Just a quick update
 

Wanted to let everyone know that I am writing on my PC-50 (Project Pro/LAN I have named it now) and hopefully it will be posted within a week. The staff have been editing and critiquing it as I go, so it should be ready pretty quickly. I have one remaining task to complete and then I can just type it up.

Currently in "overextended" hell; more stuff on my desk with near deadlines than I can even see in one glance. So I may take a little while to respond to e-mails.

On a more interesting note, I learned a few things about TBreds. According to the tech docs, there is no difference in the heights of the XP vbs. TBred chips, so that doesn't explain the high temperatures. I remain convinced that the Innovatek isn't getting good contact with the core, however. I have a modification to the block to try and if that fails I am going to try another block (Maze2). This sounds like a good Saturday night project to me :)

I have a Swiftech pelt baseplate and a 226W peltier in the mail. One way or another, I WILL cool this damn chip.

hmmm.. i wouldnt even think of using a Maze2 and a 226w peltier :/
i mean, they arent bad or something, but the performane and all those bent corners are questionable .... :/

not so bad
with a TEC a uniform heat flux is a design goal - for BOTH sides
and the Watt density is fairly low
- that's a pretty good wb for such

no no I will be using the Swiftech block, cold plate, and peltier eventually. In the short term, I wanted to try a block that mounts using the 4 socket holes to see if poor contact explains the high CPU temps.

being 'the testing guy';
why not try them both ? eh ? eh ?

I am gonna see if the chip will work in my 8K7A. If so I'll see if the Swiftech block makes a difference.

Didn't get the chance to do this on yesterday. I DID send Joe an article detailing the construction of my project case, however. Hopefully he'll get that formatted soon and posted. Back to grant writing for me :(

When your done we need a grant writer here for some projects we are starting, so tool on down and write up some grant proposals for me ;)

godamn, if this is a que I need to get in line also

I have a HUGE current accounts deficit crying for 'easy money'

what's your cut Scribe ?

You guys are in US. Grant acceptance rate in the 10-15% range. Not worth the trouble. If you guys need to make money via testing, then the answer is simple. Spend your effort not on methodology or statistics, but on a "Editor's choice" logo.

arrrgghhh !

cute Doc, really cute

sales over engn, every time

arrgghhh

Whooohooo!

Nice one pH :D and just FYI Grant approval for justice related fields like my job is well over 90% :)

more politicians
more laws
more criminals
more cops
more judges
more prisons
more jailers
- return to the top

hey, what a great system

didn't OC-WC have a 'best' award ?

Look Ma! An Infinite Loop! When will it crash?

Whats a better alternative? Less laws, less criminals in the legal term, less cops, less judges, less prisons, less jailers, far more rampant crime.

You want an example of a place that the Law does very little to put pressure on crime ridden areas? just look in good Ole Detroit.
What a merry place that is ;)

Who gave OCWC a "best" award?

Best not to look to Detroit for guidance (in ANYTHING). Many other countries get by fine without such a sizable fraction of their population in custody, though. Maybe could take a look at those locales.

Hint: real wars are between two or more nations; not between a nation and controlled substances or terrorists. Wars on drugs and terror are designed to never end and require ever-increasing manpower and financial support.
