FANS & Cooling....

Hi-Undercover Ultee' Here. So Ed. won't see my MultiPosts. Yet Cooling Will Be important VICTORY Center for HOT Mains X58 will Foster.

Help, 6 SLI Slots Todays KW Machine Must Draw Power & Convert it To HEAT.
So look At Your Fins, Do have little rubber band holders or will You be on your own, $2 Fan & Wide Sealing Tape cut to size. Plug into Fan Main.WhereOn? Integrated GPU & Northbridge. Don't FUCK With Memory, especially with Fan, its' illegal in Territories.
Even Fancy, Smanchie, Oriental Eyewear memory Coolers are disimprovement. Don't ever touch memory with bare fingers for best cooling advice there.
FANS will prevent Freezeup & Smoother performance. If I Need Say, Tomorrows WINNER May be Alpha 1998 Thermal Refrigerant Machine in Design. 
Nahalem is 4 Month Window of Fairly Powerful Steps to TOP end of 3DMark'6, say 30,000, by final stepping with all those slots 48,000. Theres Got to Be Some HEAVY Cooling Involved. FANS. Small, Salvaged from Pentium, CustomFANS....
4 Channel Memory?, 16 gb or 32?, Heavy Cooling Needs in Controllers, SSD, O.k. Better for that Cooler Box. Grout, NO Place in ANY computer, You Be Judge, Lastly, Home Chemist with Glass Termometer & Pipe Stand Might Measure Metal Cooling system, is there particularly NASTY HOT Spot? FAN It, Use Trash Bag Ties or Something to secure it, even floating fan is bester.
Backend add extra OUTPUT Fan, Fancy, w/Twinkling Lights,yet nOT Too Religious.

so.....

You could've just typed "After Nehalem, there's less tweaking but we don't need them all that much anyways" instead of all that jibberish.

But then again, one sentence doesn't make a bloated article.

Shur Home Brew Cure.

If Your Lucky, Memory Ober & found that heat created in Hot spot within all gate latencies actually make gizmo go slower in lower latencies, due to:OberHeat,
Then to Love of God, Useage drops from 100% to mere mortal memory to 37%, You Know. You Know You Know You Should Never of OverClocked memory.

Yet, Time is Slow cure as Memory Changes back to Normal internally, if you where smart enough to set ober extreme nam.bers back to default. However, One Thing could Help, Say 6 months into why it seems to make No Difference, it does, its Gods way. Install O/S 2 or Just reset memory to O/S2. It works, yet Not as Well. If you install O/S2, remember to set memory parameters to O/S2 ON.That Little Tweakie Jittering helps break frozen pathways back into old parameters.
Wow. it takes years to recover better portion of lost memory useage.
Ober Marshals Prepare To Meet Thy DOOM.
All Active Pins are Two Way, Yet speed from 2 way cache should make SSD Dazzle, if in fact it ever works.
So Far, Latencies of 2.5 to 4 seem about same in performance, as total latency needs bit o'rest during someparts of Cruncher stream, slower can be better, in some parts. If Your Total Latency is 60 or even 40, Be Glad....

Its Moving from Toal Latency of 80 to 120 to Half that, where tweaking can improve performance, yet thats latency adjustment at specific latency events/ points.

BloomField on 7th? Seems it'd be smart to start Ball Rolling. i7 on 7/11'8.

Traditional ober NOW is really internal Main Makers domain & Better Boards Are FAR better. Let Designers Do Ober, save Poor trannies HeadLust of False desire.
Its Lookinjg More & More Like Sir STeWie Dunnington, Intels Developing weapon, will be Break into MultiCore & Finally maybe TWO Red Flashing Lights on Case.

The irony of loosing FSB

On the LGA775 platform memory overclocking was of little use (ok it was utterly useless) other than bragging rights and getting that last 1-2fps on top of 100 in some game. Running your memory faster than FSB gained very little. Raising your FSB did A LOT. Infact you could run your memory slower than the FSB and watch your bandwidth scale upward as you kept increasing your FSB clock. The only thing that running 1066 and 1200 did was improve absolute real time latency in nanoseconds - something you could achieve by running 333/666 fsb/mem and CAS3 latency (or 400/400/CL4) to get the same bump as 1100 CL5. Those running 400/500 fsb with matched ram see the best bandwidth.
So the fanboys go their wallets reamed by spending 3-4 times as much on high performance ram to get that last 5% boost in system performance. You could probably get 3% by overclocking budget value ram that can be thrown away if it ever burns out. Now on the A64/Phenom side, memory bandwidth and latency improved as you scaled CPU speed because the memory controller speed up. So finally, with the same thing happening with the Nehalem's integrated controller you can get the more out of your DDR3 than credit card interest charges.
In this case QPI is so damn fast and triple channels does most of the work, that average DDR3 is all you need. Once again fanboyram will get you bugger-all% improvement overall. But this comes back to the same issue as FSB: An overclocked memory controller will be the single most important influence on your memory access performance.

Recent overclocking mostly a waste

In recent years the gains from overclocking, especially when over-volting is required, have proven to be hardly worth the effort. Most of the time it's for bragging rights as many if not most systems aren't fully reliable at these overclocks and the power consumption and heat output simply dumb.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
