And this, I believe, would be a pretty good RAM cooling mechanism available on that site. Cheap, easy... ( http://www.1coolpc.com/ramsinks.htm ) If you use that one, be sure to put a thermal sensor on your RAM and let me know how it works out for you. I'm curious, see. I've been doing a lot of research because I'm working on putting a new box together. I've got no money so I have done a lot of planning and no buying.

For some more money, you could get one of these ( http://www.1coolpc.com/memcoolplus.htm ) and one or two more of these ( http://www.1coolpc.com/memcoolcopper.htm or http://www.1coolpc.com/memcool.htm -- only a $3 difference, so get the former) if you have more than one stick of RAM.

! there is such a thing as thermal adhesive? and all this time ive been using mustard...

actually the hommade heatsink works pretty good! (was 57C, now 65C) [EDIT]

BTW, good for you, building your own computer is the only way to go...

i am growing tired of this topic...

Did you use 2.0.59 before and it worked fine? Because the differences between 2.0.59 and 2.0.60 are quite minor.

hmm... it happens with 59 too... i guess its just my problem,

the chance of it locking up is:
2.0.60: 80%
2.0.59: 60%

i think it has to do with the resolution switch et exit (going from 1024x768 to 2048x1152)

anyway i guess ill have to live with it...

OK, well, give me your real numbers now.

it actually didnt do anything... it remains the same as before

maybe its not attached properly... ill mess with it later...[reallytinytext]or ill go buy some real ones[/reallytinytext]

It didn't do anything because the heatsink is not in proper contact with the chips on each module. Also, the thermal sensor should be on the chip, not the card. ALSO, heat sinks won't do much good for long if your case's airflow isn't any good, because there will nothing to carry away the heat and it'll just travel back into the chip the heatsink is sitting on.

with a little bit of research i managed to figure out that the process "zdoom" (that is zdoom im assuming) does not end upon quitting the program, and ending it manually dosent kill it either...

also

this bug dosent happen when i run zdoom in a window with capped fps and vsync

Post by **randi** » Tue Jan 06, 2004 8:09 pm

Vsync is never used in windowed mode.

those are the options i changed between the last time it locked and when it started working

i thinkl its just fullscreen that does anything

In other words, its the same as this?

Post by **Bio Hazard** » Thu Jan 08, 2004 7:39 pm

hmm... i think so, but the process dosent stop. (or is that what "stays in memory" means?)
