Same thing, in my part of texas. :(
Heres what I did.Quote:

1. I took everything out of the case and placed it on a "homemade" senfu tech station looking thing. Looks kinda like this Senfu techstation.
2. I opened the window all the way up and placed the tech station right next to it around 1AM, when its coldest outside. I then placed a large 1ft x 1ft fan on the window seal. Like this: Outside cold 3F air---->large fan----> motherboard. So the fan would blow large amounts of air all over the mobo, vga, etc.
3. My CPU ran about 4F idle, 22C full load. The mobo temps stayed around 11-14F. Excellent for max 3dmarking if you ask me.
Yeah, I can imagine how that setup would be killer for low temps. I'm not prepared to go that far in my cooling efforts, but thanks for the explanation. Besides, there's never a time here that the outside air = 3F.
hahahah I did that to break 18K before ROFL
Don't know if you messed some numbers up there, but do you mean to tell me that your computer went from 4F to 22C??? That is a serious jump in temperature, I just wanna make sure you had your numbers right.;) Also, I don't think Pyro would run that all the time Blue Oval.;) Only for benching purposes.:)Quote:

Gawd, that'd be worse yet! Taking everything apart just to bench it and then putting it back together... taking everything apart just to bench it and then putting it back together... ugh That would drive me batty. lolQuote:

When I stated idle, I meant at stock speeds/voltages. So at 2.53ghz it was arould 4F. Full load meant maximum OC with heightened voltages 3249mhz 1.82v. Sorry about that.Quote:

It works quite well for max 3mdarking...only. These temps were better than my current watercooling temps which had cost me around $300 to build. For those air temps I didn't spend a dime.
Is there any batch file (per se) that allows you to transform your XP services into one of the aforsaid variations? (like Gaming for example)
Enabling and disabling all those services one by one manually, is no fun.
Also HOW MUCH gaming performance would I gain by turning my XP system into a "Gaming" profile?

I believe you can. I don't have any links of hand though I remember seeing afew guides on how to do so.

Hardly squat, this tweak is purely for 3dmark purposes.
Black Viper's site has one I think. Allows you to transform them into several different versions, Gaming among them.Quote:

Has anyone tried this gaming services tweak and its effects on a system and online gaming? with my specs down below i could use all the help i could get lmao.
I didn't do it ala the patch, but I did go through all my services per the site's instructions. I have close to 50% less running processes now and my system is quite a bit quicker overall. :D
Not to mention all the memory you saved from disabling all the extra bloated services :)
Figured that went without saying. ;)Quote:

so the gaming one works then?
This type of article is perfect for the first time PC builder
Very well laid out and easy to follow
Thanks for investing the time to put this together
Ill be printing this when I ready to install OS next week
Congrats

:D
Thank you for the kind words. :) Your welcome jcpiercy.
I'll try and update the guide again in the near future.
Hey, i should have looked at this before :p
Hmm, how long has Guru3d been down? Where else can i download the newest version of Rivatuner?
Also, here's a stupid question, how do you completely disable AA and Anisotropic filtering? I don't see any tab to disable it, only can click on "Application preference", is that the same thing pretty much?
You, turn off AA/AF, by moving the performance slider all the way to the left in the Direct 3D section of the ATI control panel.Quote:
