Lil bit hot

Bought a new AXPER-K7S748 for my socket-A mobo at RM180 from Malaysia's silicone valley supermarket a.k.a Lowyat Plaza. Bought it back and reassemble reusable parts like CPU, HD, NIC, graphic card, boot her again and she's back into life. Great! Now I've to finish my unfinished business.
After several days playing, I notice that my CPU temperature went up to 88-92'C. This causes my PC to went to unstable state, graphic usually went freeze at this state. So I bought an Aerocool fully copper heat sink to replace with the stock heat sink from AMD, it only lessen to 82-84'C. But when CPU is on processing, temperature can reach back to 92'C. I got 5 fan blowing in and out from my casing, still it doesn't do the trick. The last thing I did was open her side 'door' and let my table fan do the blow job. LOL!! And she's stable at around 84-86'C. I haven't OC her, yet she's breathing a little bit hot.

To buy or not to buy

I did it!! After a week playing on my old PC, the motherboard went up in flame. LOL! After several 'automatic-shutdown' and countless 'hang', my PC finally gave up. Sure it sound stupid cheering to my dead 'old baby', but I take it as it is. No big deal. That big circuit board only got burn marks on its power socket, gee.. I thought I'm gonna see flame or sparks coming out from the box, nope.

Just some burnt wire scent with little smoke puffing from that socket. Actually I did smell the burning wire these few days, but watthehack, the fun must go on, killing has to be made, guns need to reload, and bad guys must put to rest. Shit! but now I've to take a rest from the game also. Else, I've to shit another RM190 for a new socket A mobo with additional RM100 for a capalang(brand-less) power supply unit(PSU). Sigh!

To buy or not to buy, that is the question.

I'm broke

Its been awhile I didn't switched on my trusty old PC. I long to play game on my PC till I bought CD game and kept it for about few month. Still haven't installed it to play. The last time when I switched it on, it'll last about 3 minute, then the display went out. I thought, it maybe the safety feature preventing the CPU getting burn by over heating. So I check, the heat-sink fan is turning. Hmm... must be something else. Dust around the CPU? Nope, Its all over, LOL. So now I know its been awhile.

Anyway, I took the liberty of cleaning her up and try to breath life in her again. Even she's old, i'm sure she'll hold. Its a Socket A baby, but in those days she a monster when it comes to over-clocking game. Tore her into pieces, I brush and wipe her till like the day I remember I bought and assemble her. Baby, now you look like new again. But why you keep black out after few minute I switch U on?

Desperate troubleshooting her, I bought her to my office and plug in with other graphic card. Hey! It works. But now I've to buy a new graphic card. Dang!

Came back from Lowyat, spend RM520 for a BioStar nvidia 6800XT 512Mb 256bit graphic card. Man! I'm broke. But at least now I get to stay back for a Sniper Elite, The Godfather and Rainbow 6. LOL! Perfect Poligon time, eveytime.
