I’m slacking a little. All game no
work makes Holodeck2 a happy boy :-)
Wallpaper update: I got
off my lazy ass and redid the 1280x1024 wall paper, now it has the 2
celerons.
Fullon3d had a live chat with that Eric guy from Abit.

Get them now!!
This is a
fixed bp6 wallpaper. In all the popular flavors, err...
resolutions.
It's still the Intels Inside one with a spelling
change; from "Mothboard" to "Motherboard"
Thanks to Matt for
pointing that out to me.
I would also like to thank Kevin for
hosting my last batch and Radu for the previous "DUEL"/"DUAL"
error.
And 1 more person, THANK YOU TIM for letting me borrow
your server space ;-)
If you need a weird resolution, feel
free to e-mail me requesting
for one.

Good afternoon for everyone living in
EST. I was going to post today morning but I didn't. Here's my
story:
I woke up and thought about posting something but I
decided to wax my car before the sun came up (draw your own
conclusions), wax on, wax off, wax on,..., did that for about an
hour. Then I saw the sun rise (Aaahh I'm melting... not). I sat in
front of my comp and started to search for good news to post. Saw
that a stoopid judge temporally shuts down napster. Goes to room and
cry. and now I'm here :-)
Judge shuts Napster down
Check out the Goofy guy in the suit
He's Sean
Fanning, founder of Napster.
Got news?? mailto:Holodeck2@home.com

Need some cooling for your Videocard
memory to get a little extra overclockability and FPS? Overclockers Hiedout Ram Sinks They just notified
me of their new design.

Big heatsinks are good, very good. The
bigger the better.
You can never can have a too big of heatsink
on a small chip (CPU, GPU, CHIPSET, etc)
My overclocked

Peltier and
watercooling next up :-)

the warranty )

If you live in Europe and IM me in the morning your time I would be
sleeping it would be like 4 in the morning here. Just to let you

Who is this Holodeck2 person
anyways?!?! Read on :-)
I’m a regular on the bp6 messageboard,
trying to help people out with their problems.
I’m the
self-proclaimed bp6 cooling expert, If you have a cooling idea, I’ve
probably already done it and can offer some incite.
My computer
is always on so you can contact me whenever... problem is, I'm not
always in front of it. I'll try to update this page and keep
everyone happy :-)
Any Questions or comments, you can either
contact me or post it on the messageboard.
Ways to contact
me.
E-mail: Holodeck2@home.com (All E-mails
will be answered in 24 hours or less, I guarantee it.)
When you
write me an e-mail please put in the subject line "BP6" then the
rest of your subject so my e-mail program can sort it, thanks

BP6 Q3 server up and

Setup a Q3 server for anyone wanting
to practice in preparation for Quakecon.. Connect to bp6.dyndns.org
default port. (SERVER: BP6 system, 256 MB ram, celeron 600 on a T3
connection)... Will be moved to another BP6 server eventually. This
is only a temporary test of the system and net connection.
(BTW-
there are a few bot's running around in there..)
BIOS Savior to the

Do you sweat during the BIOS flashing
procedure on your BP6 mobo? If so then this little gadget maybe
worth a first look. It's called the "RD1 BIOS Savior" and it
plugs in between your BIOS ROM and the BIOS ROM socket on your mobo.
This device will backup your BIOS and and allow you to recover your
BIOS in the event that your flashing session goes wrong. In the
event of a bad flash, just flip a switch on the RDI and boot up your
system, and flash again. This is also good as a failsafe in case you
don't believe in Virus Protecting your computer. (Thanks to Fred for
link)

Wow! I am impressed! Nevermind keeping
the CPU's cool... Keep your whole board cool!
Even if your
not overclocking your system (or planning on it), this unit will
provide system stability and longevity. What would happen one day of
your GeForce or CPU fan went dead? You can also think of this
cooling unit as a backup to essential cooling fans in your
system.

Dual PSU Wiring diagram... (preview to
Part 1 Watercooling Project)
Posted by tim @ 12:43AM PDT 11 comments

When is comes to overclocking your
system, cooling plays a big role. Powering all of those fans in your
system can cause quite a strain on your PSU (Power Supply Unit).
Depending on the number of peripherals in your system, adding a more
powerfull PSU or adding a second PSU may be neccesary. For
watercooling and using peltiers, dedicating a second PSU to power
the Peltiers (TEC's) is a good idea. Here I have come up with 2
diagrams on how I wired dual 300 watt ATX power supply units for the
Blizzard BP6 watercooling project. Consider this part of Step 1.
More will follow this week. BTW.. hacking up your PSU's is very
dangerous and is not recommended unless you know what you are doing.
View Diagram 1 here.
View Diagram 2 here.
I used Tap-In Squeeze Connectors and
22 guage wire to connect the wires. You can get them at Radio Shack
Part# 64-3053 or click here.
RAM Overclocking?
Hmmmmm.

I know we're pretty big overclockers
here at BP6.Com so, this is a post of choice ;-) I've seen the
question in the message boards, 'why can't I overclock any higher?'
Well, it's not always the CPU that's holding you back... Many other
things need to be taken care of to overclock such as your PCI
devices (can they handle the higher bus speed), the actual CPU, and
your RAM. I'm not saying that that a high quality stick of silicon
will enable you to overclock your 366MHz to 1 GHZ (I wish!), but, it
will certainly help =)
Extreme Overclocking has tested
(overclocked) PC133 RAM to there full potential. Here's a quote I
found and the link:
Well, the guys at Extreme Overclocking
have been hard at work again with their latest review. This time
they have put seven 128MB PC133 memory modules through the torture
tests to determine their maximum overclocking potential. Which one's
came out on top? Read the review to find out....
Cooked RAM... Yummie

FAST-MHz has released some wallpapers!
Click here to view them. They come in sizes
800x600 1024x768 and 1152x864. If you have your desktop set at a
larger size, just use the 'stretch' function in desktop properties
instead of 'center'. Works great.
In other news, we want to
finnish off all the sections at BP6.Com so, to start, we're going to
work on the Picture Gallery. To help us out, you can send in
all your cool, wierd, crazy pics that you may have to: thedaredevil@bp6.com. (The
topic being computers, duh! :0) And no... I don't want to recieve
any porno piccies in my mailbox! I have enough of those!) Kidding
guys.
Okay, that's all for now.

may send me some news to be posted if you find any ( we don't want
to flood Tim ;-) ).
