"I'm back and I'm using the new Shuttle!!"

Yeah! I received the SN41G2 on Thursday, but couldn't the heatsink and thus the CPU out of the socket from my old PC, so I had to wait until Monday to get a new one... then, after overspilling some thermal compound over the core of my new CPU, the HD that I used stopped working (just before loading XP, a blue screen indicating that it stopped to prevent damage appeared, with a STOP error code displayed beneath)... so I spent all morning reinstalling XP and my drivers...

I've now setup all my email accounts again, and can easily copy my documents from the error drive to the one I'm using (somehow it works but doesn't boot) - but all my serial numbers for all the programs that I was using (in Outlook format) are now gone!! Well, not really, they're still on the unbootable drive... but I can't copy the data files across to the new Outlook folder without causing some damage!! How can I copy the emails that I once had? (That's my question)

Looking back at the past few days... not too much hassle then, eh? And I've only got two days left to finish my Business Studies Coursework!!!

These ways of cooling are only really for overclockers, altough water cooling can and is used for non overclockers as it is quiete.

thouroughbread is the core name of the xp chip, the older one was palimino and it is mainly to do with die size.

Hey people leave their PC's on with just normal cooling :p
Tbred is athlon XP's right....

Pormethia are good, but i think not worth all that money, and water cooling is not dangerous unless you are stupid, a promethia is for the hardcore overclocker who want to pump massive high volts through there cpu, also for people with money to throw around, i was also told that it was not a good idea to run a system with a promethia 24\7 which both my computers do, I have contemplated getting one but as soon as i found that out i decided against it and went for water cooling, i havnt tried cooling with a peltier yet though.

You could water cool a Tbred B 2800 and I could prometia cool a Tbred B 1700 and I bet mine would go faster, seeing as the 1700s they're selling at the moment basically ARE 2800s.

Plus you don't even need a Prommie case, you can get the standalone units for £350. ALSO Prommies are no-risk, which is more than I can say for water cooling.

Cases with promethia's in are more widely available now, but still for the £400 you could buy either the highest or next one down from the highest spec cpu and water cool it.

Oops, I'm not that knowledgeable about all these cooler mechanisms you see......

I've just noticed that everything I talk about in this forum boils down to cooling (see what I did there?). I'll have to talk about something completely cooler-unrelated next time, because all these different cooling methods are making me feel greedy.

Dude prometias ARE phase change :D

£400 as said before ;)

It's basically a freezer mechanism, but localised entirely on the CPU.

Prometia cooling is the best, its compressed air or something, not sure about the specifics, about £500 though, but offers -52 degrees temps on a P4 overclocked to 4.1GHz
