is that a typo or did you mean to say 10 pounds last 5 hours

No, that is what it says in the thread. Remember now that the DICE will be used up a ton faster than if you let a chunk just sit out on a table. You are purposely increasing the speed of the sublimation of the DICE by a lot, to cool your cpu (and/or gpu). The heat of the cpu goes into the pot, then the DICE, causing to sublimate the DICE faster, but in the process, exchanging its heat with the DICE, therefore keeping the cpu very cold.
 
Think of it like regular ice. If you put regular ice on the table, yes it will melt, but will take a while. If you put a heat source touching it, it will melt x-times faster, depending on the heat temperature, but in the process, cool down the heat source. A good example would be holding a piece of ice. It melts much faster in your hand than on a table because your hand is x-times warmer than the table. Your hand in the process gets very cold though, from the heat exchange between your hand to the ice(heat going out of your hand into the ice).

Wow 10 bucks a pound? It's $1.29 at publix here. (Boca Raton, Florida) The only thing holding me back from doing DICE is my parents.

And yeah Rabid that would be a lot of fun. Now I just need a spare rig to run the conference.. Hmm. I have an old POS hp but something's wrong with it. The colors are weird.. And I don't have a monitor for it.. But I suppose I could just run it via VGA and run my main via DVI, then just switch if needed.. Hmm. Might just spend a few $ and make an itty bitty acrylic rig.. That's tempting. Could do a lot of webrowsing on it.. I think I'm rambling on a bit here. lol.

I would just steal my mom's laptop for a day. It has a built-in webcam. (i don't have my own)

 

haha. I have a webcam. People don't like when I steal the laptop for all day though.. lol. I might have to see about setting that HP up..

This is by far the longest thread I've ever seen

that furry thread in the general forum is much longer... this is just the most useful thread ;)

getting more and more pissed at xfx they just tried telling me that a 9600gt with no 6pin power is a better/faster card than the 8800gs alpha dog that I sent to them for rma. GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


Once again kudos to evga.

the one with the cats?

reggie..tell them you want a 9800 gt then

Must be a new rule because none of the older cards have links. The newer ones all do, the only reason I care is because if I didnt need a link I could switch to the ati 10.2 drivers and that adds like 300 points or more to a vantage score.

Reg, you only need a link for top 20.  And you can use any driver you want.  Does not have to be FM approved...any driver goes at HWbot!

+1!

Well ill try thats what I was hoping for Ive been going back and forth with the online support but thats a pita I cant beleave he tried telling me it was a better card. Im sure ill have to wait to resolve this on Monday. I would just keep it if I thought I could sell it for a decent price but I just picked one up for 35 bucks shipped so that means brand new it might be worth 40.

the one with the cats?

Lol I didnt pick it , it looked rediculous too a wierd dog with goggles on. At least it wasnt justin timberlake

If any driver goes ill get a few medals tonight for sure, i feel like im obligated to game for a little just spent the last hour and a half figuring out how to use a nvidia card for physix with ati card for vid.

I believe this is the longest thread ever lol not in this forum though... http://www.radioparadise.com/content.php?name=Forums&file=showtopic&topic_id=783 18427 pages ****?
