In Australia we work on a different method. Generally cooling the operator with copious amounts of amber fluid tends to resolve all screen errors, alarms and temperature problems. It’s a different sort of “liquid cooling”.

Only a 12W CPU and it still hits those insane temps? Wow. A nice and sticky thermal paste should be all I need then if I want to liquid cool it (no need for the extra pressure from a mounting bracket). Any cheap old block should work too as long as it's small enough then. Guess I'll just have to make sure the pipes are really flexible, so they don't rip it off (I've heard about silicon tubes used in liquid cooling setups, so I guess I'll have to investigate that). So, thanks again. No point in building a sick system if it just BSOD's, becomes unrecoverable, and I loose everything. (A very unpleasant experience) Thanks for the PDF.

Greetings from Ireland Just read your blog about the MAXIQ Predictor software. I am a Computer Consultant working in Ireland. I spent 2 weeks with adaptec in florida doing the RAID course back in Febuary 2002. I still do all my raid installations with adaptec products. If you could send me the software i feel it would be very helpful in my work. Thanking you in advance Colin PS: There was an article on the adaptec site entitled " Adaptec success in Ireland" the article was all about me doing the raid course in Florida and how successful it was for me when i returned to ireland.

Love the RAID 5805 controller even if it get's a bit hot in my setup. Using it in a "client" and guess it's designed for a server setup based on the performance I get :-).
