  1. This doesn't sound like a good solution to the problem. Grease attracts dust & dust is one of the PC's worst enemies. I would recommend the use of an anti condensation heater, as is used with most other critical electric/electronic equipment. They should be able to be purchased at Schneider Electric (near Rayong), or a more simple solution would be to place a 50 watt light globe inside the PC & leave it turned on whilst the PC is not in use.

    Agree that those solutions would help condensation for the general cases.. this however is what is considered Extreme Cooling .. that is the CPU is frozen to -27 to -30C at Idle and warms up to around -5 or 0C on full load depending on what speed it is running.

    There are already surface mounted +12v (10w) heaters directly on the backside of the Motherboard and on the inside of the Clamshell that hold the Evaporator head onto the CPU. The dielectric grease is to stop the small amount of condensation that can form in and around the CPU from creating a short circuit, under these conditions.

    As it turns out - I found some at HomePro, where previously they had none - Super Lube synthetic grease and works a treat. :o

    Thanks for everyone's input.

    cheers

  2. Yes I have been through all these places and they are not sure what it is, generally because it is not something they come across here. Phase Change cooling is not readily available here.

    What about an Automotive Spares shop .. Are they any good ones around in BKK and where?

  3. I have been trying to locate some Dielectric Grease for my PC system.. does anyone know where this is or some good equivalent which can be sourced in BKK?

    Luberex Dielectric Lubricant

    I would like to avoid having to ship it in due to the cost of shipping and then of course Customs should they feel like it ...

    If you are wondering what it is for, it is to help prevent condensation in and around the CPU when it is under extreme temps - sub-zero.

    Thanks in advance.

  4. I find there is a huge difference with True between off-hours and prime time.  This morning at around 9:30 a.m., I was clocking at 3Mbps.  Tonight, at 10:00 p.m., I'm getting 100Kbps.  Must be more home users out there surfing in the evenings.  I should probably switch to an SME package I guess, if I want high speed at night.

    PD: I have a home True account at 512K, and found that I was consistently getting less than True stated performance. :D

    Calling True was an interesting experience :o and after lots a Q's and "we will send a engineer to you..." Convincing them that this would not be necessary as it too is what I do... I found that they reset my account and now I get greater than charged rates often > 1Mb :D

    What I have been using is this site Line Speed Meter to test and track the history of my link.. So on some days True service just sucks... but now generally it is good.... Just have to wisper in their ear :D

  5. My next PC will be an AMD 64+ with SLI capabilities and a NForce4 mother board.... I know, I know, I am SO hallucinating.  Not that I have that much time to play.

    Well I'll let you know what I find at Pantip... I have yet to fully search this place and maybe wll need to import (hand carry) some bits in to get the right build and quality. It would appear that ur looking at the same spec machine as I wish to build.. will be good at the LAN parties :o

  6. An interesting point to note is that there is no such thing as overkill... can one have too much memory (not brain cells) or CPU horse power? - it will come down to how deep into your wallet wish to go and how serious about gaming.

    GPU is only part of the picture and there are alot of other factors to be considered. Sarting with the case - airflow, internal storage

    PSU - is 500 Watt really enough?

    MOBO - chipset and CPU socket

    CPU - AMD or Intel

    RAM - DDR / DDR2

    GPU - SLi support

    Drives - Qty, size, speed, SATA

    Sound - Can you drive it through your AC-3 system?

    Display - Size and Resolution to be able to show that GPU quality

    Does anyone know why you can purchase Thermaltake cases and PSUs? As I am looking at upgrading my system :o

  7. Well what did he do to deserve almost dying ?? Come clean with your story or are u a troller !?

    Hey Ned... :D

    No this is not a troll.. was seeking advice for a mate who got cobbered by the mia, luckily he has not suffered anything further (like death :D ). I guess we posted this in the wrong forum... so we are no further enlightened for the next time... :o

    Situation: Quiet balmy night in 'sunny' Bkk, just slipping out for a few quiet ones, stop at the servo and then off to the local. Meet up with some mates and watch a race, eat and then back home... problem - not drunk therefore must be someone else (another woman). Mia wishes to return home up north - Q: How can you survive alone in BKK, therefore you must have Mia Noi - Stab. :D

  8. ....

    So, what happened, ultimately? Did the cops show?

    Or is this a 'what if...?' deal?

    Thanks Ajarn... What's the deal...? :D

    Well this is not a what if :D , so he has not gone to seek any medical attention for the fear of the police getting involved. It was a stabbing, missed the heart by about 30mm, with a broken bottle... and the reason, because he does not have a mia noi... :D.... Oh the thinking minds ....

    I guess he has been very lucky.. no glass remained in the wound, no cracked ribs and there are no ducks around either!! :o

  9. Ok, Ok I can see now that asking a practical question has absolutely no interest to any one :D ... UNLESS it has underlying elements of scandal, sex or soap -_- Yes there is all of this which has happened, hence the stabbing with a broken bottle by a jealous LOS national !!! :D .. can anyone offer any advice .. apart from asking the police direct :D

    The original post ....

    As in some countries if a patient has suffered any serious injury (gun shot, stabbing) :o then the doctors are obliged by law to inform the local police. :wub: The question is do doctors or hospitals in LOS have to make a report to the police if they suspect any fowl play?

    Here is the scenario:

    A mate has recently being the recipient of a stabbing from a LOS national and is concerned if by going to the hospital for treatment, they will contact the police for ‘further enquiries..’ something no one wishes on anyone ... :D

  10. Go for the Canon. Good quality, plenty of features and cheaper. Mine is great.

    Agree with you. My Canon works a treat too and the battery (Li-Ion) lasts a good full day - can shoot 400+ pics before needing a top-up and by then your back somewhere to download them to your other power hungry machine. :o
