yeah but it doesn't show if it's disabled though, i can also type "getmac" to see the enabled addresses but it doesn't help

isn't there anything i can check on the network adapter itself?

I'm thinking of remounting my stock e7200 HSF to see what kind of temps I'll get with it... I'm getting awful temps for a F7P; I've remounted and regooped three times and I'm getting temps in the mid 40C range at stock clocks and idle.

Is it humid? My desktop ranges from anywhere 28c to 41c idle with a f7p rev2.

looking at picking up a new build next week. tentative budget is like lol 500squid inc pnp however. is new mobo+cpu+ram+(cheapcheap) case unfeasible? i'd be able to carry over my 4850 but i think my psu died last night ((

thoughts

oh doesnt have to be a super serious build (eve/bf2/tf2, potential to expand if i need it)

Not a lot.

I reseated my stock HSF and temps are no more than 3C higher than before... I really can't be assed to reinstall the F7P, also the smaller profile of the stock HSF allows my 120mm exhaust pull more air out.

Pff, that's nothing, I'm sitting with a F7P rev 1 (made for dual cores) and my CPU hits 75C on load

Even with my huge-ass Xigmatek monster, my CPU does about 85°C under Linpack.

Thank you, Intel, for making such great heat spreaders!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

£500 is good for quite a bit of computer parts. It's all so bloody cheap nowadays.

I assumed 2 HDDs, 1 DVD drive, 3 USB devices. You could go for 5##, but I don't think you'd need it.

Oooh, actually, the 650W from Corsair is on cheap at the mo. That'd be good if you wanted to upgrade in the future.

My load temps with LinX are almost 10C (I'm hitting 58C right now) cooler on the stock cooler than my F7P... but the idle is a degree or two hotter.

According to that, I need 985W, I have 800W and it's working fine.

I think I will swap my HD 5870 to much cheaper ASUS GTX 460 768MB. cooler, quieter and not that much slower (when overclocked) than HD 5870...

I know, 1GB would be better but that is like 5% more performance at my 1680x1050 resolution for 25% extra cost so fuck that.

199€ for the gtx, I figure I get 320€ out of my HD 5870 and bank the exchange for better days. 460 simply rapes the radeon in bang for buck.

You are remembering the 1GB model has a larger memory bus, right? So it's not just about the extra memory.

Where do you think the 5% extra performance comes? Thats right, the memory bus.
