New cooling setup

November 4th, 2011 admin No comments

I bought a water cooling kit for my computer because it was running hot when overclocked.  The max temperature after 5 hours of stress testing only hit 67 degrees Celsius.  Big difference compared to air cooling.  It’s a 980x CPU running at 4.0GHz.

Video format conversion under Snow Leopard

November 27th, 2010 admin No comments

As you can see from the CPU usage graph, converting between HD video formats takes quite a bit of power.  It definitely puts my Core i7 980x to good use.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 Core 216

Iz a nize!  I wanted to upgrade to a faster video card to play Crysis on high settings.  This is a good value card.  Now I’m waiting for a motherboard with PCI-E 2.0 support so I can use the card’s full speed.  My current motherboard only supports version 1.0 of PCI-E.  SiSoft Sandra shows that the card is performing a bit slower than it should be with this motherboard.  I’m also hoping to get it working with Snow Leopard.  Anyways, here it is below!

Jailbreak iPod touch 3G firmware 3.1.1

Yes, it’s possible with blackra1n.  It’s not perfect, but it works.  If you ever let the battery die you have to run the program again to boot it up.  Hopefully a full jailbreak will come out within few weeks.
