Firstly I am new to these forums and not a spammer(Although it was assumed when i tried to use my usual 3 letter username "MuG").
Hello my fellow techies,
Looking at completing my new build in the coming weeks. When payday hits anyway :)
Was originally planning on socket 2011 build but it's still too rich for my blood at the moment.
>> My current setup:
Asus Rampage Formula 775
4GB Corsair Dominator 1066 DDR2
Intel Q6600 B3 @ 3.0GHz
Running sweet, 25-30 idle, 55-60 load with below cooling.
Thermalright Ultra 120
With one of these installed
Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000
Asus Xonar DS PCI
The above served happily for many a year paired with a 4870 1GB and 2* 500GB samsung F3 Intel SW raid.
>> Recent additions, that will stay with the build
Coolermaster HAF X
2* 2GB MSI HD Radeon 6950 Twin Frozr
I have a 3rd one still awaiting installation as I don't have sufficient PCI-E on this board.
Got a damn good deal on them, I'm not completely mental :P
Crucial M4 256GB
(Currently running at SATA2 speeds on intel controller)
23.5" Dell U2311H @ 1920*1080
Looking at possiblity of going eyefinity at a later date.
Maybe with 2 ~20" for the side views, tough to get monitors that will match the aspect ratio correctly. 2 More U2311Hs would be expensive. Thoughts on this?
>> Now the new stuff
Planning to get the following:
Intel Core i7 2600K
Corsair H80 Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
Liking this but not the high noise, Not too keen on shelling out cash for new fans for it either. Thoughts?
Note: A proper watercooling setup might be too much maintenance for lazy old me.
Be Quiet Dark Rock PRO BK016 CPU Cooler
Maybe this if sticking with air cooling?
MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3) Intel Z68 Socket 1155 Motherboard
Pretty set on this board from reading reviews and the PCI 3.0 support, military grade components and overall build quality of the board.
However open to suggestions on other sufficient solutions to install my 3*6950 CF + SSD @ rated speed.
Corsair Memory Dominator GT 8GB DDR3 2133 Mhz CAS 9 XMP DHX Dual Channel Desktop
Very open to suggestions on this, My experience with Corsair memory so far is a good one but I'm sure other vendors offer similar.
Antec HGC-900 High Current Gamer 900W Power Supply (PSU)
Something like should be sufficient, just picked this one as Antec PSUs have been flawless for me so far.
Be-Quiet look to be pretty top these days, Thoughts?
Asus Xonar D2X
Asus Xonar DX
Again open to suggestions on this, Would prefer to avoid creative as I've just had too much grief with their drivers over the years.
>> Some info that I think is relevant.
* Budget is not a factor at the moment will adapt as need be.
* I work in IT support so I'm fairly competant at troubleshooting.
* I'm a novice overclocker looking to delve a bit deeper.
* The purpose of my computer is primarily gameing (Who'dve guessed eh :P)
* I run my comp ~16 hours a day
Sorry for the very longwinded post, I figured better too much detail than too little.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated, Any more info needed let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Are you planning to overclock the snot out of it? 'cause if not, you're spending a lot of money on components you don't need (DDR3-2133, Corsair H80, etc.)
Even for fairly aggressive overclocks, most aren't hammering the memory speeds past what most DDR3-1600 or DDR3-1866 will do. The Corsair H80 with stock fans is not worth the noise; high-end air-cooling such as the Thermalright Archon does better with lower noise. Xbitlabs, SilentPCReview, etc. all do excellent heatsink reviews which confirm these findings in detail. Now if you do want to use the Corsair H80 or similar, swapping the fans dramatically improves their performance/noise ratio and makes them worth considering. But with stock fans? I wouldn't touch one with a 10' pole. With three cards in Crossfire and with a cooling layout on the cards that recirculates (rather than exhausting) air, I would be very concerned about overheating the cards that have fans blocked by adjacent cards... PSU, check Xbitlabs for power consumption of individual cards, you'll want to run the numbers. 900W oughta be plenty but again, RUN THE NUMBERS. If you're OCing the snot out of the CPU you can increase CPU power consumption by a factor of 3x pretty easily and combined with three 6950s might be a little close. But again, RUN THE NUMBERS. be-Quiet isn't a major PSU vendor in the USA so I have little experience with them aside from what Jonnyguru, SilentPCReview, and Anandtech have tested. We normally stick to Seasonic for high-end consumer PSUs. |
Hi continuum,
I do plan to overclock quite a bit in the future. So looking to put some pretty extreme cooling in place. Also I like to have piece of mind that my machine won't die a death in summer :) Thanks for the heads up on the H80, I will look into some good fans for it Perhaps some Sharkoon Gentle Typhoons. I will look into the Archon as I absolutely love the Ultra 120 from Thermalright that I'm using now. Regarding the 3 cards, I think with the board I have chosen they should be quite well spaced. http://img.hexus.net/v2/hugoj/2011/07/m ... _large.jpg The middle card looks like it might suffocate a bit but the custom coolers on the cards are pretty good. Much lower temps than with stock cooling. Also why I'm looking to use water solution for cpu, to keep overall case temps down. There is also a 200mm fan right beside them in the case pushing in cold air to them. The psu draws air from vents underneath so wont be blowing hot air up into them. I will do some further research on just how much power I will need, Especially the 12v rails are gonna get hammered. I will have a look through the reviews on Xbitlabs. Hadn't thought of Seasonic will have a look at some reviews. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. |
Does the HAF-X accommodate that last "slot" you'll need open for your third video card's output ports? That'll be key otherwise it won't fit. Also, you'll have an extra slot between cards 1 and 2, but not between 2 and 3. As long as you have cooling that will expel the hot air from the case, you should be OK, otherwise they'll just be cooking in there with the 200mm blowing more air than what's being exhausted. Not sure who 'B-Quiet' is - never heard of them. Wouldn't go with a no-name PSU brand.
As for the monitor choice...doesn't make sense to me, to be blunt. Why are you going with a small IPS monitor for a triple video card gaming rig? If you're not using portrait or doing color-matching sensitive work, there's no shame in going with a good TN panel. And if you are going Eyefinity, you will need three monitors that have identical resolution and orientation. I'd get three 24" Asus TN panels (especially if you can handle glossy, as it really helps colors pop) or one 27" IPS. |
If this is for gaming you should "drop down" to a 2500k. Same performance, cooler running chip. Only stuff like encoding will benefit from hyperthreading.
Get cheap 1600 1.5v RAM. Above that speed you will not get any improvement with Sandy Bridge. |
Quote: The middle card looks like it might suffocate a bit Asus custom coolers get caught in the CrossFire - TechreportNot the same card or same chip, but same type of cooler-- I would be very concerned-- those "very good" non-reference recirculating coolers work great until they get blocked, and then things go totally off the rails. I would keep a sharp eye on temps Rest of the comments made by others are all pretty good. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory ... -ddr3.html Looks like your gains with DDR3 faster than typical DDR3-1600 are pretty minimal, but if you want faster... DDR3-1866 sounds reasonable. Not sure on DDR3-2133. |
Avoid those watercooling kits Corsair and others sell. The best air coolers are simpler, more reliable, perform better, are more quiet and cost less.
3x6950s? Go with something else. 2 x AMD cards is already hit or miss because of Crossfire compared to SLI, 3 not only worsens that, BUT then you get the bad scaling with 3 where that 3rd barely makes a difference. Plus your monitor is too low of resolution to make a difference. edit: just saw you already have them... I'd go with a Seasonic X-series. the 650W is probably enough (it's enough for SLI'd 580s and an OC'd 2600K), but they have 750 and 850 models if you want some added head room. I'd also question the need for a discrete sound card. I don't know your situation, but addon cards for sound typically only makes sense when you're trying to eek every bit of sound quality out of your computer and your headphones/speakers aren't already the weakest link. Using digital out of the motherboard would give you the best quality, but would require a receiver or some other form of DAC. I'd also go with some standard GSKill RAM. |
The MSI boards are nice. I echo the GSkill RAM rec, cheap and good, reasonable support/RMA. Get 1.5V 1600MHz and be done.
You could just test onboard sound first and order a dedicated card if you don't like onboard. Personally I have had zero problems with the X-Fi xtrememusic but the Xonar sure looks neat. 6950x3? Get a single 7970 or wait for the 7950. Those new cards are powerful and I'd not invest into a 2x or 3x 69xx setup right now. Also if you dump that much money, I don't know why you wouldn't default to the 2600K, just to have the HT in case you ever need it. Maybe crazy sounding but you never know. Want to stream your games online? HT is a great help there, just a weird example. Crucial M4 has some new (and I don't know that it's solved yet) firmware issue. May not be enough to damn it, but I will still blindly rec the Intel 320 for reliability over speed. |

