balls unfortunately, i’ve finally got round replacing all the cables to rounded ones and installing LOTS of fans. 2 at the front for intake, 2 at the rear for exhaust, and not idea why but 2 side intakes too. So the place is flooded with cool air :) temperatures are now 34c idle and 38c load. Just anything below 40 = cool for me :) The thing turns made discoey at night too, though it isnt night time yet to see the disco effects. Oh well.

Crap! Damn mum

Managed to sort out the motherboard and processor from ebuyer.city link will return the goods back to them and i will get my refund. unfortunately i was out to lunch and my mum picked up the goods instead of telling them to return them. so now i have to send these fucking goods back (which are STILL the incorrect ones) before they can pick them up and refund my mulla!
really frustrated now. its like the THIRD time i had to send these stuff back! this time i dont even need to open them up and test them (probably wont work anyway) so yeah. more packing and posting for me.

Bought some disco stuff

After realising the PC was getting kinda hot i decided to go and purchase some nice rounded cables for good airflow, better fans for more intake and exhaust, and also some cold cathods to make the whole PC look a bit discoey.

Here’s what I bought

Akasa AK-178-BL 12″ Cold Cathode - Blue
Metal Thumbscrews 6 pack - Steel Cases
Akasa Serial ATA 45cm DAYGLO Orange Data Cable
Akasa Rounded Ultra ATA133/100/66 IDE UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.45m) - Blue
Akasa Rounded Floppy UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.45m) - Red
Akasa AK-H254 60CM 3pin fan extension cable
Akasa AK-1704RDS Crystal 80mm 4x Red LED Fan
Akasa AK-170CB-4BLS Crystal 4x Blue LED Fan
Akasa Rounded Ultra ATA133/100/66 IDE UV DAY-GLO Cable (0.60m) - Green

All rounded up to £50, but i seriously needed to cool this mofo down, will need an intake fan so some air will actually be coming into the case. Dont even think there is air coming in.

Computer HOT!

AMD 64
Yesterday my PC was roasting to about 41 degrees. Had to let it cool down before anything bad happens. Guess i need more airflow for the damn PC. Those temperatures are hot baby hehe. Not sure about other ways of cooling the damn thing. The PC is already flooded with fans.
