    Id prolly on run that for benching anyways
    Would those be too high for everyday ?
    1.7/1.75 is ok, its when you start going closer to 2v then you will be running a risk of frying/harming your components.

    Well, the summer heat is definitely making things uncomfortable in my 'geek room'... But it's ok - room temp is stable around 30-32C in the afternoon when the sun is shinning directly. I guess the big test is going to be tomorrow, when temperature is predicted to go as high as 37C!

    10x200 backed off to 9x200, just to keep the heat down

    I daren't install any more fans in my rig, Il have no hearing left.

    Ahh that Prometia seems more tempting everyday..

    On side note : Keep the summer, 37c is something to annoy people you know who are on holiday abroad with

    air con seems like a plausible alternative to vapochill tbh @ around £170 inc from B&Q ... it's just that summer doesn't really last too long in this country to justify it ...

    ... hmm maybe it's a sign:

    GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GO PLAY OUTSIDE IN THE SUN !!!

    /me takes advice and wanders down to the pub for a cold b33r (after work argh !)