Want to stream your games online? HT is a great help there, just a weird example. It's $90 more, money better spend on a bigger SSD, for example. Which he is more bound to need. Or a nicer screen. Or, crazy idea here, games to play Hyperthreading on an already fast quad core is one of those things that by the time you might start taking advantage of, the CPU is most likely going to be obsolete and in need of replacing anyways. Until then, it will be a useless feature that will add more heat to his case. I own a 2600k which was given to me by a friend at Intel, I've disabled and enabled HT to see if I could find any difference in anything. The difference was that with HT disabled I could overclock with less voltage. Enabled, absolutely no speed difference in any game, some incompatibilities in some older flight sims which made them run like shit. The only advantage was reencoding a DIVX movie to iPad format, which completed maybe a minute or two faster I honestly believe the money is better spent on a bigger SSD or better video card. Agreed on everything else you said. |
Mannymal wrote: (2600K)[...]I honestly believe the money is better spent on a bigger SSD or better video card. Yeah, I'm not even attempting at making a strong case. I will say that if you encode a lot, HT really is nice because it lets me play games while I encode without slowing either down noticeably. And well, he said money isn't really an issue. But as you (and others) have correctly stated, for most cases including just playing games, the 2500K is plenty. |
Hi Guys, thanks for all the feedback. Sorry for the delayed response, been a crazy busy week in work.
@Matrices Just checked the spacing and the cards will fit, just. 2slots for gpu 1, space, 2 for gpu2, 2 for gpu3. The third card will be sitting close to the cover over the PSU. Thinking I may isntall another fan inline with the front intake to tunnel more air underneath them if needed. I already have the U2311H and I'm seriously happy with the quality and performance of it. I may just grab 2 more of them down the line if my wallet will let me :) My previous Samsung TN 24" died so had to be done. @Mannymal Seems to be a common recomendation to drop to the 2500k, I will be doing a lot of recording of games, So was thinking could offload the recording tasks to the unused cores and record to a seperate HD. @continuum Will defo keep a sharp eye on the temps and feed them more cool air accordingly. Will consider a good set of 1600 Ram. Thoughts on these Vengeance sticks? @eluder The 3 card scaling. I've read some reports saying 3 scales better than 2. It will need some thorough testing to see if it's worth it. I will just sell off the 3rd card if not worth the trouble. @hansmuff The MSI board had my eye with the HQ caps on the board and 5 year warranty I will test the onboard sound for a bit and grab the Xonar if needed a month down the line. The 3 GPUs I already have, got em for a good -vat price so not too bothered, if 3 becomes an issue I will remove the 3rd and sell it. Also a plus on these 6950s Is I can flash them to 6970s :) I think I will prob stick with the i7 2600k or else grab a 2500k for now then put in an Ivy bridge in 6 months or so. Defo looking to stream/record at full res so that extra grunt will get used. I also use vmware workstation at times so thats pretty taxing on the cpu/memory. Already have the M4. Seems happy enough, looking forward to seeing what speeds I can get out of it with proper Sata3 ports. I used a PCI-E card briefly which had some good speeds, but due to the Marvel controller not supporting trim had to ditch it. The intel SSDs seem to be the bees knees but a lot more expensive. @Mannymal A bigger ssd than 256GB. Probably worth noting that I also have 2 Samsung F3 500GBs in raid for other games. I install steam on this disk and then use junctions to put the most IO intensive games onto the SSD which houses my windows and BF3. Thanks again for all the input guys. I guess my main remaining questions is: Where is the strain going to be mostly when gaming and recording @ full res with fraps or similar? Personal experience and linkage welcome. |
mugsir wrote: @hansmuff Defo looking to stream/record at full res so that extra grunt will get used. I also use vmware workstation at times so thats pretty taxing on the cpu/memory. I can load a 2600K's 8 threads @4.4GHz by streaming games at 720p 30fps, even if the games use just 2 threads (like starcraft 2), in a well optimized setup (DXtory and FMLE.) So if that's something you want to do, 2600K or ivy bridge is what you should indeed shoot for. Not saying a 2500k could not do it, but with lower fps/stream quality/settings. If you record locally, the stress depends on how/when you encode. If you record raw frames, all stress is on disk I/O initially, and the encoding takes place later and matters less (since you can just wait before uploading.) If you encode on the fly (which for streaming you have to) then the CPU gets really loaded for encoding. Anecdote: A friend of mine who tried streaming sc2 games with a Q9550 CPU (core 2 arch, 4 cores) can simply not do it. His CPU is more than enough for the game, but it fails to even stream at 240p 30fps because the CPU simply can not handle it. Hence my statement that for the purpose, you really need CPU horsepower. Same software environment, and we tried optimizing the snot out of encoding. The best we could do was 20fps 360p, which sucks, and it kept dropping frames even then. |
That H80 is great, but the fans do suck. I've got an H60 with 2xLogisys SF120s on my 2600k. It's OCd to 4.9 and never goes over 56c. And that's full bore under a stress test.
Quote: Will defo keep a sharp eye on the temps and feed them more cool air accordingly. Should be ok.

