A ZZZAC Thread: Project ZZZAC


was in a dazed state and it was an actual toilet not a urinal :eek:
but it was cleen water as it was befeor i went and did my stuff, it seemed to jump out my pocket
its now ballenced on the back of my gpu as its the only warm place in my house :D
 
Something that's been soaked in water is now sitting on the PCB of your graphics card?

I wish I could be as smart as you :(

haha, its only needing a wam place to sit, ive dried it thoruhgly,, yet cant fuind the right torx to take it apart and dry it
meh should be fine
not like its leaking :L
Edit: taken it off and its working :)
 
Do you think you'll ever complete a build? :p

yup, i have havent i?
i am sat next to a pile of stacked parts rather than a pc, it takes about 3 attempts to boot, but after taht its fine, and it is used to dry out my phone and clothing ;)


joking, well about the cloting bit
otherwise thats about spot on
i took my whole rig to bits
but trust me as soon as im paid ive picked my motherboard and will get mobo+cpu orderd from here brand new and not make a mess of it :D
 

haha mmade my day
as for my amd based system, all that time ive just tested it with an athlon dual core, and am completely stable, so after allot of ebay falming and trying to sort it out and diagnose my system..... It was the proccesor i brough from here, thanks ocuk for a lovely 8 months of hell :confused:
 
my system has been running bdaly for 6-8 months due to a cpu and maybe a little to do with ram
unfortunatley i am here to bring bad news
the £180 sale has fallen through so im not getting paid enough for a while, and only have £200 so it looks like it will be a delayed project.
Yet today i also bring images
here we go, a strip down and rebuild ish of my current rig.

Starting to tear down my rig

After finding out about my purcahse of the i5 falling through, system running on my motherboard try

stacker in all its glory being unused in the corner as i am not bothered enough to rebuild it into this case (due to thinking i was getting paid and ordering bits and Saturday)



And my system in a temporary case due to this was going to be my second pc.
I have used a coolermaster 650watt psu, a zalaman cooler and going to have an 80gb hard drive with a gtx 280 or gtx 260 (when my wallet lets me)

sorry for the delay, if i had the money id buy it, but it looks like it will be a fortnight before i get there

WHy not just sell all your crap, then get a good rig?

WHAT DO YOU THINK IVE BEEN TRYING TO DO!
i had a sale for a old gaming rig (socket 939) for £180 fall through, and im advertising several more computers parts and other stuff, the only reason i haven't got started is due to money issues, and how i am not getting much of it!
i know its a disappointing thread, i was expecting to have been paid by now, and not to have busted out the amount of money i have on other things that i need.
Yeah, the disappointing thread has been very disappointing for me, i should have got my i5 this weekend.
 
okay, tonight selling the socket 939 rig for... £180
since ive been on a ocuk "holiday" im sure everyone is glad to here
i ordered my board from ocuk and an i5 2310 (could not afford 2500k by a long way) from a competitor
My order from ocuk has had a few issue's one of witch is although when i ordered it was marked 4 in stock, it had 0 in stock
and even when they told me it was not in stock, it was marked 2 in stock, so i can only assume 2 more people are in the same situation, but there are none in stock and no eta from the suppliers so i can only assume its not coming back to ocuk.
Meaning i either shop at a competitor witch seems viable due to the amount of problems ive had from ocuk.
Or i change my board and buy from ocuk, and i can gladly say since im getting paid i can afford a board with a z68 chip set, yet am torn over what to get compared with teh sapphire hydra, witch is insane value for money.
anyone sugest a s1155 board in the sub £135 price range, to be honest i expected to have been built by now, as i ordered on Saturday, and im very dissapointed
 
if i were you i would buy this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-364-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1990

seeing as you bought a non overclockable chip though there is no point in even wasting more money on a z68 platform. did you know you can't overclock that chip and it is also an s chip?

first of all, it is overlcokable, id prefer going z68 as it has smart cahce, and i plan on sometime maybe caching a ssd for better speeds, also has more options, and overall look better and are nicer.

S chip's are about power efficiently right?
well im not sure, and it doesn't really make much of a difference to me
isnt t meant for 45watt or lower TDP asn S for 65watt tdp?
 
2310 is efficiently a lower clock 2500 that has lower power consumption, overall i may be able to get 3.5ghz with the locked overclocking, and it will last me exactly the same time as a 2500k, as overclocking and 600mhz really is not much!

ssd cach is relatively cheep, £75 gets me a ocz vertex 3 64gb i think or there abouts, i can now afford a 2500k and this is only a future situation, as i do not want to spend all my money on a build at once, i prefer to buy clothes and other luxury's rather than just computers.
 
Return the crap chip, wait and get a 2500k.

Just build slowly if you cant afford it otherwise your just gonna end up with another crap rig.

"return the crap chip"
tbh there's not much difference between the chips, and i will not see much performance changes
 
Once again you ignore advice and waste money on a chip you think you can overclock.

i dont think i can clock it much
stop treating me like i have no knowledge, I am building fixing or selling a computer now on the average of every other day.
I can over-clock the chip via the fsb, yet im probably not going to.
That is because my own phenom is a terrible and overall faulty chip, due to buying it on b grade and no realising the old used most of over-volted it something stupid.
Do not think im ignore advice, i was advised to go intel sandybridge, and i have,
you want to know how much i paid for my i5 2310 that was on offer?
£85
Knowingly that i would not get all that much performance for the extra £90, the £90 that i didnt have
Generally to counter act the "don't rush the build" i was rushed by people on here saying how my thread was so disappointing.ect when my first purchase fell through.
 
then why are you creating an "enthusiast" build at all? you could get an old core2duo, 4gb of ram + basic gpu machine all fine and itd take care of web browsing, documents and the occasional game.

The point is that the very platform that takes sandybridge costs a lot of money, so you may as well shell out the extra notes and get a processor worth its salt.

Sorry if it sounds harsh, but it's meant as genuine advice. i always used to compromise and get the worse option becuase i "wanted it now" and i always regretted it and ended up selling/changing later on. Ignore people saying hurry up, just take your time, and do it right.

Its your build after all.

Oh come on, for the price of £85 im not missing much, especaily as i dont want to oc as my system is brikced and it puts more stress on everything!
 
Well if he can make something out of his room then I'm subscribed :)


rofl
being a teenager
being a lazy teenager
having to share a room with a brother
working on computers a hell of allot
and well, generealyl not very tidy doesnt help
=very messy room
anyway, has to be said im not missing out on much with my i5
 
"crap chip" arrived today
In a moment ill cancel my sapphire order, and order a different board for monday.
but ill keep the choice a surprise
 
Why don't you cancel the order? Just send them a webnote?

pay'd with paypal, so they need my mums card details to refund us for an order reason
im writing my mum a nice not so hopefully when she gets back from b&q she will cancel it while im out
and i will then order sat evening probably after 4pm so it wont get to me until Tuesday, and that's if i pay for next day shipping.
 
okay, piccy's of the cpu taken with my mega pixel digital camera
