[Advert] Anyone want a laugh at my PIC soldering attempts?

["Darryl Mattocks" <Darryl.Mattocks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, the temperature sensor (RS232 linked to Harmony (of course)) is now
u=

and out there waiting for some kind soles to try it out.  It is made by my
own fair hand, so if any of you feel like a laugh at someone else=92s
botch=
ed
soldering attempts then you could do worse than peer inside the case! :-)

BTW =96 the Harmony link up stuff is (I think) getting to be quite cool. 
W=
e
have a couple of LD11=92s here that we have set to show whether the
temperature in the room is too high or too low.   The entire temperature
interface system has been done with the HAPI SDK so its all distributed,
linked by TCP/IP sockets and robust to node failures.  Development was
pretty simple too.

Slowly, slowly we=92re getting there!

Hi Paul,

I would be interested in how you get on with the Asus motherboard as I am
planning to purchase one in the next couple of weeks as I am finally going
to get around to installing a Matrox RTx10 edit card, I have had collecting
dust for nearly a year after it wouldn't work in my current PC.

Is there any reason you didn't go for the Prescott CPU rather than
Northwood??

I was planning to go for a 3.2GHz Prescott, is there any reason I should
change??

Is water cooling really necessary?? I am looking at the Lian Li PC 6070
Silent Aluminum Midi-Tower from Overclockers and wasn't planning on water
cooling.

What other memory can be used with this board without ruining its
performance as the OCZ stuff at =A3350 is a little bit to expensive.

Cheers

Paul

Thanks Simon,

I already have an Abit IC7 Max3 with P4 3.0GHz o/c to 3.4 on water
cooling :) Works well (in most places)

I wanted another system based on a different m/b as I have had some
weird problems with Premiere Pro and a matrox RTx100 edit card that I
and tech support haven't been able to solve - apart from getting another
power PC, the hope was to solve the problem along the way.

I've just ordered the following:

Chieftec DA-01SLD Silver Dragon
2 x Seagate SERIAL SATA Barracuda 7200.7 200Gb
Asus P4C800-E Deluxe Intel 875P Canterwood Motherboard
OCZ PC4400 Performance Dual Channel 2 x 512MB Memory
Asetek Waterchill Antarctica CPU/VGA/Chipset POWER KIT ! KT12A-L30
(220V) 10mm
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 3.4C Ghz 800Mhz Retail Boxed
Antec True Control 550W ATX PSU inc. 5.25 Control Panel (ORANGE BOX)
Mitsumi 7 in 1 Internal Media and Floppy Drive (Silver)
Papst 8412N/2GME Sleeve Bearing 3 pin 80mm Fan

I went for the PC4400 memory as you can see - after reading a few
reviews that ran it on the P4C800-E. I'm a bit confused why you said not
to go for it, given I'm getting this m/b??? I also just realized that
this was the performance range and not the EL gold series :( (which
overclock.co.uk) don't do. Is there likely to be a big difference -
should I return it and go for the EL gold (from overclockers.co.uk)???

I guess my main confusion was over all the talk of PC3500/3700 memory vs
PC4000/4200/4400 and ram timings etc - couldn't find an answer as to
which was better.

Thanks,

Paul
