mmm, burning metal

I can't stress how important it is after you've disabled all the power management features on your system to keep your heat sink's fan on.

what metal have you been smoking?

bits and pieces of my prescott. mmm, burning processor.

that's a nice couple hundred dollar mistake. Oh well, testing goes on.

btw, shouldn't the thermal diode have responded by signalling the processor to throttle down the frequency until it didn't cook itself?

I was thinking power management meant speedStep, not something so fundamental...

speedstep is only a mobile feature. northwoods have themal throttling, which is feature to prevent cpu from burning up. prescotts have other features, which i have no public links to send you to.

i didn't actually break the processor in question. it's running spec happily at the moment. it sure smelled good, though. like stinky old solder.

a guy i know has been working on power management, which involves conducting lots of experiments at the maximum power draw for the system. he's burned up a couple board and a processor, as i recall.

This essentially means that when you're reading something poorly written, like Star Trek/Card Captor cross-over fanfic, it saves power by not letting the CPU get excited. But something with strong thematic overtones will get full power.

I so need to write an otakon report. Damn procrastination and image server not being up yet...

Yes. Yes you do. And it should be in the style of a fanfic. I will expect young girls with large breasts, and the main star, perhaps Vincent Leeshue Jr, getting into sexually awkward situations and screwing things up, thus preventing him from actually getting any nookie. Wow! That would be so hilarious! Hell, maybe I'll write an Otakon report.

You should make your Otakon report an entire anime series.

26 episodes, 14 of them being fillers.

just 14 or 26 are fillers? Wow, that's still a lot of content.

There are actually quite a few good series coming out nowadays, but I suppose everyone's too busy to watch. Of course, boredom takes priority, right?

I still need Hikaru no Go and Azumanga Daioh. And there was something else I was watching too I think but I forget.

VLSmooth · Post by **VLSmooth** » Mon Aug 18, 2003 4:11 pm

Azumanga Daioh is complete at 26 eps
Hikaru no Go is complete at 75 eps

Hmm... I also have to help Peijen with a "certain" series that's 118 eps and going... maybe something will pop up this week.

Alan · Post by **Alan** » Mon Aug 18, 2003 6:14 pm

Clearly I need the rest of those series then.