Hi Guys,
Cheers for the info on streaming/recording hansmuff. I won't be streaming much but recording lots, so a dedicated disk for that should sort it out. From the recently acquired knowledge of the impending release of the S2011 i7-3820 I've decided to change my build to S2011 pending the affordable quadcore i7-3820 and have changed the title of the thread accordingly CPU The 3 reviews I've found of this chip are here @ Toms Hardware Hot Hardware [url="http://pcper.com/reviews/Processors/Intel-Core-i7-3820-Processor-Review-Quad-Core-Sandy-Bridge-E-under-300/Closing-Th"]PCper[/url] Only note I've found about the Release date Looking like February 13th Thoughts on this chip? The stock clocks? Limited overclock ability(which should be plenty for my needs for now) Anyone got any insight into a solid release date for this chip? From what I hear it's looking like mid February(13th, not confirmed). Which will give me a bit of extra time to research getting this beast right. RAM The decision is now, 16GB or 32GB of ram and what speed? Pretty crazy money again for the 32GB ram kits at higher speeds 32GB of 1866MHz is a mental price of ~£500 But a set of 1600 is a little more fair @ ~£250 Some nice vids regarding Asus' take on ssd caching and ram disks My reasoning for looking at 32GB of ram is for the possibility to have a 16GB ram disk to run games that are just getting bigger and bigger. Would I be better off with just ssd caching or a ram disk setup? It seems both is also possible but might be overkill MOBO Choices: ASUS P9X79 Deluxe ASRock X79 Extreme9 5-Way Intel X79 Mobo Shootout Any other vendors offering ssd caching tech? From the vids linked above it seems that the chipset does not support it natively Any and all thoughts are appreciated. |
a RAM disk for games is asinine, just get 8GB and some SSD's
Wudan Master wrote: a RAM disk for games is asinine, just get 8GB and some SSD's Much agreed, just let Windows use the RAM you have for caching. 16GB is cheap and complete overkill already unless you run very memory intensive applications; games get nowhere close to utilizing 8GB. >90% of games are still 32-bit utilizing no more than 2GB RAM total. A SSD however is more than worth the money, it's a true enhancement. |
I you need 32GB then 2 quad packs of Vengeance at 9-9-9-24 will come in £100 cheaper. 16GB will be naturally cheaper again...
The X79 Deluxe offers little over the X79 Pro for £50 or so extra. |
To those recommending I get an ssd, I already have a 240GB crucial M4, Looking to split the ram up as follows.
8GB ram cache for the SSD. 8GB system memory 16GB ram disk. Wudan, Why is a ram disk for games foolish? Please back your rather brash comment with some actual reason. A temp disk I might add, copied, then junctioned to the ram disk. So I will not lose my game install if I lose power/crash. A lot of cash for little noticeable improvement ingame maybe but as in stated in the OP budget is not a factor, I am planning the build purely for performance. I will weigh up the pros, cons and cost of it all when finalizing. Cheers magic man, I will check out the X79 Pro. The worry I have with the 8 Dimms vs 4 is the limited OC potential down the road. Maybe not such a factor with this chipset. Anyone got any insight on this scenario? |

So I will not lose my game install if I lose power/crash. A lot of cash for little noticeable improvement ingame In-game you will have zero improvement compared to SSD. Just none. The limits are CPU and GPU. Load times from SSD are already essentially not noticeable. The most time loading is spent by the CPU processing level data and setting up the game world when you load from SSD. You'd have to copy stuff over to the ram disk, then you have to make sure that for any games that save data (or download assets!), and don't put it in your profile (on your boot drive) you have to copy that data back to SSD/HDD after your game session. It's inconvenient and does not provide any benefits whatsoever. I mean I can actually test this. I load a game from my SSD and start the level, then exit and start again. I have 16GB RAM so Windows will have the game data cached in my main memory. That cache is essentially a nicely managed, dynamically sized Ramdisk. You should know that Windows will use all available "spare" (for the sake of simplicity) memory for caching if you process enough data. It's pretty fantastic. I see no benefits, only disadvantages in removing a very well working caching subsystem and instead using a static setup you have to manage yourself. By all means get all the memory you can dream of, I don't think anyone is judging you for it, but just let Windows handle caching and such. You already have an SSD, you're good to go. |

