Posted October 9, 2014 Car audio is by far where my dodgiest work has ever been... I had 2 Power Acoustik MoFo's with a BAMF amp along with them... I could have spent a total of a hour making sure my ground was secure, instead about once ever 2-3 months I went and had to tighten it down and shave some paint off... lol I miss my Caddy... Yeah my whole head unit cabling is just twist n taped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 9, 2014 Probably helping my IT teacher build a water-cooled build with two separate loops on top of a really expensive floor, also the build was board mounted and we were repeatedly draining and re-filling the loop.

Posted October 10, 2014 I had a Radeon x1550 that was on it's last leg and I thought it would be funny to pull off the heatsink while it was running. The current draw from that thing was enough to blow out my PCI-e lane. I tested it again with a newer x1550, but this time I was monitoring the current, and it peaked at 175 amps. Also I am experimenting with Silly Putty as thermal paste. With modifications it's not too bad. *Risky click of the day* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 10, 2014 This is currently under my bed. Not even close to as dodgy as some of you folks though... it's only dodgy if you draw too much power and it looks like you're fine i wanted to try and "blow up" an older tx 750 corsair powersupply by feeding its own power back into it, it survived longer then i expected and how did you do that? https://pcpartpicker.com/b/VNNNnQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 10, 2014 Retro fitted my air compressor to use an electric motor so it was quiet when I turned it on and now low how it use to be.

Posted October 12, 2014 Powered USB hub -> Another USB hub -> USB cardreader -> SD to Mini-SD adapter -> Mini-SD to MicroSD adapter -> MicroSD card. Seriously, thats what i was using for copying stuff to and from my camera. 3 years ago, I was using some 10 year old computer (ten years ago from then) as my daily driver. It had no rear USB and like 1 or 2 front USB ports, and I think it might have even been USB 1.1. Part of the Q6600 club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
