Brrrr - chilly morning :)

[brumster]

Cripes it's cold in my "office room" this morning - my CPU is at 12deg C according to MBM! It's a wonder my w/c setup hasn't freezed - I think I might have to lag the pipes soon :p

Anyone else rather 'frio' this morning?!

[Aa-chan]

The weather is certainly chilly in Glasgow this morning. My CPU is reported at 55C instead of the usual 60C [bad BIOS by MSI, not real temps] :) . That 12C must bring a smile to your face :p .

It's crept up to 17 now :D

I'm going to go for a mad overclock while it's like this - I've wired the CPU up for a full 240v, going to see if I can crack the 8GHz barrier ;)

Got to love a 240v core voltage. No messing, straight in there with big time overclocks. I fully expect to see a 1:1 ratio on that memory bus though. Hmm, you could always swing the entire rig around by the mains/CPU supply cable, thus creating a fan effect to aid cooling :)

My W/C doesn't get the benefit of the cold weather unfortunately, as the heating is usually a touch higher on days like this. And as much as I usually love cold mornings, i've been off sick from work all week, and as it's not lifted yet it's making me miserable :(

Mums car was reporting -1c this morning, then I had to wait at bus stop :(

Damn hands nearly dropped off :(

I rang up the supplier this morning to see if I could get three-phase piped in in time for christmas, but alas not, the sub-station isn't suitable apparently.

Oh well :)

;) ;)

I rang up the supplier this morning to see if I could get single-phase piped in in time for christmas, but alas not, the sub-station isn't suitable apparently.

Oh well :)

;) ;)
:confused: You've already got single-phase in. It's three phase you want. (I can explain the mechanics of how three phase power is generated, if anyone is bored ;) )

Oh the joys of the edit button - do you think anyone will notice :D

Notice what? :confused:




;)

incidentally, the 3 phases come from the generator in the power station. There are 3 coils which generate current which are arranged 120° apart. Each coil generates 1 phase. If you showed all three phases on an oscilloscope, you would show the plots of each phase staggered by 120°.

Blimey, I actually remembered something from my Power Engineering courses at Uni :eek:

You want some heated gloves ;) You can get some powered by batteries which heat your finger tips.

Or a car of my own!!!

We had a little snow today but nowt too drastic.

And going one step further than that, in every street the houses are wired on different phases, every 3 house repeats the steps. the usual colours for 3 phase wiring is red, yellow, blue and black for netral return. if you put a volt meter across two different phase cables there will be a voltage measuring 1/3rd of the supply voltage with respect to neutral.

What happens if you touch the red wire :p

[DarkEntity]

its bloody freezing in my CPU room, that could be because i left the window open though :rolleyes:

[Clarkey]

Bloody freezin today too you should remove case on pc and get a big house fan to blow nice ice cold air onto rig. You should get some real good performance as it will cool everythin ram,graphics card etc just make sure its not raining or snowing lol.
Can you imagine living in places where it is always minus 40 or whatever like north pole it would be an overclockers paradise.

Their is one simple abeviation for what i thought after reading that: wtf.

I understand the three coils of the motor and the entire electrical induction in each coil, but I have blue, brown and yellow/green wires in my house.... so how the hell do u get a potential difference of only a 1/3? ah a-level physics, such memories...(!)

[Br4inDe4d]

Lol I walked bout 300 ft from car to the school in -24 C by the time i got to school i couldn't write with my ungloved hands...

[Archaon]

Cold storage, -28 C, in a t-shirt. :p