It's inconvenient and does not provide any benefits whatsoever. . Add to this that modern Windows (and other OSes) will use just about every byte of unused RAM you have as a filesystem cache and all you're really doing is telling Windows, "Here's 8GB you can't use to cache things, because it's busy being my RAM disk." Effectively, instead of simply letting the OS handle the first copy into RAM when he loads stuff the first time, he's doing that copy himself, and waiting 'til its done before he can play the game. And adding management overhead to the problem instead of simply letting the machine handle what the machine is good at. And after that, he's got to hope every game he wants to play fits into the RAM disk, where letting the OS take care of it means that even if they start shipping games on 50 gigabyte Blu-rays, it still caches the parts you're actually using often using all the free RAM. There're uses for RAMdisks, sure, but this simply doesn't seem to be one of them. |
Hi guys, thank you for the explanation and reasoning behind this. Anyone got a good link explaining how windows utilizes this available "spare" ram for cache? So I can understand it better. Is there a monitoring tool I can view the usage in?
Thoughts on using a ram-cache for the ssd? The figures quoted in this vid are pretty extreme. If not for game loads, then just for an ultra snappy responsive system overall? |
mugsir wrote: Hi guys, thank you for the explanation and reasoning behind this. Anyone got a good link explaining how windows utilizes this available "spare" ram for cache? So I can understand it better. Is there a monitoring tool I can view the usage in? The Windows Task Manager shows you "Cached" as an indicator of how much memory is being used to cache files. The amount is dynamic and depends on your system activity. mugsir wrote: Thoughts on using a ram-cache for the ssd? The figures quoted in this vid are pretty extreme. If not for game loads, then just for an ultra snappy responsive system overall? He's talking about SSD caching. That means something else than you might think: an SSD is used not to hold your files, but to be a buffer between the hard disk drive and your main memory. Just like the Windows memory cache will keep things in RAM so they don't have to be loaded from (any) disk again after they were first loaded, the SSD cache will write files to the SSD as they are loaded from the hard disk. Then if the same file is requested later, the system loads it from the SSD instead of the hard disk. So in that scenario, once a file has been loaded from the hard disk, it's put on the SSD and also held in the Windows memory cache, if enough RAM is available. If the file gets requested again, the Windows memory cache will serve it. If it's not there, the SSD will serve it. If it's not on the SSD either, it will be read from the hard disk. If you're interested in SSD caching, read the plethora of articles about Intel's SRT on the Z68 chipset, where this is implemented and where it gathered momentum. The Asus method is very similar, but proprietary to them. |
Ah ok I understand the cache better now, Thanks Hans
It does not get flagged as memory consumed, which is where I was confused, makes sense now. So pretty much anything that has been loaded recently is still in cache unless it gets overwritten by a system process requiring that memory. Can you allocate a certain section of your memory to be primary cache? Example: 8GB ram in system Defaultly windows would cache a file right after all the system memory in use. say 1.5 in use by OS + user processes, 1.5-4.0 is cache. I open a program that needs more memory, lets say 1GB for ease, the files that were cached in that space (1.5-2.5) cached previously gets overwritten. So is it possible to set the default cache area to be 4.0-8.0 to minimize wasted caching that will be overwritten shortly after? Or is there some kind of smart algorithm of where to cache to allow for expansion of processes without killing usable cached data? Hope that makes sense, difficult to form into a question :) Regarding the ram caching, apologies I linked the wrong vid. he talks about ram cache for ssd in this vid @ 4:45. The jump in reads is insane (Almost 10x). Would beat raid ssd configs in most cases no? More cost friendly too in some respects. |

Would beat raid ssd configs in most cases no? More cost friendly too in some respects. He is benchmarking HDD versus SSD versus RAM disk. Of course the RAM disk will win, there is no faster way for data to get to the CPU than a RAM disk. I've never contested it, it's undeniable. But what you need to think about is application. A RAM disk is something you have to manage, and the performance benefits compared to an SSD are just not there. I made the case for that above. To summarize, RAM disks are extremely fast, but a pain in the ass to manage. The performance benefit in real scenarios (this guy just uses benchmarks) is negligible. If you want a really high performance setup, just have a shitload of RAM so Windows caches everything after first read from SSD. It's faster than anything you can take advantage of. I actually say that getting 16GB RAM today is a crazy amount, but cheap and gives you a nice, huge cache system. That coupled with an SSD gives you a system you will never wait for in terms of disk I/O. It is what I did and I'm very, very happy with it. Really, you don't want to have a setup that just benchmarks well, you want a setup that wows you. And managing a RAM disk isn't going to wow you. Having SSD+gobs of RAM and utilizing the Windows cache system, that will wow the hell out of you |
Listen carefully in the vid @4:47at
4:48-4:55 "So we're gonna take a look at what does the system look like when it's utilizing thatt ssd, we actually take advantage of an 8GB ram cache" 5:20 "Same ssd but with an 8GB ram cache" I'm sure it will be hard to tweak the cache to get this kind of performance, but the figures are still quite astonishing |

