    send it for rma, wait for 15 days, if they cant repair it and no good comes out, then ask for money back if it is still under warranty and get the new mobo...

    bit of an update on this. I will be ordering the 2nd 780 tomorrow. Also, my Kingston SSD decided to die on me (the sata data connection completely broke off somehow) so I also had to order a new boot SSD. Once I have Windows reinstalled (joy  :wacko: ) and the 2nd 780 in the system I will take some new pictures to show the H100 with the noctuas on it that I mounted to the front intake.

    Updates!   This would be a very quick and small update, the build will be finished soon All I need is to wait for my final package from Frozencpu (which already in the custom) containing low 90 adapter and some bolts for my fan radiators The package will be here on Monday   Meanwhile I've finished the res of the tube bending except for the one from GPU to South Bridge (which require the low 90 adapter) Pardon me for the crappy picture, its really hard to take good photos at midnight, after 2 hours of straight tube bending and with warm lighting         I've forgotten to take pics of the tube running from top rad to CPU block, guess it will have to wait until the loop is all done The hard tubing is pretty tricky to be photographed, wrong angle and the tube would look off while it is actually straight   On another note , I have a lot of dust sitting in the case due to long waiting period So I decided to take it all off today, and do final cleaning including washing the tubes and polishing it with car polish wax and make all the nickel shinier     These are all the tubes and fittings I'm using (total of 20 compression fittings)  

     
    I still can't resist how good the GPU block is , :rolleyes:     And the CLU is ON!       Thx for holding on til now, big thanks to whoever currently reading this next update would be the final tube, cables and leak testing (I hope

    rmonty reacted to LinusTech in why does linus hate HDMI?   
    I'm pretty much over my DVI infatuation now that 4K is a thing.
     
    DVI can only do 2560x1600 60p and carries no audio.
     
    One of the things I really liked about it in the past was the fact that it (DVI-I specifically) could be adapted easily to either HDMI or VGA, making it basically a universal output for something like a laptop if you don't mind carrying around a couple little adapters (which I do) and I guess this is still valid, but it's definitely losing its luster now that it can't handle every display on the market anymore.

    Because maths breaks at infinity.
    Also, they used an average of 2 possible answers to solve it, which doesn't seem right. When you solve a parabolic quadratic equation, you get 2 answers, this is slightly different, but you get either 1 or 0, and not 1/2, so if anything there should be 2 answers to 1+2+3... one using 1 and one using 0.

    rmonty reacted to Dark_Nemesis in Incredibly dumb mistake (AS Adhesive)   
    Hope you decide to leave it alone, epoxy takes a couple of days to fully cure, but after that it doesn't make any difference if you wait another day or year before trying to remove it. 
    IF you run into a situation in the future then part of the damage might already be done (you may already have a malfunctioning part) so the potential damage may be less.
    As for removal if you have your heart set on getting that ***ker off,then before you start pouring chemicals on your mobo, go to a hardware store and get a bottle of cooling spray( picture below) it may not look like much but the cooling capacity of this stuff is unbeliavable. It gets a lot cooler than throwing it in the freezer, and you can spot cool the cpu socket only, which doesn't make the entire board brittle, like throwing  the whole thing in the freezer would. 
    Epoxy becomes more brittle the colder you get it, and a spray like this is crazy cold like -55C (-65F) or something like that. Spray that thing at the socket from all directions probably for a good minute, and then tap the pump with something metal,this to hopingly create cracks in the bond between the two surfaces. Then spray it some more to make sure it's cold enough, and then grap the pump (you may wanna use gloves if you did it right it's really cold) and in a twisting motion try to remove the pump, (without using too much force and risk breaking socket or cpu) 
    This stuff is is gas, so it evaporates immediately, and has no chance of shorting out you system, ofcourse, for this you'd need to drain you'r loop otherwise you'd risk damaging your pump when the coolant inside it freezes.

    It is and since am3+ is being discontinued, it's good to get a fm2 socket.
    For Hard drive go for this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003
    It will give you more performance than the green for pretty much the same price.

    Well gang, it has been a great run. Unfortunately I have some issues going on here at home which will require my focus for the next little while. As such, I will not be very active on the site or forum.
     
    I am very happy though to be able to leave the new comers in very capable hands as we have many awesome veteran users now who are VERY helpful. 
     
    My sincere thanks to all of you. The senior guys for sticking with it and helping out and to all the noobs - you are the ones that truly make the LTT team what it is!
     
    Cheers to all! I hope to be back in the new year at some point. Be good to each other!
