related? nope.
the night b4 yesterday, tiff, merv, and i met up at ikano for dinner. wired’s mom’s b’day was coming up soon, and merv was looking at a wireless panasonic steam iron. merv picked me up on the way (yay). so there we were, at harvey norman, checking out prices with some smses/calls to ozzieland.
and…. we found…. nothing.
so the hunger pangs were coming on. we ate at fasta pasta, where the pasta is fasta than its flava. and yet not much fasta than a sleepwalking turtle. they didn’t key in all of merv’s orders, and the food itself wasn’t so great. bodhi tree serves much better food. 😀
and tiff bought us nerds (yay)! she was looking for clothes mainly, while merv was on the phone a lot, while i was looking at passing chicks. also checked out prices at the ace store there, but it’s just the same anywhere.
last night, i decided to stay home. no salsa for me (sorry merv). had dinner indoors and took my time reseating my heatsink onto the cpu, since temperatures were a tad too high (65 C with case closed). while that happened, i just tweaked the voltages a bit, and managed to get 3.75GHz stable. this time i also upped the RAM voltage, since overvolted RAM don’t overheat much. think i’ll try again for 3.9 tonight.
also ran a few benchmarks to get a feel of the new motherboard. generally, the ratings are slightly older than my previous motherboard. and dual channel memory only works with 2 dimm slots, and not 4 as before. so here i am with 1GB of unused memory. probably gonna stick those into the server later.