SB-E chips don't OC as easy as SB chips do, and they suck more power/are harder to cool down. If you look at here, you can see that the 2700k is the strongest gaming chip. http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/di ... html#sect0 Shoot for a 2700K with an AsRock Extreme7/P67 WS Revo to Tri-Fire on. |
Thanks Johnny.
Looking like reverting to the z68 build alright. The 2700k and Extreme7 seems all good for my needs. Extra cores will work offloading recording/streaming games and running VMs. The NF200 chipset seems beneficial in most respects. Might just drop the 3rd card altogether. the benches here show some pretty bad results. Seems the 79xx range has got it pretty right with a 3x config though. Doh! The quad-channel ram still has me tempted though, despite the better results from the SB boards/cpus. Pity there is still no official release date for the 3820. |
mugsir wrote: The quad-channel ram still has me tempted though, despite the better results from the SB boards/cpus. Pity there is still no official release date for the 3820. I was thinking the same thing about quad channel RAM until I saw the Socket2011 benchmarks. Sure, in a few scenarios, that bandwidth is nice. But it comes at a cost in latency, and the bandwidth is rarely used. In games, the lower latency is simply better. In the end I would buy the same 2600K rig today that I bought almost a year ago. |
Ah ok, thanks for the input. Good point about the latency cost. I guess quad channel needs some time to mature.
No, that's only half the equation... specific applications that need the bandwidth are also part of it.
Your picks are very similar to my thinking but I am leaning towards making my life easier and my desk/floor less cluttered and buying another shuttle barebones. I went ahead and picked up the 256GB Crucial SSD because there is a $104 instant rebate for it ($295 instead of $399) on Newegg and Amazon.
SZ68R5 is their z68 chipset offering with an 1155 slot. They have two 1366 offerings on X58 chipset but there are not that many 1366 processor offerings and it has already been superspeded by slot 2011, which also lacks for affordable chip offerings as well as only having $400 motherboards. http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/SZ68R5.html |

In addition to Bonds, two other controversial figures from baseball's so-called "steroids era" are new to the Hall of Fame ballot: pitcher Roger Clemens and slugger Sammy Sosa.
Other candidates who might have a better chance of induction include Craig Biggio, Curt Schilling, Jack Morris and Jeff Bagwell.

Damn... Hammy?? is that you?? (well I don't know you well enough to ask, but then again I don't know anyone well here, so it's about the same) never knew people on Motifake will have such a deep side to them if the mood deceives them.
Very nice story, felt it applies to a few people... although names now escape me :/
Anyway, how can you keep the status at a rank?? you have an option to do that??

I have searched the forum for any mention of my problem but have not seen any like it.
The PS3 I have is on its 4th YLOD repair. I purchased some extra copper shims to go on the CPU and GPU (both thermal pasted) and applied flux to them also.
Now when I turn on the PS3 it turns on like normal, with the Green light, then Blue, then a beep, another blue light then another beep and turns off to the solid red light.
NOT 3 beeps, but 2
Not a YLOD
Not a FLASHING red light but a solid one, just as if it has been turned off.
I have unseated the HDD, taken it apart and rebuilt it again (it didn't recieve power at first, then I got it to turn onto its current problem)
Does anyone have any idea what this problem is? I havn't seen it listed anywhere

Hi there,
If your console has been opened up, and not by the authorised repair centre, then it may be exhibiting symptoms that are not recognised as normal symptoms.
What you are describing is something I've personally never heard of with a PS3 console.

Satisfied 9 Year Old
By Auntie Renee
from Kennewick, WA
About Me Aunt, First Time Parent
See all my reviews
Comments about LEGO Star Wars Republic Striker-Class Starfighter (9497):
I purchased this set for my nephew's 9th birthday and upon opening the present all I heard were screams of excitement. My nephew is obsessed with legos and building and this particular set he has never seen before. He stoped opening presents and attempting to open the package to begin playing with it immediately. If you want to be the coolest aunt or uncle on the block, you should get this for a gift. The set is rather expensive; however, the reaction made it totally worth the money.

Combine With Republic&Sith Battle Pack 4 Epicness!
By hfjhjsjahdirwncns13088593
from New Baltimore
The Republic Starfighter is sick! Buy this and Republic and Sith troopers battle pack for $60 and you have yourself an Old Republic battle for Alderaan. If you have $90 more you could buy the Sith Interceptor with this but I do not have it but I have this set and the battle pack. Just giving fellow fans a good idea. :)

By EarthNinja5000
from Crawfordville
first off, I am a huge fan of the old republic so that makes this set a lot cooler! Yeah, this set will be a lot more fun if you know more about the old republic. (the old republic takes place before star wars episode 1) But anyway...I wish this set maybe came with a bad guy but you can get some in that battle pack :) I wish this set had a place for the droid but oh well. I love how the wings fold in and out. The clips for the wings were a good extra touch. Ok, on to the minifigs! Satele Shan: Comes with a double light saber. She comes with brown hair but i put on black. She needs purple lips not red. And she needs Some more grey on the arms. But overall, she is cool! She is my most favorite jedi. Republic Trooper (Jace Malcom): I really like this guy! no flaws to him accept no helmet or shoulder pauldron. His weapon is really cool! I think it looks more like that missile launcher he uses in the second video game trailer. His head is really accurate. Good body printing so this guy is sweet! "We must fight, to victory or death! FOR THE REPUBLIC! T7-01: This little astromech droid is cool! I love how you get to build him! He is really fun. I like how he has a wheel on the back oh him too! Well, This set was worth the money, and I am glad i got it! THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW! May the force be with you!

Great Set!
By tbogost
from Atlanta
This is one of my very favorite Lego sets. It's fun to build and fun to play with, so it's a great gift for a kid or for a Lego builder/collector. The way that the wings can either attach to the side of the plane, or be unfolded when its in flight mode is really creative. This set also has 3 amazing and never seen before minifigures. There is a Jedi with a cool double-blade lightsaber, a clone with a buildable heavy machine gun, and a droid that you actually get to build! No more 3-piece droids! The only thing that I don't like about this set is that only one minifigure can go in the spaceship at a time, and there isn't even a space on the top of the ship for the droid to go. This set is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks for reading!

By raptordevil
from Dayton
This set is a great set you get a Jedi with a double sided lightsaber and an old republic trooper with a good gun and great detail. The droid is a new type of droid that looks great. The wings fold in and out and so do the guns it has flick fire missiles and a spot to put the lightsaber.

