  1. Yeah, all of it is wild and unique man, love it. I just tell mystic to color change my rad fans to the temps I set.
  2. That stream does live on the internet archives.
  3. Me too! Good ideas. I'll definitely be incorporating them when I get to the loop. So, just to get it up and going asap, here's where we are case closed. I might do a 240 or 280 back there. Should end up being fairly flush then with the top.
  4. Lars does have some Linux data we were going to use. But, I think we should hash that part out when we get to simulate these new rules when the new stats site is live. I think we'll get a good feel for how this database will work for us in our adjustments. I think at this point, we're good with what we have in the existing site. Just waiting for month end to see what's broken.
  5. I can add that in if you want. How were you thinking you'd manage a rad in that inwin case? It's about time for me to fill it up.
  6. Yeah, the 8320 replaced a X6 way back when and was just barely better. Really, it was the only bulldozer chip I thought was decent. I never really had it under water, so that seems like a fun challenge. The case is very limited on fitting a radiator without some modification. The only rad i'm not using is a triple thick 360. I guess I should ask old donkey1514 about those 20+ rads he's got in his basement. ? Edit: Here's the watercooling dilema. I can easily intake a 120mm or 140mm above the front/side panel connectors. A 240 fits in that back, but won't work because the io and gpu plugs go through there. I could mod the back steel to external mount a rad though. Here's the 360 so you get a size idea. Also, the back plate removed. I was wondering about the 24 pin extension inwin included, but now I know why. I'll probably be stopping here for today to think before I put that tim on the 212+. A 140 rad will not work on the intake because it will hit the motherboard. 120 might fit there though. Limited modding if I go this route and that rad outperforms my 2x ekwb coolstream pe's. Looks janky though. I would sand a spray the rad back to looking good. Well, Hyper 212+ doesn't fit. Going to use this old thing for now. Long story about this thing. It was clogged at both tubes going into the pump at one time, so I opened it and fixed it, but I'll open it again because it's been sitting in a drawer for 7 years. Pump is working though after getting the air out of it. I'm going to roll with this for now.
  7. In memory of Micheal Hertz, or as you may know him as Hertz9753, I am building this computer to fold a GPU he used to fold in the OCN Team Competition, and then sold to me. I used it to build my 2nd Son's PC. He then upgraded his GPU, and returned it to me. I will fold it under his name for a few teams he used to fold for which are 37726 and 50711. Mike gave me 3 GTX 460's free of charge and just said fold them as much as you can. We then developed a pretty good friendship. He served as an Editor on OCN for a short while. I bought the 960 and a 2600k. He always was pretty amazed at how I used to flash the bios to unlock the voltage, and then oc them. I was always wanting to purchase his stuff because he never overclocked it. ? Anyway, what we have for this somewhat retro build is: InWin 903 Plus InWin Commander III 800w 80+ Gold FX 8320 Gigabyte 990FX UD3 Samsung 250GB 860 SSD EVGA GTX 960 Corsair 2x 8GB 1600 Custom Loop or Air, not sure. I would possibly need a GPU Block if I cannot get an old waterblock or 2 to work with it. Might be MCW82 and Enzo Copper Sinks like old times. CPU Block is either a XSPC or a Heatkiller III. Depends on if the Heatkiller III AM4 block I bought adapts to AM3. I have a few radiator options, but that's the hard part with this case. I just think I'll end up on air with a Hyper 212+ for now. @InWin Insighttagging you so you can see what I do with your gifts. Thank you for providing them. My work will progress through the thread posts, and then the pictures and explanation will be consolidated to the 2nd post. Thank you for taking a minute to check this out.
  8. Honestly, I think it's @axipher's turn.
  9. First Status Update!

  10. My Wife is pushing for a sequel, but I don't think that going to happen again. I believe this reboot isn't even wanted anyway. I think people really must have enjoyed subjecting me to such torture.
  11. I think these pay to play schemes are bringing in a lot more revenue than our typical games we used to play, so it's possible that just adding onto games that are still active is easy and cheaper.
  12. For this hideous profile pic! Once upon a time, there was this joke in a FAT that maybe I'd get dolled up if people could finally fold enough to beat the long-standing stretch goal we had and never hit until October of 2014. Then, @axipher, another reason to blame Canada, suggested, "How about do it on Twitch so all of us wonderful folding friends can have input on what she does." It was in this FAT that the stretch goal was not only met, but smashed and record setting. So, 1 hour of my wife doing my makeup and me live-streaming it on twitch.tv. I told a few of you, but this is the whole story. It's all axipher's fault!!! ?
  13. We, um, need all of the hardware for EHW plz ty lol
