Rambling for the day

I had a long night yesterday, i wanted so badly to have a game of l4d2 with andy but heck the garena server decided to play against me. So i never got to play for the night. I kept thinking about me lady love in Bosnia, wondering how she is, and what she was doing when she actually smsed me and told me the answers to my questions. Talk about emotional connectivity.

Assignments are aplenty but i am not starting on any yet because i believe that a weekend is for ones private space or to be with friends. The other 6 days are used for attending to family things and university demands, that the only time u have for yourself, is just a bath or some nice nap, that i sorely miss.

I cant wait to start training with Munthif, in a way he is my idol because he plays nationals and he is very humble about it. Me, training with him will definitely increase my competency and fitness, thus keeping me fit for my lady lovey ;)

Today, i have a KPI ( Key Performance Index) to achieve, which is to

1. Complete my Optical Communications Assignment

2. Read on my literature review for distributed systems ;)

Thats it for today :)

Rambling for the day

I wanted to write about my life instead of overclocking since i believe its a bygone era for me. Right now i am in my final year, and it is pretty intense, though i find it pretty boring. Not to say i am somewhat a genius in school but the work load can be boring. Not as exciting as it was in 2nd year.

At the moment, i am in a dilemma about things i want to do once i graduate. My heart is set to two things, one would be to continue studying and then work, or to get into the work force and earn my first dough. Nevertheless, it seems i am quite used to the student life i am at, at the moment. Living in the so called Comfort Zone.

I am now, working on an assignment and a soft paper on distributed networks. I have yet to work strictly on my final year project as I need some help from my peers to review my work, as it goes along. Not easy working with people from different timezones on earth. I lack the inspiration to do greater things, though i know i am thoroughly capable of achieving it.

By the way i need to change the outlook of my blog again ;)

Anyways that is my rambling for the day.

Backdates...

well this a back date... just wanted to post a pic of one competition i went for... i got second place lol... :P and overclocked a comp till 5.4Ghz with dry ice... so nice :P more pics later :)

Xigmatek S1284 Archilles issues

I tried installing the heatsink yesterday but looks like the 4 heatpipes are not fully utilized.. it looks too wide. Definitety since lga775 sockets are not so wide, looks like some mis-calculations has been done. I placed the thermal paste evenly across the processor, and placed the heatsink back in.. looks like it used the middle two pipes and half of each from the wide lined pipelines.

Now it seems clear why 3 heatpipes works best on the lga775 socket as the 3 pipes fully come in contact with the processor.. If the 4 heatpipes can be compacted into a size of 3 heatpipes, then Archilles woudl be god like. I will post some pictures up of the archilles, i have great reason to say that its an awesome cooler. Just that the heatpipe placements affect the performance and this makes the S1283 to be better.

Hello

As December gets closer, my exams are going to near an end by the mid week of december. I am slowly building up a nice rig for overclocking. At the moment, building it one by one is fun, finally i got the right things after a patient and suffering wait for an whole year. 

Now this are the specifications of my little monster.

Besides that all are the same as before... soon i will be getting some nice points and hobby to play with. :)