Pros & Cons
By Boggler
from Undisclosed
Pros - The two different wing configurations make this set interesting & fun - The set looks great from most angles in both wing configurations (not particularly from the bottom, but not bad). - The use of the clips to hold the wings in place is simple - simply brilliant - why have I not thought of this before? I will be incorporating this into my own models that transform and need functionality - Minifigs are cool - The set is easy to play with Cons - Cant put the droid in the ship - I ate too many Christmas cookies while building it... This is a relatively easy build with a a clever technique with the wings that will be easy to incorporate into your own creations. For Displayers/collectors: 4+ For Builders/players: 5 Hope this helps!

my favorite ship
By chickenwhisperer
from sweeny
this set has three mini figs we have never got before and i love the droid that it has a back wheel and that and has more pzs than the average min fig now to the ship it had four flick missiles they are easy to fire because they are pushed out with a pole instead of flicking them when i got this set i was not sure if the wing folding would work the way i thought but they work great they fold nice and easy and than can pop right back out for flight mode and what i don't like is that trooper did not come with a helmet but what are you gona do this is a great set i highly recommend it

I use genetic analysis to investigate the genes involved in cell-fate decisions during development in the soil nematode C. elegans. Her research involves understanding the development of the gonadal sheath, a tissue made up of five pairs of cells surrounding the proximal half of each gonadal arm, which is required for gametogenesis, spermatogenesis, meiotic progression, and ovulation. Currently, her studies focus on the identification and characterization of the genes required to specify the cell fate of the gonadal sheath cells using RNAi and also on the role of the LIM-homeodomain transcription factor, LIM-7, in the gonadal sheath cells.

I think Jenga is pretty fun anyway, but turning it into a drinking game for your adult summer get-together just makes it that much better. I compiled my favorite "blocks" into one document for you to download and print for free. Just use a fine-point sharpie to write the name of each rule on your Jenga block before you start the game. Keep your printed list by the table if you forget what each rule denotes! Have fun!*
*I feel like I should say, "drink responsibly" or something…so, please drink responsibly.

Great, friendly service good prices......lots of seating inside if its raining and plenty of picnic tables for outside when the weather is good, close to everything....
The choice of hot dogs was amazing and you can see why other reviewers really rate this place. You really need to try and eat here as the quality and service is very good. We would recommend the pulled pork sliders and fries.
...certainly lacking in a friendly face at the counter. Must have been her bad day because she was unable or unwilling to say anything more than the minimum requirements of her job.

Great lunch or snack spot close to pier in Ucluelet. We visited for a hot dog lunch which was great. Their hot dog selection is remarkable and they have other menu selection as well. Service is quick easy and the location is close to the pier for easy access.

Sporting the C-Lite 2.0s for the first time at the New Year's Half Marathon |
Slight tear on the side of the shoes on the big toe side - both shoes. |
Sporting the C-Lite 2.0s for the first time at the New Year's Half Marathon |
Slight tear on the side of the shoes on the big toe side - both shoes. |
Have you tried the Skylite Tim? Is it the same shoe with a slightly less aggressive lug pattern?
The ankle Hoka thing is weird. I still have bruises from mine from last year. Otherwise they're great shoes...just need some work on the uppers (the new Stinson Evo looks like they may have improved this).
The Vertical K looks like it means business. I look forward to your review of it.
Hey Darren.
Yeah, the skylite is very similar, just lighter on the cushioning and lugs, as you pointed out. Knowing what you normally wear, I think you'd like the skylite a lot. I can't wait to wear the vertical k. Even if it's not what I hope for, I have the c-lite to fall back on. Love that shoe!
Wear the CL2 long enough and that tear at the flex point of the forefoot will got all the way through to the second layer. Personally, I consider any shoe that has those tears in them after less than 100 miles to be poor design quality in the fabric selection. Obviously, it's not an isolated issue as this has been reported by many others on the net. My hypothesis is that thin layer of rubber that is adhered to the sides (removing this would take care of the problem IMHO) of the shoe behind the toe bumper is causing undue wear on the shoe fabric. I'm on my 3rd pair and they've all done this. Thankfully, I've only had to purchase one of those. And, LS was kind enough to send me a replacement pair after the first pair developed those tears. Other than that, they are the best trail shoe I've ever worn and the pair I currently use will be used until the nubs are worn off. But, I'm hesitant to use the CL2 in a 100m. I fall back to the Fireblades for those (but even those eventually get that same tear, but after 500+ miles).

The gunman killed Poland, then grabbed a kindergartner before barricading himself and the boy inside a nearby bunker he had built.
Smith said Monday that Ethan has siblings, but none of them were on the bus last week.
In the ensuing days, officials said little about what was going on in the bunker or in their strategy, or what -- if anything -- Dykes wanted.
"Based on our discussions with Mr. Dykes, he feels like he has a story that's important to him, although it's very complex," Olson said Monday before the hostage situation ended. He didn't elaborate.
Ethan suffers from Asperger's syndrome and attention deficit disorder, state Rep. Steve Clouse said during the week.
Dykes told authorities that he had blankets and a heater in the bunker, and authorities have previously said the bunker -- built 4 feet underground -- has electricity.
Authorities did not say how they were communicating with Dykes.
Meanwhile, residents and business owners in Midland City put up blue, red and black ribbons in support of the boy and Poland. Blue and red are the local school colors, and black is in honor of the slain bus driver.
The U.S. Navy confirmed Monday that Dykes served in the military from 1964 to 1969.
Naval records list him as an aviation maintenance administrationman third-class who served with units based in California and Atsugi, Japan. The job entails clerical work related to aircraft and aircraft maintenance, according to the Navy's job description.
Neighbors and officials had described Dykes as a survivalist with "anti-government" views.
Even as the hostage situation continued Monday morning, plenty of police were on hand as schools in neighboring Ozark, Alabama, reopened for the first time since the incident began.
Dale County schools remained closed but were to reopen on Tuesday, the district said.
In Ozark, school officials decided to begin strictly enforcing a 15-foot safety zone around school buses required by state law. The law prohibits any unauthorized adults, including parents, from approaching within 15 feet of a school bus stop. If an unauthorized adult gets too close, bus drivers are supposed to close bus doors or drive away, if necessary, school officials said

Given the city's reputation for not preserving its old buildings, people Sunday were only surprised that the demolition of the Bakersfield Brewery Co.'s brick building on Union Avenue hadn't occurred sooner.

