Heya

I'm going to OC my 2500+ to 400fsb, so i need an nf2 board. Right now i'm leaning towards picking up the epox nf2 ultra board (i may put a sata hd in it). What are your thoughts.

<A HREF="http://www.chiefvalue.com/app/productdetails.asp?submit=search&item=13-123-234" target="_new">Here</A> is the one i was looking at. The price isn't that much different from the asus board and i've heard good things about it, but i haven't found one (asus) with sata. Which is kinda why i put this up, so that people like you would say, yea it's got sata, but it doesn't oc as well...or doesn't work with the memory you're going to use, etc.

What i have already in my possession:
-Geil 2.5 4 4 3200(low end...but it'll get me there).
-2500+ (wasn't bought oem...so probably locked...)
-msi kt400(not a)mobo (being replaced)
-hsf all copper volcano 7+ with 3x speed fan (already gotten comments about this...i won't be getting a different one...=P); halfway considering changing this 7+ into something else...drilling into the copper, possibly making my own water cooler...
-psu antec junkpower 400w

The 7+ isn't really thick enough to realistically turn it into a waterblock.

ThermalRight make some great heatsinks. Even if your board isn't compatible with the real monsters, the SI-97 is excellent and virtually guaranteed to fit.

I had a 7+. It sucks compared to an SI-97, especially noise-wise.

It rusted? Not sure what you mean by oxidised...I've had mine for ah...3 years i think...around there anyway.

Well...i might not be getting that after all...I just got a bite from a friend (...not that kind of bite...)...I've been trying to sell my asus a8n-sli board for a little while and i got a call today at work about a possible bite. So...if i sell that for 120, i'll pick up the high end dfi sli board or the medium end msi sli board. I like having raid 5 available onboard if i decide to go there (which is why i would go with the dfi). I already have an audigy 2 so MSI's sound blaster doesn't mean anything to me. I won't try going down the debate road on sli...we can leave that one alone if you don't mind. Heh.

Aluminum doesn't rust, it turns dark gray and white with oxidation. Does your bicycle have aluminum rims? That black stuff from the breaks is aluminum oxide and break pad mixed.

Copper turns dark green when it oxidizes.

Silver turns color too.

And they use Aluminum Oxide in sandpaper.

M'yea...u guys are serious geeks. =D

I actually understood what he meant by oxidation...i just didn't understand why his hsf (this is for wusy...) <i>rusted</i>. Anybody who's been water water rafting/canoeing/kayaking knows that copper <i>rusts</i>. And if you haven't been ww r/c/k, then you need to!!! It's the most fun you can have, next to actually dieing! =D Anyway back to the hsf, i'm kinda surprised he didn't think of a way to not allow it to rust...ie use some non-rusting liquid....rust....rust...rust. =P hehehehe

Ok enuf fun has been made at wusy's expense...gotta run. Stay geek, laterz

Copper and silver tarnish, steel (iron based alloys) rust, and aluminum? Aluminum oxidizes. Those are all common terms. But oxidization can be applied to iron, copper, and silver, because it's also a scientific term.

And here i thought you had turned it in to a water hsf some how and you were getting <i>rust</i> (heh) from that. But now i'm thinking...is it just that humid in your place? I've had mine for however long its been(2-4yrs...), and there hasn't been any oxidisation occuring on mine.

What'd i tell you about soaking it in salt water? Some kids just never learn. =D

You know...if your box is corroded maybe you should see a doctor. Have you noticed any smells accompaning this corrosion?

Do you have that...not so clean feeling? ;D

<Dr. Apesoccer enters the room>

When you say <i>animals</i>...don't you really mean that you were abused as a child, and treated like an animal? A bad monkey for instance? You see, what can happen to a preadolescent who is coming of age, can be very scary. I want you to know that you aren't alone. There are 10's of 100's of people who have gone through what you have...through the last 10000 years or so. What we need to do here Mr Wusy, it's ok if i call you Wusy?, good; Ok, so what we need to really do here Mr Wusy, is get to the root of why you think you need to say to your self, I'm a bad lil' monkey. Cuz that's what this is really all about. Ok...first, we need you to admit that you have a problem, because i can't help you if you don't admit there is a problem. Second, i'm going to need you to write on the message boards 100x "I Mr Wusy am NOT a bad lil' monkey." OK. Now i expect a progress report here in the next 2-3 weeks. Alright? Thank you for entering Dr. Apesoccer's Repository for people that can't stop calling them selves a bad lil' monkey.

[I am an expert in Angry Repetitive Monkey Syndrome or ARMS for short; also known as bad monkey disease and defined by the repeated use of "bad lil' monkey" in sentences when talking to one's self]
