very short card though :shock:

why have you got an external nic? :?
the Ethernet card?? thats for when we go and if i need to share files. then i connect 2 network cables and give out two ip's to connect to so it splits the load... (haven't used it yet but thats why its there)
Oh ok. gigabit?

not overheating its running under 60 degrees. i changed my fans around (i found a spot near the north bridge where the heat was traped) and now the heats moving out properly. you can feel the warm getting blown out the case :lol:


over time the room heats up thats what the aircon is for :wink:

update time

so heres some things i got in durbz

first up the group photo
Image

i got a few of these to make some extension cables since i always break the cables on headphones (relly has nothing to do with the mod but anyways)
Image


20X blue 5mm leds (any guesses what these are for)
Image

20X 1k resistors (i didnt feel like working out the exact value in the shop so i just opted for 1 k the leds are still very bright)
Image

now for the asus part
when i was in durban i decided to do a bios update but was a little worried since they said the new bios sorted out problems with acc (used to unlock 4th core) now if you guys remember correctly amd told all manufactures to fix the unlocking "problem". anywyas i updated the bios and this is what i saw on my first boot

Image

Image

Image

now when you disable acc the cpu returns to a x3. this is what it says

Image

anyways after the update i got about 500 more 3dmark vantage points 8) not sure where the screen shot is but ill have a look

and here is my overclocking that i did after the update

Image

Image



i really dont know why it gave me 0 here

Image

BTW gpu z for some reason doesnt show the new clocks so i had to just use the overclocking utility that ati provide..


by the looks of things i might have a small parcel coming from the uk for my mod.... im really excited about it :D :D

forgot to say comments are welcome... like always (damn going to make a shortcut key for that sentence) :lol:

hi guys small update just to show you what in store for later updates

to start off i did a bit of work on the leds a few days ago
first step the led

Image

second step led and resister

Image

third step twist the two wires together

Image

then to double check ive put the resistor on the right side

Image

Image

all the leds

Image

and this is more or less what it should look like. will be much more leds though

Image


cant wait for new supplies :D :D