Juan Martin del Potro celebrates his victory over Rafael Nadal in the Rolex Masters. Photo: Reuters
There will not be a 39th instalment, not yet, in the prolific series between reinstated world No.1 Rafael Nadal and the man whose world ranking he usurped.
Novak Djokovic reached the Shanghai Rolex Masters final safely enough, but the unexpected sting in the semi-final tale came with Juan Martin del Potro's stunningly brutal upset of the Spaniard he had hailed pre-match as "unbeatable".
Very few times I played against a player with a level like today I played against.
The only man not named Nadal, Djokovic, Roger Federer or Andy Murray to win a grand slam singles title since 2005 bludgeoned the thundering forehand that anchored his 2009 US Open triumph, the 6-2, 6-4 result also sealing the Argentine's place in the eight-man field at the ATP World Tour Finals in London.
Rafael Nadal adjusts his headband during a break in play. Photo: Reuters
"Very few times I played against a player with a level like today I played against,'' said Nadal, who hailed as "amazing" his opponent's powerful display. "At the end I played against a player who served 80 per cent of first serves, who hit every ball as hard as he can I think, and with no mistakes. So I go home with the calm that I did all what I had to do and I played today against a player that was better than me tonight.''
Nadal said he would leave Shanghai "with the feeling that I didn't play bad. That's the real thing. Is fair to say that. I am enough humble to say that: that I played well, and I lost 6-2, 6-4.''
Having rebounded from his own shock loss to Lleyton Hewitt in the second round of the US Open by claiming the Tokyo title last week, del Potro burst to a 4-0 lead and never relinquished the advantage despite twice being threatened on serve early in the second set. His first win over Nadal in four years was - after his finals loss to Djokovic at the China Open on Sunday - just the second suffered by the Majorcan on hardcourts this season.
And so, having never saluted in Shanghai despite an unrivalled record at Masters 1000 level - including five titles this year - Nadal will leave empty-handed again. He won eight of the pair's 11 previous encounters, but the ledger is now level at 4-4 on hardcourts, del Potro's favoured surface.
"Always when you beat the No.1 player of the world, it feels something special on your mind, my feelings,'' del Potro said. "My team feels unbelievable things. My family, friends. I mean, it's one moment so good to explain with words. I'm so happy, so exciting to enjoy a little bit this match. I know I have not many hours to be ready for the final against Djokovic.''
Del Potro's ongoing struggles with a wrist injury have been well-documented, but when healthy and on song the otherwise-gentle giant is an imposing force indeed. This was a gasp-worthy performance at times, just due to the sheer force of that forehand, his movement for a player of his height adding greatly to Nadal's degree of difficulty. At 25, the sixth seed is still the youngest member of an ageing top 10, and surely has more major successes ahead.
"If he plays like he did this afternoon, of course, yeah,'' said Nadal. "But is true that after the injury that he had, that is very tough to come back after injuries. Is true it was tough for him to find, well, the level of tonight. I don't know if he found before, but to find close to this level. If he plays similar to this level, for sure he's one of the biggest candidates to win a grand slam tournaments. He's able to do it. I'm sure he will win more.''
No such dramas - a second-set umpiring disagreement aside - for defending champion Djokovic, who advanced past Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 7-5, to extend his fine record in China to 19 consecutive wins and three titles. Soon, perhaps, to be four.
"It's very positive because most of the people would think after the fourth Grand Slam of the year is over, that somehow the season is finished in the minds of maybe people who are not following consistently the tennis season,'' said Djokovic. "For me it's definitely not over.''
Unlike his latest reign at No.1, which ended on Monday after the most recent 48 of his 101 weeks in top spot. Chased becomes chaser. Does that change anything else?
"To be honest, not a significant change in my approach to the tournaments,'' Djokovic said. "I knew that the rankings are going to change, considering the fact what Nadal has achieved this year. It was a matter of a moment or a week or whatever when he's going to take No. 1 because he's had by far best results this year.
"I knew that, but I still keep on believing in myself and keep on working hard, being very much motivated to win every tournament that I play. It hasn't changed really. I'm still inspired to play my best tennis. That's how it's going to stay.''
Linda Pearce is a guest of the Shanghai Rolex Masters.

The Calendar of the Arts lists dynamic public events that represent the academic curriculum in the Arts at Dickinson.
Learn more
Known for having one of the oldest and strongest programs in the nation, Dickinson's Environmental Studies department offers two majors, a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.A. in Environmental Studies. The Environmental Studies Department recognizes that solutions to the human predicament require an interdisciplinary effort, incorporating ecological and social perspectives. The goals of the program include providing a sound academic background and an opportunity for students to use their education through research and community outreach. Thus, students and faculty are involved in collaborative research at the local, regional, and national levels on a wide variety of environmental problems; ranging from monitoring stream health collaboratively with grassroots activists to researching the mechanisms of forest mortality, and examining the link between air quality and student athlete performance.
Introductory courses for the Environmental Studies major and the Environmental Science major are the same. Please check the Academic Bulletin for details on the upper-level courses required for each major.
Environmental Studies and Environmental Science major advising worksheets
Environmental Science (ENST) 131, and 130 or 132. ENST 131 (fall) and either 130 or 132 (spring) are required for both the Environmental Studies and Environmental Science majors (and all three courses meet the college's natural science distribution requirement). A student may not take both ENST 130 and 132. Prospective majors usually enroll in ENST 131 in the fall and then enroll in ENST 132 in the spring. Some students may start with ENST 130 in the spring, and then take ENST 131 during the fall of their sophomore year. A score of 4 or 5 on the Environmental Studies Advanced Placement Exam will substitute for ENST 131, in which case students will take ENST 132 in the spring of their first year.
ECON 100, Contemporary Economics or ECON 111, Introduction to Microeconomics.ECON 111 is the required course for the B.S. major, whereas either course counts for the B.A. major. (These courses fulfill the prerequisite for ECON 222 Environmental Economics, which is required for both majors.)
ENST 111, Environment, Culture and Values or ENST 215, Jewish Environmental Ethics.
CHEM 131, 132 or PHYS 131,132: B.S. majors are required to take two semesters of either chemistry or physics. Generally, the 131 courses are only offered in the fall and the 132 courses are only offered in the spring, and the 131 courses are prerequisites to the 132 courses. Thus, B.S. majors must plan to take a full year of chemistry or physics, starting in the fall. B.S. majors who do not take this sequence in their first year should plan to take it in the sophomore year, to prevent conflicts with study abroad.
Notify the Environmental Studies department chair, Professor Gregory Howard (email@example.com), that you are interested in majoring in Environmental Studies or Environmental Science prior to or during the course request period. This is essential because the department's introductory (100-level) courses typically fill quickly. Whenever possible, space is reserved for likely majors, but this can only be done prior to or during course selection.
Introductory courses that fulfill distribution requirementsDivision IA: ENST 111, Environment, Culture, and Values ENST 215, Jewish Environmental Ethics
Division II: ECON 100, Contemporary Economics ECON 111, Introduction to Microeconomics
Division III, laboratory courses: ENST 130, 131, and 132
Quantitative Reasoning: MATH 121 (Statistics) or other MATH courses beyond MATH 120
For Course descriptions and requirements for the major, refer to the Academic Bulletin: Environmental Studies and Environmental Science or the department website
Please note that majors in the Environmental Studies and Environmental Science programs require more courses than most majors. Although these programs provide real opportunities to customize the major, they have some very specific requirements. This means that careful planning and consultation with a faculty member in the Environmental Studies Department is essential. This planning and consultation can begin as soon as a student arrives on campus.
The Environmental Studies and Science Department offers two separate degree programs, a B.A. in Environmental Studies and a B.S. in Environmental Science. In addition, many of its required courses are provided by other departments and programs as part of its interdisciplinary emphasis. As a result, it is very hard to provide a specific template or common plan of year-to-year progress through the major. It is thus VERY IMPORTANT for students to contact the department, the department chair, their academic advisor (especially their major advisor in ES), and their ES professors for advice and information about their ES program.
In addition, our website provides a wealth of specific details about the program.
Especially valuable are the print-out sheets that provide a course-by-course breakdown for each of the two majors:
We also provide a very useful departmental Advising Guide for Environmental Studies/Environmental Science majors and minors, most recently updated on 7/2/2012 (Version 1.0).
Please contact Academic Department Coordinator Deb Peters (email@example.com) or Department Chair Gregory Howard (email@example.com) with additional questions.
Study off-campus may be either in the United States or abroad. Environmental Studies students are especially encouraged to participate in the Dickinson Science Program in Norwich, England, and in the University of Queensland Science Program in Brisbane, Australia. Other recommended programs include the School for Field Studies, which offers full-semester programs at centers around the world focusing on biological conservation, resource management, and sustainable development. Recommended off-campus programs of study in the United States include the Semester in Environmental Science at the Marine Biological Laboratory, and a semester program at The Duke University Marine Laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina.
The B.A. degree in Environmental Studies requires majors to complete transcript notation for an internship or research experience. There are many opportunities for such both on campus and in the Carlisle/Harrisburg community. Students often complete this requirement during the summer break as well. For more information, see: www.dickinson.edu/academics/programs/environmental-studies/content/Environmental-Studies-Internships/
The Environmental Studies department has numerous employment, internship, and research opportunities in our two major community outreach co-curricular programs: The Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring (ALLARM) and the College Farm. Detailed information on these programs can be found on the department website.
Students majoring in Environmental Studies or Environmental Science also often find employment, internship, and research opportunities with the Center for Sustainability Education.

I'm fascinated by the curved roof building in the 'last but one' photos above.
Can't remember seeing one elsewhere, except it's vaguely similar to the one I posted here. (entry Fri Aug 8 200.
Heres a few photos i took today of the control tower at Long Marston & a couple of the buildings nearby. Been past the airfield several times and i'm aware that there are quite a number of surviving buildings still standing around the site. (I actually spent the entire night on the airfield last summer during the Global Gathering dance music festival.. i was a bit to 'out of it' to notice then though )
I was a bit rushed for time and the weather was terrible today though so it was just a quick visit as i was making a quick de-tour on the way home from Stratford.
The tower area was totally deserted and silent although a micro light club operate from here.There was a fair bit of activity out on the runways with lorry and bus tuitions going on today that i noticed..
It has to be said Marston's tower could do with a lick of paint pretty soon.
Some of the other buildings situated next to the tower -
..and finally a very misty and damp look across towards the runways -

Stevie, re the last image; does the blast wall at the rear of the curved roof building cover an entrance for that building or is there another structure behind?
I think that I found it on satellite but could you post a location link?
I'm with you Carnaby; it is very similar.

Looking at the curved roof building again it appears to have the remains of a chimney and maybe a wall at the window end. Also should the windows have a lintel? What I'm getting at is that it appears to be an adapted building rather than original, probably postwar using the shelter parts as a roof. Long Marston's is quite a bit smaller than Woodhall Spa. They do look similar but not in dimensions.

The curved building is a Ctesiphon Hut
They were a general purpose hut known to have been used as maintenance unit workshops, camera stores. office, guardrooms and POL store. Wethersfield had 12 or 14 at one point, but they are as easy to knock down as they were to put up so not many survive.
The irony, given the current state of affairs in Iraq, is that the type was named after the ancient palace of Shapur 1 near Ctesiphon, Baghdad. http://www.atlantiwall.co.uk
Its funny what information you find on your own website!
And for being so cocky I hope my informationis correct.

I am not so sure. According to the bible it should look more saggy between the ribs and the Wethersfield ones curve to ground level. The whole curve should be one piece. The curve here is definitely two parts.
I have taken liberties with the original, but does this look familiar?

It would be nice to see some pictures of others, this is the only one I have ever seen?

Will just throw this in as a thought, the second from last picture in the original post by Stevie looks to me like the base of one of those open blast shelters for ground personnel that has been altered much later by adding the top section?
